Re: Hanneberry done

Since Hanners doesn't have a specific injury and is just being managed to get through his arduous season, I suggest that his farewell game will be against the Swans next week, where he can wave goodbye to all of the fans (Swans fans that is). Then he can go down the race with his team mates (Swans) ...

Re: Winning season - GREAT SUCCESS ?

Your wife, not so much! Seriously though, I had us finishing with 12 wins before the season with a fairly tough draw. I think we will still get there with a hard fought win against Brisbane this week, but fall at the final hurdle in the final game of the home home and away season against Sydney. Rem...

Re: Predictions this Round

We were the last team to beat them this season, albeit at Docklands. Also let's not forget that we led the pussies by 5 goals early down there late last year. Even under Richo in his death throws back in 2019 we led them down there by a kick at half time. So we can compete with them, despite the ven...

Re: St Kilda's Cunning Plan

We don't need to tank to finish 13th, because we aren't much good, but West Coast will be motivated to tank for pick 1 after the Roos great win yesterday.

Re: Mason Wood vs Jack Newnes on the wing..

Here's the thing about players like Wood, he makes mistakes and he's not a flag type player, he's a role player, he's a depth player but if he doesn't play last night and a skinny kid who's not up to it plays...we lose. Now that may upset the supporters who believe losing is better as long as you p...

Re: Illogical to sack the coach

This year is getting a whiff of 2017 about it. The coach overachieved in the first half of rhe season, so we rush into reappointment discussions with him. No sooner does this mentality develop, then the senior players go on auto pilot and think they have been doing enough. Mediocrity soon spreads th...

Re: The Saints Will Win a Flag.....

After Friday night's pathetic capitulation to a bottom side, we should be no better than even money to beat the Eagles and Hawks with all other games being certain losses. That will make for another 10 win/10th place season of mediocrity. I'm seriously considering moving to the Gold Coast and suppor...

Re: Sam Fisher story in Herald Sun

David Parkin was right years ago when he said that good footballers got to where they are in the game by taking risks and that ability alone wasn't enough to succeed. Once they leave the game, the risk-taking behaviour that got the most out of their ability needs to be channelled in the the right di...

Re: VFL R9 Carlton v Sandy

I don't understand all of the criticism of Allison.
He looks like a versatile prospect forward or back.
He has taken a couple of great contested marks ala Sharman and could have kicked 4-5 goals so far.

Re: Sliding doors. Can one be All Australian without being classed as elite

Funny what qualifies as elite. When I watched us lose unexpectedly to the Dees in the first round of 2017 I looked at who in our team stood out as potential elite game-changing forwards. Number 12 and number 22 stood out like no others. Gresham in his second season and Riewoldt in his last were a cl...

Re: Do we need to talk about Cooper?

He just needs to put on 5kg like King.
He will make it based on natural ability.
Others are ahead of him.
Hayes is not like for like for Sharman.
Resting rucks and Membrey are better right now.

Oops I just double checked the quarter by quarter scores and you're right St.Peter.
I should never have questioned your stats, especially at Easter!
Our second halfs have been strong so far, even in the Pies game, despite poor goalkicking then.

The Saints have now won their last 10 quarters! I am not sure of previous stats but I think it would be a long time since we have done this. We lost the second quarter to the Suns by two points, but would have won it if King and Membrey had kicked their easy set shot snaps. TBH I was underwhelmed b...

Re: Tim Watson said seven starting Saints are missing vs Pies. Who are they?

Harsh critique I assume for the article… Hannebery (lol) Coffield Geary? Coffield's form last year does not warrant selection. Geary and Hanneberry's bodies prevent them from being automatic starters who get plenty of game time, particularly Hanneberry. Both of them, plus Ryder and Ross are on thei...
