This is a crackpot suggestion! Just cast your myopic mind back to the time when he was injured. We had to readjust almost the entire team. It affected the backline to allow some players to move into attack to say nothing of the great gap in the forward line. It slowed our winning progress but we got...

I may not have the answer and I wonder if RL has. All I know is that during the week I posted somewhere on this forum that I feared the Bummers who seem to grow an extra leg every time they play us. I also said we would have to muzzle Momfries. Both turned sour on us last night. However, we clearly ...

Yes, they sem to be able to unseat us whatever position we are in. Monfries is one who will have to be muzzled very early. he has the capability to roam wide and is dangerous inside the 50m arc. Would love to have Bakes on him, but...

So , this clears the way for him to invoke a 50m penalty if opposing players try to cut into his sacred arc !!

You will be missed SOS and hard to replace.

I thought he made further improvement. But can we wait that long for him to be a winner

Been down this well worn track many times over the years. How good to see Carlscum and the Bummers in strife.

The main changes need to be made above shoulder level. We were outgunned in the brains department and need to get rid of complacency very quickly or it will happen again.

I was reminded this afternoon why they are called The Filth.
Every time Rooey went near the ball he was hooted.
Every time Milney got a touch he was hooted.
And every clanger (and there were plenty) brought loud cheers.
They have never forgotten that we won a Flag against them by a point.

I agree--strange indeed. McEvoy had to make way for Kozi I suppose but Dempster would be able to take up the loss of Bakes. And yet Dawson survives. I just hope for our sake he makes me wrong about him.

Not the way I read (heard) what they said. My immediate reaction was to recall the saying that " a champion team will always beat a team of champions". What they said may be true and will be confirmed or denied in September or maybe earlier. So if you need a more direct translation I belie...

That I/C Bench looks frightenly inexperienced but that is ourtraining school and I have faith in them.

A Collins Pocket Dictionary costs little and is worth its weight in gold

Is there a hidden agenda somewhere in all this?
It lies doggo for six years and reemerges just as Milne is hitting top form and Saints are to line up for a major test.
My point is: have the whistle - blower cops any vested interests?

Yes, reluctantly, Buddy for me given the pressure and the skill of the moment which obviously lifted his team to a win

Kozzi is slowly but surely finding his way back. Every week is an improvement. Just want to see him taking those big grabs. His ground play is fitting in well with other forwards too.

Be patient folks. " just a spoonfull of sugar..............."

Good to see the smaller players coming in for a share of the play and doing well-- Mini, Schnieder, Ray and of course Bakes who has nearly always been there

Sometimes an aperient takes a while to work.

Mabe THIS week he will go out.

I would have said so, as I did many times.
Go , go the boy from Rabaul.

So we cannot take a trick with the MRP.

Foz, Thanks for the report

There is a rule on this of which I am not fully aware but IMO Betts was not within the rule because if every player is under threat as Goddard was then the game and the AFL is turning into a joke.

Huge call and I said earlier tonight he will continue to play but he cant kick a goal what is the point. i think he will hold on but he really has had enough chances. All I recall is that when he did hold a mark there were ironic cheers from so-called Saints supporters (maybe with a few opposition ...
