Round 3 - The Other 8 Games

[Roverjg]

good to see all the kids playing well
in other teams.

we Are paying Grundy 900k, yes to much, but at east we aren’t paying brad hill 850k

He has been absolutely shocking.... I haven't sighted him after half time. On the other side Nik Cox has been very good and great kicking on both sides. Archie Perkins and the other young boy Jones have also been great. Not bad for boys who did not play last year.

Can confirm saints board is well worth a visit View attachment 1093083

They've locked their game day thread not even halfway into the final quarter

 

[nahnah]

Not sure why players like Crouch, Hannerbery, Jones were seen as good recruits

Hill

Higgins. A lot of rubbish

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Unbelievable list of dud/middling recruits at StKilda. And also unbelievably long list

Higgins
Membrey
Crouch
Carlisle
Jones
Howard (maybe I'm harsh there)
Hill
McKernan
Butler
Gresham
Hannebery
Wood
Roberton (shocked hes still on a list)
Frawley (forgot that hes still on a list)
Ryder

 

[Collingwood2022]

Tipped Essendon

Yep, I think the Saints will be rebuilding before they are proper contenders.

Getting North Melbourne topping up vibes from them.

Saints list management has been as bad as ours. They in trouble

It’s infinitely worse. Half their list spent on traded players and nothing to show for it.

 

[No SPIN]

I expected Ratten was a high quality Coach, and would ensure a bounce back this week, especially against a low ranked team.
Not to be.
Now the next 3 week against Top teams will really test his worth.
They could go 1-5.

 

[unplugged]

Eagles up by 27, 15 mins before half time...

"Sheed, we've seen this grand final day!"

Seriously... Fair enough a set shot from the pocket in the last quarter. But not just any shot at any time

Don’t they have Gubby Allan in charge?

 

[unplugged]

Did Swans tank last season?

Very fair question if ya ask me.

 

[stormskye]

“Never tear us apart”

 

[unplugged]

We know how this feels, Port. Farkmoi

 

[surfer1]

Some of the results make our loss more palatable - kidding

Yeah that call was laughable haha.

I was thinking , hes having a ping on the run from 45 out , nothing like the other

Getting flashbacks to our horror Optus Oval match last year

So you’re predicting the Power will beat the Eagles in the finals?

The only problem wiht the new rules are that absolute shellackings are back in vogue

Seems to be pretty easy to drop your head, doesn't it.

At the moment Port's average speed in attack is 7.8km/h, Eagles' average speed in attack is 7.1km/h. On the other hand Port's average speed in defence is 7.1km/h and the Eagles' is 7.7.

Work rate is telling.

Not sure this is what the AFL had in mind, but it goes with the (new) territory. I hope we don’t cop one!

A club worse than us at recruiting? that's refreshing!

 

[Somebody]

Yeah but when he played for us he never kicked any of those goals. He'd shank them.

so maybe it's not jsut our crazy list management/recruiting/derecruiting.. maybe it's poor training too.
but I still think we would have beaten bris if still had Treloar. OR if had gone after a Daniher type.
Just have to hope some of our new players become A grade out of our bargain basement recruiting.
