Re: Positives!
Agree both Brown and Carlisle looked good at the back, with Roberton very good as the third tall. Would be great to see them perform as well next week against the Pies.

Re: Billings and mccartin
Both lads the subject of this thread were very disappointing today, primarily with their lack of effort. Irrespective of where they were picked in the draft ( which is not their fault ), they did not contribute to the team performance today. No second efforts, no gut running. I get no joy from sayin...

Votes v Lions round 3
There has been a fair bit of chat here about those who did not perform, so I am happy to start voting for those who did. 5. Nick Riewoldt. Keeps producing again and again. 4. Leigh Montagna . Great user of the ball. 3. Dylan Roberton. Broke lines well. Gain a lot of metres. Not perfect, but I think ...

Re: For what it's worth

Re: Player Sponsorship 2017
Thanks again Kos for the voucher . About the only highlight I had on Saturday was feeling very on-trend with my new Saints polo! I also stumped up a bit extra and bought a jacket , but wisely left that at home given the oppressive weather - geez it was humid up on level 3 !

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 1 2017
I agree with you re defence positioning, Skeptic . It is surprising how much room we are giving them, standing 20 metres in front of them.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 1 2017
The answer to Lonie's selection may be at page 32 of the Footy Record. Last year ranked 1 at Saints and 6 in AFL for forward half pressure acts per game. The stuff Richo loves.

Re: Tony Lockett on TFS tonight
1989 was his best chance. Would have smashed it that year as well as other years. He was the best footballer I have ever seen even though Gary Ablett Snr could play in more positions. He is an intelligent man, wise and street smart. He plays himself down as a person and as a footballer that's his w...

Re: Round 1 Selections: Who misses out?
Excellent post, SR When I picked "my" team before JLT, I had McKenzie ahead of Webster, but agree Jimmy has gone ahead. I also had Dempster as a lock , but not so sure now. With Jack Billings seemingly playing behind the ball, perhaps Sean will keep his spot, but agree that maybe it will b...

Re: Happy 51st Birthday to Plugger!
My favourite of so many highlights was the day at Moorabbin he topped the ton for the first time , in 1987. He started the day with 93, his 100th put us in front, the opposition ( NM or Dogs, I think ) kicked one to snatch back the lead, and then his 8th won us the game. A very close second was the ...

Re: Former Saint not in the best health
George was my idol as well- hence the name I use on this forum. I too had 27 on my duffle coat. Once he started playing full forward ( in 1975 when he was ill so Yabby put him in the goal square ) I used to follow him each quarter, standing behind the goals at the end we were kicking too- just behin...

Re: Intra club - Thurs 16th 5 pm
Hickey: (played for Sandy) he dominated around the ground and smashed Longer. I saw it differently. Sandy had the better of the Saints in the first quarter, when Longer was their ruckman and giving them drive from the ruck contests. So at quarter time they swapped Longer and Hickey around, and then...

Re: Practice match line up
John Manzie from that earlier match went onto become an excellent wingman for the Saints. Pat Flaherty ( on the right hand list ) became a legend of the Dandenong club, at HFF working beautifully with FF Frosty Miller. I assume P Murphy was Paddy Murphy who played one senior game later that year. Th...
