I still don't think either of you had actually heard the podcast before this discussion took off. The OP is completely made up. None of it is true. 'My son has a mate who was drafted by Hawthorn, who made up a story about being at a podcast with Allison and reckons he said a whole heap of crap he d...

For those who are having a crack at Allison perhaps have a listen to what he says first before making judgement re him dissing his teammates and what-not. It was an interesting listen and he offered some raw transparency/insight to our program (not something that we as St Kilda supporters are reall...

As Leigh Matthews famously said about Jack Watts, "This young man has shown nothing to suggest he was worthy of the number one selection." Paddy the same. Watch Paddy's YouTube highlights from his under 18 year. Horrendous. Barely a first rounder, let alone number one. Undersized for a key...

Two words. Paul Hunter.

Ben Long burns the entire side every time he plays . Another Elshaug special. What anyone sees in him is a mystery. A decent VFL player, nothing more. bulldust That's the way. Stick up for your brother. He's s***. Just admit it and park your bias and racial privilege. <1 week ban for inflammatory r...

Oh the irony! That fat pig Hutchy calling out the saints fitness!

He refused to play for us. Farken rat. Always was a Saints' hater. I remember him rubbishing the saints at a Windy Hill Sunday morning barrel turn. Complete, arse licking turd. When there was nowhere left to go, he went to the saints because he had burned every other bridge. Incompetent turd and jus...

:roll: Bulldust. Maybe TBM and B.M should re do the write up on the Saints page and change all the adjectives to suit their agenda. https://www.saints.com.au/players/1408/ben-long We have a player who has been instrumental when we have had good wins during his short AFL career. What we get is people...

Found him a new position so he wouldn't sue for unlawful dismissal. Parasite. Failed at everything he did at the club. Lyon quickly moved him out of the coaches box, I think you'll find.

Jealous of the preferential treatment Long has been afforded. Cronyism at its worst. Poor Ben is a VFL player at best, with a very influential surname, luckily for him.

Ratten needs help IMO He’s proven historically that he is not a defensive coach at all - it looks good when all is going our way with a full squad to choose from......not so good when the wheels start coming off like lately. IMO we are stale with many football club personnel- Hamiltonian has to go ...

Lance Franklin. If we can get his body right we can frame a team around him. We have the expertise (or so they keep telling us). Get him, then Buddy could keep Hannebery company in the Grandstand most weeks. Trouble is that would mean we have 2 superannuants rather than the 1 we have now. At least ...

Reading this story and seeing that some of the people in the McCartin discussion are still at the Saints. in prominent positions, has me concerned about the 2021 Free Agency, Trade and Draft period. Oh Boy ! See my post on "The Idiot's Apprentice", Wayne42. The architects of our current s...

I nice piece of fantasy. What is your official role at the club that you are given the training manifesto? Please tell us. I call bulls***. I know more than you as I called it first, but thanks for your input.

Matt Allison. f*** him off. That was my initial reaction, SaintPav. After further consideration, I thought, "Out of the mouths of babes." I'm probably a man of my generation and believe he should have kept his mouth shut, but maybe it might give the playing group pause for thought. Can't ...

One argument is we started our pre-season later because of finals and the Covid delayed season. The theory is we went a bit easier to avoid overloading the players. It may have backfired. I agree with other posters who have stated we have players who appear to lack conditioning. Interestingly, last ...

I may be missing something... 1st year player b1tching about being required to be at club for the day? Senior players have always spent 4 or 5 hours at the club and headed off, at every team in every major sport. A few hours of work out & physio, a team/coach chat, a few hours team work out on ...

Matt Allison.

Correct, Vortex. My point exactly. Who the F*** does this bloke think he is, dissing his team mates? Could be some truth in it, but stfu until you've proven yourself. I take it someone will have a friendly chat about it. If it hadn't been mentioned on Saints' TV, I wouldn't have believed it.

My son has a friend who was drafted by Hawthorn last year. The young Hawk is a good friend of one of our recent draftees. I won't name either yet, for fear of causing trouble for one of them. Somewhat foolishly, our bloke went on an obscure podcast with his hawk's mate and lamented the lack of inten...

I didn't know which thread was the most appropriate for this, so I'll try to keep this brief. There has been a lot of criticism of our recruiting and list management, most of it justified. It has been directed, mainly at Gags and Lethers and historically, Elshaug. The one who seems to have escaped m...

why so angry Mr Method ? we’ll all be back to ‘great expectations’ as the pill goes skyward v the Toasters none of us know its all just the play of pessimists ‘n optimists isn’t it ? its like two blobs in your level annoying but which is the wrong blob bob The ignorant whining. I'm not angry, just ...

It was just a few weeks ago that our recruiters were all geniuses who had but a list that ran so deep, we were capable of beating GWS on their home turf with 9 of our best 22 missing.

Two weeks later, they're all hopeless. Win this week and we're all back in Mensa. That's footy!
