Judging by Pelchen's choices for past trades I'm hoping he'll weed out the players that haven't pulled their weight. Why should we have passengers riding on the coat-tails of our hardest workers? We've seen the impact it's had on Lenny and Roo and these blokes cannot continue to do it all... Chips w...

I've seen too many games where he lets us and his team mates down...the grey matter between Zac's ears may not be as easy to change as his body shape I say if we can get something for him - get rid of him

:idea: Wish I'd read this before posting..."Harvey is believed to have become so disenchanted with football after his snap dumping by the Dockers that he wanted to leave the game altogether, though he is likely to continue living in Perth next season." http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl...

Two senior coaches leave/resign/get sacked and they swap teams the following year!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: Not sure if this is likely or if Mark Harvey is ready right now to take on the role of senior coach at another club...but if Harve's goes through the process and seems like the best candidate ...

I guess I wasn't entirely clear on what I meant See me, I work in the emergency department of hospital, I'm a psychiatry specialist so to speak. In my particular hospital (IMO of course) the psych care we provided is amazing. Whenever I speak about it I always talk it up, about the great things tha...

We need a coach that has come from a successful AFL club, and hopefully the board will put together a good team of experienced assistants around the senior coach, whoever they appoint. Watters is rightly the favourite for a number of reasons and the main one I think, without knowing the guy, being t...

Spot on Bigmart. Cant believe how some people are so passionate about their opinions without having any knowledge or statistics to back it up. People talk about our list being difficult to manage, well if it is Id prefer a man whose been in the industry for 30 years playing and coaching than a firs...

Didnt use one ounce of energy when he ran it. Please explain... are you just posting things that seem funny to you, or are you being serious? If you were there...You either ran with him side-by-side for the whole coarse or you got that perception from those that ran with him side be side, or you sa...

Stanley too could be a chance as Full Back. G Train came to us as a FB...If anything it will probably help him learn down back and it may fast track his development as a long term FF. Raph and Zac need to compete for their positions. I reckon we have to give some other players a chance to see if the...

JG was a valuable contributor because his attitude used to be; "I'd better work my ass off now that Saints gave me a second chance at an AFL career!!" Let's see if he wants to continue working his butt off, or whether he takes that second chance for granted... It's a clean sheet from here....

I think his value is underrated. The role he performs requires physical strength and to become a quality tagger won't be easy if it's going to be one of our youngsters or rookies. It also won't be easy for someone to replace CJ and I'm not sure we've got someone with the mental toughness to do the j...

Johnny, what the players do in the privacy of their own homes is their business, you make fair comments about it being a sporting club etc. Gilbert WAS a nobhead (in my opinion) for allowing the pix to become public as well as getting us so much negative publicity pre-season. I'm well aware that th...

Nearly 30 years of progress in reconciliation was lost during the Howard years. From the time Howard was elected in 1996 they fed the racist masses exactly what they wanted to hear. With the Children Overboard Affair, Ruddock, Reith and Howard also did the same thing to all legitimate refugees. Raci...

I'm a Saints supporter and this is a public forum fella, and the Saints concern me. I don't know him from a bar of soap and I've never met him, but BM has a lot of bloody good opinions that I agree with. Oh also, people being compromised concern me. A former president suing the former coach less tha...

Goose might be a valuable contributor at Lions, but I don't think we're gonna be on the right track if we make decisions based on sentiment. The team has a lot of motivation and hunger, and our new coach needs to be as cunning and as tough and as intelligent as Chris Scott to get the best out of the...

Please explain how i was embarrassing....joffaboy...i think most people (who havent got a little bias against me) read the situation correctly.. And how did the record get set straight.....not sure that is correct if my memory serves me... FWIW....what im led to believe....thats not exacty concrete...

I'd prefer Riewoldt to the Gold Coast or GWS! Why fool? What's your replacement look like? Do you want to do what Lyon did to Max and just treat him like s***? Or the way Melbourne and Bailey did to some of the veterans like Bruce and Macdonald? Give us your analysis of Roo's value or lack there of...

41 inside 50's to 17 at half time in 2009 Could not capitalise....didnt get the job done... Geelong did Guys like Varcoe can make the difference to your team. He's one of about 3 or 4 specialist goal kickers for the Cats. He sarted well, looked crap for the most part but when it counted, the game w...

Chris Scott is a mastermind...oh hang on....the papers won't be giving him all the credit. The credit goes to the playing group. It's a group of players that have been assembled and held together by those before Scotty...Lots of great administrators, coaches and lots of sacrifice for this core group...

Not eveyone is perfect....which i have tried to explain to you and the moron chronies who believed he could do NO wrong and any critisism of him was blasphomy.....One of them has now turned.... He made many, many mistakes....very poor in the 2009 GF.....Because 2009 was his greatest year as a match...

PJ wrote: "perhaps it's more of an issue with the mids and play makers that select the entry into the 50." Spot on. And you've gotta not just rate the quality of the cattle in the midfield, but also the game plan and instruction by the coach. I reckon its a really taxing game plan when you...

Injury always creates opportunity.... And it has a flow on effect....lenny's injury puts us in a better position in 2012.... Dal Santo stepped up inside.... Steven stepped up .......... Armitage finally got an opportunity.... He's never been a reciever.... Gardiner being unavailable all season help...

I feel asleep after watching all of GF1. The telly was still on and I bloody woke up with about 10 minutes to go in the replay. I watched the Weagles v Swans 2006 straight after. Judd, Kerr and Cousins were brilliant early for the Eagles and they got out to a 3 or 4 goal lead. It seemed that Swans w...

LOL...Fasolo would not have had a run in the seniors all year if his coach was Lyon

it'll be interesting to see if Lyon's learnt anything or if he'll show faith in young guys and instill confidence in them... i think not

And what success did Burkey, Thomson, Banger, et all have... They were all established stars in 2000 when we won 2 games and a draw. Of coarse they had success. They are recognised as great servants of the Saints, and they're respected by all footy followers. I named these quality individuals becau...
