I don't feel much angst for players once they leave or we send packing but Jack and Charlie are in their own separate basket for me- just cant stand to see either one succeed which bad I know as both at times were a big presence for many years.

Whereby TDK, Owies, Dow, Stocker, Kennedy, Durdin and (Hewitt when he goes) I have no issues and part of me actually wants them to succeed.

See what decades of losing does !

Yep, it's all about respect now EB, but the footy gods HATE us.

Bassett is like so many club presidents - a self absorbed prat who would knife any other club for the most miniscule perceived advantage. The smug arrogance 'nyah nyah nyah we pinched your players ha ha ha'  is galling but when it all blows up in two years time the unholy sh1tstorm that is going to land at sh1tkilda will be biblical....

Toss Lyon has made his first (publically acknowledge d) faux pas, just like at Freo there are issues.  The bloke clearly has a limited amount of credits at every club and he's burning them real fast.

Win, lose or draw I don't see this game as season defining or as a reason to sack Voss the next day or give him a 5 year contract either. This is the clubs dignity and pride on the line facing players who walked out for the money, greener pastures, to play for a club led by that smug clown Bassett who has campaigned against our rights to fairly select father/son players, stolen our players and we need to rally and kick their arse big-time..plus all my inlaws are Saints supporters and will be unbearable.

Yep MBB, the only thing that turned the heat down on us was Ross opening his trap, the ####$$ up draft changes and a draw, we get flogged tonight and all those  pre-written doomsday articles will get published. If NAS gets 40 and is a matchwinner it will get very, very ugly on this site.

The Voss boosters will say we don't have a player on the list capable of tagging him, the Voss haters will say where's the coaching strategy and planning to deal with the issue?  Ultimately both are right....and wrong. And so we will go on and on and on arguing about something unanswerable.

The media have been waiting a couple of weeks for us to get smashed, the articles have already been written, the AFL360 doomsday videos are ready to go.


I reckon you're probably spot on.
And it's the one thing we don't want to see...because it will be 'presented' as the players having reached the end and capitulated, which will add further to the pressure on a number of our people, especially the coach.

More than anything we need a win.

Just have a bit of a feeling this could be that 'season defining' game.

While we can argue about who should have got a game, it probably represents our most experienced side of the year.
It's a side set up to win rather than to see how developing players are progressing (that may come next week depending on results ;)  :D

A win could kick start the season, a similar result to other of our games will continue to raise questions, a bad loss and we have a good idea what next week will look like.

They will pants us EB.
Surely not GTC, they are not very good despite all their player spending.
I see this as one of our more winnable games..

Absolutely. Can and should.

Vossy has informed us that we've been improving, especially in the past month against very good opposition. Lost by a kick against Rottingwood and got real close to a ladder leader... Now we're up against a mob lower down the ladder and closer to us.

Plus, we now see that we're 3rd for time in front thus far in season 2026, the Aints are 6th. It may well come down to Ross v Voss in the coaching box.
