When one of the poorest teams does a rebuild they must win as many games on the way as they can in the mean time, so putting the coach down for winning ugly to get a win is pretty ordinary. Losing games just to keep the armchair experts happy doesn't carry any weight to me..

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns
I wonder why so many great football minds on this page can't imagine that when the team is undergoing a flag winning rebuild when you are one of the poorest teams in the competition you must win as many games on the way you can for obvious reasons (supporters and sponsors), so putting the coach down...

Re: Cal Twomey
I would be surprised if we were aggressively shopping at the moment as it looks to be quite a while before we are close to being competitive at the top end.

Re: Let's Talk About the Elephant In the Room
No matter what you say about Max - he always demands full attention from the oppositions best backman and Ben has had a few hoodoo periods in the past as well. Max just needs a good run to build his confidence. The players should be taught to only use Max when it's practical.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Weagles Round 12 2024
At least we demonstrated we made an effort but giving credit to the coach when the moves he made should have been in place from the start. It's as if he had never heard of Harley Reid before, and even after the players were told to lower their eyes going into goal it's so very obvious the long bomb ...

We win most of the first quarter and the only goal we got was a free kick.

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
I was shocked when the club hired Ross Lyon and appalled in the way it happened but as we are stuck with him through the contract I decided to support him rather than relentlessly bag him. Roo along with other former players from his period and the media carried on like pork chops on how great he wa...

Re: Why the young list disconnection ?
I tend to agree that we just don't seem to be showing any passion for the game at all, when someone kicks a goal it's like it is a relief for the players, our captain kicks a goal and looks like his mother died, Max King kicks a goal and waves his finger like the Queen and with the same grimace on ...

Re: Votes v Dees
Today is my birthday. All the Saints gave me was some junk time goals. So depressing. 5. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera. Far from perfect , but our best ball user. At age 21, seems to be our most poised, mature player. 4. Jack Steele. Our best midfielder ( yes I know that equates to being the best ice hoc...

Re: Leadership group
One of the issues with our leadership group is their individual form. Steele - tries hard but is a shadow of his AA self Wilkie - tries hard but down on last year Sinclair - down on last year Ross - almost gone Marshall - great player but has major holes in his game that can be exposed Maybe they'r...

Re: Leadership group
Players should be enjoying themselves, feeling well prepared or confident and onfield player leadership give the appearance of committed performance. It looks like our leadership group seem to principally lead by example only, and coaches who work from the bench give the impression they are 100% inv...

The way it looks - a team that loses by 99 points in their next game beats a team that played finals the previous year. Please, Please beat the Weegirls.

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
So Joey seems basically to be saying that our defence and running half backs are pretty good and our midfield moves the ball forward ok, but our forward line is pretty crap. Especially in the absence of quality smalls like Higgins, Butler and Gresham. I agree with all that, but wasn’t that pretty c...

Re: Jon Ralph is a tool.
All he is saying is that our good performance last year (which surprised everyone, noting the year of experimentation and the injuries we had particularly early) resulted in the bar being set too high for this year. He is under the pump because he isn't living up to last year when in reality with o...

Re: Bonner to Hill, Freo goal
I get where you're coming from Moods. It wasn't an absolute shocker of a kick, but how many overhead marks does Hill take per game? That's not his strength is it? Anyhow... it's one incident. There are dozens of errors we can find in each game... even from some of our better players. I agree that H...

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo
Just terrible. It's up to Ross Lyon to give us something while he rebuilds the team but he is failing dismally. I am appalled.
