Kosi is not a key forward IMO. Needs to play on the ball or as a CHB. Previous administration tried to get him involved in the game when having a slow patch. Maybe previous administration understood player better?

One Shocker of a goal umpiring decision.

Oh yes, come on down Scott McLaren. Point the wrong way and then while all players are running to the Saints end, point the other way.

To think that I thought Razor Ray would be the one.

Kosi is not the problem. He gives his all. Good post Steph. Ball delivery from downfield is, however, just a wee bit of a problem at the minute.

I guess like everyone else. Disappointed. Confused. Frustrated. I imagine the players are feeling the same Oh the poor players...how terrible for them :roll: :roll: How come the same group of 3 or 4 players (e.g. harvs), play well consistently under RL, GT or whoever the senior coach is? Maybe that...

Agreed.

Fonz has lost the point of it all. The club is what it is all about. Egos and private agendas is killing the club.

The under performance of a team that unitl 18 months ago was competitive week in and week out is not only soul destroying as a supporter but must be gut wrenching for GT to watch. The indictment on the St.Kilda football club is that once again off field issues (GT and Butterss) have caused almost ir...

We continually berate our misfielders about not kicking goals. He said he made a mistake in his choice of kick. If he had of kicked the goal we would be still lauding him as genious

When is the jury firmly in?

You win a flag and you are safe for the next year and that is about all.

It is all about results

Handled himself well

Good post but will a win against a young Demons side prove much at all? Personally I'm be p1ssed off if a hard & tough St.Kilda side comes out when they haven't bothered to show up for the first 9 weeks. What an indictment on the characters of some players if that is the case. The jury is out f...

Strength through Loyalty Courage under Fire For what it is worth we will see where our team is at this weekend. It has been a funny week for me as a long time Saints supporter. Anger for a start, embarrasment at our pres, pride in our captain, and finally a bit of resolve that things can change. To ...

What about just a big picture of Harves and underneath it - Can you look this man in the eye and say you are giving 100%

Agreed, See my post from yesterday Posted: Sun 25 May 2008 7:19pm Post subject: The missing element - passion -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just saw the end of the Kangaroos v Bulldogs game and I saw what is missing the Saints.

3/ it isn't enough to have Lenny, Ball and CJ putting their bodies on the line in the contested possessions. All the players need to bleed for it. You are right here, this has been a problem for a long time. Ball and Hayes have become extractor type players a lot of the time. They need other player...

I have found it somewhat interesting over the last year and a half to observe the atmosphere at the Dome when we play. Has anyone else noticed how different it is compared to the years before? Our gameplan not only is backfiring on the field but the lack of atmosphere created by the fans is an incre...

Buckets,

Agree with most of your thoughts.

Scarily enough if Melbourne play with the same spirit as they did yesterday they will beat us.

The list was going backwards if Gt was still here we would be in the same position. Ross will be a good coach like u said lets give it some time Rome wasn't built in a day. While I agree that the list went backwards under GT I believe that GT was starting to make the decisions that needed to be mad...

I am not going interchange steward. Too hard!

No passion..No real goers.. no f*%$ing hope without it. Would any of these players really risk their own positions in the team for the good of the club. Besides the obvious I reckon they're all in it for themselves. ANd at the end of the day I b lame the 'knobs' at our club whoreally believed a new...

It is not about giving a spray. I should have gone into it further. GT did not have to go and blast players for them to get the message. He was passionate about the club, the game and the players and it showed. It must be hard for a guy coming from another club and try to find passion for a place th...

Buckets, I have always been skeptical to blame the coach but at the moment I see a team that has very little passion. Some players will never need a coach to rally there natural instincts to play at their best but it is fact of human nature that some do. Having a dead wet fish coming out at quarter ...

I just saw the end of the Kangaroos v Bulldogs game and I saw what is missing the Saints.

PASSION

Dean Laidley obviously loves the club and the players and by the looks the players love Him.

Have a good look Saints

P A S S I O N

No!

He is a good player in a good team but, at the moment, we are not a good team, we need players willing to give up everything to win a game of footy. He is not that.

Shoot me if you must but BJ has been a victim of the Saints not having a strong backline. He was never able to find a position that truly suited him but before his injury he was blossoming into an awesome talent of half back. I believe given a stronger backline in the last few years he would have be...
