  1. That's the problem when players try and "guide it through". They don't go through straight and kick 40/50m. It doesn't matter if the ball goes back 20m over the line. Just kick through the shot whatever the distance. Guiding is not kicking!!
  2. Well written KITP and Dr Gonzo. I have for the last 3/4 years posted this reason as outlined by Gary Pert for no decisions yet on our base for facilities. But the level of impatient posting on D/L completely disregarding these factors is completely over the top and ignoring the real reasons. I hope now the rebel rousers put their posts on the back burner and take notice. Simply their enthusiasm whole meaning well is completely misguided and time is needed to choose the right location . We will only get ONE chance to succeed and the scatterbrain comments on this topic are mostly waste of time and any breath. Contrary to all opinion both Kate and Perty have delivered on 8/9 out of 10 ticks on our strategy Plan and I believe they will deliver in their own time a far better result than the restless and cynical left field dreamers who have no idea of how delicate a decision this base is for the future of our Club.
  3. Sorry Fr-ap yes May have misconstrued you. Possibly Orion. Profuse Apologies.
  4. Reslly OD that's an interesting prediction. What if it's 34 vs Tigers also?
  5. Where the old Moorabbin aground was!!! FGoodnes sake keep up with trends Saints have hosted our AFLW team there're for3 years.
  6. Flag 2021 I returned a call from M'ship today and after solving my very easy problems ie no parcel yet, 3 and 4 card memberships turned into as I had 6 Clarry $13 mships last year. All good as well am happy with 3 mships. My Full home membership for one card with GFG and 2 others I can use for other games or give to a friend. And I pay for each month and all 3 are under the requested CARD membership available at some entry points into the MCG. I mentioned your issues and he suggested you ring 9652 11 but not 55 but 92 and a Mship officer (him) will attend to your problems of Yours and your 3 grandkids tickets. Won't say my name and he Asked you to call him but for me to not say his name but he is very efficient. Good Luck.
  7. Dear fr-ap After your further negative comments about some of our players ( JVR and other Casey premiership players) I trust that as all you did was "write them off" as potential improvements for our 2023 team on the basis of your assessment ( underwhelming to say the least) I hope you attend this game to update your 2023 knowledge on their IMPROVeMENT as described by absolute majority of our very dedicated and knowledgeable track watchers since the start of pre season back in November. Oh and we have Grundy Hunter and Schache all of whom will bring their 2019 form with no improvement either to contribute to our generally acknowledged better list in 2023 by most fans and journos assessing AFL 2023. I hope you are presently surprised and really who cares whether the Saints have improved or gone backwards in 2023. They won't be in the top4 fighting for a 14th Flag come September unless Ross the Boss performs a modern miracle with their prolific list of B and C graders who play with Steele Gresham and King when he is available. Go Dees in 2023.
  8. Given that we have lost Gibbo our media coverage has been quite satisfactory.
  9. That's correct BBB the Tigers game is on Fox/Kayo and a real live stream would need to be done by the Club for this Saints game to be on TV.
  10. Yes a top four finish in 2023 would set us up for a repeat of 2021. We are primed with a wonderful list of players and need only normal luck to win another flag this year. I am sure our players are determined to make every post a winner this year.
  11. The history does not matter. It's what is logical in total premierships in a competition. You can't manufacture flags and hand them around like cream cakes at a child's birthday party.
  12. That was an unexpected ovccurrence and bad judgement by our Coaches. Harry s not ready quite yet at Jay time and nerves overcame him! We have seen the glorious result. No 35 a fan favourite.
  13. That's why I believe we can play BBB and Tmac and JVR and Fritta plus 2 smalls say Kossie and/or Chandler ANB Spargo. JVR is another Fritta style player as well as a KP competitor. Lucky US.
  14. Different roles for different players!!!! Easy don't be so tunnel visioned with plans need to be flexible Goody especially.
  15. Yes get him to training tomorrow morning at Goschs. Will put a rocket up our heroic 2021 stars underperforming half forwards of last year. Also Chandler needs to be given an opportunity to se if he can make it and kick goals as well as put pressure on defences with tackling and hard won contests.
  16. I would say thanks to both and call up Quinton Narkle (for training tomorrow morning who tried at Punt Rd) who was beaten by KB a country full forward .
  17. For Round 1 maybe. SONS has made no comment on his team without Grundy so I believe he just forgot to put him in other wise I would like him to justify why not ?
  18. Funny Bowey was not too light nor Robbie Flower. Jefferson is the only player that fans use this excuse why he won't get an opportunity. I am saying that I won't be surprised if Jeffo shows the skulls and ability to kick goals at Casey a half forward role would suit him at this stage of his careeer. If you read my post and take into account Jeffo has already put on weight since we drafted him it's not impossible if he shows hisability. Same with Howes and Laurie and Woey and Smith snd McVee. Weight is important but not every player has to become his ideal weight to break into an AFL team. Some players have got other positives that out way physical strength. Letswait and see we have a fascinating watch on who will put themselves out there other than JVR to make a debut in 2023.
  19. I have a premonition that Jefferson will debut for us later in the season as a half forward flanker where he can use his pace marking and speed and height plus goal sense. He won't replace JVR who will still be holding his place but ANB Spargo and Harmesy might all be possible to give him his chance. He won't be asked to take on 195 cm giants or 95/100 kg KPP but half back flankers of the intercept type. All those supporters saying he is too light will realise that with his skill set and pace and agility he will have the footy smarts to match it with the smaller backs in most sides. Will also Bob up in the forward pocket to kick some goals as well. Imagine JVR Fritta Jefferson and Kossie trying to keep them quiet plus our other forwards. These four are all genuine match winners and goal scorers!!
  20. Nothing has changed with Adams not available it still makes their defence worse. I am commenting and posting an opinion on the Lions defence after watching it for the last 4 years since they returned to the Finals. Nothing other than Coleman in the team has solved their style of defence. He is a very good disposer rather like Salem for us.
  21. Could be but I watch them when not down fir Dees games and they are lethal at home. Yes Hipwood will be big this year as he will be fully fit after 2021 injury ( same as Tommo will surprise us all this year for same reason). Ran away from Lever in that last Quarter in the Demi and moved as he had not for 2 years. Will be his best year yet.
  22. Probably forgot!!! Smithy is up for his 70 th year of coaching!!!
  23. Harmes and ANB plus Hibbo if fit will survive but I would add Chandler. Hope he gets a spot early days along with an extended games program.
  24. Backline us still their Achilles heal. Mark my words unless they change (tweak perhaps) their method if defending it will still be opened up like we did to them 3 times last year.
  25. I think that you will find Judd has developed physically in the off season and is one of the 2021 recruits that has made improvements in his game. According to some track watchers and MFC officials.
