Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns
The umpire awarded the free, like he has many times previously and yet McBurney, having watched it in replay and from several angles reckons he shouldn't have. That's what I call throwing your employee under the bus. All he needed to say was that he could understand why it was awarded. He's just try...

Re: RTB's Presser
So far this season we've lost six games. Five of them by a combined 28 points (on average less than a goal a gaame). It has cost us 20 points on the ladder, we should be sitting joint top with Sydney. Ross seems to think that the runners are the problem because he can't get his messages through (He'...

Re: Finals Week 1 scenarios
And it all comes down to nothing as we don't get a home ground game. Why is the AFL hell bent on changing the rules at every turn for St Kilda. They didn't change the score for the Adelaide game but managed to change a score for one of our games many years ago.

Re: In for next week against Rooboys - Four at least
It really doesn't matter who comes in or who goes out, Ross has given up on developing any sort of progress in the team when he acknowledges in his press conference that some players have been making mistakes for a long time. I was angry when I heard that because its his job to get rid of errors in ...

Re: Melbourne...wheres the games biggest concern?
With Oliver and Fritz out I'd like to think the coaches can motivate the boys to play like they know how to. This is our Grand Final. If we don't beat the Demons with those two missing we may as well book holidays for September.

Re: Butler 1 week
On the video replay I watched at no time were Butlers arms above his victims shoulders thus high contact is ruled out. It was classed as medium impact which supports the no concussion outcome so now we are down to a footballer being hung, drawn and quartered for careless contact. This would suggest ...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 13 2023
If the AFL is so concerned about head knocks why don't they make helmets mandatory? Just like building sites and motorbikes. It may not stop the injury but it should lessen any damage.

Re: Tasmania- Why a brand new stadium?
Logic would suggest that Tassie uses a current stadium and then, if or when they outgrow it, modify it or build a new structure. Other priorities for funding are far more urgent and the new stadium may not be needed.

Re: Is Caminiti in trouble?
Bikers wear helmets, NFL players wear helmets . both to protect their heads. Why doesn't the AFL make helmets compulsory for everyone. It may not stop concussions but it may reduce the effects with a bit of cushioning. Yes, Murphy should have been 1 0r 2 weeks for starting the incident off the ball.

Re: Is Caminiti in trouble?
How come Murphy doesn't get an invite to the same tribunal? Off the ball - deliberate, high contact, don't know the impact but it should be a couple of weeks. Or is the lesson to be learnt here "Get in first" as the retaliator is the one who gets pinged?

Re: Saints and filth to commemorate Cuz's stand against racism
I'd love to see a re-enactment of the events 30 years ago. We win and Nicky goes across to the filth and sticks it to them like he did back then. I remember applauding when he did it the first time.

Sydney, above us and Essendon below us have played the Hawks and Gold Coast. Whereas we've played Freo and Bulldogs, two of last years finalists. I feel confident of a good win.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 1 2023
This has to bring confidence in the group that when you go on the paddock and put effort into the plan anything is possible. Hopefully we will only improve as we get get our injury list under control. Well done to the boys and the coaching staff. One down 26 to go.

Re: Practice Thread for Practice Match Saints v Bummers 2023
I liked what I saw, the same number of scoring shots with double the score. Improved pressure acts across the paddock. No-one walking round with hands on hips. They all appeared invested in the game and put in a four quarter effort (except the first few minutes). Hopefully we start getting people ba...

Re: It’s very hard to wash your clothes with no detergent
I believe we have the makings of a good team. There were a few games last year when we played footy at the top level and came out on top. Unfortunately, inconsistency was our enemy. I think the remodelled coaching department will demand more from the players and I hope they rise to the challenge. De...
