Re: Time to pay tribute to a great Saint

With a heavy heart I come back on here to say goodbye to a champion person. He got life, smiles and humour all around. Will never forget the period of 2000 to 2012 where he was always a fun and lovely person to share the ups and downs of following the saints. Always willing to smile and listen, no m...

Re: Well done Richo !

The first half was 2014 all over again, defensive handpasses, slow movement etc. But as the coach noted they started to expand their vision into the centre and the quick movement meant that bad kicks could still be dangerous going forward. I like the focus on developing a winning game plan.

Re: No TV Coverage?

No the galling part is that clubs are not allowed to stream via their website games no televised. It's a disgrace, something the AFL needs to look at. It's 2015 for gods sake!

Re: What's left in the PSD and rookie draft?

bampton looks like he could develop well. Keital is a forward who could be developed as a FB.

interesting we were the fourth best clearance team last year. So that is not a issue. Our run and carry is a big worry but can be fixed in the next draft. Long term drafting this.

Re: #41 St.kilda - Jack Lonie

will be interesting to see if they can develop a mid/half forward role for him, even if it's just 30% of game time. Champion data suggests he has the skills and agility to go top 20. Not a bust at pick 41 but could be very good replacement for Schneider.

Re: Goddard : Thank you Blues

Was a star as a under aged player but did not set the world alight this year. But still rates elite with intercept marks and spoils on champion data rankings and only got beaten 3 times in one on one contests. maybe his form as a forward made him slide. But could still be developed as a swingman. Th...

Re: Hopefully this means..........

No it's the lack of knowledge from some before you shoot your mouth off. Goddards best football currently is at CHB. Maybe he will have the ability to swing but right now the backline will be a good starting point. Lee and white will complement Paddy down forward. A forward line containing Paddy, wh...

matrix, I live in geelong and work weekends so I can only get to say 2-3 games a year so the fixture really does not effect me. But I can see the financial killer of this draw.

Re: Saints games in 2015

That's rubbish P66, we average 6 interstate trips every year. the thought with NZ would be that it would reduce our travelling not add to it. Friday night has nothing to do with performace, carlton and Collingwood both missed finals last year yet get the majority of the Friday night games. Richmond ...

Re: Saints games in 2015

how can it be fair P66 when we have no Friday night home matches, almost all our home games are on sunday and we travel the most out of the Victorian teams. I would have thought that helping the AFL extend out to NZ would allow us to miss a few interstate trips. How can Melbourne only travel 3 times...

Re: Whats the deal with Siposs?

Tank and ability to win one on ones have hampered him. Has the tools, just needs the intensity and ability to run all day. Was mentioned that he has started pre-season training already so hopefully the penny has dropped.
