Re: Ratts Press Conference
Out coached? Really? To me it came down to resources and ability to perform the game plan They went tall, even with their injuries to talk resources Our tall resources are what they are confirmed by our 2 KPP forwards are Bruce and Membrey, Membrey being 188cm tall In defence we had Carlisle, Brown...

Re: Time Will Tell
You’ve got to consider, All of those teams went into the match heavy favourites, and it didn’t surprise that we were outplayed at times during the game. The Freo game and Geelong games were prett6 good efforts imo I was at the Free game, the first quarter was pathetic and expecting to beat them aft...

Re: Time Will Tell
If a professional footballer spends 5 days training and preparing and can’t get up for a game, it says something about the player. It’s their job to be up, it’s a non negotiable. Why the inconsistency? You have to consider the impact of the opposition. If they match our intensity around the footy, ...

Re: Brad Scott to be announced as Saints coach in August
Agree they will head hunt, but the Board is responsible for running a multi million dollar business and not a regional tin shed footy club. CYA is required to show all stakeholders (AFL, current listed players,Saints members, supporters and sponsors) that the right person has been screened and selec...

Doubt it.
The club will be approaching people. ie Head hunting.
It is not like a candidate can come in from the blue. They know of everyone that would be suitable.

Re: Brad Scott to be announced as Saints coach in August
The Board must first get coaching applications from interested potential applicants. The question is who is available and/or out of contract? Who would have the ability to repair a damaged list, with all its injury issues and a playing list that hasn't been sufficiently disciplined in adhering to on...

Re: Another perspective?
:) A most interesting OP TTT :D For what it's worth, I've been dismayed at the way in which our opponents (not just Norf yesterday) always have players available to take a pass (whether by foot or by hand) Always appear to have time and space, and regularly carve ways through into our defensive fif...

Re: Rowan Marshall #1 ranked player in AFL since rnd 11
He (Marshall) needs another tall player to help out around the ground. What we lack is another tall to contest when we frequently bomb the ball out of defence. Note the Lions game, Martin and Oscar had a very good second half, with Marshall under pressure competing with them. We look slow and disorg...

Re: Not a bad effort v Eagles
Josh Battle was superb and just getting better every game - he's the big plus for me tonight Agree, he has been a stand out this year, the only one of our young guns that is firing consistently. I wonder how he would go up forward, again we scored only 10 goals and badly need some height and footy ...

Re: We have the current worst injury list in the AFL
This time last year Collingwood had the longest injury list in the comp. They were 9th at 4-3. Many said they lacked depth and few rated them a finals chance. Play the hand you're dealt, find a way. It can be done. If you're good enough to be on an AFL list then you have the ability to perform at t...

Re: Same forward line entries
I've been to both interstate games this year.In total the Saints have kicked, in the combined first quarters, 3 goals 2 behinds against our opponents total 11 goals 4 behinds. This is not acceptable and shows that we are uncompetitive away from Melbourne. This has been an underlying theme for some y...

Re: VFL Rd 3 Zebras Vs Seagulls ( Williamstown)
Grundy is an even bigger asset than Marshall .... and he has been going it alone. Marshall will holler for help when he needs it.... and there are enough players to relieve him so he can take a breather during the game (like Acres, Membrey). We need as many runners as we can muster ... our game has...

Re: Marshall
7 clearances. Ben got one. Ceglar got one. Combined they got more than double Ro's hitouts but we won the clearances by plenty and he had a big hand in that. He's an extra mid and is mobile as all heck. Quite seriously I have not seen a ruckman like quite like him. He can handle the body work and i...

Re: Dunstan to Blues
I rate him. Plays for the team not individual glory. All great teams have players like Luke. Typical Saints to look at his weaknesses rather than his strengths. I hope we keep him because he has been used incorrectly and undervalued IMHO. If we trade him then it better be with Ratten’s blessing! He...
