Re: Andrew Basset tees off

Well done, Pres. Basset. I agree it is about time. Get into them!!!!! I doubt there would be any consequences, and if there were, they would substantiate the system's corruption. RL and others have alluded to the issue. We are not trading on a level field. It makes you wonder: What is the point of s...

Re: Jon Ralph is a tool.

Perhaps we are still suffering the effects of the hangover from our over achievement last year. All these stories run along the same lines. .. ..the Saints have got heaps of problems and we don't have any idea how they are going to fix them .... .the Saints need midfielders but no one wants to come ...

Re: Time to sit back and relax

Despite our substantial investments, last night's performance indicates that the Saints are still far from a premiership. The club's future appears precarious, especially considering the significant resources poured into a dedicated ground, financial support, high draft picks, top-level coaching, an...

Re: Do you enjoy supporting the Saints?

Corrosive topic. Sad/disappointing so many have been sucked in and to read the heart wrenching tales of distress and angst. Congenital pessimism must be a burden, good luck dealing. Unless you like the wallowing, of course. Tip: you can stop "supporting" anytime you like, find some other ...

Re: Do you enjoy supporting the Saints?

Supporting the Saints is like buying a lottery ticket, with a poor return on the emotional investment. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest the Saints will win a premiership in the near future, and it's uncertain if they will ever win one. If supporters find the emotional toll overwhelming...

I wonder if StK has ever engaged a person as a result of being approached and offered a "package deal ? For example, "employ me, and others will follow"?

Re: De Goey 5 year deal 800 a year.!!

If De Goey contracts to the Saints, it MUST include watertight and strict terms concerning his performance, fitness and off-field behaviour. The Saints can't afford to blow another recruiting contract, e.g. Hannebery. We will be cooked if we blow this!

Re: The call for wholesale sackings at the Club

Happy feet you would be happy if you ignored Sunnytroll who has been haunting this humble site in various guises for years. Don't respond to her OP's. Don't engage in banter with her. Just ignore her and she might go away. As to sacking the Board etc. I don't think they are holding crisis meetings o...

Re: The former filths match review.

Fight it! Wood's bump was aimed at the body and coincided with Saad kicking the ball. Saad's head rocked into Wood's shoulder. You could argue Saad should be charged with high contact on Wood. However, a strong club like Geelong or Collingwood would fight the charge and the AFL fold to them like wet...

Re: Umpire descent

I would be grateful if someone would direct me to any substantive credible evidence that would support the claim that D'mac's conduct, i.e. advising the umpire that the ball had hit the ground, would dissuade people umpiring in the junior ranks? D'macs type of conduct would be totally acceptable in ...

Re: Umpire descent

Thank you, perfectionist. I did choose the word "descent" intentionally as a play on words. That is apparent if you read the OP. What if the coach throws their arms in the air in the box in response to an umpiring decision. Will there be a penalty? Imagine how boring sport would be if a te...

Umpire descent

I won't watch this rubbish anymore. I have no interest in watching a game where the outcome is arbitrarily determined by an umpire forming a view regarding dissent. If the AFL have trouble recruiting umpires at the local level because of poor public behaviour, then there are numerous option to addre...
