The run home

We’re still in 5th spot but will likely lose that to victor of todays Crows v Dons match. However, we will still be in 8. Run home is as follows - Sun at GC - probably lose based on current form and injuries. North at Marvel - should win Hawks at Marvel - despite the previous disaster, should win Bl...

Re: Some Perspective

It was a brave loss in respect to injuries. But, Melbourne didn’t shift from third gear at any point during that game and they still never looked like losing. Quality of our forward entries were hideous, turn overs from the back half almost as bad. No injuries, would the result have been different? ...

Re: Trading Marshall

Would have lost by 10 goals without Marshall. Still, for the right price anyone is tradeable. I'd certainly look at it if we got 6 No 1 picks in the next 6 years and a smattering of No 2 picks. I wouldn’t even entertain that. Who knows what GOPs we would bring in while the next Petracca goes for pi...

Re: Sharman on the wing?

He was filling in at half back flank. Howard, Wilkie and Pou played as the key position defenders. When he plays forward he's usually a HFF. When does he play the role of key position? You’re probably right. I think being a mobile unit is definitely to his strength, whether that be as a forward or ...

Re: Anyone have an update on Hill?

I’ve certainly been critical of Hill since he arrived (and rightly so IMO) but this year I think he has been one of our top consistent performers and can hold his head up high in a lot of games where many of his team mates can’t. Hope he’s ok. Agreed. He had an uninspiring start to his career at th...

Mate we’re 5th on the ladder in a discovery year. Relax. Never a truer word. It’s a discovery year for the coaches. Next years team will have a lot of different faces. We are not a top four team- we’re not that good. But I have faith this current group of coaches/administrators are looking at the b...

We need him
Despite our list woes, he’s been a trooper.

He’s busting his guts and his 1%s have been terrific.

Even though he gets pinged holding ball at times, at least he’s prepared to take the game on.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 16 2023

All we did was put lipstick on absolute pig of a performance.

That just papers over the cracks of the real problems we’re facing and to say the end result as all that matters is being aloof to the reality of our form.

Mate we’re 5th on the ladder in a discovery year. Relax. Appreciated, but we almost got beaten by the worst team in quite possibly the last 30 years. We went into the half-time break with a 24 point deficit. That is a “take the four points and run” performance if I’ve ever seen one. Our 5th spot on...

The players have none.

Too used to playing for a cuddle-culture regime. As long as we tried and we were decent football citizens, that was apparently as good as a win.

So, please explain the definition of a “team supporter?” If it means unconditionally supporting what’s currently being dished up now, you’re welcome to your soap box.
