him at number 1 for a while,perplexing? Adam Goodes-it's not his fault that he's won 2 brownlows,but the worst dual brownlow medalist there is,and the scary thing is,the way the umps love him for getting a whopping 17 touches a match that are all uncontested out on the wing/half back flank,he could...

roger from wa I think some of your instructions date back to the 70s "don't let him get a touch" , "don't even think of getting a kick" .. it's not that simple anymore and the game is played differently I believe that the saints play a game where they are happy and don't mind to ...

easily Dustin Fletcher

hardly ever gets the number one forward, and then get 30 kicks playing on his shadow

soft sniper, has been reported heaps and still only ever gets a week

have to disagree with those saying goodes, thomas and judd

Well with the NAB practice games we do know that the coaching staff used quite a number of the players in different roles and for varying amounts of ground time with many rotations used just to get match time into the fringe.

No doubt Milne had a good game last night. No doubt he'll have bad ones throughout the year, and he'll continue to have his fans and detractors. What really pleased me from Milne last night was a defensive effort, on Macleod... Ball came in and Milne managed to spoil it to the ground (not a skill I...

The drafting during the GT period has cost us some much needed depth that we could have used now. It's good to see that it has changed the past couple of years because the draft is very important and should be taken very seriously. I think we had the depth ,we just had shocking injury runs. No team...

can't believe comments saying nothing in the brown hit it was as cheap and cowardly as anything you could see on the field, yes he was only winded that is not the point, we don't want to see that in the game if it was a saints player he had hit we would be screaming for his head. lucky to get two, n...

2007 was a very poor year, with no stand-out performances. The win against Melbourne in Round 1 was put into context by the season Melbourne had. There is a need for improvement, including an improvement in fitness and focus, across the club. When we somehow scraped into the eight late in the seaso...
