Re: Mattaes Phillipou

The Pou and Sheezel were drafted 7 picks apart. Sheezel has averaged almost 30 disposals per game since. What about the picks 4,5,6? All spuds. After today's game by Wilson and the Pou you can form your own opinion. Pou isn't showing much this year and had an absolute stinker today...will he be pla...

Re: Darcy Wilson

This kid looks like he could be the complete package and the first genuine elite talent we've recruited. A long way to go but early signs are this kid could be the whole package.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Roos

Dougal had a really good game, knuckle heads who think he isn't important to our structure is clueless...probably think Sharman is a natural forward with great running patterns. How good did we look with Hayes in the side, he was gassed in the last and will be better for that game. Wilson had elite ...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Roos

Max King has to be the laziest footballer ever to play the game, I'll be shocked if he keeps up this poor attitude and doesn't get dropped.

There was absolutely no attempt to attack that ball aerially and try and jump to mark it.

Re: St.Kilda 🆚 Bottom Teams

If North beat us they will only be 1 game behind us on the ladder, aren't we a bottom team? That's a big 'if' and it won't happen today. There has been a lot of talk on here about the games against North last year. Firstly, the first game we played them last season we beat them very easily. They ne...

Have a look at who's been backed in to play this week (Dougal Howard)... And who's been dropped (Zaine Cordy) Don't get me wrong. I like what Zaine offers as back up and for the short term he has earnt his keep...but we need to constantly think about what our team will look like in 2026 and beyond ...

Re: Things we must do v North

King is not a ruckman Marshall is not a forward So that would be a silly idea More chance of Jack Higgins playing in the ruck tomorrow and he’s 5’10 and suspended King hasn’t exactly set the world on fire as a key forward this year either, Ben pinch hits in the ruck so why can’t Max.

I will not lose my head if we lose to North. Taking the long game and definitely won’t be throwing the baby out with the bath water. If we lose, I will be deleting my saintsational and bigfooty shortcuts for at least a week. I suggest anyone who values their sanity do the same. I also recommend get...

Re: Things we must do v North

What been missing for most of the season thus far is the basics such as skill errors, missed kicks, marks and hand balls, missed targets, tackles not sticking and most surprising of all…lack of pressure and intensity across 4 quarters. All symptomatic of a very young and inexperienced team, patience...

Re: Can we?

I agree to some degree that there are no short cuts for talent acquisition but that is only true for us and similar small poorer clubs. 1 million percent! I make this point often, it is much much harder for poor Melbourne clubs like ours, which there are only a few. It's just hilarious to think tal...
