Re: Analysis of St K v Rich wins

The narrative is more about how good Hawthorn were. Everyone is jumping on the Hawks train, expect many to pick them for top 8 next year. Fair point The Hawks have a degree of excitement but are 10 players short of really threatening (too much reliance on Sicily for a start) Form is a fickle thing ...

Re: Votes v Roos

I can’t believe no one has not put Webster in their votes. I thought his efforts were enormous, spoils, tackles etc, definitely kept us in the game

Therefore

4 Webster
4 Steele
4 Windhager
2 Marshall
1 Owens

Analysis of St K v Rich wins

It’s interesting to listen to many talk up the great Richmond comeback v ours. Richmond were playing the 3rd bottom team and were getting completely outplayed up till 3/4 time (I watched the game), yes it was a good comeback But the reality is that they are a media love child who were playing terrib...

Zebra lose by 16

Suspect will never play for St K again

Connolly
Highmore
Paton

I think Byrnes has a future, he can do some really clever things, needs his disposals to be tidier

Re: Jack Byte’s back. Team v Roos

Frankly I am stunned by this team, in particular that Mathias is still in the team. He looked so cooked last week

Surely he should have had a spell

What is the result of RTB hard words.. Butler out but is that also either or both Gresham and Stocker

Re: We need to trade some good players to get draft picks.

We overrate players when it comes to trading and underrate players when it comes to performance. Lets say we finish 7-10 gives us pick 9-12, barring FS and Academy northern players. Gresham may leave as FA , compensation based on what he new club pays and who that is. FA really is the only way we c...

Re: Jones & Gresham

Gresham is one of the most disappointing players I have seen at St K

129 games, he should be at the top of his game

Should be ripping up games like yesterday, he should be our point of difference

Not letting duds like Atkins rake up 32 disposals

How bad are the others? Still 6th!

Loved watching the other results yesterday

Every goal Geelong kicked pushed the bombers lower, then the beauty of the GWS win, pushing us back up to 6th

Bottom line, we are still breathing (even though we may be the worst 6th side in history)

Footys a funny game

Re: Sinclair to the midfield

If you look at his disposal tracker on afl.com.au he had 78% possessions in the back half, so in effect he was a defensive midfielder But in my opinion with virtually no impact on the game. He only had 3 score involvements, we need his disposals the reverse of the 78% so that he is delivering the ba...

by B.M » Sat 25 Feb 2023 8:57am I know we overrate our kids because we need hope. But he’s got some improvement left to do if he’s to be an AFL player. Doesn’t help that he’s being played out of position (forward) he is clearly an inside mid His kicking is not good. We love him because he’s a good s...

Re: Owens

Hmm 🤔 The comparison to Daicos was in reference to labelling Owens a star already. He may well be one day, but as it stands he is still getting there. Daicos is an actual star - will win the Brownlow this season and is easily the best young player in the game - if not the best player. None of the o...

Re: Owens

Further
Owens has already polled 25 coaches votes this year (4th best Saint)

And he may well win the Rising Star

So for a player who has played half the games of N Daicos (who is undoubtedly a complete jet) he is going ok

Only a saints supporter (and a one eyed one at that) would suggest Owens is even in the same conversation as Daicos I’ll give you Ashcroft and Sheezel But obviously you haven’t watched much Collingwood… although you should have at least seen the game vs StK where Daicos had 43 and got 10 coaches vo...

Windhager and protected area

Simply appalling umpiring The law states that there is a 5metre protected area behind the player which cannot be entered until kick is taken or play on called So when Marcus takes the mark in the middle of the ground and is tackled by a player standing literally right behind him it has to be a 50 me...

Re: Marshall

No questioning Roma’s marking around the ground, but we need to restructure the ruck set up
