Ryan Byrnes… too hot and cold. Game was on the line and he had 1 touch on the last quarter. Seb Ross was voted as best on ground by the Saintsational crew Sebby had 3 touches in the last quarter. All were uncontested. His disposal efficiency in the last was 66.66% That means he had 2 effective disp...

Riley Bonner - he gets a lot of airtime this week for his infamous 17 turnovers overshadowing his 32 touches. Obviously Essendon get credit for shadowing and reducing the impact of NWM who is the key play maker of our HBFs. Here’s the thing though… this isn’t the first time a Saints play maker has c...

You certainly couldn’t bank on him having 17 touches a match against quality opposition

Admittedly his 32 touches weren’t as impactful as the 8 Jack had
Riley had more touches on Saturday… then Jack has had in three of his games combined

Didn’t have the best game on Saturday but he’s turned up every week so far and busted a gut.

The other 250k would be tied into Riley Bonner

If Bonner is the trade off, then I reckon so far, that I’m pretty happy with that.
Bonner looks to me to be a much better prospect

have we lost that with the new site?? I was loving life…his little mate will be along soon if so…sadly.. Just tested it out… seems to be working fine for me.

I said he took a courageous contested mark - since we were giving singular incidents to mark a players courage? Luke Breust is obviously a star Matt Guelfi averages 13ppg Billing 20ppg Just admit he was a good HFF at his best He wasn’t the elite player we hoped when drafted (for a variety of reason...

What's noticeable about him is his light frame. He played on Sam Weideman and Weideman looked like Tom Hawkins compared to Keeler. Although the same height, Keeler could make no physical impact with his one on one contests. He simply couldn't move Weideman off the ball and Weideman is not known for...

BM, you just said he won them those games. Don’t flip the script as if I’m the one creating a false narrative. No one but you is expressing the belief of a false narrative that he hasn’t had good games. Like many… I’m just pointing out that he isn’t the consistent, elite match winner that you’re pai...

Why not - most AFL teams are pretty good aren’t they? He just did it for Melbourne - they’ve won 3 Honestly- I reckon we rewrite history to suit our agenda Don’t we just :lol: :lol: :lol: Just did it for Melbourne did he!? With his 8 touches before he was subbed off - Take a note BM, Melbourne step...

Soft means different things.

I don’t doubt his courage or ability to put his head over the ball…
I wouldn’t want him on the field when the game is there to be won against quality opposition

Waaay too early for this call IMO

Seems to me that the mistake here is that Windhager turned instead of catapulting into the air and grabbing his leg like he’d broken it.

Wouldn’t want to be paying him $500k for his output so far this season.

I noted 0.2 to Coops today.

That’s bad for him

He was just doing a Dougal Howard

And was too soft to take a slightly tough pass and took the soft option of a dump down the line

If he can’t pull the trigger - what’s his value

Didn’t watch the match but blows my mind that NWM wasn’t doing this…
He’s elite at it

Just looking at the stats…

Bonner - 17 turnovers. That’s got to be a record

Byrnes - 1 touch that last quarter was very bad

Obviously a lot of frustration here but cna you guys firing insults at each other please stop now

I feel a bit iffy. King and Henry are huge outs… + Parish and Redman are good ins. Steele’s ‘illness’ bothers me as well. Historically Essendon’s ball winners and rucks cause us issues. Conversely, one thing that’s really good about our squad is that it has match winners all over the place that coul...

I find the lack of news about contract signing a tad concerning…we are showing faith….playing him…coach loves him …I don’t get the hold up If I were Phillipou and his Manager, I'd wait. If he goes up a level during the season, then he gets a better contract. Phillipou does strike me as the type of ...

I don’t know why… but my sense of him, gut if you will, he seems very committed to us and we seem to be treating him pretty well

I find the lack of news about contract signing a tad concerning…we are showing faith….playing him…coach loves him …I don’t get the hold up We went through the same thing with NWM - Second year, players typically want to establish themselves a little more to up their contract. Can’t say I’m all that...
