It's NOT a game I'll watch again, anytime soon, if ever. A lot of it was rugby union scrums. In a few weeks, 17 teams will work out how to beat our -'scrum' tactic, and we'll get monstered unless we can reinvent our clearance work and be more fluid and free-flowing. Until we find a Lachy Neale and A...

We won the clearances, even though Nankervis is a heaps better tap ruckman than Marshall. Nobody will agree with me, but I thought Jones played a part in that result. He stood his ground in stoppages and made it hard for the Tigers to get the ball out. Yes, he stuffed up in other respects, but he m...

I don't know how to attach a link... Prior to the game, RTB was talking about Collard. 'I love Lance so much, I let him have my car for 2 months' 😳 RTB recently lost too many demerit points over a 3 yr period so licence suspended for 2 mths. ''He got it cleaned, left it with a full tank" lol Ju...

Sportsbet gives us $1.32 or something, Tigers longer odds. Weird.
But if you believe tipsters have any influence on 23 young blokes, I worry for your sanity

Tigers marked out the dimensions of Norwood Oval, on Punt Rd Oval during training, so they could get used to the ground size.

RTB said that's OTT and obsessive.
He said we could play on asphalt or gravel, he doesn't care.

I thought it was a good idea, we should have tried that too.

Anyway

Then delivered a nice kick to a 2 on 1 in Dees favour.
That last one he does 2-3 times a game.

I learn so much here on ss

I thought they didn't have skin in the game though

Sharman is slow for a mid size Can take the odd catch and kicks it pretty well Poor at ground level and defensively He is very much a kick - mark player That’d be alright if he was as big at Hawkins, Lynch or Lewis At 193-90 He needs to be as agile as Gunston or Fritch Very overrated, puts in a hal...

Got into the West Australian’s team of the weekend on the bench, because of his “massive” 1 018m “gained” A useless statistic. Too much American detritus has crept into Aussie Rules terminology. If they were honest, they'd subtract the total distance of the 17 turnovers to arrive at a more realisti...

I checked the last game vs Tigers for stats.
To see which Tiger got the most possies.
Tim Taranto- 38 touches. AF points- 147

Will RTB let the guy go unchallenged or will he hard tag

After we let Ryder go, the club's coaches (and they've changed obv in the meantime) didn't care (seemingly) about our glaring ruck situation. They seemed to think Roma can do it and get a half-cocked chopout from anybody over 190 cms... That's NOT good enough, for me. Salary cap is a delicate balanc...

Bonner's 17 turnoivers is apparently the worst recorded by a player since 2012. Weirdly, the club sold him to us as a precision kick. If Brad Scott's plan was to stifle Nas and free up Bonner to turn the ball over, he knows moire about Bonner than the Saints brains trust does. I noticed him take se...

Fair enough. Can't really argue this one. Hand in your membership Durham goes low - Windy turns to protect the knees Fight this - then go Michael Christian for his job - biased and illogical Pedlebury hits - with an open palm - to the guts - nothing to see here - Windhager - football act - gets sus...

AFL site rated Bonner at 127 AF points, highest Saint. 3 higher than Steele. Disposal Efficiency of 66%. Champion Data is used very flawed non-realistic data points or criteria for DE. I think a disposal is classed as perfect if it goes straight to a team-mate, near a team-mate, or to a 50/50. What ...

I can't award any votes.
Maybe
Ross
RoMa
Steele
That's it

Wanna see what Ross says in the presser.

The Tigers will surely belt us by over 8 goals if this is our style.
Trying for miracle goals instead of going inside when we have more guys in F50.

We'll get creamed

Can’t push an ineffective player up to the contest and let a HB get 40+

That’s bizarre coaching

I wonder if they don't wanna hard tag an accumulator, just trust the players up the ground to man up on their opponents

A guy on FB reckons Steele wasn't training with main group today- ran laps, then had some training with the Irish kid

Mason Wood's injury... RTB says we're the 2nd youngest team in Rd2... It's amazing how strong the guys were from that point onwards. 5 goals to one in the 3rd. They didn't lose focus and seemed to be mentally tougher than the Filth. Pressure ramped up, even knowing a team-mate was injured. That's me...

We beat the Filth though

Being heard now

Rossy has this effect on opposition Coaches. I have to agree. Only saw a few minutes of the Filth coach, but he looked like lost, confused. I don't think he knew what the hell happened. During the game, when cameras showed his face, he looked like a farmer watching a cornfield get torn apart by a t...
