The Dogs game also suits me, and I would like to be involved in the raffle, thanks .

Whenever a junior in any sport steps up to the senior level, unless they are extraordinarily self-assured there is likely an element of self-doubt as to whether they truly belong. I hope that, with his two excellent last-quarter efforts ( that will certainly have drawn praise from coaches and collea...

I had Cordy in my top 5 until Wilkie’s superb last quarter just squeezed him out. Cordy was good all day.

5. Josh Battle - superb all day

4. Jack Steele - ditto

3. Nasiah Wanganeen- Milera. Made one blue, but otherwise great .

2. Callum Wilkie - brilliant second half.

1. Brad Hill - ditto

Wonderful quarter by Hill; Jones and Owens lifted too. Battle and Steele remain the standout players today . NWM quality.

Outrageous comment . I suggest you withdraw it . Surely you cannot mean it.

There are some good commentators in the AFL; Luke Darcy and Jobe Watson are not amongst them.

Good grief - we look way off the pace early.

We all talk petracca v mccartin But the biggest travesty was Judd v ball That cost us a premiership I agree with Meher Baba’s eloquent views on this . Also, It really is fair only to look at the decision at the time and, back in 2001 , the selection of Ball over Judd was totally reasonable. Judd ha...

Sainter_Dad When I do my votes next time, I’ll start a Votes Discussion thread. I’ll provide a link at the bottom of my voting post. Cheers and sorry to mess with your algo bot No problems - I look forward to your discussions. And BTW - the suggestion to take it elsewhere literally came from when p...

So so frustrating and , in a macabre way, inevitable. We always seem to find a way. 5. Seb Ross. Superb early and still running hard at the end. 4. Rowan Marshall. Contested strongly against two ruckmen. 3. Jack Sinclair. Coming back into form. 2. Jack Steele. Big heart. 1. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera. ...

I usually kick off the votes, but tonight I am interstate for work and will be stuck in a dinner. So if someone else could kick the thread off , that would be appreciated.

Best wishes to all attending the G tonight.

Go Saints !

5. Marshall. Wholehearted ruck effort all night.
4. Steele. Great onball work .
3. King. I loved his movement - presented a target. If 2.4 was 5.1 he gets the top votes.
2. Cordy. Blanketed Hawkins .
1. Henry. Terrific endeavour. Will be a beauty .

Hawkins just hit the post. Why was that only give a point ?

Terrible kick by Ross sets up Henry to be crunched , and they goal .

Sadly I will be away for work , so am out.

I just watched replay of the main game. Lots to like. Yes it was only a practice match, but all players were on the same page re the game plan, and execution was pretty good. Bonner a skilful distributor off half back. Perhaps this will allow Sinclair to be released into mid field . The Henry/ Hill ...

Gotta love the way the story is written up on saints.com.au "The Saints will field a near full-strength 26-man squad for their first hit-out of the year against opposition...Jack Sinclair (calf), Brad Crouch (knee), Hunter Clark (concussion), Paddy Dow (knee), Dan Butler (ankle) and Zak Jones ...

Count me out for this one.

I retire this year , so hopefully from next year onwards I will be able to take up these opportunities if my lucky number comes up !

I don’t think the Swamp Fox needs special recognition, but I disagree that he was a dud. In 1977 under Ross Smith we won 3 and drew 2 matches. In 1978 , Patterson was coach and we won 11 and drew 1. It was a fun season. He got us playing a very very tough brand of footy - the Baby Bombers still whi...

An excellent performance by the West Indies, playing with wonderful spirit and focus, not distracted by extraneous issues nor burdened by arrogance.

Hopefully next time they will be given a third test .

A fascinating five test series is just beginning with India hosting England.

Butler not listed as a non-runner in the report above, but presumably the second ankle op has sidelined him . He usually finishes somewhere near the front.

Skeptic - as I said in a PM a few weeks ago , I reckon you are doing an excellent job. The true test however will come if the team loses its first 3 or 4 games and we start turning on the players, coach and each other !
