And when you get a thread that asks people to name their ‘best 22’…most people name Hannas in their team :cry: He won’t play more than 10 games and even if we make finals, he might not get up at seasons end The potential is there for St Kilda to make finals but if we assume that we play to our best ...

Hunter Clark is one of my favourite Saints players. The glimpses that he showed in 2020 and early in 2021 has me excited for what he can offer if he works his bum off and can get a tank to play most of the time as a mid. I think he has the potential to be AA in 2023. He needs to build towards that g...

…… the club steadily lost sight of the clear goal established by Butterss and GT in favour of a short-term preoccupation with winning a premiership asap ….. And the short term preoccupation by Lethlean and co has been to try and make us middle of the road asap Quick fixes and turning over the list ...

Nah…let’s wait and see what happens. We’re gonna win the flag in 2022 or if not 2022….most likely 2023 is our year Just you wait and see… Finnis and Lethlean will be sought after from other AFL clubs…you’ve heard of the dynamic duo right? St kilda’s own Matt and Simon will be called the ‘marvellous ...

The Brad Hill deal sent a message that St Kilda is a club willing to overpay for a player they want . North had nothing to lose and clearly aren’t in need of another 3rd round pick. They are focusing on first and second round picks. It’s also probably about them sending a message to their playing g...

I've not suggested there is a problem at Board level, I just believe it is a good thing to bring in fresh blood from time to time to keep the Board on its toes. A recent report on the path that brought success to Melbourne FC this year listed Board renewal and changes in senior management as key to...

I guess this is fast becoming ancient history. You can’t unring the bell. I guess one thing we can all agree upon is that we are very tired of waiting for a Premiership. I hope I’m wrong but I can’t see us winning one in the near future. Chin up HF. I am confident that our time will come. Gil knows...

Melbourne were hopeless at recruiting year after year. They threw games to get better draft picks then wasted them on spuds. They sacked coaches and replaced them with duds. Even the AFL knew they were a basket case. Roos and Jackson were installed/selected at Melbourne to start the journey of turn...

When Melbourne lost a few late games in the home and away rounds including the game against the Bulldogs in Round 19 a few people started having some doubts. Maybe they were more interested in getting miles into their players legs rather than a few more home and away wins. They turned it around pret...

Careful. You’re softening your tone First he was a super coach …and he was a great match day coach…to now “Lyon was a good coach” Next thing you know you’ll be thinking he was bog average and he should have done better No again *sigh* as others have denoted ad nauseum you don’t read very well I’ve ...

I don’t attack posters who offer different views as long as it’s delivered in a civil manner. I can’t stand over emotional rants that make no sense Really? Could have fooled me You’re either a hypocrite…or perhaps …it’s time for you to put up a mirror What did you call it before…Yeh that’s it! Time...

Back in 2013 when we sacked Scott Watters, Chocco put his hand up to be our senior coach We were told by people here on Saintsational that Mark Williams was a bit ‘difficult’ and too problematic (the same apologists who supported the decision to recruit McCartin). They told us he was a bit off the ...

Goodwin only needed one GF attempt. ... and there'll be no " if the ball bounced this way instead of that way" rubbish and excuses.... it was an emphatic win. And his team is improving year by year. This is who you call a good coach. :wink: Goodwin played his role, but I wouldn’t be singi...

Yeah you watched it without an agenda You KNEW in game day which team was gonna win , heck you knew even when we finished the year as the best H/A side all year but just forgot to tell us all on here beforehand cause like so many you’re a superstar coach 10 years later.... :D The FACTS were “not br...

The view that hind was developed by Essendon miraculously over one season is hilarious. In terms of moving him to the backline, I'm still not sure he would be a starting back for us without injuries. Let’s say you have a guy like Hunter Clark at full fitness or a guy like Brad Hill or a guy like Ja...

How tall is Brandon White?

Yeah, nah…don’t answer that!! I am just kidding

I think Melbourne has the best recruit of 2021 and that person is not going to take the field Chocco Williams has made a huge difference. They guy deserves his own senior coaching gig, but I’m not sure if he has the drive and commitment or the hunger to take the reigns at another club at his age rig...

All done Does that mean Roughead takes over the forward line? Roughs job is to ‘break-in’ the young promising players. (By breaking their legs) Mental toughness thing. Not sure if you’d be game enough to say that directly to Roughy’s face… Would you? You are making a joke about Ben suffering a horr...

I’m a proven career coach.

I’ve taken 2 teams all the way at 2 different clubs and I have an enviable win loss ratio

You can trust me….

So if a coach wants a player on the list The player fails to deliver It’s all the coaches fault The player has no responsibility to do his part - often the basics like kick a goal from inside the goal square ? (see Schneider 09) Sorry that’s just absolute rubbish. Sometimes you completely ignore th...

Looking at our GFs under Lyon, I would say we lost because some of our more highly rated players didn't perform on the day that counted for whatever reason. The second half from Ball in 09 was pretty useless. Probably matters less if we did what we were supposed to in the first half... If a coach w...
