The big change in 2011 was Leon to the backline.
What do people think will be some major changes to the structure with Buckley at the helm??
M.Clarke...most seem to think he is a HB option, but I think he could be used in the middle or even across HF.
Harry to the wing?
Maxwell or...
Back at training and already mention that L.Davis is training with the defenders....
So time for a bit of a 'left-field' team thread........ie some solid structural changes to our premiership team of 2010......I highly doubt we will go with the exact same structure in 2011.....so time to...
Can this bloke become a better version of L.Brown??
He has one of the best tanks on our list, is a massive man mountain and doesn't mind using his weight.
Could he be the perfect pinch hitting ruckman cum forward if the anvil loses touch and or form??
As listed he is 1cm shorter and 1kg...
Bruce mentioned on the coverage that the Saints have won just 2 out of their last 12 quarters of football!
Gee, Roo better come back quick smart.....are they missing any other players at all???
Is it time to pull a move out of the hat and play Max as a tagger again, to take Goddard all over the ground?
Similar to the match up on S.Thompson in the final last year??
Travelling to the US in a couple of months
Looking for info regarding cheap airlines, websites etc. to find the best air fares for travel within the US
All info muchly appreciated
Goodes looms as the big danger man for us on Saturday, he has been good in both of the games against us this year. Who can we put on him who can play a purely negative role and get under his skin??
Harry couldn't keep up
Clement doesn't have the motor
Maxwell would struggle to run with him...
Any inside news regarding the great man??
Surely he has to test out his hamstring sooner rather than later, to see if it will stand up to a game of footy.
Could we see a surprise inclusion this week or next??
Will the loser of this game be exposed as pretenders??
If West Coast lose it will mean they have lost to 4 teams sitting in the eight
Geelong
Hawthorn
Essendon
Adelaide
are they just flat track bullies???
If Adelaide lose it will mean they have lost to 4 teams sitting in the eight...
Slug Mitchell was asked his opinion on the brownlow, his reply was that he doesn't watch enough footy to have that accurate an answer.
Yet at the end of the year he will cast a vote for the players MVP award, which many people seem to think should be held in a higher esteem..........even...
Herald Sun gave B.Harris 2 votes?? They rated him as the 4th best player on the ground...........yet A.Rocca took 6 contested marks against him, probably the most contested marks by one player all season, if A.Rocca kicked straight he would have been best on ground by a fair margin
yet...
Any body else bloody sick of em????
Class again rose to the top, Judd & Kerr we brilliant, but apart from them we did well. Signs that Pendles and Thomas have that something special, we need them to develop into guns who will finish teams off.
what an absolute champion
has he ever played a game where he hasn't ended up with bandages on his head??
great win for the sainters tonight, plenty of very good signs....kosi and X the standouts for mine
Although losing Taz takes away a fair bit from our forward line it still looks pretty good going forward.
A.Rocca, the big power KP player. Had a good return year from a serious injury, i think he will build on last year and be able to carry his early good form through an entire season. He...
Was evident that the pies midfield aint as strong as the real challengers for the flag.
The game has evolved into a run and carry game, with less contests then five years ago. Yet our midfield this year was largely the same as it was five years ago.
Buckley, Burns, Licuria, Holland...
interesting incident this one.
couple of weeks prior monty was flying in off the line picking blokes off at the centre bounce.
today both players stormed in from outside the square, holland heading for monty, monty heading for obree it looked like.
holland got him first, most likely...
was revealed last night by G.Lyon, D.Cometti that there is a "Clement Factor" that other sides have to deal with when playing Collingwood.
Poor B.Ebert had to deal with the "Clement Factor" in the second half.
Dropping marks when under no physical pressure but not being mentally strong...
Tonight harvs had a sitter, bout 40m out when the saints needed a goal.......dermie said that harvs would be about the last saints player you would want to take the kick
Dwayne pipe also commented that for over 300 games he has been missing those type of shots and hasn't kicked enough goals...
Is he actually a left footer??
kicked to pearlers on the left that got the pies going
perhaps he should scrap his more comfortable but rubbish right foot & kick with his less natural but more effective right foot.
another game in which the cheese was a big contributor in getting the...
a question to any regualr Willi watchers
Q. has Brent ever had a solid run in the ruck??
it seems to me that we keep trying to groom him as a key forward - key back............yet could he be a cinderella story as a bang crash big bodied ruckman??
he is listed as 198cm which is taller...
BOTTENS was brilliant today for the catters, very strong hands up forward
reckon u have finally found ur forward structure
BOTTENS, Mooney, N.Ablett the three talls
kingsley should go when S.Johnson comes back
hope u can steal the saints spot in the eight
Go BOTTENS & the catters
Good on sheeds
coming out and declaring they will pick up the best out of contract player going around, he realises that the dons are the wrost team in the league.
even carlton wouldn't come out and say that after rnd 10!!
