Did you mean ... "hold me to it," the other way around?

I'll hand it to you, if you're right, though (with Max coming in vs North).

The injury list from 19 April says 4 to 6 weeks.
https://www.saints.com.au/news/1311267/ ... ble-return
Beats walking around the boundary or sitting in the stands.
But will they play him in the seniors or at Sandringham to find his touch.
Would not like to see him repeat Ben game against St Kilda.

Max isn’t in full training as yet

He’ll probably need a month of that first

Incorrect on both accounts. And Hayes is a lot closer too- but will come back through the VFL
We have to be careful when the situation arises that both Tim and Max are in the same team. Our worst two defensive pressure forwards

Higgins, Butler, Gresh will provide enough pressure.
King n Skunk will be marking targets mainly.

We have Owens, Hammer, Pou to provide 2nd+3rd efforts that Skunk+King may not provide. Also Cordy.

I reckon in finals, we have to bench Skunk+King for longer than normal if we're in front, to avoid leakage from F50

You rarely post any negatives or downsides about any player 🤷🏼‍♂️
This is a revelation

Ross said that in pre-season, he let Lenny/Banger/Boris run most of the training.
In each post-match presser, he makes a point of praising the 3 musketeers.
In your opinion, is RTB less of a senior coach and more of a 'Director of Coaching'?
Either way, the results so far are beyond our wildest dreams

IMO. Banger is a tactical genius. Lendog so trusted and Boris the ultra professional. And Ross may mention the three but he has massive belief in Nick and Damian’s work. Massive.

Struggling with your forward pressure mate? Respect that you can be so open about it. ☺️

Given your enjoyment in pointing out spelling and grammatical errors in forum contributors’ posts, I thought I’d validate your actual meaning.

Misses – I assume you are not referring to Saints goal kicking, so I’ll focus on a female partner.

Misses - is widely used for the plural of Miss, now I can’t see an old d** bl****r having multiple femme fatale style mistresses, so I think that is out of the running. Misses can also be used as a slang term for an unmarried female partner, but I’m guessing you are married, so strike two.

Missus or Mrs is more commonly used for a married woman partner, and I’m guessing this was your intention.

Don’t be too disheartened, you were only one letter out this time, huge improvement on your classic “Hosa” effort.

Ross has Higgins playing well defensively which was not his strength, surely he'll get to work on Tim & Max.
Max has had plenty of time in the stands watching and hopefully learning.

Tony

I was at Training Wednesday

Max was not in full training

He did three drills - on the most part - non contact

Also hard to imagine Gresham or Cordy being better defensively than Membrey (in particular) and Max.

That said, Cordy is important structurally so it's more plug & play in that regard.

To be fair training watchers get to find out a few snippets of info by lurking around the grounds as much as they do but at the end of the day they are akin to groupies and hardly ITKs so T74 can be forgiven for getting the odd prediction wrong.

Take SM65 for example, he spends a fair chunk of his days lurking around the boundary during training sessions and he gets his gossip wrong often.

Think about it, would anyone from tbe inner sanctom reveal sensitive info to a training watcher who is likely to relay the info on the footy social to big note themselves.

In the ole days training watchers were called linamnent sniffers and thats no disrespect, it's what makes footy clubs at every level.
