Re: On The Couch tonight is a must watch

I'd like to add that my original post was to point out that regardless of how talented a team is fans just want to see relentless effort. A handful put in for 4 quarters and the rest come and go. I didn't mention names or coaches. The minimum requirement for the rest of the season should be to put i...

On The Couch tonight is a must watch

Lyon, Brown and Jordan Lewis were spot on tonight. Our problem is effort, care factor and love for your team mates. We are not a happy cohesive group. That was our home game and our team as a whole just had to put in for 4 quarters, get around each other and intimidate the opposition.. we didn't. I ...

Re: Can't take a trick...

We just have to win this one ! No Robbie Gray to torment us. No Dixon to bring the ball to ground for Rioli. Tag Butters and JHF and they're nothing. We owe this club big time and it would be fitting if we destroy their season. Go Sainters !

Re: A shout out to the Warriors!

Great post. We are the most loyal supporters and we all come on this forum for the same reason. Despite living in SA my family and my best friend's family all still support this club and we can't stand the Crows and Port. We're really frustrated but we will always continue to support them no matter ...

Why the young list disconnection ?

Errol Gulden as a 21yo going around checking on senior players, young Pies Daicos and Moore walking up the race absolutely pumped before a game, I hate to say it but Jack Ginnivan with great vibes with his team mates. Our youngsters looked stressed ? Not blaming anyone just think we need to try some...

Re: Team vs Freo (Walyalup)

With Higgins and Butler out I was surprised we didn't pick Collard. How do we know if he has X-factor if we don't play him. He knows how to kick a goal, something we need. If he gets a fair go at Marvel it might be the start of something....

Re: I'm happy the Saints are being baked by the media

I read a lot of everyone else's posts. Maybe I'm a good listener. If you read my posts you'll notice I've never had a go at another Saints fan. Thanks for the stats update, I'll try and improve my input ..... hopefully the Sainters do as well :D

I'm happy the Saints are being baked by the media

Just like the Bulldogs were before we played them. They need a rocket so hopefully they respond. Too many walking around like rock stars but they haven't achieved anything yet. Play 4 quarters of intensity, it's your job. Stop picking and choosing when to try. They owe it to the most loyal supporter...

Re: Do you enjoy supporting the Saints?

My wife doesn't enjoy me supporting the Saints. It controls my mood for the weekend. She can tell when we lose. Today is Mothers Day so I'm trying hard to be upbeat. Following this team has now become an obsession, for 55 years I've been asking "when is it our turn ?" My best mate, my brot...

Re: Mid season draft

Kobe Ryan from West Adelaide. Midfielder who knows how to find the pill and is a competitive animal. Would be leading the Magarey medal this year. I'm a bit biased, I watched him star in my son's team since auskick. He is the nephew of James Gallagher so you'd think we'd be looking at him. A great k...

Re: Membrey should have been subbed off, Not Hayes!

We just look like a team that doesn't care, a bunch of head droppers !! Is it the leaders, is it the coaches or is it the game plan ? There is no excitement, enthusiasm or fun ???? Time to make big changes and take the hand brake off. Stuff team defence, it hasn't worked ( the ball still goes coast ...

Re: Team v Roos

Are we a bit too tall ? Both our small forwards are out so I thought Collard would come in. The ball might come out of our forward half too easily (like usual) if it hits the deck. I love Hayes but his selection says Marshall is missing ??

Re: Match thread Saints v Dogs

RTB thanks for the coaching on tackling and team defence.... here's a tip. If we get the ball first we don't need those skills. It's a simple game. See ball. Get ball. See big sticks, kick between them.

Is this really happening? Not one Saint is worthy of a mention. The rabble bulldog players like Lobb, Naughton look like superstars. Something is wrong internally at our club.

I can't believe how bad our record is at the tribunal. For years I've been saying our lawyer is the guy out of The Castle.... I know he finally got a new photocopier but he's still useless !!!!! The vibe just doesn't work any more.

Re: Crouch out over 1 month - Knee

We're starting to have depth now. The first 5 games last year exposed some kids and our recruiting has been good. We can cover all these injuries now, the only one I'm worried about covering is Marshall until Hayes is back. Don't rush these injured players back and they'll be cherry ripe for the mos...
