He mentions this long journey on multiple occasions. Even towards the end of last season with a flag to play for he says this is the start of a long journey. Wtf is that? It’s the end of the season and there’s a flag to play for, the head coach is talking long journeys and learning. Strange thing to say for a team in a premiership window. Ross Lyon has taken worse sides to grand finals.

You don’t need a process to decide who the best candidate is when you have a multiple grand final coach available. Insulting to even request such a thing. The Saints did whatever it took to get the best man for the job.

Im curious how the boss would have time to post on BF?

I’m hearing Pitto could be a late in

cough

 

[Countryblueswitnotattoos]

Yes- Scott said that there will be one more out along with Stewart. They just won't say yet.

I saw Scott's comments. Is this legal?
ie. Can a club lodge a team which includes a player they have already ruled out? Surely there are rules in place to ensure some sort of integrity of the sport.

Sun has been shining for a while now. Reckon the ground should have dried out nicely by tonight.

If it's for Martin we will be extremely top heavy.

Don't think all of pitto, tdk, jsos, mckay and curnow works well at all.

Don't think a land of the Giants strategy has worked for anyone in the modern era.

Did he say that before or after the teams were released ?

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Hearing Pitto in, Motlop to CHF to reprise the Betts role.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

I’m also hearing Pitto is in (read it on BigFooty (this thread))

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Hearing Pitto in, Motlop to CHF to reprise the Betts role.

Perfect...... kick it straight on top of Motts's head from every rushed centre clearance kick. What could go wrong....??

 

[kingkingston]

I'm hearing Pitto is in................his clothes

 

[Juice030103]

Heard Matt Pavlich is a late in

 

[SirSanchez]

Why is everyone suggesting bad weather, it’s bloody beautiful and perfect weather with extreme low chance of rain, maybe a drop or 3, but that’s it

Yep has now turned into a Lovely day was bloody horrendous this morning!

Game on!

 

[Wickzki]

Sick of playing underdone players.

If you're not in the top 5-10 players at the club... then when you're coming back from injury, you go through the 2nds to build form, fitness and confidence.

Guys like Walsh and Cripps are better at 80% than most at 100%. But outside of those types, we just can't carry passengers.

Especially someone with a recurring injury like Jack and his calves from Hell. You're literally begging for him to both play poor and succumb to reinjury.

If they get this with Pittonet why can't they with others?

 

[carlton_99]

Sub counts as a game. Sub comes from the emergency list

Yeh but doubt they make a debutant the sub. Guess we will see

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Toby green would be close

Could you name all the non KPF and non 3rd talls forwards that average 20+ disposals and more than a goal a game

Will make it easy for you, 1 player did it in 2022, Dylan Moore

[JustaBattler]

Pittonet in makes sense to me - frees up Jack to be a third tall and TDK to play more forward time and create mismatches- I'd like to see him stand at around the top of the arc for the centering kick or the kick down the guts - this was tried a few times last year to good effect.

 

[jimsta10]

my physio just called... told me Pitto's in!

 

[ESKIE]

Would be great to beat Geelong

 

[BlueJet]

Yeah, shallow. Lacking substance. The 'argument' has been debunked to death.

Not the thread for it, but SOS got plenty right, more than bringing two players into the club. Sure he got plenty wrong too, every list manager does.

Which by the way is another fallacy, assuming SOS was responsible for recruiting specific players. We do have recruiters, you know?

Whilst I understand the point you're making, he was head of department & a strong character to boot, there's no way he was delegating our drafting completely. His reaction to securing Stocker reflected someone deeply committed to this side of the role.
Whilst he's certainly not alone in missing on the occasional pick, as LM, he is/was also accountable for it.

my physio just called... told me Pitto's in!

Heard he arrived at work on #19 tram...

 

[ESKIE]

pitto just walked past and said esk I’m playing tonight

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

My tactics
Who ever Ratugolea is on, we need to isolate them.

 

[Revenant1965]

If Pitto in...
FWDs:
Motlop, McKay, Durdin
JSOS, Curnow, Owies/Fisher
TDK - Ruck/Fwd
Fisher to spend some midfield minutes.
Pitto or TDK or JSOS subbed later (for LOB for additional run later in game)
(?)

 

[Arr0w]

Will be great when we beat Geelong

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

I reckon they dont have the legs to keep up...move it fast and we'll win. no excuses.

Have you seen us play?
