Hanner's and Lenny behind the scenes as line coaches and tactics division isn't such a bad thing.

No deal. Being on field means I can’t just turn off the game when it’s gone to s**t.
When that happens, just fake an injury and we'll sub you off

If we can't turn up to beat teams we were supposed to beat during the course of the season, then why are they going to bother making an effort against Swans.

They seemed to step up last year once the mental pressure was off and we couldn't make finals. Probably win this just to show the fans how disappointed they should be.
Getting back to this weeks game, I am hoping Bytel makes it, and maybe give Jack Peris a taste of senior footy. We have'nt debuted a Jack for a while.

Surely Bytel gets a game finally given Crouch was suspended? Would also like to soo Connolly, Highmore etc. getting a game as season is over.
Yes and a 200 point loss.

Most important game of the season for our club.
Doesn't matter if you don't win the premiership, or break a league record... as long as you win the last game of the season.
Can't see us beating the Swans. King will probably kick a bag of goals because there is zero pressure. If we pause on that prospect for a moment and assume his flawed kicking action and mental fragility are permanent disabilities, then how can we improve as a team, is it time to see if Max can become a Ruck/defender rather than persist with him in the forward line any longer and risk losing another high DP, a big shout out to Paddy Mac.

Bytel warrants selection given recent form and he needs to be given a game...the other two I'm so not sure deserve it.

Oh come on. You can't be serious.
He'll work on it ( both the goal kicking and the psychology) and it'll improve. Maybe around the same time we have someone to give him a chop out and he doesn't have the weight of our forward 50 entries on him alone.
It did in the second half of last season - 28.6 or something similar. Maybe having Hayes there helped him out. Or Sharman.
Absolutely not. He's our gun forward for the next 10 years. We aren't destroying him in the ruck or down back because he's kicked 47.41 for the year or whatever it is. Give him time with Lloyd for 6 months until next season and see what happens.
Max King is a forward.
Wasn't Lloyd mentoring him before he arrived at the club and didn't he come to us with a technical flaw to his kicking action which was evident way back in 2020. Why would Lloyd be the answer. His goal kicking has cost us games that mattered on too many occasions now and the last one cost us a spot in the finals which suggest he has a mental fragility under pressure which just can't be accepted in an elite sporting comp.
His kicking is also effecting the rest of the team who work incredibly hard to give Max his shots on goal and when he misses the unmissable very early on in a game it just deflates the team because they know he's going to crumble even further as the game progresses as was the case against the Lions.
Sometimes you have to try different things and we will need a ruckman next year and he is a really good field kick so worth a try.

DRAFT NIGHT DRAMA: Tension builds as Saints try to do a deal
This time we're inside the inner sanctum of St Kilda on the night of the draft
From 2018 draft night -
Richo asked Max King ... "Where do you think you will be playing?" His response was up forward or on the Wing.
Gags response was a laugh ... "We didn't recruit a wingman mate"
Looks like he wants to play on the Wing at some stage and might feel a bit more comfortable on it ... so he gets his confidence back.
2.00 minutes onwards if you want to watch it.

Unless we recruit Max's brother Ben I can't see him playing anywhere else than up forward, he could possibly play CHF rather than full forward though.

Rekon Max has a bit of the Trav Cloke's about him - Contested marking beast but just gets into his own head with the 'easy' set shots. Get him out to CHF and start taking all his shots from 40m+ and I think he'll actually get better.
Membrey to play deep FF as his stop and prop marking action works better for our dump kicks.
Wood as the tall wingman that pushes forward to create mismatches.

Soooo…..
if Sydney smash us this weekend what are the chances we also enter the race for Clarkson???
I hate to break it to you, but assuming that Clarkson wants to coach in 2023, he will already have decided which club he will be at next year.
Cloke's technique was ****ed.
King has a couple of small flaws in his but they are a much easier problem to solve than Cloke's high and wide ball drop and huge hook kick.
King's mental fragility is worse than clokes especially when it matters.

Not sure Hayes helped him out as he wasn't even at the club , but yeah Cooper kicked 2 every game expect for when Max never played the last round and kicked 4
