He was walking a dog in Moorabbin and had a noticeable wrap on lower left leg. No limping from dog but Hind seemed tender.

If my memory is not playing tricks Carlisle’s attempts to repair a back injury by various means were not successful hence he was forced to surgery which kept him on the sidelines until the latter half of the season If you play you are deemed fit but most obviously Carlisle was working himself back ...

Firstly, The King...he was played a bit deep and struggled to get into the marking contest. This takes increased size and experience, but he never stopped giving effort which eventuated in him kicking a goal from receiving a free kick in the contest. I was getting worried the coach would leave him a...

I was impressed with Abbott in the last quarter.Took the bloody commentators about 15 minutes to realise he was playing though What exactly did he do to impress you? I just rewatched the 4th...Abbott not only wins the hitouts, he consistently taps to advantage, to be honest....he was better than Ry...

So if not Geary.....then who? Who has been at the club long enough, who carries the spirit and culture of the club, who trains and performs 100% , who keeps his personal life tidy and has the respect of the players, who is the one players stop and listen to? I guess the next best option is Ross. But...

I don't understand it Can't you see? My kids played Auskick, all 5. The 4 girls and my son with disabilities. The girls were good, damn mean ferrets that would gnaw your fecking face off for the ball. I had to do with Level 1 Coaching so I could "coach" and try to harness their ferocity. N...

He'd probably have about the same amount of listeners. Seriously, it's really bland mate. I listen regardless but it's rough.

I'm glad we got our slice and finally have a Women's AFL team! About time! I'm not blind though, it's the same game played at a different level. I'm okay with that. We can't compare it to elite men's games just as we can't compare a local club to elite men. It's going to get better and eventually be...

I'm that guy that can miss 110% of the shots I don't take.

SAINT-LEE

I'm interested in this idea of a seasoned mid/medium forward who can kick 40 goals pretty easily... but I think he'd have a big price tag.

Also, he was very inaccurate in front of goals in 2019 but still averaged 2 goals a game.

Do we need him?

Who does he replace?

SAINT-LEE

I honestly would trade goals for a full season....He plays every game and stays healthy, that's worth 50 goals.

It will be challenging on China, no doubt. But American sports are investing 100's millions in China and some sports have a 20 year plan already. Basketball. It's not as global as other sports but it is played a lot. The NBA is investing heavily and reaping rewards. Baseball is also investing heavil...

If the club is after fans they should chase Shanghai not Auckland. With a population just under 25 million and about double that within 100 km of the city, you only have to chase fractions of a percent oF the population recruiting fans to make it worthwhile. Chasing Auckland market share of sports ...

" Lots of "true" Saints can't recall a song we sang at full tilt every week half pissed and ankle deep in mud, whilst getting belted mercilessly by everyone week after week, season after season." Quote from my father in law when I mentioned this song to him. He said it was late 7...

I'm interested as to how people know what sort of leaders these players are. No idea how anyone would know that we have huge leadership void either. instead of taking a potshot can you attest to knowledge as to other worthy alternatives I would think the dearth of replacements in senior ranks is pr...

Captaincy is 85% about who leads the lads in rooms, practice and in actions. Geary has always been a decent player not elite. However, his effort is 100% everytime he sets foot on the grounds. That said, it is time for him. I wish he would pull the plug. I wanted Reiwoldt to pull the plug and nomina...

If we get the club culture right and get winning seasons we will attract young stars ( that some other club paid to develop). Trading in players that have 2-4 years of upside (some have more) is a gamble but no more than any draft. Drafts alone as some type of fix all or security for the future is p...

SAINT-LEE

Not sure it’s a guessing game Most of these kids have been tracked from u15s The stats indicate that most clubs and draft experts get it right nowadays Then why do we suck at it? I guess we aren't most clubs. We have some recent decent picks but the past 10 yrs is overwhelmingly poor, which is what...

The bottom line is the club must do their due diligence in every aspect of any recruits life. Paddy - I reckon Saints plus many more failed to understand the "what ifs" with his physical condition, not because diabetes CAUSES susceptibility to concussion, but once a concussion occurs it in...
