Re: Delistings Confirmed
Does the coach see Battle long term as forward or a defender? He's splayed better in defence, but he's shown enough up forward to suggest that he can do it. He's still very young Looked great in the back half on Saturday, bit equally good marking in the forward 50. He is shaping as an absolute ripp...

Re: Umpires
The Dogs are out so maybe the AFL will choose another favoured species who would help their " image". They love a "Fairy Tale" so it's probably out of us and Brissy atm.

Re: Adelaide Oval
We've 2 players in the team that are quite familiar with AO in Paddy Ryder and Dougal Howard and another with some additional experience playing there in Callum Wilkie, in addition to our recent successes there earlier this season. Cumulatively we'd have an "experience" advantage over the ...

As my Grandson said after last nights loss, "Geez it hard being a Saints supporter". He''s right, but he's also learnt.as a Saints supporter, how to be stoic and resilient. We Saints supporters have some real character!

Re: The forward pocket role...
We should be persevering with Parker. He didn't set the world on fire on his last hit out BUT he has a physical presence plus X factor. On the physical side, opposition players know he's around. With Kent an Lonie, there's no physical presence. With his X factor, his run and leaps exude enthusiasm, ...

Re: The persecution of Robert Muir is the story football doesn't want to hear
A very respectful response by the football club. Now those words need to be followed up with sincere action to meet his needs.

I might live to regret writing this, but Melbourne are traditionally St Kilda's bunnies. [Like we are to Nth] Even in our darkest days, we seem to achieve agains them.

Re: What to do with Battle...
After Roma, I think Josh is the next top flight "prospect" in the Saints team that will blast on to the AFL elite list. He can do it all!

Re: Saints relocation- does it matter?
No it wouldn't matter if it meant the survival of the club. Tassie Saints for instance, with all the draft concessions and financial support from the AFL that GWS and the Suns have, would be just be the icing on the top. They'd get an avalanche of support from the Islanders plus continued support fr...

Re: Boy how disheartening was that?
Ratts may have encountered the GT conundrum: How does a team that likes to attack counter the Uber Flood? Mass numbers behind the ball. I’d much prefer that we find an attacking way to overcome it, but I’m not sure there is one with 16-minute quarters and 90 interchanges allowed. FWIW, I think it’s...

Re: Ben Long's Bump - Any defence?
He will definitely get weeks but I thought it was brilliant - saw that Darcy was coming and protected himself by turning around and allowing him to run into the back of him. It was not a malicious act and I contend that if Darcy had picked himself up, nothing else would have been said about it. Wil...

Re: Reserves scratch match v Carlton
When they next play a scratch, instead of making up numbers as the Saint did for Carlton, they should play the 5-5-5, 15 players aside format. That way, each group [backs, mids and forwards will get match time that equates realistically to the 18 aside set up. ie 5 backs, [ no back pocket]. 5 mids,...

Re: Saints Heading for Noosa
It's probably a 30 minute flight from the Sunshine Coast airport to the Gold Coast airport. But it involves bussing to get to and from each of the airports, adding time and complexity. So loading/unloading and transit time probably adds a further half hour at each end. So a flight would save maybe a...

Re: No hardmen!!
Collingwood’s pressure rating was through the roof in the first half according to Foxtel. They were playing at finals intensity. It totally floored us and we weren’t prepared for that level of attack. so we are saving our intensity for another game ? ;) To be fair, the majority of this team hasn't ...
