Re: Positives

Long - loved his workrate today. He was often the link up player and constantly presented up the wing. Shame he couldn't have finished off with a goal, deserved it. Hanners - the guy is just a class above. If only he can stay injury free and fit. He really adds some much needed polish. Having him in...

Re: According to fox Dunstan wants a two year contract

I must be watching a different no 7 running around because to me he's very good below the knees. His hands are exceptionally quick and he along with Steele are the ones in and under dishing the ball out. He is always first in and goes in hard. Anyway, hope we sign him up. He's still young and will c...

Re: According to fox Dunstan wants a two year contract

He does a lot of the hard stuff and a lot of selfless stuff. He doesn't rack up huge possessions but his impact at the contest is significant. We are a better side with him in it and i think his teammates would agree with that.

In a nutshell, he's a required player so get it done Saints.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 18 2019

Just want to highlight Hunter Clark, particularly to the fools who said he was no good after a handful of games.

Re: Matty Parker Goal Celebrations

I love Matty and his celebrations. I am sick of the robotic world we are creating where no one is allowed to have a bit of flair or personality. Keep up the good work Matty, glad you got to celebrate a round that meant a lot to you personally.

Re: Votes v Hawks

5. Seb Ross. Solid for 4 qtrs 4. Jack Billings. When boy became man. Strong game. 3. Rowan Marshall. Such a difference to have a ruckman who can get possies (and kick goals!). 2. Blake Acres. Great second half. Just as i said its time for him to step, he did. Kept us in it that third qtr. 1. Jack Lo...

Re: Luke Dunstan

I like him, always have. I think his in and under work and quick hands either doesn't get the praise it deserves or goes unnoticed. He does a lot of the grunt work and i think his role can be "unglamorous" at times. Sure he's had bad patches of form but ultimately i like our team better wh...

Re: The Bleedin' obvious

Yep, he is crucial to our team. I posted earlier i watched him closely today. Every time he was off the ground we barely won a clearance. When he was in there, our midfield looked strong. He just does so much in the contest. Whether its positioning himself so his teammate can get the ball, or so his...

5. Jack Steven - watched him closely today. Every time he was off the ground we struggled out of the middle. His impact in there is pivotal. He doesn't play today we lose. 4. Josh Bruce - welcome back. Just an all round solid game, and a crucial mark to save us. 3. Jack Steele - never said die. Quie...

Re: PR Issues

I am in the same boat with regard to how flat i feel about the team at the moment. I think our biggest problem is, all our players are the same. They play the same, move the same, act the same. Besides Gresham and Steven, there is no excitement and no flair. No one that gets under the opposition's s...

Seriously can someone please tell me what Newnes does each week to justify his selection? I am obviously missing something. Please, someone give me an explanation???

Re: Weak selection policy AGAIN!

This selection just exemplifies why we are doing so poorly as a team. No accountability. It really is insanity. Would it have hurt to be bold, drop a couple and make a statement? Looks like we are happy with our onfield performance. If not its a bizarre way of showing it. I at least hope we swap a f...

If we don't have the balls to drop "name" players how about we at least try them in a different position? Switch Billings with Newnes - i know Newnes isn't a renowned goal kicker but who exactly in our team is? Play Acres on the ball, move Carlisle forward and give Gresh more stints in the...

I look at the Richo signing and to me it just exemplifies the St Kilda FC.. accepting mediocrity. Honestly what does that signing tell the rest of the club including other coaches and players?

Re: I want to be excited about the season.

For me it really hasn't helped having to watch the Dogs and the Tigers win one. You'd think watching teams who've had no recent success (or minimum success) like us would give me hope, but its actually had the opposite effect. It just makes me feel like I'm going to witness every other team win a fl...
