The commentators i listened to on the radio were mightily impressed at the number of 50m and 100m sprints Rooey was churning out as a senior player on the weekend. Great for the young players to witness that up close. Hope the big fella is ok for next week knowing how much it'll mean to him. G O O D...

Didn't see the game in this murdoch free zone (Bull excepted) but hoping that if Ross gets the nod for this weekend he'll minimise what some are calling poor form to only one game. Preventing a negative pattern is also growth. On the radio the Saints were sounding good from a momentum and initiative...

"We've enjoyed a very soft draw and a good run with injuries. We haven't beaten any good sides yet and have been convincingly beaten by the few good sides we've played so far. I am loving the way the whole club is performing atm but I don't want us to get ahead of ourselves. We will be losing 3...

Same team available for this week is a bonus - hope they can reproduce the impressive cohesion of last week. It's great to see the young guys string games together - enjoyed Webster, Ross, Newness a lot last week. Also big guys Longer & Membrey have another opportunity to further cement some goo...

I could't help wonder if Brendan had wanted to stay put with Lenny, Rooey, Joey & Chips etc. Looking at it now he'd probably enjoy the new situation @ the Saints with the injection of young talent around him. Could or would he want the responsibility to help guide the younguns like Rooey & J...

Heppell getting that 50m was a leg up for them- couldn't help wondering how it may have went without that freebe. Longer was good value he appeared to inject himself into the play on numerous occasions outside his ruck work. I think I can see why AR likes him in the side - he's very busy. Back to th...

I hope Dan simply has a decent stretch injury free. Fingers crossed he's over the worst.

As AR says Jack's fwd pressure is critically important to team fortunes and this with his ability to position himself in dangerous positions. Oh, better not forget his ability to goal and set up goals for team-mates. I've really appreciated Jack's work from the start of the season. I'm getting the i...

At the very least he is helping the coach and team realise the next move fwd. Of coarse there is a lot more in terms of skill and presence that is making Members a vital cog in the St. Kilda fwd. line.

Enjoyed members positivity and being switched on early.

G O SAINTS !

I'm ready for a win over the bombers.
The Dome is ours!

G O S A I N T S !

Last time the bombers seemed to rebound too easily into our defence after soaking up plenty of Saints pressure. A better defensive wall this time would be nice. Hope it's another impressive development game and actually a WIN. It would be good to get one back over the bombers especially @ the Dome. ...

If i had to choose which game i'd rather win - Dogs or Bombers it would be beating Essendon. The previous encounter was one that slipped through the fingers. Hope it's different on Sunday.

Very happy with Billings - I thought the club did some great homework leading up to going with JB. I heard the Saints were also interested in P.Cripps and had done some homework into him as well. Before draft day i was hoping Patrick Cripps would make it through to us but Carl. made their move. If t...

Great to hear Paddy is maintaining his positive attitude and keeps building his development through the VFL experience. Brucey spoke very positively himself in regard to what Paddy is bringing to our club and it is great to hear. I was instantly impressed with the way Paddy spoke upon joining the Sa...

A good performance deserves recognition. I hope Aaryn can keep the ball rolling.
Whatever he had for breakfast before the game keep taking it !

Matkworth running again, that's just great to hear for his sake.
The candle is lit for no more injuries.

BEST OF LUCK Dan.

Getting the ball into the Fwd. 50 wasn't the problem but regularly lacking the scoreboard payback just encouraged the Dogs to hang in there. Eastwood (sorry spelling) was good for them. Bruce passed nicely to a few fwd. leads as well. Strategies and heightened player familiarity will / should improv...

Potentially another thriller v's the Dogs. An experienced backline with Gilbe on the verge of 2 in a row for a long time. like Roberton in the mix and hope he has another good run. Webster the prefered young'un in the back 6. Dogs are still a talented young team on the rise, if Saints desire and coh...

I got the feeling that the more the club scrutinised Pady Mc the more they found it impossible to not pick him. I have no problem believing that the first 3 picks of the 2014 Draft could well be seriously talented and 'productive' players. I'm also thinking back to that older draft that produced a t...

Hard to give votes as this thriller was all experienced via the old fashioned radio. Would have been great to experience it in body (@ the Dome) With 20 seconds to go the crowd noise reached a peakon the radio - couldn't hear the commentators! I was thinking something big has just occured but winnng...

Great to see Gilbe recovered from his injury. An enigmatic player for sure. Not surprised if AR just wants to see how he goes - Gilbe would give AR more options as he keeps on structuring & restructuring the team. Another fit player (with experience) probably helps the coach. Overall it looks li...

Report sounded encouraging especially with the work of Goddard; Wright; Saunders; Ross; Curran; Lee & Holmes making a good impression.

It is great to hear about the young guys pushing forward.

Thanks for the report.

G O S A I N T S !

Some players flourishing under AR.
It's coming together !

Enjoying AR at the moment.

I didn't realise Jack Steven had produced such great numbers for kicking and tackling. I tend to look to him for dashing sprints and carving up the park with our players joining in to our advantage and often into attack. Once the ball is in Jack's hands and he is up & away the adrenalin goes up ...

Rice is visiting the club trying to get a feel for the place - great!
Sentimentality is an appealing aspect of the club and I always appreciated the efforts of Dean Rice but will remain in the group calling for best available.
