I think we've been looking at the wrong part of the ground re our big man issues. Going "forward" Marshall and King will be gun ruck forwards, so really as far as rucks go we need a replacement for Ryder in 2023 or so. However, when Marshall is in the ruck, who is out second key forward wi...

So Ratts loves "Hanners" leadership, perhaps we could appoint him as our NON-playing Captain!

No questions about Hannebery so far, are you kidding me?

Well it could be interesting. Good initiative, but.... The guys appearing know what questions we want answered and the format allows them to skate over hard issues if they choose. If its a puff piece, well that's an insult to members and missed opportunity, conversely if its honest journalists will...

I don't think his kicking is all that bad. I don't think many paid attention to Jason Blake, Robert Elphinstone or Jack Daniels. :wink: :D Jack was by far the worst kick we ever had at Moorabbin....and we recruited him twice. I have to atand up for "Jack" there. Daniels actually invented ...

At least it makes a pleasant change from him sticking up for a mate's ex wife!

The wild swing in form from one half to another and even one week to another remind me of another farcical period of Saints history in the mid 80s when we lost by over 100 points for three weeks in a row, but at least then you knew what you were going to get from one week to the next!

When Crouch snapped that fairly easy goal straight after half time I turned to my partner and said "they can't lose from here, they're 6 goals up now and they've (Adelaide) only been able to kick 2 goals in a half". I also remember telling her that we couldn't lose after leading Port by 10...

Enjoy the break Saints.
You've teally earned ot tonight!

PhilNarkle was our Brad Hill of the 80s!

If the Filth beat the smug Dees, workmanlike Dockers and us they will be a game clear ahead of us.

I like their chances of beating Freo and us atm.

He coaches against the Saints in two more matches in Round 16 at the MCG. Now I'm really torn about who to barrack for since the Filth are only 2 wins below us and could rise above us on percentage by then, the way we are going and taking our brutal run home into account. We could end up with a high...

Bytel in for Ross, but who comes in for Membrey?
Perhaps Battle to play his role and King to chop out Ryder in the ruck and get into the play.
Geary also out injured, so Connolly may debut.

So you would keep young Frawley next year?

Suspend it by 8 weeks and we'll have Marshall, Jones, and maybe even Hannebery back. I hope they wait until Gresham, Paton and Carlisle are available too. Maybe re-start after Christmas sometime I notice you didn't include Hannebery in that list. Very wise too, as he won't be fit until 2017! Our dr...

Hall 33 possessions = 2 votes.
Sheed 43 possessions vs Bummers = 1 vote.
I guess possessions don't mean much if your team loses!

Hmmm, Sydney at SCG or Cazaly Stadium in Cairns.
I think the club might prefer the latter!
A fixture swap with our round 21 game at the SCG has been suggested, but if we play them in Cairns it may still be considered to be a home game for us by the AFL.
Thoughts?

The Saints will salute against North as the noise of affirmation will get them over the line (from the Saints Coaches Box)!

This is reminiscent of tound 1 2011.
Thank god Raph Clarke isn't at half back for us tonight.
8 goals will win this, just like last week.

Cats by 149 points, since the tigers beat us by 86 and the cats beat them by 63.

Cement his spot in the side? Although it has taken him a long time to get to 100 gamed, his form this year has been full of merit. Any player who has played this number of games should be a permanent member of the team. I thought Webster and Dunstan had their papers stamped last year, but Jommy has ...

Not worth $500k, time to get Kelly for us.

dit, dit, dit,dit, dit, dit, dit, dit, di, di, dit, dit,dit,dit,dit,dit, di, di, etc, etc!

Tom Lee is tearing it up in the WAFL too and considering a third tilt at an AWFL career!

In case you're wondering AWFL isn't a typo it's shorthand for AWFUL and not disparaging AFLW.
