Saints are now 6-3.   The difference in tactical nous between Ratten and Goodwin is huge.

They’ve certainly left us for dead as a club.

Very sad, but full credit to St Kilda.

They brought in ready made players in Ryder, Howard, Hill, Jones & Butler over the off-season, all of whom had an instant impact and have played a big part in getting them to where they are now.

That's not tactical nous.

Was very frustrating last night watching Nik Nak dominate the taps the way Gawny does but it actually being an advantage to them

he also took possession of the ball on many occasions and dealt with it in a manner that benefitted his team.

Have always wondered why Gawn does not do the same as an occasional tactic.

No, its good recruiting. 

What he does on game day is tactical nous.

Dear Gil,

I've watched (too) many games on TV recently and I have no idea when holding the ball frees will be paid or not paid.  Please explain.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Foory Fan

I have appointed an inquiry to consider this issue. It would not be appropriate for me to comment publicly in advance of that inquiry.

Respectfully Yours

Serong is already having an impact on games this early into his career. Looks a future gun mid/forward. Another one missed *sigh*

We could make a premiership team on players we've passed on to pick others.

True. Maybe our picks just don’t develop because of the rotten culture they are put in?

In these bleak times, we can still take enjoyment from Collingwood losing a match they should have won.

While it is always good to see the Colliewobbles lose, it means Freo join us on 12 points. A draw would have been better. Haha

I backed them, which made them beating the pies even sweeter

They were very impressive Freo. Loved the fight and grit attitude they showed throughout the game.

They were ferocious. Interesting tactical battle given longmuire had lot to do with the pies defensive systems

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
