Re: More classic games on Fox Footy

Watching that Collingwood game this afternoon just showed how much of a tragedy it was to lose Everitt in that first final. He could have been the difference in the result of that game as he was on fire that season and too much was left to Loewe in that final and made it easy for Adelaide to cover h...

Re: Saints petition !

Let's be honest, the only way to really stick it to Essendon is to have Carlisle play to his potential and ability next year and for once have another club talking about the trade where they got the short end of the stick. We also stick it to them by having Carlisle being a member of our next premie...

Re: VFL Semi FInal- Sandringham Vs Pies - Game Day

Will they get any players back like Goddard, Lee etc next week. Know Membrey is gone because of surgery. Good to win a final.
Where is the Grand Final being held, at Etihad? I'll be in the U.S. when it happens.

Maybe not finals, but the beginning of the end of Hawthorn's reign and if Fremantle don't, premiership window closed.

Re: Jake Carlisle

Carlisle's decision will be purely based on remuneration, despite what may or may not be said. The Saints won't pay overs for him in terms of trade value or contract. That probably says as much about Carlisle as anything else. But, don't be too disappointed if we miss out. There's another Victorian...

Re: Coaching refresh needed>

Sort of think Hammill had a bit to do with Bruce kicking 50 goals this year, plus not having Billings for a good part of the season hasn't helped our forward structure. He showed what he is capable of in that win against Bulldogs. From what has been reported, Schneider has a really good football bra...

Re: Jake Carlisle

Midfielders are easier to find than KPP's. He is the right age and matched with Goddard that gives us a pretty awesome (potentially) spine of Carlisle, Goddard, Dunstan, Bruce and McCartin, all with 10 years at least in front of them. You can build a pretty decent team around that if they live up to...

Re: Seaso Review:

Think Markworth might be given another year due to his misfortune with injury.
Saad maybe let go as well.
Other than that, agree with everything, though the other negative would have been a very disappointing last 2 rounds after such a promising year.

Re: When should St Kilda attack Free Agency?

First question, who is actually up as a free agent. We would want someone who can give us 100 games right now.
We don't need top up players, though depth, which we can trade for and use draft for are worth having.

Re: The 7 Stages of Grief

Actually at relief that the seasons over and the last two weeks actually didn't happen, denial.
looking forward to trade period and draft to see what we can do to win a couple of more games next year and not get flogged again for a very long time like the last 2 weeks.

First time since the G Train that our leading goal kicker wasn't Roo or Milney.

Re: 8 goals in 8 quarters

Agreed, a very poor finish to an otherwise good season.
I said last week that we played exactly how Sydney wanted us to play and we fell for it again tonight.
Glad it's over, hopefully next year we can eliminate these performances from our repertoire.

Re: Match thread v Eagles

What a crap way to finish off what was a promising season with two successive 90+ point defeats. While there isn't any doubt that West Coast are a much better team than us right now, I do agree with others about the umpires and again it's not what they paid, it is what wasn't paid to us, we should h...

Re: Last win against WCE at Subi

We might get an all mighty shellacking today. Hopefully not! Actually don't think we'll get done to badly. reckon West Coast will simply do what they need to do to win, don't want to risk any injuries especially when they have Hawthorn next week. Probably be one big burst that will seal it for them.

Anyone but Freo or the Swans. I hate but have to admire the Hawks, West Coast well don't really care, actually don't want the Bulldogs to get ahead of us.

this was our first real smashing of the year. Even in our 10 goal losses we were competitive for some of the game. We have a much higher percentage than last year. I expected at best 5 wins, so for me we have finished better than expected. Just want to see them compete next week but West Coasts big ...

Re: Schneider calls stumps

Thanks for your service Adam, always enjoyed watching you play and yes you should have got that free kick.
Mind you bet RL is happy were playing them this week based on what's happened the last two seasons when stellar players announce their retirement.
Let's hope we can do the same to Sydney.
