Re: My beef with the club

Agreed. We were smashed through the middle anyway, giving them a spare made it worse, nigh on impossible to win the footy between the arcs.

Re: The Fat Lady

It’s not paying out this season that’s the concern, it’s paying 600k for next season while paying a new coach 1M at the same time. That would be a poor business decision. Especially when there’s little to be gained for sacking him right now, as opposed to R18 when he will be sacked.

Re: It mostly comes down to our midfield

Think Milney went alright in 2004 kicked a lazy 46

At that point of his career 73 games 139 goals

That 2gpg which is elite for a small forward

Re: My beef with the club

The plus two was created by AR folding back a wingman (Ross) after the centre bounce following the injury to Battle. This was probably to support an undersized and inexperienced defense. And try to stop the bleeding. Did not work. Wrong player. The spare wingman for North sat off every mid stoppage ...

Re: Saints need stand alone VFL side

Maybe we should throw the 30 million down the toilet that was spent to build Moorabbin And build a training base in our spiritual heartland - StK at the junction. We could share with CV because our relationship with cricket was so good last time. Surely if we were training at StK our fortunes would ...

Re: Roughead to Saints?

Don’t want him to play. Stand in the way of development, and he is like Armo, Father Time has caught up with him. There’s a reason why he’s played twos this season. He’ll be 34 next year.

Would love him in an off field role. Either development or forwards coach.

Re: My beef with the club

Big call to say a footballer is not putting in? I’d argue that every player on the field was having a go, Zeiball and Cunnington are contested ball beasts, Simpkin is a first rounder and is very skilled. Some days you try hard, run hard and chase hard, but the ball just doesn’t fall your way or your...

Re: My beef with the club

What I’m saying is, the move to Moorabbin, whilst important in some ways will make little on field impact. They still train on grass (which at Moorabbin is pretty ordinary) the still have a set of goals at either end and a fence around the ground, the footies are the same shape, the weights room has...

Re: Webster

Tough player, has good attributes as a defender, but is injury prone and can turn the ball over with poor decisions or skill errors

Right deal, I’d trade him

Oh, and if you have ever known Lenny Hayes, he is the furtherest thing from intimidating.

Softly spoken, calm and intelligent. One of the most modest persons I have met.

Sandy team yesterday was horrible

18yo Jack Mayo was the only tall forward for the most part, and top up player Dave Secull

Not sure what has happened to Gilbert, but they needed him yesterday, and probably Nathan Wright to make an impact

Re: Robbo's dislikes

But hang on Saintpav, that doesn’t help our agenda so it can’t be true.

AR just sits back and does nothing, that’s more like it,

On Seb, he found himself playing in the back half yesterday and had no idea, he was not the right person for that role.
