We would get Menzers for nothing basically. Put him on 250k for 3 years which offers security and he would be ours. Menzers would kick around 25-30 goals a year. Chris Scott indicated last night that Menzel's base pay was $180k but he then had a package of incentives on top of that. Menzel's total ...

The list of players the Saints are being linked to so far is generally underwhelming. I hope Mr. Lethlean is good with smokescreens and/or is devilishly clever in messing with other club's caps to shake loose our real targets.

I wonder if this sort of discussion happened before the Essendon game or during training last week. Richo to Nate Brown; "I want to see you being strong in the contests Nate. Hughy is breathing down your neck and he's just waiting for an opportunity. If Hugh continues his form I'll have to pla...

Spent the preseason injured and has been playing with a shoulder all season.

Haven't the coaching staff learnt from their past mistakes playing injured players? Seems not.

His half-hearted "chase" as McDonald-Tipungwuti ran into goal was not a good example to set for the younger players. OK, the Bomber is quick but that is not a reason to stop trying to apply pressure.

Hang on just a minute... Richardson publicly stated "we got that wrong" after that game, in relation to not enough numbers ahead of the ball. So the pigheadedness and refusal to change referred to here is not entirely accurate (although the same problem has bobbed up in other games, I con...

North have been attempting to throw pots of money around as well and they have performed significantly better on-field yet haven't landed a big fish either (although the Higgins recruitment has been a winner).

Kidnapping is starting to look like a plan

As Roger Waters once sang: “I have become.....comfortably numb” I honestly felt, in almost twenty years a member of the St Kilda footy club, that I’d never reach a stage where I felt like giving it away......... but in the wake of THAT display, feel as though I’m DONE. Never thought I would see the...

Would be doubtful that the Saints would be able to afford even half that lot.

afl.com (today): "The Saints set shot scoring accuracy of 53 per cent is the lowest of any side in the AFL and seven per cent below the league average." This has been one of the major disappointments of the season for me and I hope Dixon is paid according to results. On that basis he shou...

All the best for the future Koby. Hoping that the concussion issues go away ASAP so that Koby can move onto the other things in life that he wants to achieve.

if there was karma the afl would have done a full investigation and stripped the 95 flag from them. gutless. Correct. They cheated. Was quite clear they cheated. At least the NRL had the balls to strip Storm. Not so sure about the NRL having balls. as i recall it, Storm werent on their own, Manly c...

If Kingsley is driving match day from the box he is not doing his CV much good if he wants to win a senior coaching position down the track.

CarlD

For a team that was supposed to come out swinging, according to the coach at a presser earlier in the week, what was delivered was beyond disappointing. The match should have meant something to the club (Maddie's Vision) and it made the performance even more dispiriting.

CarlD

He did need a few beers to get through the interview

I can see Tex Walker and that Dixon bloke rag-dolling a few of our makeshift key backs, whoever they may be.

You were right with the Charlie Dixon part Loris - he's their fairly hefty lad!

Tex Walker? What have you been up to this afternoon Loris?

Suspect it mightn't work so well against the good running sides but at least it looked like there was a plan today and it came off.

Preface to comments: I watched the SA vs Allies match on TV yesterday - it is the first time I have seen Lukosious play. Good in the first quarter, disappeared in the second when the Allies made a run. Got a few kicks at the start of the third and then when quiet again. Left with the disturbing impr...

You hear some weird things in football but that comment from Richo is just very odd (I am assuming he was quoted correctly). Why would a team give up a season on the back of one poor quarter in the second game?

That one line says more about the leadership and coaching than anything else.

The Herald Sun understands the Saints completed a significant review last off-season and felt they had made meaningful changes" Struggling to comprehend that the changes made have been meaningful. I assume they meant changes to on-field performance given the not so hot end to last season. I mu...

You could understand it if the Saints had a crack from the start but faded against a more seasoned team, but to not give a yelp from the beginning …

Going out on a limb here but I'm suspecting that while Hickey is off the ground we will not contest in the ruck. :wink: Does beg the question what happens if both teams decide not to nominate a ruckman. Does the umpire stamp his foot until one side caves? Does he penalise the first person who touche...

And the relief ruckman is?
