Argh, a Bluenose! My sig reveals my loyalties. Still, you are a Saints legend and that is the important part. For what it's worth, I'd like to see Everton do well (although slightly less well than LFC) and dream of the day when the football crown returns to Merseyside. Between that and the Saints, i...

Watters is expected to now joust for St Kilda’s top appointment with Saints playing legend and club games record-holder Robert Harvey as well as former Geelong playing stars Ken Hinkley and Leigh Tudor and highly respected Carlton assistant Alan Richardson. Simpson could still interview with Sain...

He has not said anything remotely racist. He merely pointed out the fact that there are some people who have one indigenous ancestor and who choose to identify themselves as Aboriginal for their own advantage. He has not sought to deny them that right. He has merely stated a fact. I could be wrong ...

This is all going well for the final chapter; when we bring in all of our ex-players who are now assistant coaches and suburban league coaches back to the Saints.

Robert Harvey, Max Hudgeton, Matthew Lappin, Luke Beveridge, Austinn Jones, Jason Heatley.

or perhaps not.

Hey Jiggster, is it true you're from Liverpool? Do you follow either of the city's famed football(soccer) teams?

Now I understand why you're always a big noise in the stands; by jingo if we had 40000 supporters who gave as much as you, we'd be an unstoppable force! Keep on keeping on!

IMO he was just saying what everybody is thinking about the Aboriginals, in that its the truth This little sentence is a perfect example of why lies about anyone in well-read tabloids should not be allowed to stand unchallenged. I'm part of 'everybody', as we all are, yet it is clear that I and a l...

Happily, living overseas I couldn't watch the tired ape parade that is The Footy Show even if I wanted to, so I didn't see the segment. But I did read all 5 pages f this post and feel like I more or less understand the situation. I agree with most if what is being said here, in detail: The rival to ...

hi Leo J its a fact of life in any democracy that we have the right and the left and most are one persuasion or the other,those of us on the right are always willing to hear the left argument and"cop it sweet"if we are wrong!but lets us never stifle the debate that is true freedom! ps the...

Question to saintspremiers; My mum was adopted, I've got no idea who her dad was, her mum was definitely Irish though. My dad was from an English family of Jews that had come together in different parts of Northern England from Poland, (although at that time it was actually Russia), and Romania. My ...

Well this is bubbling along nicely! I know it's the wrong thing to do on a footy forum, but I'm a sucker for Climate Change Denial! To all those who agree with Porky Bolt that Climate Change is a hoax, I hope that your views are based on real unconflicted scientific research, not just on the opinion...

I definitely DO disagree with everything Bolt says, and am extra glad it was an old Saint which took him down a peg. Anyone who enjoys breathing clean air and abhors oppression of the country's oldest and newest communities should celebrate any chapter in this worm's demise... However, this forum is...

200grand? Sounds a bit steep. Sure it wasn't 50 grand and exclusive use of Ricky Nixon's love nest while he's in therapy? I heard he's bringing in Wayne Brittain and Damien Drum as senior assistants. And a good mate of mine told me he has it in good authority that we've already signed Fevola on a 5 ...

Oh boo hoo. If we wait till this time next year, free trade kicks in and he'll be a year older. He's one of the few players on our list with any kind of currency. We have had a few poor drafts lately and there is a severe lack of 2nd rung talent coming through. Though he's a great player and our tea...

I've got a sneaking feeling the quieter the Saints are on the coaching front, the more I believe we're waiting to land Malthouse. What are peoples opinions on the potential relationship between Mick and Milney? Surely it'd be brought back to a professional level and both would respect one another f...

I think Max was taken in by MM to help Pies defenders play on Riewoldt & Kosi, and to get an insight into 'the Lyon Cage', so he's probably of little use now.

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/afl/10306497/no-place-for-normal-under-lyon-regime/ Very interesting read westy, thanks for posting. After all the hysteria, emotion, panic and anger subsides, its good to read the thoughts of a man I refuse to hate. The decision makers at St Kilda had the...

Sad to say but unless he unveils a plan that makes the last 2 weeks make sense, then yes, IMO.

I'm not the type to want to sack everyone, but he has to take responsibility for this.

The above was a recording of Matthew Knights' first meeting with the players of the St Kilda Football Club.

Seems to me after reading the line up of this search team that the club is after a newbie, not a traditional old school name. Perhaps after the situation with Walls and Lyon, they wanted to avoid cronies and mates... or maybe these were the only people who returned our calls. Im a little puzzled.......

Fair call you guys, no arguments there. Sorry for offence caused, Mrs SS. I'm sure you're very rich.

Deffo. We will endure and come through stronger, harder, more professional. That's just what we do. You have my vote already, Jigglin'!

Yeah, All are replacable and as long as we make the right moves, this year could end up being a blessing in disguise. A bloody good disguise, as Blackadder said!

Excuse me BUT IMO the SOLUTION to getting the club back on track starts with the removal of theses clowns who are responsible for this mess That's fine mate, but you're talking to a bunch of bored footy fans, unfortunately I don't have the power to sack the board, this can only be done when a serio...

This was originally a response to another post, but I thought I'd make a new thread with more of a holistic look at our current situation and future. Misso's departure: Internally, bit of a worry. Supposed to be AFL leader in conditioning and player manangement. Definitely had a positive effect and ...
