    List Mgmt. 2026 List management - pt.1

    Im just as frustrated, but I wouldnt be writing him off just yet. He loves the club and wants to improve, I think he is just one of those kids who cant play through injury niggles. When he gets a good run at it physically and can string games together he might surprise us. I dont think anyone...

    Whats with our obsession with half back flankers, now many do we need on one list?

    Are you playing Captain Obvious today? Everyone who watches the game knows how the midfield sets up, we see it 20-30 times a game. The reason Owens name was raised is his big strong aggressive attack on the ball, which we have lacked. Flanders is an accumulator, Garcia has been used in a...

    Perhaps when we get Macrae back things will change. ATM its about winning games, give Pou short spells but he is not up to entire games playing through the mids. Boxshall has had some spells through the middle and Clark at least provides clean ball to the outside runners. Boxshall like...

    If Im honest I have never thought he has looked a natural mid at any time in his career, even as a junior. He has the size and skills that he can develop into a midfielder, but his ball winning and inside play are not an instinctive game. To suggest he kept up with the Brisbane midfield is...

    List Mgmt. 2026 List management - pt.1

    Pou's lack of inside physicality worries me, particularly for a kid wanting to become a midfielder. I have said it before but he should be getting ripped by the club for the no look over the head handballs. Very few advantage the team, it looks like he doesnt want to take on tacklers, it looks...

    Exactly the AFL have become so obsessed with winning the battle against the NRL in the northern states, they have completely neglected other states. I dont know if it is just incompetence or corruption of both? You only have to read how the AFL exec's were involved in the cover up of the Sayers...

    Injury Max King's knee

    I agree as good as can be he is not going to be our 2026 saviour, he has simply missed too much footy. I cant believe others wanting him to be re-introduced straight back into the AFL side, that would put unecessary pressure on the kid. He should be eased back via the VFL and it might even be...

    I think we need two dangerous key forwards like all other top sides. At least then when King is on the boundary watching we will have a fall back. Sharman is not a key forward and it has been tough asking him and Owens to fit that bill. Sharman should be playing the Fritch role or similiar...

    Autopsy Round 3 - Saints v Lions

    Tauru has all the physical attributes but zero footy smarts at present. That should come with experience and development, but he is not ready to be the main go to it would kill his confidence.

    Autopsy Round 3 - Saints v Lions

    When Caminiti returns I think he will return to CHF, Sharman & Owens are simply not working. Even when King returns we still need another big tall making an impact forward. It has been mentioned by others before - but why not try Marshall in defence on the opposition resting talls. He is too...

    I think you are exactly right. They have finally realised that Sharman and Owens cant play the 1st or 2nd tall forward roles. Howard struggled with match fitness last weekend but he is no worse than Caminiti at FB. Its also raises concerns for Barrat the club obviously believe he is no where...

    Interesting: See new posts Conversation Saints Nation AU @SaintsNationAU St Kilda VFL has lodged paperwork to sign former Hawks defender Ethan Phillips, the club had interest in Phillips in the 2024 offseason and could see Phillips as a mid season draft option with an open list spot available

    Pou is *NOT* the next Bont

    I totally agree some of his defensive efforts and attack on the ball are 'little league' stuff. Why he gets so much midfield time is beyond me he has done nothing to earn it. This has always been an issue with Lyon's coaching his favourites can do no wrong and rarely get called out on things...
