120 years and we are now nothing more than a fixture item wholly run subsidiary of the AFL. We have the same bargaining power as the Suns.

All our staff and execs are AFL drones.

Hawks, Eagles, Bombers, Pies etc have enough clout to say No to the AFL. They would not even consider this fixture.

onthe biggest stage the Saints have held since the glory days. the comment was "we were abit flat today" absolutely disgraceful. China is a joke. What 'exposure' do we get from that. A Foxtel game, which will attract a dozen or so expats and a by-line on the daily news. Mmmm.. slightly mo...

If Ted went to a Saints catered event and the chef took a dump on his plate and served him a steamer he would give them 5 stars and compliments to the chef.

Being reported (ie leaked by the AFL) that we’re about to get punted from a Good Friday after this year’s debacle. Well done to Richo, his tactics-lite, clueless group and the 22 on-field spuds who gave absolutely nothing that fateful day. It wasn’t Richo’s fault a pathetic 33K turned up. We did wi...

con slagging off at Paddy, and Parkey defending him?

Thanks for the warning

Parkey seems to start the majority of threads on this web site.
He is the site President, News Breaker and Spiritual Leader.
Very prolific contributor.

Nothing like a bit of pre-season optimism to get the punters up and about. The Saints do their best work between October and February. The fans are full beans over the sumer months. The players fit and firing. The administrators the best strategists in the land. Lethers has already surpassed Sir Jo...

Bump.

Comparing Richo to Buckley or Hardwick is an optimistic long stretch but tolerable. Comparing Richo to legends like Hafey and Malthouse means we have really jumped the shark. I wouldn't put any of those 3 in a conversation with Hafey or Malthouse. Atleast not yet Hang on. You are the bloke who comp...

OP has a point but is he from the People's Front of Judea or the Judean People's Front?
Declare your allegiance ye man of the North.

Ratten already sounds about 5 times more intelligent than Richo. In taking control of the club's ball movement Ratten won't copy what the Hawks did, but will take parts of their game plan. "There will be an element of Hawthorn, but Hawthorn play like some other teams as well, so I think everyon...

You all know exactly what I mean.
Top 4 finish. I.e. making a prelim.
Any takers?
Teddy boy?
Stoney?

So you can have one off year. Let's look at 5 years then. 33% over the last 5 years. As others have pointed out we had an easy draw and a dream run with injury in 2016. 2016 was the odd one out. Not 2018. The club can rebound but I'll guarantee it won't be with Richo. Happy to put my money where my ...

The only meaningful conclusion you could draw from pointing out Malthouse - he was a brilliant coach that achieved results is AR in the same league ? No. Matlhouse already had a flag at WC when he went to Collingwood. One season of 5 wins. Remember Richo has already had two seasons of 4 wins. 2014 ...

Logan Austin is 23.
Contracted until 2020.
Needs to play some games.

On the other hand .... Our biggest loss all year was only by 50 points ... 71 actually - against the Swans, plus two more over 50 points against North (52) and Richmond (54). Adelaide was 49 points. Add to that Cats was 47 and Bombers 43. We were blown off the park by some average teams (North, Cat...

There are no coaches that I can find since 2000 who had a season of 4 wins (or less) and went on to win a flag. I have not looked back further than 2000. These are the modern day coaches who have won flags (plus Buckley) and the number in () is their worst ever coaching season number of wins. Bomber...

And yes big difference between them and us, but i have made the point a few times that i am not comparing teams. Point is that much the same team finished 13th as the one that won a GF next season, meaning that their ladder position in 2016 was not indicative of their list Big mountain to climb fro...

Interesting debate. I would add that where you finish on the ladder is a fact, but what the cause is, is not. I.e. Tigers 13 to 1st, Pies 13 to first. I remember Collingwood going from last to a multiple grand finals and a prelim three consecutive years late 70's. Clearly the Tigers list , recruiti...

maybe the club told him he'd not done well in getting his team-mates up n about. Is that deflecting? Blaming him for 4.5 wins? At least partly? Hanners is prob replacing Mav as on-field leader. But why not keep Mav as depth, in case Hanners gets injured? I think Kent is the replacement for Mav, not...

Again, no names. Billings? Yes, was a chance from what was told but had nothing to do with Richo. Didn't leave. Source? Provide info Riewoldt and Montagna dislike Richo. Where have they said he's an "absolute cabbage." Please provide details. I want links, comments, sources no A grade pla...
