HA! Try hanging around the Saints board where people are absolutely melting down over Hunter Clarke not getting a call up after two 15possesion pre-season games. Its a terrible terrible forum thats rotten to the core but theres just no where else that rivals it for actual content.

cmndstab posted:I reckon if someone in Australia is able to come up with either a device you can wear which prevents ACL injuries, or a method of treating them so they don't steal a year of your life, they'd win Australian of the Year. LARS was meant to be the big latter thing. Turns out artificial ligament that doesn't actually repair itself when under constant stress tears tend to fail in elite sportsmen.

cmndstab posted:Maybe they'll be able to come up with some kind of super-LARS? I think its very common for ACLs in the early stages of the season and I think its absolutely due to lack of match fitness. Frankly I think that limiting the pre-season to two matches is a massive detriment to the game. If anything I think we should have more.

It feels like there's been too many already. Two Crows with ACLs so far this year (the other being Rhiannon Metcalfe) and it's only March.

Periphery posted:3 shots at goal that went out on the full totally cost us the game that time. So god drat frustrating. Just one of those players on would have probably been enough to get over the line. That or kicking MORE GOALS THEN POINTS FFS. Meanwhile, I hope it lights a fire up their asses. 2 from 2 is a great start but you get complacent and clubs kick 5 goals on you in a quarter, like tonight. Too many had a poo poo game as well. Sinclair and Acres were both either poo poo or mostly shithouse. Plus Kent has been really mediocre so far, would drop him for Ben Long next week.

Periphery posted:Sincs is being hosed by the coaches desire to play him up forward - something that has never worked. Same with Acres but to a lesser degree. I really feel when we are so obviously lacking in the contest that not playing Acres in the guts is real stupid. Dropping Dunstan is really dumb I think. He is leading our contested possessions and tackles as well. I agree he is frustrating but I also think his low possession count is a factor the way the team plays. Very few of our boys are approaching 30disposals a game at the moment. Meanwhile Acres has never really shown a huge amount in the middle, its a big risk putting him in the middle when Dunstan IS a known factor and plays his role. As far as Sinclair, I havent watched every centre bounce but he has been generally lining up on the wing the last two matches and has played well generally. Even playing from the forward arc, 9 handballs only is a big question mark over him. With Steven basically 100% back in next week, he would be the first to come out for me. As far as Long, I would be dropping Kent for him before anyone else. Similar roles and frankly Kent has been disappointing after quite a few Melb people have talked him up.

BrigadierSensible posted:I think this is actually interesting, (not specifically Carlton, but for all clubs.) Do you know/understand the reasons other people might have an aversion to your club. For example, I am a Hawthorn supporter, but I think I know and understand exactly why some might hate us, (smug born to rule middle class fans, Jeff Kennett, Luke Hodge, James Sicily, Back to back to back recently, etc.) And also, how much of why you think people hate your club is the real reason people hate your club? As a Saint's man any issue with Hawthorn immediately goes back to the zoning days when Hawthorn got given a lot of what was meant to be Saint's zone which resulted in the worst decade for us and the best for you. Its not specifically a Hawthorn thing but more just the comp was a complete joke of "equality" for such a long time and thats just the most direct example. Lately its really just the success you've had means everyone is sick of Hawthorn. People hated Brisbane the same way until they started sucking for years on end. Clubs like Carlton and Essendon are hated because of their history of extremely favourable financial and political influence whilst also cheating behind the scenes. They are both long term salary cap cheaters and mostly got a slap on the wrist when found out until the AFL turned proper professional and actually properly punished Carlton for their last breach. Plus Carlton's involvement in the dissolving of Fitzroy will always sour the club for me. Periphery posted:Of players that have played every game Gresham is leading our CP (32 total) and Steele our tackles (25 total) but Dunstan is 2nd in both. Marshal and Steven go above him if you do averages for CP. Dunstan is a known factor but he's an incredibly average one that plays on average the 25th least time on ground of any Saints player atm (64.7%). Honestly Dunstan's TOG is somewhat baffling to me. 64% is WELL down on even his last few years and I know he had an excellent pre-season and beat out his previous bests so there must be some sort of TOG structure they are adhering to for some reason. I dont disagree with you about Acres but considering his injuries in pre-season it might be the main reason they are holding him back almost purely forward so far. Ecspecially considering we are being much more experimental with who goes into the midfield this year. Basically what we need is Steven and Hannebrey in the side.

BrigadierSensible posted:Do you remember the specifics of this? Going off memory, Carlton owned a sizeable amount of the debt that Fitzroy owned and refused to commit to a payment plan that would allow them to pay it off or wipe off enough to keep operating. The details are fuzzy but that was the crux of it.

Ive said it before and I will say it again, the AFLW should have been state based teams with a number of cross state games per season and the finals be full on Australia wide. No AFL team based ones at all, brand newies all the way through.

Periphery posted:iirc, during 2009-2010 the Saints had the highest H&A average attendance of any team and there's some survey data showing that they have a similar amount of people that support them as the Tigers. Something like 20% of AFL club supporters along the bay from StKilda to Frankston are Saints fans. Had we had a period of success in the last 20 years AND had the club had a good admin we would be pushing 80k members without an issue right now. But being wasteful is a StKilda trait so here we are. monolithburger posted:https://mobile.twitter.com/ClarkyHeraldSun/status/1119532609007050753?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet I really feel for him.

Talking about poo, Hawks vs Geelong is about as close as we can get to "Douche vs Turd Sandwhich" in the AFL. I am sad it wasnt a draw and both teams put into a big blender.

Periphery posted:If only there was some way that the AFL could improve the standard of umpiring. It's a real shame that the job is so hard that they can't train it full time. I hear that they fear that making it full time will greatly reduce their available umpires who have full time jobs already as there is not a single person who wouldn't loving glady give up their regular job to be a full time umpire making 150k+ a year.

Periphery posted:Jack Steven out indefinitely due to mental health and wellbeing. First and foremost: I hope he gets well soon. I think we just need to soldier on for the next 6 weeks until the bye. Past that point there's a real possibility of Hannebery being ready for AFL level, Carlisle fit and ready to go and Max King might even be ready for a debut in the latter half of the year. We can absolutely win half the next 6 games ahead of us which will put us at 7 wins with half a season left to go.
