Re: Lets Be Honest! Its the coaching.
Well something's gone seriously wrong. Just 2 years ago our structures and ability to create and win contests made us one of the most, if not the most feared team in the competition. The one no one wanted to play. Now they're lining up. Seriously, watching spuds like Hanley strolling into open goal...

Re: Watters performance
As soon as we let Goddard go, we signalled to the whole football world, that we are not serious for AT LEAST the next 4-5 years.
Watters has a very difficult job that I think very few wanted.
We have no choice but to hope that this guy is some sort of prodigy.

Re: Concerned about our lack of direction off-field
In my opinion, the minute Nettlefold walked in the door,
The club has gone backwards.
Coincidence or incompetence?

Re: Dear oh dear Nick....
Think he's shot.
Had an excellent first half of the year, but I think just wear and tear is getting to him now.
Needs to be carefully managed for the rest of the year.
Next year probably his last I would say.

Re: Watters performance
Have to disagree, if his objective is to try and get us the earliest draft pick possible, without looking like tanking,BigMart wrote:Watters is responsible for both Selection and GD tactics
He did poorly on both counts for this game
Then I say he is doing a very good job.

Re: Just back
The fact that they are continually giving their all and are "in the game" for at least 3 quarters, shows something positive. We will improve a bit more next year. My worry is that there are no key position replacements for Rooey and Sam Fisher coming through. I would hate for the team to ...

Re: Will Kosi retire after his 200th?
The PERFECT day for a farewell for both Kosi & Blakey could be the FAN DAY on August 25 when we play Gold Coast at Etihad. This just happens to be the same day as our March around Etihad !! I seriously wish you had more say in how things are run down in Seaford, I doubt that Knucklehead Nettlef...

Re: Hawks following the Saints?

Re: Eight years of pain coming ...
Pain is watching years of drama and building come to nought. Pain is missing out on a flag by a toe poke, then another by a bounce. Several years of development may not always be fun but it doesn't have to be painful. As long as we learn the lessons of the past... and we don't implode or fritter aw...

Re: SAINTS can’t afford to keep WATTERS!
Lyon's coaching a team that's still two thirds players who couldn't do anything right under Harvey. They're sitting just outside the top four. Watters has piloted a finals team into the bottom four. If anyone's not worried, I envy them. I can't be sure right now that Watters isn't the problem. I ca...

Re: The club is falling apart at the seams...again
The one positive about this season was the squeaky clean off field image we maintained. Now we are in the media for all the wrong reasons - again and today I find myself reading about player rebellions. I must admit I am border line giving up. It's too much and has been too hard for too long. Can't...
