Got the plumber out (couple of rooms flooded) as the pipes are mostly collapsed and it will cost us around 7k to dig everything and replace them. House is 50 years old.
Can I go through my home and contents insurance to make a claim for this particular thing? Or am I going to have to fork out...
I would be looking like at splitting 8 into 2 mid to late teens. We need to look at getting a developing key defender and another developing forward.
Use pick 7 on Smilie (imo best mid) and the other 2 for needs which is both book ends. We have Keelor and Heath who should be able to fill for a...
Pick 7 and 8 are giving me Clark and Coffield vibes!
Smille is my pick of the bunch and we could get him at 7. I'd try and grab 2 teens for pick 8 and target a CB with one and best available.
Why we play Seb Ross week in week out I will never know. Can't crack more than a dozen disposals even when played through the middle or across half back.
More than happy to see Garcia and Hastie come in for Jones and Ross
Arie should be a starter over Bonner who should be in the VFL
Season...
If we have any integrity in selections, then Seb Ross needs to he dropped.
Over the last month he has been one of our worse players. I've been watching him closely and he barely get the ball more than half a dozen times in the first half and then pads the stat's when the game is already over to...
Wouldn't mind Shiel in for Billings. Need to use the cap and it's extra on ball cover that we need.
We wouldn't lose anything as both have 2 years roughly on same money, we just get the done to cover 200 odd and it equals Billings contract.
My 2c
Tassie coming into the comp in a few years which will comprise the cr@p out of the talent pool. As much as I would love Oliver we are not a chance at winning the GF with the aging midfield of Crouch/Steele/Sinclair etc.
We need to invest in quality Mids that are kids so that we peak at...
We should retain Coff and try him out as a Mid to see if he can make it. Have already enough players that can play that intercepting defender role.
If he wants a fresh start then fine, use that pick to get Henry.
The problem starts with the leaders
Steele
Sinclair
Ross
Membrey
Wilkie
Only one of them played well and that was Steele. The others sh!t the bed and played their worse games of the season all at once.
Reputations are made is finals, no point being AA when you get shown up on the big stage.
Let's see if this team has grown a pair under Ross. Last 5 years every season defying game we have absolutely sh!t the bed big time with our pea heart effort and the way we have crumbled under pressure.
We will find out a lot on who our real leaders are tonight when everything is on the line.
One issue forever and a day is our midfield. Same 3 players have been the issue last 4 years. Why would anything change now.
What I want to see first bounce is Marshall, Clark, Windhager and Owen's starting.
Steele, Crouch and whoever else can be the supporting crew.
Definition of insanity...
Stop Taranto and we are already 50% there. Stop Bolton as well and we are 75% there.
Taranto has averaged 30 plus and 2 or 3 goals in the last month or so. He has been carrying the whole side.
Windhager step right up lad.
Was at the game and my observations are as below
1. We played Sharman on the wing pretty much the whole game. He is not a winger and stop trying to turn him into one. He is a specialist leading forward ala Fritch so play him like one or not at all.
2. Structure around the ball, we seem to be...
I hope Bytel stays in - Ross in his press conference said that after half time he was put on Brayshaw to clamp him down and imo i didnt notice him at all having an impact who has been best on 3 out of 4 times Ross said.
What Bytel is good at that our other genuine mids lack is that every time...
With Membrey out for a month we need to play Sharman (need to be played every game up forward imo)
Have Campbell as our emergency if Marshall needs support or if one of the other forwards don't fire
Blind Freddy can see this and i hope this coaching panel can as well because match committee...
Not great news but that's life.
We saw a glimpse of what Cooper Sharman can do when given the task to be the number one forward.
My forward line up would be
HF: Wood Membrey Higgins
FF: Gresham Sharman Butler
If we bomb the ball long it would not have matter if King was there see exhibit...
About bloody time!
I've been harping on about this for 3 years straight now. He either dominates the Wing or is back at Sandy. I don't want to see him anywhere near the backing.
Only other role I can seeing him potentially playing is the one that Billings was destined to before his career...
We are never going to get the real answer from the review. It's just an overview on all the things that they have already discussed in the press conferences.
I've been saying this for a decade now, but when I look at our squad compared to others it seems like it's always men against boys. Our...
No sympathy for any of the coaches or players that lose their job. This happens to thousands of people in the every day world. The only difference is its not reported on.
This is an elite level environment were you are judged on your output and results. If you don't like the pressure then looks...
Let's get the show on the road
Few players should be returning over the next few days.
Reports, pics and who is burning up the track content all in one place.
I've haven't been this emotional regarding the saints since Roo and Hayes retired.
We have well and truly turned the corner. I would be very very surprised if our membership doesn't grow by at least 5K even with our shit season.
This is the first time to me anyways that it feels like we are a...
