I think saints need to plan for Tom Atkins based on form.

A little bit of this and a little bit of that… in the end, the 18-23 players were all Ross had. Possibly, he could have left Stocker out and brought Bytel or a Membrey in.

In the end, it’s a cupboard bare scene. Ross has his own limitations. He’s also got an inferior list than 2006-2011.

I actually felt bad for Ross. He had to come out and put a himself on the line in the press conference after that kind of performance. That was all the players, nothing wrong with the coaching.
We all have our favourite whipping boys!

Yeah the gap between the top two and the rest seems insurmountable. Melbourne got a win against Pies on their grand final. Lions win at the Gabba, but the GF is on MCG. Their best bet is to get Port on a GF…. which is still not a good omen. But it sure does feel like the rest of the comp is just mak...

Contracted this year so the Dogs will want a bounty.

Saints shouldn't overpay like in the case of a contracted Hill.

I am expecting the reverse. Most players who signed on would now be looking for the exit. The results will fall apart until Hardwick arrives. It is a plastic club.

Good player. At this rate, he’s looking like a Lethlean Hannebery special. He did overrule the Recruiment team.


Then Max King over Connor Rozee or Bailey Smith.

Wow… I was right not to tune in. Some players have checked out like fair weather supporters like me.

I’ll come back in 2036 now to check the place out.

Roma to wing (gives height and point of difference)
Campbell to ruck to help with clearances
Bytel in to help with clearances

Perhaps bring someone else in and get Marshall to be a tall winger. The wingers St kilda aren't good marks. So this can be a point of difference

Back after skipping most of the match. Saw a bit of the third quarter. Some players have lifted but it really is a case of too few. So much is lost in the head, it’s not funny. They should replace half the coaching sessions with watching the first 4-5 rounds, so the players can visualise what they w...

Signing off early today.

Backwards handballs, overly defensive mindset.

Just look set for a spanking. Who knows... I wish I am wrong. Will check score at the end of the day.

I place this loss squarely on the captain Jack Steele. He didn’t look happy to have come back from injury. He should have put his hand up to say he’s not fully ready yet. That would have been the tough decision. Been just getting his performance covered up by others. To be fair he was good last wee...

As much as I like Lyon's coaching, his reigns have also meant really bad drafting Armitage over Frawley and Riewoldt McEvoy over Dangerfield, Cyril, Harry Taylor, Rance and Callan Ward Sure other clubs also looked them over... Still, I am struggling to think of any great picks other than Jack Steven...

So much about personnel. If you had Gresham and King, it would hHave been a different conversation.

Gresham?

In: King, Gresham, Webster, Windhager
Out: Membrey, Sharman, Paton, Bytel

Not sure if Steele will get up. Didn't play Q4. Ross says he will... Let's see.

Next week? I am thinking about 2024

Bold prediction time…

Won’t go out of the team now barring injury

Because I’ll lose complete faith in Lyon

Cordy is fkn hopeless

Can we please see a photo of the hat eating?

Worst ever game - 2010 GF Replay

Worst win under Lyon

R6 2010 vs Dogs

49 vs 46 win.... Total points under 100.


6.11 vs 6.8 Dogs

The Dogs didn't kick a goal in the second half. Sound familiar?

Membrey is a great second/third forward.

This game it was just him. Hopefully, he'll be better when Caminiti and King return. He can go back to being the second forward.

Melbourne percentage better than ours now - we drop down to second. Need to win - and need percentage if we can win. Big question… before the season started were we even thinking top 4? IMO, Ross should change focus slightly by bringing in even more debuts this one. It will mean options towards the...

To me, it was the perfect storm. Depleted team Short break Etc. Port’s great record at Marvel Recent history against defensive teams, eg just beat Sydney at the SCG. Perfect match up failures. Both Membrey and McCartin (when he was at St kilda) used to struggle against Aliir due to his height and re...
