The Simple Fact is.......
Our list is pathetic.
We can give all the effort u want but if the talent isn't there the talent isn't there.
The majority of players on our list wouldn't get a game for any dscent team.

We have a much better list than our performances suggest. All this overrated list is rubbish spewed out by a totally inept coaching panel who has overseen very good quality AFL players become very ordinary AFL players.
Sure our list has a number of holes (as do most clubs) but we also have the vast majority of senior players in career worst form. Who takes the blame for that?
Senior players have no pressure to perform as they never get dropped.
Young players are never allowed the opportunity to get significant game time or a run of games or languish in the twos.
Fringe players are either in favour & never get dropped or are in & out every single week if they're not love children.
Tonight has shown once again that there is very little team spirit & confidence is almost gone. Next week could be a shattering experience.

GT was able to get a lot out of the list because he instilled passion into the players. We took risks by playing fast paced footy.
Ross Lyon wouldn't know passion if it smashed him in groin. That's the mistake we made by not bringing in someone who cared about the St Kilda footy club. What does it matter to RL if we win or not? He's going to get paid for 10 years regardless, right?![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Senior players have no pressure to perform as they never get dropped.
So what pressure does Ross have given he has been endorsed for the long term by our president?
At least the players have grown up at St Kilda, Ross grew up accepting loss after loss at Fitzroy.
The players have a lot more heart in this club then Ross ever will.

Tonight has shown we are a 6 goal worse side than Sydney in Sydney. Thats about right.Animal Enclosure wrote:We have a much better list than our performances suggest.
Your in la la land mate wake up.....what you gonna tell me - Kosi just hasnt come good this year?or Raph Clarke is having a "down year"???
All this overrated list is rubbish spewed out by a totally inept coaching panel who has overseen very good quality AFL players become very ordinary AFL players.
Show me a quote where Lyons come out and said the list is overrated? or your just into making it up?

Our list has a number of holes? We have players tonight touching the ball 5 times and you reckon we have "some" holes........we have 2 mids who WIN their own footy (and are having great seasons in hayes/Ball) and nothing else to come through there and you reckon its just a small "list glitch"???? get a clue.
Senior players have no pressure to perform as they never get dropped.
Agreed. And why is that? Whats better in the twos weve been developing over the last 4 yrs? Gwilt?
Young players are never allowed the opportunity to get significant game time or a run of games or languish in the twos.
That would explain why Gwilt, Fergusons have played so much under the previous "develop kids at all costs regimes?"![]()
Fringe players are either in favour & never get dropped or are in & out every single week if they're not love children.
Drivel more nonsense...![]()

Don't switch teams!
And for goodness sake... why those two teams?
Adelaide! (our opponents in the GF in 1997)
and Hawthorn (our opponents in the GF in 1971).
No, no, no!
Think of all the reasons why you decided to go for the Saints in the beginning. Remember those things.
I'm not saying you can't be angry, or disappointed... and you have a right to those feelings. But we're like a (disfunctional) family... you get very angry but you are always one of the family.

bj was the answer in correction (its true)
there is no next...
We have 1 player who can hit a team mate from 50. You're right. My apologies.
