Yep its not 1997. Players then were in the frame by Stan and came good. The pressure effort is improving but the kicking is just not AFL level and fumbling has become a pedigree a this club. It all leads to turnovers and creates a huge work load for the remainder of the team in terms of defence. No wonder we get run over because we chase bums all day and get physically tired to maintain the effort to possibly create a turnover only to lose it soon after. Body rules the head at that stage of a game so we wont win close ones with our skills as th opposition always knows they are in with a chance to poach the ball late in a game.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Re: Wooden Spoon Talk
No, No Parkey, St Paulie is not Drake. Drake GPH used to be a recruiting scout guru for the Saints, but got dumped by a new regime. St Paul has said he has never been a recruiter, so knows nothing about it. So there's a big difference.
Drake seemed old school, and St P has said he was born after 1982, so there's another discrepancy. Unless, perhaps, he was 30 years old when he was born.
Ha. Didn't take him long to get back to his favourite fish menu did it? Like a broken record.

Re: Wooden Spoon Talk
From memory we had a pretty poor start to 1997 season and Stan's future as coach was being questioned inside and outside the club. Apparently the president got all the players together at his house and they all agreed to get behind Stan- next thing the team is playing championship footy and ends up in a GF. Just shows you when a team decides to play for the coach, the results are much different. Sadly the club axed Stan eventually when the tail started wagging the dog.kalsaint wrote:Spinner wrote:David-Lee wrote:So...he says, if we play our cards just right we might win a 1st round, Number 1 draft pick.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, don't you know? I doubt anyone copies anything you say, PS.

You would have been a teen when 'dumb and dumber was released if what you say is true, so your parents shouldn't have let you watch!!!!!
You need to be really careful on how you post now 'old mate', you may just be on the verge of giving away your real age!!!!!

I was also there every week.Harvey To Hayes wrote:No offence but as someone who was there for pretty much the entire '80s week in, week out that is a stupid thing to say.Life Long Saint wrote: Not even in the 80’s were we this bad.
Remember 1985 when we lost the first three games of the season by a combined 360 points and conceded 80+ goals, including losing to Carlton by 140 points at Moorabbin?
I rest my case...
If you'd read the post in its entirety then you'd realise that we did not have the talent to be better than we were.
The 80's were a different time. There was a gulf between the top four or five teams and the rest.
If you take out the two from North because of the 10yr rule, then only four teams won flags between 1970 and 1989. Richmond, Hawthorn, Carlton, and Essendon.
Once the draft and salary cap took hold then things evened up.
Our last two seasons have been promising to build up to a finals spot this season... So there's no excuse today. We have had access to high end talent and our skills are getting worse.
Oh, and after our three massive losses in 85 we won the next match...I was there for all of them!
When's our next win this season?

Hey St Paul, regardless of whoever you are, or aren't... welcome I say.
I enjoy your jousts with your various 'mates' on here. Ok, I doubt anything will ever quite match Nymeria vs. TB/ Nymeria vs. comrade Rosputin, but the theatre that you blokes (and girls?) provide is great fun and great reading IMHO. Now, we just need to get Con back into the game.
PS: St P, given the, uhm, 'conjecture' as to how long you've a member of this forum
, if the examples above aren't familiar to you, then if you ever have a few spare moments, I highly recommend doing a SS search under 'Nymeria'. Nobody else has ever pulled out 'poltroon' during an SS tussle. That one certainly sent most readers scurrying to their dictionaries. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

The "experts" are saying that we won't win our next game until round 17 when we play the Blues.
That may well turn out to be for the wooden spoon and the no 1 pick.

Re: Wooden Spoon Talk
I like Drake.
Politically I think we're at opposite ends of the spectrum but he writes well. He's witheringly accurate
most of the time. A much more astute observer than most on this forum.
As far as I'm concerned he's welcome back under any name he chooses.

That may well turn out to be for the wooden spoon and the no 1 pick.
As if we are going to lose the next 10 straight. Simply won’t happen.
There will be a few games like the GWS one where we string together 4 quarters (or close to) of decent footy.
Yes, we may rely on the other team also being hopeless in front of goal (like the GWS game), but it will happen.
Also, by Round 17, the players and coach should’ve finally got used to not having Roo and Joey around, and have adjusted accordingly.
In the next 10 games, I expect 3 wins. That’s not unreasonable. I can’t predict against who we will win, as I have NFI which weeks we will “turn up”.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

Re: Wooden Spoon Talk
Of course he is welcome back (again) under any name he chooses. I guess a lot of the banter arose because the name he chose is apparently not the name Drake chose, and he is sticking to that.Waltzing St Kilda wrote:I like Drake.
Politically I think we're at opposite ends of the spectrum but he writes well. He's witheringly accurate
most of the time. A much more astute observer than most on this forum.
As far as I'm concerned he's welcome back under any name he chooses.
In my view he does make some good points, and writes well. I would question "witheringly accurate most of time", more like "witheringly negative most of the time", which does inspire more positive posters to respond.
Constructive criticism is valuable, destructive criticism is not. All fun and games.
