Sure does,2010 GF smother still sticks in the craw.
Although he be a ripper for us.
I'm sure will run Collingwood back into form...

Well I luv the saints as much as anyone,but we might just get the suitcase belted out of us this week. There bigger bodied,run harder,and a tad better with the foot skills. Cloke and Lynch will worry us, there mids are good. Hope Kosi plays,least we can blame him,,,,,,lol Listening to SW is always a...

Good post Greg. But I am watching Lyon at Freo with interest - they will lose Sandilands, Mcpharlin, Pav's getting on (been v lucky injury wise till now).......sure, has some good mids......but those are KPP and hard to replace. Ross willhave to either develop OR go shopping. I expect Freo to make ...

Read the players talked about in this thread and the lineups that were posted by a couple and there was one big omission that I think was one of the real important parts of our dramatic improvement in 2009...Mr Michael Gardiner. Gee we had an awesome ruck combo in 2009. Arguably the best in the clu...

I would have thought after the 2010 season that The St.k board would have moved quickly to ensure the continued success of the club. Maybe there was truth in the fact that the perception was the club was playing ugly footy, But I certainly remember how awesome it was winning 19 straight,keeping the ...

Here here good comment

I am looking forward to the book will be great read. I suppose if you look back over the last 15 years most of what happens at the saints Seems bizarre. Maybe Ross was burnt out needed cash,has enough etc etc. 2 losing grand finals and all the other stuff dished out at our footy club took its toll. ...

If he's right,straight in,in our best 18 I reckon,can kick out ok from full back ,may need a run ?

SW seems to say the same lines over and over. The heat will turn up as the excuses for losses run out. See how handles it then.maybe he will be ok for transition only. Players never like hard task masters ,as Ross was,but he squeezed the best out of them. Grant T is the consummate media performer.gr...

I think he's been a pick up for the club,,just don't know if he,ll end up Like Milney,or being a gun
At least he takes the heat off Kosi for a whole in the head kicking stakes......

Maybe at the end of the year,give him 200,he deserves that.
Still reckon he's a problem for other clubs ,tall,grat mark.
I,for one,will miss him when he goes......the Kos man cometh....

Considering how bad port was last year ,what an amazing turn around. Hinkley is what the dr ordered for them. He has structured them well and got them fit. He obviously has the footy smarts about him and knows his players already Interesting to see whether the saints should have taken him on board ,...

The team has been poorly prepared and coached to date - you think the coaching group would have learnt something after the tardy start last year but obviously not! So for me it is a very disappointing start and IMO it won't get much better ! Fair comment. Im not sure how to rate SW and the other co...

Ha ha priceless

the trend has been there so if this was our "bottom" year then great.........Im not sure it is yet though......even Thurs 2 ageing stars played huge roles in getting us that close...next year could be worse!! Hayes goes I do fear we will enter a period of real up/down performances cause n...

The one thing for sure is that Lenny still has alot to offer either as a player or mentor.
As the next few seasons will see a lot of our champs leave ,it will be critical for him
To pass on his experience to our younger core.
He would know them better than anyone .
Would not like to see him leave .

Yea so true,
Just can't Stand Richmond above us,was wrapped they got robbed on Friday

Certainly thought we d be slightly better than 14th at this stage of the year. Could of / should have wins against GC & Tigers . Next 3 weeks Coll,Carlton Adelaide ,not looking forward to them Great test for the kids and character of the senior players. They must stand firm or its 1-7 Thoughts.....

Just hope we can have a better team balance.
Coll will be on the rampage and not looking to do us any favors.
Next three weeks arent looking to flash.
Great chance for the young blokes to show something against quality.

I hope he gets to 200. I really do. It would just be a good for the club as a whole. Kosi, the club and the supporters have been through a lot together. And there is no denying he loves us all. He certainly deserves 200 and has worked hard to achieve this. He certainly divides opinion,but we have h...

Ive always thought having Kosi (hopefully fitter) would always pose a problem for the opposition cause of his height and marking ability.He can kick straight as well. Certainly give our crumbers more of a go.... He s not fast anymore,but a bigger player will always have to take him.... Food for thou...

Jobe watson...turns games on his own..
Jeremy Howe....can take a grab.....

Great Captain,leader and inspiration to the club.
Just never stops competing.
And has done this for many years...Go Rooey
