FFS this s*** has gone on long enough we can't keep sacking coaches.

Ratten is good enough, we need to recruit better and build a better team for him to work with

Amen to that!

we always have a hard draw, regardless. they fit in the marquee games, then shuffle us around them. we are an afterthought. Agree – you’re hitting the nail right on the head. Every year, more marquee games are introduced, none of them involving St Kilda. This, as you said, means St Kilda has to be ...

Yep – I have to admit I’m over it as well. My partner is a Hawthorn supporter, but for the past 26 years he bought a St Kilda membership because the Saints needed it more than the Hawks. I can no longer justify this and I will urge my partner to buy a Hawthorn membership next year. This is simply no...

Fit: quite Fast: losing first choice players rapido. And first game in a bog. There goes fitness for R2. Now lets talk mental strength and teamwork... Remember playing North after they played in a monsoon the week before in Cairns. We even played them on the Good Friday, so they had a short break. ...

Of course, it had to be another @#*&@! Sunday game. I'm sooooooo sick of them. And don't give me the old chestnut .... because we deserve it - Good Friday game, etc. etc. In 2019 The Kangaroos got hammered by 58 points, but guess what? They still got the Good Friday game this year. This is a lo...

The Saints only have themselves to blame for this fixture. We were handed a pretty similar one in 2016, over-achieved and finished 9th and therefore lobbied the AFL for a better fixture. I think the quote Richo used was that “we’ve done our share of the heavy lifting.” The AFL responded, gave us mo...

Jaysus, that’s a tough start. West Coast, Richmond, Geelong away, Collingwood all by round 7. Then GWS away in round 9. That’s last year’s top 5 all by round 9. I reckon the top teams are more gettable earlier in the season than later in the season. If we are any chance of beating them, I much pref...

Will be super hard to beat the blues this round they are so pumped with their new coach and all.. But guess what Ratten is a former blue with more than one thing to prove.. Sacked by the blues as we know.. There is more on the line here than we know.. If the saints win this one Ratts is our man. Se...

Eddie probably throws them a bone. Given that the AFL refuses to employ them as professional full-time umpires, I can't say I can blame them if they're accepting bribes. In my view, the umpiring standards will only continue to suck (particularly for lower-market clubs, like St.Kilda) for as long as...

At the risk of feeding certain posters with fake moon landing "evidence"... Saints are certainly not the umpire's pets this year. Bulldogs and Pies up there. https://i.imgur.com/dDhgUCY.jpg Not too surprised about the Pies. If they’d show a deficit, Eddie would run amok through AFL headqu...

Call me a cynic, but I just have the feeling that Jack simply does not want to play for the Saints any longer. So mental illness is a convenient out. IF the trade rumours are true, I bet your bottom dollar that “mental illness’ will no longer be a problem when playing for Geelong - there won’t be an...

SNAFU

Not to mention the person who used pick 1 on a diabetic I don’t think diabetes can be blamed for Paddy’s shortcomings. Diabetes did not hamper him from playing well. It was his uncanny knack to get concussed which now sidelines him and, really, recruiters could not foresee this. As for the other re...

I don't buy into the Umpires being biased. I just think umpiring standards are below where they need to be. It was just a classic display of Umpires not having a feel for the game. Terrible display all day and they should be dropped next week. You could be right. I only said could be... But we have...

I don’t think it says anywhere that the free kicks need to be even?

Maybe not, but this is a bit drastic.

Anyone else had money deducted from their card for next year's membership without permission? They tried it on with me - and four others I know of. When you call them to say WTF they pretend you must've ticked a box on a form the year before - then finish up by having the gall to ask if you plan to...

if it's not about winning and losing why do the afl want carlton up and about? because bringing in the dollar is all about winning and losing. especially longer term. especially in the current afl climate. "The AFL has turned to its powerhouse clubs Essendon and Collingwood to rescue the highe...

Then the #1 pick will be ours, and we can focus our efforts on how to waste it. :D :D :D I was loving your post until I read your last line and reality set it.
