Re: Options options

There are two 5s?


What the hell is the club saving its warchest for?

Either go out and get everything it can get, or might as well fold.

Re: Are you still angry ?

The so called high draft pick strategy has yielded 2 players who have skill but the rest are inconsistent or with low kicking skills. Done better with cheap recruits such as Bruce, Membrey and to an extent Weller. Might have been better to trade to capitalise on when Roo, Monty and Lenny were around...

Re: So what do people want to see happen..?

Write off the year.

Get rid of the CEO and the footy admin.

Change of all assistant coaches

Shake up the recruiting department

Look like business

Sign up FAs and trade 2019 first pick to get some talent in ASAP.

Re: Are you still angry ?

Pretty angry at the CEO.

More about virtue signalling rather than looking at on field performance.

Just nothing. Everyone in admin sat on their hands last year when not a single FA came to the saints. Not even a decent trade.

Kind of like people looking glazed as a plane's about to crash land.

Saints can do a Richmond (2017) in 2019

It can happen

Don't sack the coach

Sack the longstanding assistants. No good in recent times - just groupthinkers

And bring in a large number of recruits from other clubs, similar to how Richmond brought in Prestia and Caddy. An FA or 2 would not go astray either

Re: Sack the Coach (revisited)

Richmond went out of finals to bottom 6 and came back to win the premiership. How? They got Prestia, Caddy and some more astute draftees. Need to g...

Why did we not get Fyfe?

There was enough cap space. The reality is they replaced Roo and Monty with couple of 18 year olds. That means they needed senior cover for 4 years until they come good. Oh, the football manager said we could get couple of 700k players than one Fyfe. Well, boo hoo! Didn’t get them either. I don’t bl...

Re: Nth v Mighty Sainters - Match thread

Can we get Roo and Montagna back? They’d be fresh without needing the preseason and with better skills

Oh, and 2028 is a pipe dream. Geelong topped for their stars and saints bottomed out.

Expect the exodus for all the good players at the end of the season... contracted or not.

Imagine having Zach Merett instead. Thanks flathead. Imagine in the 07 draft if we took Dangerfield instead of McEvoy at no 9! The Crows took Dangerfield at 10!

Did Paul Hudson’s departure affect the game plan?

I’ve scratched my head and wondered why has the game plan deteriorated since 2016? Paul Hudson’s departure seems like a good fit if not everything. Back in 2016, St Kilda players would go through the corridor when the opportunity presented. Now the corridor is less used or less well defended. Is Pau...
