Problem with paying someone like Cornes to talk is he's got to keep stretching his limited imagination to come up with new ways to be controversial. No disrespect to Owens, McKenzie or Jones but they're not season jeopardising players to lose.

Three midfielders down when Steele is out, Bytel injured or not ready is nothing to sneeze at though. We still have to replace them.

Scans have also cleared Zak Jones of any hamstring injury following a complaint which kept him out of the final quarter.

Jones will undergo a number of tests at training this week to determine his availability for this week’s match against Essendon in the second annual Spud’s Game: Time 2 Talk.

That's a good piece of luck injury wise.

Interesting. Was it just hamstring “awareness” then?
They were being super cautious? A pity because losing him was the straw that broke the camels back.
 
CH9 sport had Jack Steele on

Good chance for Swans game

Showed Jones training, would think he is a good chance to play
 
Steele on 360 tomorrow night

Probably. With his history, probably a good move. Stays out, major tear, out for 4 or 5 weeks.
We are skinny with mids, no Steele, no Owens, Windhager dropping off, Bytel injured, Byrnes and Clark underdone.

The Pies have a pretty impressive game style which should take them pretty far eventually but we’ll see how they go after the new coach/no pressure honeymoon period. I think we were hit with an ambush that we weren’t ready for in round 1. High pressure fast ball movement caught us off guard big time.

First game of the year always throws up anomalies, that said, I wouldn't be too confident playing them now either. They're doing well...damn them to hell.

Caro just said on Footy Classified that Ratts will be getting a TWO year deal in the next couple of weeks.
Common sense decision - Happy with that.

What's going to happen to Rutts after his team is smashed yet again?

The whole coaching team , management and recruiters need cleaning out - after Sheedy had his comments about how the AFL should apologize for the drug saga it just confirmed they have learnt nothing.
Bring in coaches from different clubs and attempt to get some heart back into the club.
 
St Kilda

Record: 8 wins, 3 losses
Ladder position: 4th

What’s working: On the eve of the season, with external expectations low, Saints coach Brett Ratten said the team would be a more resilient outfit in 2022 after addressing many issues midway through last season. He has been proved right. The team bounced back from a poor season-opener against Collingwood and then overcame the disappointment of losing to Port Adelaide in Cairns. The Saints found a way to beat Adelaide when challenged and destroyed Geelong in 20 minutes of brilliant football when they looked in trouble. Their back line is not star-studded, but it has gelled with only Melbourne and Fremantle conceding fewer points. St Kilda are ranked third for scores from forward-half intercepts and running defenders Brad Hill and Jack Sinclair have been outstanding. They have also had a reasonable run with injuries after being hammered in 2021. Max King is the one player in the competition most clubs would love to have and their first three draft picks this season can all play.

What’s not: Jack Steele’s shoulder injury was a setback while concussions to Jack Higgins are also of concern. They remain a fair way off Melbourne, having lost to them by 38 points, but they are well and truly in the fight for a top four spot if Paddy Ryder remains fit and continues to support Rowan Marshall. Jack Billings is also battling for a spot, which is a good sign for the Saints in one way, but a player of his talent could add to their midfield mix if they can get him back in form.

Surprise packet: Sinclair and Callum Wilkie have been outstanding, but no Saints supporters are surprised they have continued their good form into this season. Daniel McKenzie deserves credit for his efforts after he looked unlikely to cement a spot in the team while Hill was the whipping boy this time last season but has been the Saints’ best player in the past fortnight. He had a big pre-season and is showing his talent, but the biggest surprise has been former Roo Mason Wood, who has revitalised his career on the wing.

The run home: Eight of their final 11 matches are against teams who sit alongside the Saints in the top eight at the midway point of the season. That means the Saints will have earned a spot if they make the finals and be good enough to compete in September as they meet the Lions and Sydney twice as well as the Western Bulldogs, Carlton, Fremantle and Geelong. - Peter Ryan

Not enough love for this man. Been lucky enough to hang out with him a few times. A real gentleman. Then you look at twits like De Goey and see the rapid decline of our species.

Do we celebrate our people enough? Do we educate our children about our stars of yesteryear? I don't know. Maybe before home matches and/or at half time there could be a different history lesson on the big screens... celebrate a past star/staff each time.

I think that's a great idea! Just a short cameo of past players.
