**** off Murphy, you...
Well done to this guy on getting to the 100 game milestone. Hopefully many more in the red, white and black.
I can clearly remember thinking in his fourth game against Geelong in 2010 that he was going to be something special. Bobbed up and kicked 3 really classy, important goals.
Hopefully...
Credit to this guy, he is one of our better appointments in the past few years (Finnis aside).
The most important thing for a coach is to have the players on side and willing to play for you, and the game against the bulldogs showed that the Saints players are absolutely buying into what Richo...
I'll kick it off with something positive:
Anyone else think we'll look back at last years draft as our best ever? Paddy, Lonie, Sinclair with Goddard and McKenzie to come. Good signs already from Lonie and Sinclair, Paddy getting a good run of games and we haven't seen what Hugh or Daniel can...
So... how are we going to fit Joey in?
Possible Outs: Saad (concussion), ???
Possible Ins: Montagna, Minchington (4 goals), McCartin (4 goals), Templeton (4 goals, 29 disp), McKenzie, Acres
I think we go as close to unchanged as possible.
Out: Saad (inj)
In: Joey
Geeze, there's still some...
Thought it would be easier to keep all the updates on the current injury list in one thread like we did last year.
Edit: As of July 21st:
Nick Riewoldt - Calf Laceration (Test)
Suffered a cut to his calf on Sunday and will be tested ahead of round 17.
Jack Billings - Shin (4-5 weeks)
Will be...
One thing that was very evident tonight was that we still have massive defensive holes, and KPP issues in general. If Gwilt is not only best 22, but also has to play CHB then we are struggling big time. Obviously the idea last year was to grab Bruce to do that job but given our KPF issues, he's...
**** yeah, how good was that? Undoubtedly the best we've played all year and definitely the way Richo has wanted us to play - the tackling and, forward pressure especially, was fantastic. It was almost like we swapped jumpers pre-game with Freo.
Never, ever play Savage in the forward pocket...
We haven't started the season 2-0 since 2010! Great win by the boys
Good:
- Roo is a champion. Enough said
- Delaney thoroughly beat Patton. Great addition to our defensive structures and allows Dempster to play loose/second man up
- Hickey's best game in his short career. Ben McEvoy who?
- Eli...
Thought it was worth starting a new thread to note other posters opinions on the new interchange cap rule that the AFL have announced today, and the potential affect it will have on the side.
The rotations will be capped at 120 per game, with no specific restrictions per quarter. Apparently...
I think we should keep the changes as minimal as possible and back the current team in. So i'd rather see changes come from guys who have really been under-performing for a good few weeks now (Stanley, maybe TDL) or forced changes (Roberton - concussion, Armo got a hard knock).
Butcher got a...
