Are we out of the NAB cup ??????

I also noticed Joffa that as the game went on and Freo's mids couldn't physically run back and defend their backs were exposed one on one (Silvaghni).

Typical saints footy played by Freo last night.The game plan is very taxing and demanding on the mids where they have to gut run to help out the defence and then run and create when the ball is turned over.It lasts for most of the match before cracks appear and the opposition find space and the game...

A 8year social Club member who is entitled to have a opinion?

I haven't stated kosi hasn't been serviceable as a player or a loyal saints man ,just curious where he finished in the B/F.
Some people just love a debate on this forum?

Go Saints.................

I have a wager with a work colleague that he wouldn't have made the top 15.

Can someone post the full leader board at the B/Fairest.


Go Saints..............................

Apparently dealing with personal issues.I heard on the grapevine he hit the wall.

If Roo misses i think we should play a small Forward set up against the Cats.In the past teams like Carlton have troubled the Cats because Geelongs backs all like to kill the ball when it is in the air leaving endless crumbing opportunities for our saads.milnes,shneiders,mileras. If we can execute o...

Agreed Mad Dog.

Mart two questions 1,Do you believe Bj is gone?

2,Can we cover his loss?

You make some good observations Mart,what do you think goddard's market value is????????????

I admire Goddards contribution to the Saints but i am warming to the idea of Goddard leaving and receiving good compensation picks in return for his departure. As stated earlier by previous posts Goddard will turn 28 next year and I believe he is no longer elite and commanding of 700k-800k. We have ...

I totally agree.I think for a while we have been saying once we discover more depth, competition for spots will heat up and grammy will struggle to keep his spot in the best 22.

Go saints............

Barry Hall will follow Brendan Fevolas lead and play in the Ovens &Murray league for Wangaratta Rovers. Rovers have met with Hall and agreed to play 5 games + finals if Rovers should make it. Arguably the best league in country Football.Other players in the O&M include Ed Barlow(Sydney,Bulld...

I applaud Scott Watters for his game plan with kicking long and fast ball movement being very prominent.At times I thought we looked skillful and well drilled on the fast break which caught the Hawks out numerous times on the fast break. I don't think we could ask for a better teacher of Football at...

Don't panic winners only,I'm sure once Blake plays his 200th the door will open for Simpkin.With Raph and Jimmy out Watters went for a bit more experience in the back half.
Blake won't play too much more.



Go Saints.......................

Every new coach has the right to invent a new regime and expect his assistants to follow his instructions on his coaching philosophies and to implement specific game plan instructions,but one gets the early impression that Scott will welcome his assistants opinions and encourage freedom of speech in...

With the recent developments of our footall department has anyone got any goss of possible appointments with reference to our fitness department. I'm a little concerned with the preseason training schedule starting in the next two weeks and still no appointment of any fitness specialists to over see...

Buddy,Swan,Cloke,Pendlebury,Mitchell,Roo,Dal,Chips,Ablett,Hodge, just to name a few.
It will never be Taken seriously until we entice these stars to play.


Go Saints.............................

Only early days but really impressive presser. Loved the words(We) also identifying knowledge of the younger players at the club sipposs,cripps,ledger.I think Rooey was also chuffed with his homework of the saints culture and its list. He also mentioned that he has spoken with some players to try to...

One critic in particular - Malcolm Blight - had great success as a player and coach [with Geelong and Adelaide]. He played and coached his own way to achieve that. Surely he can realise that each team has its idiosyncrasies and each coach needs to support those idiosyncrasies.'' Malthouse said this ...

Is Mick really that delussional to think that Ross adopted their gameplan in 09,10 In the Age Mick was talking about how defence wins premierships and how the pies gameplan was rediculed by the press and other assistants until I quote "St Kilda started having some success with playing wide and ...

With reference to my other points junction surely you don't believe Jack Steven and McEvoy would have been played this year unless Lenny and Gardy weren't available.They were forced changes,Ross has had no eye on the future and coached for now. As another poster posted Ross never embodied St.Kilda h...

Liked Ross and gameplan but 2yrs is a lot of time in football and opposition sides quickly catch on and you become the hunted and worked out. We have always queried about players being not developed and wondered if Ross has had a eye on the future but quiet simply Ross seems to be a know coach hence...
