We will win this not because we are on a roll or the Saints are not as good as us but because we now have players with better skills who are not mentally damaged.

To me there is still an element of lack of confidence if the mindset isn't right. And we are still prone to awful errors that lead to turnovers and help feed a poor mindset. We have improved, undoubtedly. But there will still be hiccups with this crew. 

 

 

Lotto numbers please..:unsure:

Just PM me ;)

One player wouldn't have made much difference child, back in your box you go. 

Another inside Mid which kinda means that you have options tpo use another player on the outside which is where we got smashed!

You don't mind calling me a child and if that is your response then put up a credible one yourself re selection oh oracle of the ages!!

Now just to show you what I mean, If IF we had of won many on this site would have said Jesse Hogan made the difference! As it was would St. Kilda have won without Reiwoldt?? I doubt it!

Food for thought Oracle I await your Response with interest

"The man with the child in his eyes"

also I note in your profile Jesse, that you are a female poster is that corect??

I am out of the country for the next two games AF so how does this grab you?

A win this week followed by a loss the following.

We can beat  GCS they have been devastated by injury and the Dogs have too much talent for us.

Realistic, but I reckon we might give them both a run for their money. You could argue the Dogs are hamstrung (pun intended) by injuries as well. As someone else mentioned, I'd say we're more likely to win the next two and then get run off our feet by a quicker Brisbane team.

We're very much on track for finals if we can win 2 of the next 3 though.

Sorry AF I find that hard to agree to. We are a ten win team this year you saw on Saturday that we can still be very ordinary.

We have a much improved list but still have a lot of wet behind the ears kids who need another couple of years before they propel us into finals games.

Please tell me who miraculously makes the transition to becoming an outside player because we brought in another inside player.

Your argument has merit if you say we should have brought in Billy Stretch as he is pure outside run but as we got smashed on the outside Oliver would not have been answer to that.

Brayshaw gets more outside ball than Oliver does ( and I'm not saying Brayshaw should have played either)

Agreed. But if we do get to the 12 game mark, judging by the tightness of the competition this year, that could get us in. And don't worry, I'm with you, we'll certainly have games that we lose where those younger players will run out of gas and our 'leaders' will fail to stand up.

Play Bernie HBF and release Lamumba upfield! Oliver plays as a mid!

Another option Hunt plays also as an outside runner upfield!! 

Plenty of options there!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
