Re: Things that really piss me off.
Yes, the wicked bounce in the 2010 GF. And to add salt into our wounds, there is now extra time and NOT a bloody replay the next week. We were coming home with a full head of steam against our opponents that day.

Re: The Carter Review
A lot of teams struggle in the AFL each year because there just isn't enough good quality players in Australia to support the 18 teams that make up the AFL competition. A 19th team will dilute the playing stocks even further and if they then bring in a 20th team the No.1 sport in Australia will be ...

Re: The horrendous midfield
Having Ryder & Marshall in the same team just makes our structure so much better add Jones to the mix then we have a very competitive midfield . Steele is just a gun ,Dunstan has been amazing ,Crouch is a great pick up . If we get the right team on the park & play with that intensity we can...

Re: Thursdays Saints question time?
I keenly await the end of season clean out where under performing players and other poor performing personnel closely associated with the on-field playing group are shown the door. End of season is the time to be pragmatic and not let emotions rule. Mistakes have been made, nobody should lose face b...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 13 2021
What a poor effort
Looks like pick 4 in the draft. Let’s hope the club doesn’t stuff up that selection
We’re a joke

Re: Lethlean’s appearance
You're right, he's representing our club and not a pack of bums from New Jersey. Look sharp Simon, you're getting well paid to handle a difficult and responsible job. Look the part and be professional.

Re: Josh Battle to midfield
Good suggestion. We were very sloppy by hand and foot on Saturday night compared to the Dogs. Their skill level was way above ours, a player like Hunter would enable a quicker release of the ball from the ball ups.

Re: Can we still make finals?
To factor in the loss of Gresham, Jones, Marshall, Paton, Geary, Carlisle and the continued injuries to Hanneberry means that there are too many quality players unavailable for selection. We just don't have the depth to cover these injured players, nor do I suspect many other clubs would be capable ...

Re: Ratts on pathetic result
I don’t reckon anyone thinks Ratts should even have his position considered - we just made and won a final. He is clearly a decent coach, no arguments their Was perplexed by some things this season tactically, but there was surely some method behind what I considered madness?! I just don’t think co...

Re: Saints urged to keep being aggresive.
Most of the surveys ask fans what rule changes should be introduced and the question that usually gets the least votes is for Only 16 a side . That's the one that I'd like to see if they are serious at combating stoppages Jake Niall from The Age has hinted that perhaps that's what is needed. He rec...

Re: Identity, Leadership, Teamwork - all challenges
We were going nowhere in a hurry so all this change is brilliant. Hopefully cloggers like Newnes, Rice, White, McCartin, McKenzie etc will be delisted and maybe Phillips also. Our list was garbage and it showed. Agree 100%. The list needed a shake up and there is still room for improvement. We were...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 23 2019
And just like that, we throw the game away. Same old story - I already posted at half time that our third quarters have been abysmal all season - players should have been put on notice, but were they? Oh, no. Instead allowing Sydney who have struggled to score all year to kick 3 goals in 3 minutes ...
