Re: Strength & Loyalty Program thoughts?
As a member for 53 years I'm a little bit resentful of this new grab for funds. I reckon I've done my bit. During much of the late 70's and all of the eighties we were struggling on-field and consequently our membership numbers declined. Despite this I soldiered on joining every year even though the...

Is there any connection with Ross Lyon when he was at Freo?

Re: Ross Lyon loves St Kilda
Being a Saints member for 51 years; I've seen it all, and needless to say I've seen lots of coaches come and go. :roll: :roll: Ross Lyon is intelligent enough to adapt his coaching and game style to suit. Since Jeans; I believe he's been our best coach. Admittedly he is dealing with a new gen of you...

Re: Malthouse on Clarkson's Future
I'm just trying to get the context of this discussion. - Was Carlton in a similar position as St Kilda is now when Ratten was their coach? - Did Malthouse (a duel premiership coach) replace Ratten at Carlton as senior coach because the Carlton board thought Malthouse would deliver them the Holy Grai...

Re: Why do Sydney always turn up to play?

Message from the President
It's been a long time since I posted. This is my 50th year as a Saints member so I've seen the good times and the bad. I'd be interested to hear from members what they think about our President's message. If you didn't get the message from the President (ie you're not a member) please don't respond ...

Re: Time to step up!!!!!
Ah coach bashing!! I've seen that so many times as a Saints member of 48 years. I have a close friend who barracks for Melbourne. Whenever the "D's' don't perform, it's always the coach who is at fault. He has blamed Barrassi, Northey, Balme, Huthison, Daniher, Bailey, Neeld, Craig, Roos and no...

Re: How many others are dissapointed by this result ?
We will be top 4 before 2020. Could be next year, could be in 3 years. Then you need a touch of luck. We're due for that. It's all about luck. Get me started and I can talk about 1971,1997,2008,2010. We had chances but strange things happened and if you tell me you make your own luck F-Off. But wit...

Re: Mav
I've been disappointed with Mav's output this year too and I've been surprised he's held his spot in the team for so long. I'm wondering if his role in the local "Mav's World" Social Media spot is keeping him in the side. I can't imagine it making any difference but can "Mav's World&q...

Re: Weller Out
I like Wright. He's fearless and even though Mav played well last week against the Hawks I have been frustrated with his kicking for goal and disposal in earlier games particularly against Collingwood (even though we won the game). Having said that Wright's disposal isn't great. Either way as Richo ...

Re: Better team and coach than 2010
I think the 2017 list has an upside which could surpass the 2010 list by the end of the year. That would require winning the flag this year, but I think we will be battling it out for a spot in the eight. Not necessarily, other teams might improve even more but I think we may surprise and not be fa...
