It's such a great position to be in though eh? In form fringe players keeping the pressure on the 22 that get selected each week.

Usually Saints have filled a couple of wards at the Epworth with injured players by this stage of the season!

I feel a bit guilty about Gwilty now (ha!)

He's been a bit clumsy lately and given away dumb free kicks, but I think he just needs a bit of time in the ones to settle in.

He deserves at least as much time as Raffa got anyway.

There's no doubt we need all our stars on form against the Hawks. We'll win if:

1. Kingy, Max, Grammy and Milney play like they played against Carlton

2.Roo practises goal kicking this week.

3. Lenny plays like he did in Q1 against Freo.

4. Gwilt gets lost getting to the Dome and can't play.

Totally agree. Getting finals experience is all part of blooding the kids. Nothing like a couple of finals game to accelerate their development.

It tells us that we've lost the ability to put teams away, and that we can't play for 4 quarters. On the other hand it shows we have mental fortitude (except at the Gabba!) and generally players will bleed for the RW&B. I'd disagree that it is luck. The fact we have done it consistently over 2 y...

You watch, the next thing to happen will be the AFL suggesting we be the club to move to Western Sydney.

Wouldn't surprise me if the calculator used to crunch the numbers for the Frankston redevelopment was a dodgy one supplied by Demetriou.

Having come form the UK originally, I've only been a fan of the saints for 5 years, but I'm hurting bad. I can only imagine how you all are feeling having supported St Kilda from childhood!

There is one of two things going on at St Kilda at the moment: (a) The whole team is in a form slump (b) The whole just don't respond to RL and they're not playing for him I'd say the probability of (b) is higher. Get rid of RL and get Sheedy in for 2 years to try and get the best out of this list b...

Hey, lets keep it positive! Remember what Geelong's win loss ratio was after round 5 last year? I'm convinced this maybe a season defining moment for the boys. They'll be hurting too, and the anger might see them through the rest of the season undefeated. Mind you. I am English so when it comes to s...
