EVEN BETTER IT WAS VIRGIN CLEARY

 

[Armoooo]

Have no issues with Sharman being developed into a long term Wood replacement.

We already know he's ok as a forward and a defender, but he has a long way to go from getting ahead of our other midsized and key position players.

On the wing, he's next cab off the rank and he'll still be spending time in the 50 arcs to work on his offensive and defensive games.

Wouldn't even think about delisting him at the moment.

The role that Wood is playing seems highly taxing, but pretty simple. Sharmans got plenty of time to work it out.

If anything, Hammers emergence probably takes the pressure off him a bit because we can just think of his as a project player for the time being.

FWIW, only the Gold Coast have a worse record in SA than us, and we're playing the only non-SA team to have a winning record there.

Nice work from the AFL.

That was the old Saints.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Membrey doesnt need to use his body to spoil.
He takes marks against their big bodies and kicks goals from the aforementioned marks.

Yeah but we weren’t winning when he did that. That was the old Saints.

The current list size sucks. Its horrible if you have to choose between a young guy who still holds promise, and older guy who is still playing good footy, or a gop who has been a loyal, but limited player for the club. Look at the remaining depth we had last week, and look at West Coast last year.

Unfortunately the grounds there were deemed unsuitable, the only game on a ground out of town is at Mount Barker.
And that ground is brand new.
Surprised they didn't look at the old Aami stadium. Maybe it's in disrepair?

The new Summit grounds at Mount Barker are fantastic, soccer pitches with artificial turf there too. Would’ve gone to that game since I live nearby but unfortunately I’ll be playing/coaching soccer 15 minutes down the road in Strathalbyn.

Not the AFLs fault that we’re tripe at the Oval, that’s on us. Besides, haven’t we won a couple recently during the covid years?

Maybe just covering his a*se.
How do they explain Wilkie then? 4 drafts unselected.

He looks right in Sharman tbh, kid is nowhere at the moment. Have you heard our guys talk about why they overlooked him that many times?

The old Saints.
Panic bomb out of defense.
If the ball doesn’t come back in Take an eternity to bomb it forward. If we still have it take another eternity giving the oppo plenty of leisurely time to flood back and then bomb it onto Kings head.
If he doesn’t catch it and we lose the ball then half heartedly stick a hand out in defense and sit back and watch the ball come back down again.
Rinse
Repeat
I’m a bit worried whether some of the returnees will be able to adjust to the new Saints disciplined frantic pressure style.
Anyhoo I trust Ross.

What’s gonna be on the channel 10 news tonight Sandra?????

 

[Cairnsman]

You’re completely clueless about footy so no, I would hate that. But if I ever needed guidance on how to get stains out of the couch that appear while the wife is at home and I’m at work, you’re definitely my go to.

how old are you, that's a very disrespectful thing to be saying about your wife, does she know you talk about her that way behind her back, might be time to grow up.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

Took all of 30 minutes for a Pies fan to call into Gerard on SEN and say we’ve played and beaten nobody and they are gonna do us by 10+ goals this week!

It’s officially Pies week

Even if we win this week we still haven’t beaten anyone!

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I think it’s time to change the official words to in rather than with.

 

[DougalHoward]

Yep if we beat Collingwood then they're nobodies that got beaten by sAiNt KiLDa

Shite, I always thought we seemed to have a good record in SA... maybe I'm still stuck in the 2005 finals series!

We did win two games in about 5 days back in 2020

Still haven't beaten anyone above us

 

[puppy_dog7]

Still haven't beaten anyone above us

Unfortunately we won’t be able to do that this year…

 

[Plugger35]

I'm sure if Collingwood lose to us the media will be quick to bring up their missing ruckmen as an excuse while ignoring all the players we are missing.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

 

[PoppedCorn]

Therefore the only conclusion to make is that Sharman is your new step dad.

Let's hope they get their famous ruckman back for the Grand Final then because Ross, Lenny, and BJ have #UnfinishedBusiness
