  1. I’d agree with that assessment. You’d hope that he may offer more once his body matures. He maybe be serviceable after a year or two in the 2s.
  2. They were concerned about a rib injury.
  3. One of Tracs goals was as a beautiful rove in the F50. Get that clip and put on loop and lock Kozzy in the room with his eyes held open. He is caught out of position so many times it’s really concerning. He looks flat and his body language epitomises someone who knows they are significantly off the pace. He needs to be dropped for his own good to get some form in the 2s where he will slice them up.
  4. Yes very true, however they were 3 men down from the 1st half. We should have ripped them apart in the 4th Quarter.
  5. We are [censored]. Don’t care if we win. Saints are on their knees and we look second rate.
  6. If that was a saints player 100% free kick in the square.
  7. Kozzy is a liability get him off. Never thought I’d say that.
  8. Zane Cordy.
  9. He needs to be dropped. He is not impacting games and nobody is doing him any favours by keeping him in the seniors. I’d give him 2-3 weeks in the 2s just to get his mojo back.
  10. Hard to see the Saints keeping this intensity up for much longer. Especially with the sub made and the extra injury to Ross. Still we don’t look any good when the pressure is high on the ball.
  11. More like it. Stopped the hand balling and the game has changed.
  12. This is going to be embarrassing
  13. Poor poor poor.
  14. Gawn is playing soft
  15. Nervous AF. Lose this , lose top 4 and the pressure kicks in and a downward spiral we haven’t always been good at breaking out of.
  16. I honestly thought we did in Kozzy getting more mid minutes … but he’s been lost this year.
  17. The stats tell a different story. We should have beaten Geelong, GWS and Freo. The culprit was kicking accuracy. Trac is usually the player with the highest scoring involvements and he is still playing. We have Contested footy in all three of those games (I think) and outside the brain fart in the 4th at Kardinia we were dominant. IMO the issue is our forward mix and confidence in set shot kicking. Gawn at FF is not working and the sooner the coaching staff realise this and change it, the better. We have to be more mobile and something like BB at FF, JVR, Smith, Melksham, Kozzy and Chin are setup to do that. The solution however doesn’t stop there, the delivery is important and we have to honour short kicks into the 30-40m zone.
  18. 100% Oliver coming in wouldn’t have changed our forward connection or scoring conversion. Most teams can win without 1 of their stars. We have a team full of em. No excuses.
  19. Clearly was tendon all along.
  20. My view is that there was a hammy tendon involved and hence the longer recovery time.
  21. Gawndy the Great replied to Turner's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Clubs sniffing around Ginnivan. Doubtful it’s us but he would definitely add some flare.
  22. Which draft year are we looking at? 2024 or 2025?
  23. He is just frustrated. He wants to play but his body is holding him back. He knows the club is under huge pressure and he wants to help. Selwyn is just trying to keep him calm. I don’t know why anyone else can’t see that. He is only human.
  24. Overrated is not the right word but I know what you mean. They are both champions of our club and will go down in history, but I think they are not complete footballers as todays game demands. They tick all the boxes in contest, power, endurance but lack the finesse and game iq. That is what holds them back from being elevated to the next tier alongside the Ablett’s, Franklin etc.
  25. He has definitely been carrying something , we knew it was stood on already in pre season and the load of playing footy was probably slowing down recovery. They took a chance on him getting through the season and it didn’t pay off. Can’t really blame them. Think May I’m the 2021 GF. You win some and lose some.
