Re: Jaxons come on down (2017/18 thread)

Hardwick stated that they learnt alot from the thumping we gave them. Maybe our game plan based on nomadic intense pressure is right, only thing is we are inconsistent at it and lack a bit of class and polish to execute it properly. Just my thoughts.

Re: Coaching dept.

Ŕicho definitely needs some new blood. Keep McGlynn but others need to go and while we are at it employ a goal kicking coach. Apparently Ben Dixon was good at Collingwood before he was pushed out by Sanderson and their goal kicking has been crap ever since.

Cubs Curse

I was reading about the curse of the Chicago Cubs and got me thinking has a curse from our past been put on our club, we should've won Flags in 1971, 1997, 2009 and 2010 but things always happened to prevent the win. Am just putting it out for discussion amongst us Saints fans and see what everyones...

Free Agency 2017

Okay Saints...Its time to get serious and have a good look at what we want for next year and then start talking to their managers now to begin building some relationships, it always staggers me that Hawthorn, Sydney target their man a year before they get him, we MUST do this if we are any chance fo...

He is still available can get him for next to nothing, I know we have now added Steele and Stevens and we will have Freeman available hopefully but surely another mature body who picks up alot of possessions would be handy ??

Can we still use our 2 first rounders for 2017 on Fyfe this year or is it just a pipe dream even for next year ?

Re: Tom Mitchell

I would personally be disappointed if we dont make a serious play for Mitchell, from what i understand he is gettable and we have the means but do we have the b...s to do it. Come on Saints forget Stevens and chase hard on Mitchell, will top off our midfield very nicely.

Re: Defence structure for 2016

In my honest opinion I see no reason why we can"t play Rooey at CHB, he is tall, mobile, can still give us the run & still be the link up player we need, it is time to give the forward responsibilities to Paddy McCartin & Josh Bruce, it just makes sense. Plenty of players in the past ha...

Re: Second video..

I am not condoning what Jake did by any stretch but if you were a St.Kilda supporter and come across this would you show it on national TV, I thought Tracey Grimshaw was a saints supporter, am disappointed in her too.....Unless she was told by her bosses.

Doesn't excuse Jakes stupidity however !!!!!!
