Bonus, don’t have to wait until Sunday for another disappointing game.

I hope we make significant changes. Time to reward co sister performers from the VFL.

Friday night losses used to burn the whole weekend.

Now I just say get it out of the way and move on with life. Nothing actually hurts anymore, just shrug my shoulders and walk away.

I think you’re onto something, Darcy would easily add value to our fwd line.

Clash of the two most disappointing sides of the season. St.Kilda have picked up since the bye, as we had done until yesterday.

Never know with Carlton, or St.Kilda. This game could go anywhere, any direction.

Yep. I used to love Sunday games because they were off Broadway. Even though this mob can't hurt me anymore, I am still stupid enough to put off stuff I need to do outside to watch us play Sunday afternoons. Getting it out of the way now my preference.

We have earned the right to a Friday night game with our newfound team defense buy in, and winning 3 of our last 5 games. :roll:

Maybe the AFL Commission is looking for a way to help out an old mate in Simon Lethlean with a great Saints promotion night with the headlines after the game THE SAINTS WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE OF FINALS.

Flower, if it's Friday night I might be forced to watch on tv rather than ignorant bliss listening on radio

Charlie got through unscathed in his 2nd praccy game.

He might play on Friday night.

Would be great if he and Harry were available.

Williams is a big loss

Gambling companies will be running a book on how many minutes Charlie is out there before he gets injured.

Really robbed Kennedy from the midfield to spend more time as a forward.

He is a good forward.

I liked last weeks main midfield group Kennedy, Walsh, Dow.

Crippa will start Centre no doubt. He has to play a hard contested game and win contested ball.
Then give it off quickly to Dow or Walsh.

Against NM they won CC 22-9

DeKoning vs Marshall and Ryder. Poor bastard. Can bet the young skinny fella wont stop trying.

He's had to face OBrien, Darcy, Blicav, Grundy, Goldstein and this week 2 big boys.

Cripps has to ruck too. Jack will be eaten alive by Ryder.


This is all about learning for tdk and jsos , we aren’t playing for anyting except rd 23

So cripps doesn’t Ruck at all , that’s all we need to see , cripps going down

Wake up ,


Cripps is not a protected species. He is bigger and stronger than Jsos.

If he's playing injured, he shouldn't be playing.

Wake up and stop the excuses.
Cripps job is as the bull doing the tough stuff. He lacks finnesse. Has no left foot.
he made his reputation for clearances. Use to get 20 a game. hard ball gets, not soft ball gets.

Conditional commitment is an issue with our leaders. I don't want conditional players.
I want tough players like Cunington was towards Cripps when they contested.
Cunington brushed Cripps aside with what seemed to me with ease. My eyes popped.
Happened last week in a marking contest against Pies, Cripps against a smaller player.

Swans captain Kennedy has played 270 games over 13 years and he's still truckin'.
Plays the hardest role in the team doing the heavy lifting. When its his turn to ruck, he does it.
Swans haven't protected him. He, like the rest of the Swans are prepared to play a physical collission game week in week out.

No wonder we are soft as candy. It starts from the top. He's a captain and he has to lead the charge when its his turn.
Harden the @#$%&! up.


Cripps got brushed aside last week against a smaller Collingwood player? Really? You sure about that?

Cripps did have 22 possies 5 clearances and 3 goals. I get he has deficiencies, and he’s no Bont or Petracca, but that’s not a bad game.

Yup get the game over and done , soonest, take the pain and just move on , we’ve far more pressing issues to begin to resolve.
It’s going to be tumultuous once the report is released , must be a bit to bring to light?

The problem isn’t the possessions he gets, it’s the defensive chasm he brings into the midfield. He’s trying to be superman when he should instead focus on his team role.

It’s the story of the entire team, lack of system and knowledge of your place in that system.

And the week before, he was OUT injured, but apparently got brushed aside by aside by a small Collingwood player.

The reason Martin and Bont look so good all the time is that they ride on the top if their teammates all working to a system that allows them to look so good.

We forget Cripps was better than Bont a few years ago based on his individual brilliance, but lack of system to support him in all situations has brought him crashing back to earth.

Dustin Martin not at Richmond would be just another Stringer.

Wasn’t Collingwood, but I think I know the incident being described, was against west coast I think.
