Youngest lineup this week?
We must be close to the youngest team going around this week with an average age of 23.1 years old. It's going to be a very big ask to get a good performance out such a young team heading out West against the top of the ladder team. Lets just hope most of them are too young to have learnt how to los...

Re: How did Billy Longer go?
still only 24yrs old, Problem is while yes ruckman certainly seem to improve their rucking as they get towards 28, I cannot recall a ruckman not being handy around the ground at 24 becoming so at 28. You are right, you don't often see players who can't get a kick (or in Billy's case a backwards han...

Re: Why oh why, do the Saints love to BOMB?
My theory for this bombing it forward epidemic we seem to be going through is that early last season when it became apparent that our scoring efficiency was well down compared to the league average we made a change. Richo was routinely talking about our need to take shots from better positions in or...

Re: Paddy smashes his PB in 3km time trial
This is an interesting concept being trialled in the US. It is basically a collar that tries to replicate the conditions inside the head of a woodpecker. I know of one high profile player in the NFL trialling it by the name of Luke Kuechly. He has sustained about 4 concussions in the past few years ...

It doesn't have to be one or the other… Defend, clog, flood, zone, do whatever it takes to stop the opposition from kicking goals, that is fine. Defence isn't about butchering the ball backwards and sideways from the backline, that gives your opponent every chance to set-up and stop our attack. A...

Hi guys I don’t post too often but I am a heavy reader of this forum and find it an invaluable resource for someone like me that lives interstate. I think that a lot of our problems seem to stem from how slowly we move the ball forward. We still try to possess the ball at all costs rather than mo...

I think I would prefer to play Geelong for the following reasons. 1) Revenge 2) We seem to match up pretty well against them 3) I think that the hurt from last year will be magnified if we played Geelong. I believe the team is more likely to turn up to really play and they won't let anything stop th...

Laidley is a very good coach, before he joined the AFL coaching ranks he was coaching my local footy club in Canberra. I'm not sure if he has changed since then but he was a good coach and a very, very angry man. I would not want to be on the end of one of his sprays. I remember vividly one day when...

As we only have 30 odd thouasand members I thought it was a reasonable turnout against the crows. I think a lot of the non-member Saints supporters will come out in the finals as they have to pay the full price anyway. So i suppose what i'm saying is non-members might prefer to send Harves off in hi...

A review should probably have started at the beginning of the year. Minimally asking questions such as- - Where do we think our list is at? - Where do we think we should be finishing? Etc. Then we should be setting how far an acceptable deviation from here is? Eg. We think we're top 4 and we finish ...

Yeah i definately think at least a stay at home forward and then the small forwards staying outside the 50 until the fall of the ball where they should then be running past for the crum. Our small forwards just sitting inside that 50 ark only succeed in allowing the opposition to double team our tal...
