Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
Definitely taking that pre season after the 2018 season.
Well done to the club, coaches, players, etc. for riding the major storms and the injury toll the club has had.
We need a big performance in Shangers.

Re: Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
Yeah I thought the coach coached really well this week, starting at the selection table.
It was great to see him and the players after the gsme showing genuine love for each other with heaps of man hugs with every player. Clearly they love him.

Re: Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
I’m calling you Richard from now on.
We are miles off it.
We’ve won one (yes, one) game well, with Essendon game another where we deserved to win. Other than that, could be two wins and second last.
The whole vibe stinks. You’re celebrating like we’ve won a flag.

Re: Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
No such thing as equal 7th. But I’m happy with 5-5 given our injury list.

Re: Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
Correct in a way but we have got the job done so far under trying and difficult circumstances. Its a bit un-Saints like and workmanlike. Good job boys!kosifantutti wrote: ↑Sun 26 May 2019 8:56pm No such thing as equal 7th. But I’m happy with 5-5 given our injury list.

Re: Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
Bit harsh - A team which hasn't had it's All Australian Defender, it's #1 Draft Pick, A three-time (I think?) All Australian recruit, a defender we swapped a second round pick for, and it's two best players, including its captain and it's Centre Half Back for nearly the entire season, has won half its games in an extremely difficult season and people are angry.
We've beaten Essendon, Hawthorn and Carlton, and to a lesser extent Melbourne, and have blooded a raft of new players with our new full-forward showing a bit in the reserves, with Clark and Coffield probably ready to come back in and people aren't happy.
Wow, some people are hard to please. If I knew that we would have the injuries we've had this year there is no way I would've thought we'd have won 5 games out of the first 10.
I am one of few on here who don't believe that many of our long term injured will be back this season due to the nature of their injuries and limited pre-seasons, but in a way, it might be a blessing in disguise if they don't play at all/again this season.
We will turn the whole list over and be better placed next season. Guys we were never going to win more than 9 matches this season anyway, and we were always going to have to hit free agency hard at the end of the season anyway, so we may as well see what the youth and new faces in the team have to offer.
I think we have had a reasonably successful season so far myself.

Re: Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
If we had exactly the same points for and against there would be, but it's unlikely. After a few other considerations, eventually it gets down to a flip of a coin to separate teams. Eddie McGuire has to flip the coin, but only after his fingers have been covered in Vaseline.

You put a few of our best 22 in the teams that lost to freo and the crows and we are 7 wins. At least have a clue.

Re: Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
I’m allowed an opinion, just so happens it’s opposite yours.
I would 100% sacrifice a win or two for the long term benefit of the club, not just tread water for another 5 years

That was NEVER the plan... it’s a direct result of the club’s failure to even come within a bull’s roar of meeting its stated goals.

Robertson won’t play again either.
Geary is serviceable at best. Gives his all but is limited with poor skills. Lonie has had a handful of good games in 4 years, Carlisle is the only A grader.
Hannebery is shot and isn’t going to influence anymore.
Not sure where this delusion of putting 1 player into the side will improve us greatly. Might mean Battle can go forward, personally he’s been bloody good down back and should stay there.

Re: Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
The name of the game is winning and I never want to lose to Carlton, Essendon or Hawthorn again. Richmond are next on my list.
We need to get Clark, Coffield and White back into the side for mine.
The umps were great though!

Re: Saints 5-5 and in equal 7th
Would have taken 5-5 at the start of the year, guessed we’d have been 2-8.
But expectations changed when we were 4-1 and last 5 weeks have been underwhelming.
Hopefully can go 50/50 win loss for balance of the season.

Unfortunately free agency is a joke as they all go to sides in the 8. We could offer $5m a season and they still won’t come.

It's game day. Lets crunch the figures another day and just embrace sport and a WIN.
If it helps think of a win as the binary number 1.

Clarke ticks that box. Gotta be able to find the ball at least at that level.
