It seems like our development coaches are starting to really hit their straps. Is that Lenny?
But weāve now seen more than a couple go back to the reserves and come back noticeably sharpened.
Phillipou, Sharman, Butler, Membrey, Byrnes, Jones, and Caminiti to name a few.
In the midweek presser Ross was pressed about Owens getting a go in the middle, and he alluded to his forward role being the best use of his capabilities. He just needed to clunk more. The Boss was spot on the money.
But itās got me thinking that the coaching group are getting more and more players in roles that best utilise their strengths.
Sharman stamped a legitimate claim on another role today.

This is something that Clark is very good at too, but he obviously is nowhere near as quick as Jones.

Thereās always people like this when things arenāt going well . They should notice that other sides have good periods and bad periods too . Look at Richmond , a few years ago they were winning premierships and now they are on the bottom . Shit happens . Yes we arenāt a successful club but he knew that when he started following our team . Who knows what the future will be . Myself I just look to the future and when you see young players like the group we have now then you have hope . We may not win a premiership soon but there is always a chance and that what I will always hang on to . Iāve seen some terrible years with the Saints but I will always keep hoping . And judging by the people I see on here they believe the same as me . Just imagine how good that second premiership will be if we get it .

Cooper Sharman has stepped up with Kng out injured n the last few weeks . His marking has been superb and he is burning off defenders when he leads . Next season with a fit King plus Cooper and either the Hammer or Membrey suddenly we look a mess ch better side . Iāve been a big fan of Sharman but even I have amazed at his last few weeks . Then you also have Owenās , Pou , Higgins and Butler and things are looking better . I hope they give Alison another year as he seems to be just hitting his straps . I dont think heās going to be a big goal kicker but heās more like a bull like Hamil was .
And the best thing is all those Essendon fans I used to work with will be crying themselves to sleep tonight and it couldnāt happen to a better bunch of people, I hated everyone of them . I would like to swear at them but I donāt have their addresses and Iām not going to swear on here .

All this talk about being better without Max pissed me off . I can remember when they Saints won a few games without Locket so all the press jumped on we should trade him because we no longer needed him . What the forgot was all the games he won off his own boot . Now people are saying we should get rid of Max . The poor guy has had to suffer few a bunch of injuries. Give him a chance to get a good run of playing senior footy before you decide he needs to be traded .

Max is a good player, might become great.. but lets not start using plugger analogies, not sure I can count many games max has won off his own boot just yet
No need to get pissed off. My memory may be failing me, but has Max really won that many games off his own boot? He tore apart the Eagles once, I remember that.
We have a forward line without him, they function without him - when he was there this year everyone looked lost.
It doesn't have to be a matter of getting rid of him, it's more about how do we function WITH him. Being a one trick pony forwardline won't get us anywhere so we need to find a way to make it work.
Eating their sloppy steaks.
Great point. We didn't get credit for beating WC but you still have to play well to get the job done.
Today we saw why starting well is important. The team was up and about. Everything was positive and it spread through the team faster than Covid. You could tell everyone wanted to contribute and be a part of it.
No one was selfish. Whenever a player scored a goal you could see how happy they were for each other.
Yeah the Bombers weren't very good but maybe that's a result of our effort and pressure that made them look so bad.
Watched the game under pressure as we had to go out straight after the game. My Mrs nervous as she wanted me on good form. As it happened I was on extremely good form. Celebratory form.
What a win. Hard to categorise it. But the bits I took out. Sharman unbelievable. Caminiti going to be really something. Our core guys played well. Steele, Sinclair, Marshall l etc.
But the whipping boys had great games. Zac Jones. Great game. Bonner,ā¦some terrific defensive acts. Pretty good distribution. Really! Byrnes kept rolling. Others.
Only a shithouse Bombers? But we murdered them. Absolutely stuffed them out of sight. Godā¦.that feels good.
The āsupportersā that donāt think RTB and his coaches know what theyāre doing? Get stuffed. You belong with the Injectors supporters that chucked their scarves over the fence. Disgrace.
I have stood steadfast at some terrible games in the past as a proper supporter. To the bitter end of the siren. Days like this make it worthwhile.
Still like a good draft pick.

He said that last week at his presser as well. Would love more details on this.

Ahhh that simple, satisfying feeling waking up on a Sunday morning after a sensational Saints performance. 
To have all but ended the bombers season in the process, well that's just the cherry on top. 
And as for you Brad Scott,

They probably would these days, then upload it to TikTok. They're a pack of losers.
Who wants that cat Sheil after what we saw today.
Absolutely went missing when the heat was on.
Surely we can find someone better than that past it receiver?

And next year he's due $900k or a million bucks or something?
Seems an absurd waste of money.

20 years old.
3 years younger than Sharman and King.
How sweet was that kick from the boundary.
Here's something I didn't think I'd be saying a month ago. Jones, Membrey and Byrnes have all earned new contracts

Iām only guessing. But itās probably like any corporate environment type of survey.
- does your boss make you feel empowered
- Does your club make you want to come into work each day
- is your club clear in what success looks like for you
Etc etc.
Iād say one of two things has happened here.
Either they all absolutely love what Ross is doing.
Or
The large turnover we have had leading to the kids we have brought in - Know no different and this is an environment they enjoy.
The ones we have let go have felt somewhat different etc. But we are creating a culture that players want week by week etc.

No.
Dont let some late season enjoyment change your mind on what needs to be done.
My opinion only.
But I thought he was probably their best.
2.0 from 19 touches.
He wasnāt horrible and I donāt blame him for an entire side going missing with their season on the line and they kicked the first couple of the day.
