What really pisses ya off watching the Saints, is the sheer change in form. They've gone from absolutely shithouse, copping some massive beatings, to suddenly coming out and thumping one of the best sides in the comp away from home.

Why do we never do anything like that?

Feels like we're always just cruising in 3rd gear, never quite flying, never quite shit. We're consistent but in a way that almost deflates confidence. We never quite do anything amazing to build our confidence, but also never completely fail. I want to see us have an out of the box win every now and then FFS. Give me something to get excited about.

 

[Contested Marx]

Are you really wanting us to lose next week?

there's your exhibit A, I guess

someone who can arguably be as dopey as you

 

[all seeing eye]

Pure accident no suspension. Hayes was beaten by Knolls today, needs a few more kgs yet. Ladhams will come in for Marshall.

is an absolute gun. We have our hands full next week - not confident at all.

Ladhams will be fodder for Ryder

Ryder and Marshall is the difference in their form.

 

[PA88]

We won't get close to missing the 8 but if we did or we dropped to 7th or 8th, regardless of the injuries, Richardson will be under siege with unpleasant messages.

Saints can beat us though. We can't let this game slip.

Choice between Ladhams or Marshall, as the tall forward.

An old Ryder had one of the best games of his career when we pitted Ladhams against him.

 

[chiwigi]

Look, we won't win a flag under Ken so what's the point?
The sooner he goes the better.

Port losing next week will not make that happen.
Port not making finals won’t make that happen either.

So it’s a ****ing stupid thing to wish for.

Yea I know but he'll be used as a chop out and he's ordinary in ruck.

 

[Byrons Firen]

If the Saints cut off our switch and corridor kicks and we persist with Ken's trademark stodge ball we'll be in trouble.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Here's the thing with Ladhams, he's not a good enough ruck or forward at AFL level and until that changes, he has no place in the AFL side.

 

[FishingRick04]

I’m trying to understand your value?

what are you actually positioning? Everything’s okay whiners shut up? Let Ken play out his year 2023 contract because he’s done okay?

I’d live us to go undefeated

That means Marshall plays, everyones whippng boy at the moment.

Huh, do you realise why I posted that gif, maybe question the post I was responding too!!

A lot of fuss has been made about Hayes but he has been out bodied by some fairly average snafl ruckmen in the last few weeks and I am of the opinion he may need more time at the Maggies before he is ready for a gig against the AFL's big boys.

I dunno mate , if we miss finals surely that's it?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I missed the Hawks v Freo game this arvo. Were there any sack Clarko callers on radio after the game after Freo had their biggest win against the Hawks??

 

[PAFC66]

That's it
Let's be realistic here. Obviously I want us to win everything but if we lose I want it to hit home with a bang and the pressure is too much for them not to move him on

Why would there be?

 

[chiwigi]

He won’t miss finals and he certainly won’t be sacked this year.

Also as a result of that game

Port has now beaten two top 8 opponents.

Just need to cheer really hard for Gold Coast tomorrow.
