6. The Jones Boy (6.13 / 2) << Weighted Average Score / Ranking 5. Clarry (6.23 / 1) 4. Vince (4.78 / 3) 3. Hulk (4.63 / 4) 2. Stretch (4.50 / 5) 1. Viney (4.45 / 6)

He also moved up the field with the press and pressured/contested well at times Sku. Even attempted a pack mark from behind at one point bringing ball to ground. Not really his role but the other Keys were out of position a little and he read ball better. Something i haven't sen alot of. Best all round game i've seen from him in a while

COOL HAND CLARRY!!!

Has anyone seen an old garbage lid around somewhere? Hard to find these days ?

Cant argue with that Ralph. I said before this match i havent seen an MFC side control a match with deliberate hit up short passing for an entire season in my whole time watching. Only one match but an excellent start. Need to follow up next week though.

Peders

My shout! A beer i mean

Now that made me laugh

Thanks to Watts in the ruck and Jonesy everywhere!

Ted i doubt a Brazilian would be appropriate at SWY's age thank you...oh wait

Mr Vince & Lewis lead the fightback off HB in that 2nd quarter. The Lewis get is priceless for this club. Both in fact.

Typical [censored] biased Shitihad one way umpiring!

[censored] free kick to Clarry!!!

Similarities to a very young Fyfe? Shows much promise. Understand the selection if he's showing that sort of form on the track. Reads play well with burst of speed and nice reach for his height also. Can play small/tall and nice closing speed for the run down tackle. Might add to forward pressure when played up front?

No Peds so I would run Weids through there myself. Watts is our silk, our Burgoyne without the run & carry. Wouldn't play/risk a Burgoyne type in this role and same applies to JW. Better used/positioned, and more damaging, elsewhere. Could get a massive corky also. Not worth it this early in the season

I have to disagree with the "make space" aspect Big Red. I find Weids often running into the potential running lanes of Hogan and also taking up the space in front of him as well, dragging his opponent into the contest instead of away from. He might not be contesting the same ball very often as you say but IMO is limiting Hogan's potential to impact more often. I also can't agree with you re Maxy/Spencil. If anything they take a little pressure and focus away from Hogan when resting forward as they are a legit marking target and are viable pack/overhead marking options, whereas Weids isn't at this point. Having said that I wouldn't play both Maxy & Spencil at Shitihad. Peds a better option at this venue than Spencil/Weids for mine.

Count me in. That's a poor selection on paper IMO. Peds all the way at this point at Shitihad. Weids is a no impact player and at least a season away from AFL. Also allows the Saints to double (or even triple) team Hogan more often. Hopefully Weids is the decoy and we hit Watts up a heck of a lot, assuming he plays a mostly forward role. As Demonlad said, games are often won/lost at selection table. This one is costly IMO and makes things that much harder. Happy to call this an early season faux pas that may cost us the match ?

Think the panel is quite worried about the Saints ability to spread. Tyson probably the most vulnerable here of all the mids. Searching for additional closing speed with that selection. I don't know a thing about Hannan so the FD must be seeing something on the training track....including speed over first 10 meters or so.

I saw that!

? I am usually a terrible judge of these things AW so who knows! Let's hope so

I hear you AW. Consider me scarred from so many years in the wilderness. If any team were to add to that outlier! Why 14 is a must in our case! I also truly believe this will be one of the most even seasons. 14 shld mean we aren't in the hands of a flukey % to get us over the line

One of the most even seasons beckons, albeit GWS effectively the Winx standout and of course one or two lagging at the bottom to hold up the rest. 13 wins for 9th or we might scrape in with that if the cards fall in our favour. 14 is a slim possibility for finals but I wouldn't put any hard earned on it. Significant Injuries, or lack thereof, to play a key role in each team's fate here as always. A match fit and in form Kent, Jeffy and JW crucial to ours IMO lead by our 3 hard nuts in the middle .... JL, JV and THE Captain! Hoping Mr Lewis brings some of that unsociable football flavour across! Time to put our big boy pants on. Outside of a flock of injuries this is the year we need to step up. Finals the minimum pass mark.

Not even if they were 3 D sunnies? Those tears would be like a bursting damn OD, even from the other side! ?

Write to the board and ask to switch the members to southern stand OD! How much would 35,000 pairs of red & blue sunglasses cost I wonder? ?
