What I found interesting about what Barrett said was; There was a clause in Ross' contract . Both Barrett & Garry Lyon appeared to be very excited that this was a "BIG" story until James Brayshaw butted in and said that most coaches would have a similar cause. This seemed to get Barre...

Dempster has probably been one of our better players this year.. He is what he is and whilst he doesn't always add a whole lot offensively I'd say he's beaten his direct opponent more often than not this year. Milne was quiet last week but the way our midfield went what fwd wasnt after qtr time....?...

I'm not sure what Blake and Peake could have changed to be good enough this week. It is a revolving door, I'm sick of it. Horses for courses.. McEvoy wasn't exactly beating his opponent or he may just be rested this week so we need another ruckman. Blake is the only one left who's capable to play t...

Peake over Gram is a step backwards. Gram at least can be creative. Peake is wasteful. Ross has been quoted as saying on numerous occasions that he will pick players that will put it hence why gram is out and peaks is in. Yes the "lack of effort" makes sense. Gram doesn't win too much har...

Just taking a look at ladder. We are the second worst scoring team in the competition with 536 pts from our 7 games, with only the Gold Coast on 531 who are lower. The winless Lions are on 564 points. We also scored to consolation goals in the final minute of todays game when the game was done and ...

It is a terrible time to tank. oh well tanking we are. Tanking infers that you're deliberately losing or not giving your selves the best chance of winning. We're tanking by accident. That would have to easily be the worst, most gutless football ive seen from this team. With our whole season on the ...

i think i just heard "clarke's had a great game running off half back" :shock: Raph was dominated from what I saw. Most Saint listed players were doing ok which was pleasing too. Was dominated? or has dominated? They have opposite meanings !! oops, sorry. freudian slip. Raph dominated.....

Blown up!? sounds like a serious illness.

Yeah it was very obvious that he didn't have anything positive to say about Lynch. Thought about it for a couple of seconds before answering, as Crawf was talking Lynch up and Ross clearly didn't want to agree with him. There seems to be something that Ross seriously doesn't like about Tom. The con...

Great... Now our supporters are actually stating they'd prefer to lose... What a sad pathetic and uninformed post. What's actually disturbing is that half your changes have been made... In effect 5 delistings being replaced by three new players into the team... I dont think you're right...he's vent...

P66 I wouldnt stop at andrew..... Ins Blake, baker, eddy, geary and mcqualter........possibly see if we can get jayden attard from chelsea heights (heard he played well last week) i reckon he could do a job.....'play a role'.....yes i know jarryn is injured....but least we know what he offers. Its ...

Besides McEvoy these "kids" play nothing roles. I think back to 09 when malthouse threw sidebottom head to head with our midfield in a final... It's one thing playing them it's another what they're instructed to do. Players like Stanley are merely back up and play a decoy role for roo. Th...

Are we ever in danger of giving our kids some accountability and playing them once in a while? We know what mini provides, why not try a cripps or winmar against a weak opposition for an easy kill confidence booster... I bet if we drafted someone like a Darling (like we should have) he would prob r...

PLAY THE KIDS etc.

yeah, Danny Frawley's girls are getting older but still 'kids' maybe we should put them in the team too... make it an under 20's mixed team..

Have to agree with Con here - Goddard is the only gun we seem to have and Roo is not ruling games - perhaps since the injury last year. But too many people on here have just lost their marbles. Trade Goddard would be like getting rid of Stewart, Lockett - Ball anyone? No way would we trade Goddard....

So from the side that lost to the dons by 50 points we now have included Lynch, Cripps and Kosi. I am not saying it is good or bad but if they all played last week with the club having the same attitude we would have lost by, wait for it, 50 points. It isnt about who is or isnt playing at the momen...

when was the last time he was omitted??? i cant remember seems to always be in the side i find it weird that dempster still manages to get a spot but is far less versatile then blake is must be because he has a GF medal :shock: While this is a direct message to Blakey it's also an indirect message ...

Regardless of who they pick you can never make every fan happy. But this is a pretty good squad. And it represents a nice compromise between change and steady as she goes.  Some on here have called for a mass injection of youth and want to see Lynch, Johnson and even Siposs added to the names of S...

winmar did bugger all and stanley didnt set the world on fire

we already had 2 backmen too many.. this evens it out

What about Lynch? Wasn't he close to Sandi's best last weekend? Lynch / Fletcher does have that Dawson / Hall vibe about it. Lynch has been playing well across half back for Sandy. If he were to come in this week it's doubtful he'd cross paths with Fletcher all that often. Even tho Lynch was BOG he...
