I heard Kosi's form wasn't that impressive last week for Sandringham. Can only guess they are going for experience. ITs ok to go for experience but at what cost i hope kossi and ralph play well but i do think we are makeing a backward step. I see other teams playing youth and look what happens they...

I see this as a lack of trust in the kids from Ross, to me I am disappointed, it smells a bit of a desperate coach, I would rather see 22 players that earn their spot each week. I don't see that at present. I tend to agree with you the players like ledger (has pace did well and kicks goals) the fut...

Geelong is a big bodied team and the Saints have gone for experience this week. I have my doubts that Joey will come up - Ledger may get a game. :lol: I listened to Guy Mc Kenna from the GC Suns on radio yesterday. He was saying how difficult the game is for the young guys and that he needs to rest...

Re: Should we ask for AFL assistance money (2012)?
Looking at our membership we are on 39K and won't crack 40K this season as we are at June cut off. Next season 35K would be a very good effort - might even be lower! How can we even hope to get a reserves side without some extra cash. IMO you must have a minimum 40K members to compete nowadays othe...

Players such as Gram, Raph, Gamble, Baker are all on notice and can easily go back to the magoos. Plenty of time for the young kids to get more game time. They are kids and aren't physically strong enough to play a whole or even half a season against the big boys. I can see several of them getting ...

Re: Who were the Saints "party boys" in the 70s?
Hi I have often read that the Saints in the 1970s were the party boys. You hear the players in the 80s and 90s often say 'well, it was different from when we were the party boys'. However, you never actually hear much at all except people liked to go to the disco... Who were the actual Saints playe...

Re: Simpkin
I'm really, really sorry to be a voice of negativity on this night that was a great win for us, but I just have to say, after having witnessed first hand tonight, that, unfortunately, Simpkin = Dud. That moment he had on the back flank, had time, had space, yet managed to get tackled and cost us a ...

We have big marking Players!
Most of our big players are defenders so we need to start playing some up forward NOW to help rooy out. Walsh would be good but they wont play him up forward for sandy.He has the body strength,and pace.He needs the experience but he carnt get that playing for Sandy. Then there is Archer and Stanley,...

Is it time to unleash the T WALSH!
Well Tommy would have been handy tonight either up forward as a big body to contest the marking or in defence to have run out of the back line. This then would have allowed either Zach to play forward and have gilbert back. Tommy has come a lond way and as a mature body he would give a contest plus ...

He's just a player. Was born 15 years to late. Would of been good in the 80s/90's Interesting perspective, and I don't totally disagree. Is he a bit like Brock McLean, one-paced and not creative enough? Armo did a good job tonight he was allways at the bottom of packs and got the ball out a number ...

Its time that we started to groom other key position forwards and defenders. Zack has played a lot as a forward while at Hawthorn and he is a good kick has hight and can mark,plus has experience as a FF or CHF> This would all us to play sippos as a half forward and even put a johnson,stanley,Archer ...

Absolutely monstered by Cloke tonight. Worked under the ball with ease, didn't make much of an effort at ground level. He's what, 24ish now, and still has little kid skinny arms. Severe lack of talent and intelligence. Get rid of him, for christs sake, get rid of him. Or continue to persist with hi...

Re: Cahill Archer Johnson Stanley
For us to become a contender again in the next 12 months one of these four has to become a consistent goal kicking full-forward. Roo can then play his roaming CHF role with Sipo as the 3rd clever medium sized fwd and then two small fwds. So fingers crossed one of them steps up and takes it on. If n...

Seriously dont understand why people on here want him dropped. Its no coincedence that when hes in the side we won our only two games. Riewoldt clearly plays better with Kosi in and we just look more dangerous. I know his stats dont always back him but his effort is always for the team and we lack ...

Our seasons shot. We'll struggle to make the 8 and Im not sure we want to. For all the talk of "start pre season now" Im concerned that 2012 may not be a realistic "shot" at a flag. Reality is we'd need to find a ruck option who is ready made NOW. McEvoy isnt a number 1 and cert...

Bring back maxy from collingwood as our defencive coach (we dont have one now well looks like it).
His contract is up at the end of this year and he would be great for the saints.
