MRP has no idea
Apparently Dan Hannebury cleared - the only bump of the recent high profile spate of bumps in the news that could have led to serious injury - Hurley hit on the vertex (top of the head) with head down and neck flexed and they apparently have no concerns. This was the Neil Sachse/Michael Long type hi...

should ban duration reflect posting frequency?
Is a 1 month ban for a frequent poster disproportionate - too hard; and for an infrequent poster too little?????????

Re: Match v Port March 8 at Alberton
Another who was there- Hickey was one reason we won the clearances, great tap work. Dropped a few marks but gets to the contest and will get better. We have a good one in Dunstan, Wright and Webster again show that they will be great for us. Stanley has a great leap and did well I thought when in th...

Re: For the first time, I felt ambivalence RE my membership
Not one of us who frequents this board, even those who rarely post, will stop supporting the saints. For many of us, those who have followed this club for decades anyway, have bequeathed to our children winters of hope and anguish (particularly recently). How can we disappoint them? Yes, the sport i...

Re: coach selection panels a joke - Harves for me
Some simple facts: harves has made his coaching intentions clear, he has worked his butt off outside the club, he is now a senior assistant coach and joins the list of all the others already mentioned in roles similar to senior assistant. This includes Williams. For those with short memories William...

If we accept, as s/o with more smarts than a/o on here once said, that trying to solve your problems with the same way of thinking that created the problems is pretty stupid, and that if the so called expert coach selection panels have a success rate no more than 50% of the time which is what recent...

coach selection panels a joke - Harves for me
The fashion of forming coach selection panels, forming criterion based check lists and then selecting the one who ticks the most boxes must now be discredited. How many recent appointments/sackings, and we have had our share, have failed to identify the one essential in a coach- you must be able to ...

Re: Keep Dal At Saints Campaign
The draft is still a lottery- look at Jack Watts, the # 1 for Gods sake and looking like he will never really live up to it. In Nick we have a class player, who wants to play for us and his mates, who is worth his place in the side for years to come and who is another voice the young players will he...

the Selwood rule??
Will we see , much like the rule change that stopped players like Kevin Bartlett bounce the ball moments before being tackled, a re-interpretation of the high tackle rule? If, by the raising of your arm you contribute to the high contact, then , much like the ducking the head notion, it is play on. ...

what to make of the intangibles?
Great teams have great players - Geelong recently. Great players sometimes make almost great teams -Geelong of the 90's, the wonderful StKilda sides of the recent past. What is the difference? OK maybe for us not enough great players. There is a real but hard to define difference between a great tea...

Re: Keep Dal At Saints Campaign
Con, it is not the difficulty in letting go of our old stars ( I for one do not begrudge BJ in leaving), it is in pushing them to go when they wish to stay. It is entirely unreasonable for loyalty to be a one way street- the player owes it to the club but the club representing us, the supporters, do...

Re: Keep Dal At Saints Campaign
Its a schizophrenic thing, loyalty. Must go both ways. You can hardly expect players to sign on and punish themselves for each other and also for us season after season, to play for the jumper and the coach and to stay even when others with more money come calling if that service, sacrifice and comm...

Simpkin will be kept. And should be. He reminds me a little of Scarlett. Hits hard, you know he is around and has skill. Too early to pass him on.

Thanks to Ross Lyon
Figure we owe a little to the man as following his selections it let our senior players send off three of their own in style. They clearly enjoyed the game and did their best to give Kosi, Milney and Blake a game to remember. It may take Kosi a while to live down being outscored by Blakey! That said...

My memories as a saints fan for more years than I care to remember- 2005 and early 2006 until the infamous bump was of one of the most remarkable series of games ever by a bigman.
