Re: Andrew Basset tees off

For those saying we are whinging about a rule that has already been changed, the problem is the AFL changed the rule then backed down and delayed it for another year so that they wouldn’t upset Carlton and Brisbane. For the ice cream analogy, one kid is sitting in a bowl of ice cream and the ice cre...

Re: Armo

In 2009 and 2010, Shaun Grigg was barely getting a game at Carlton, Shane Edwards was a fringe player at Richmond which won 11 games in 09-10 and Bachar Houli couldn’t get a game at Essendon so not sure any of them would have made much impact in our Grand Final midfields.

Re: Armo

David Armitage was an OK sort of player, never more than ordinary in talent, not particularly pacy and arguably, in retrospect, not worthy of Pick 9, or even top 30. Looking at the 2006 Draft, the following players were available at Pick 9: 12 James Frawley 13 Jack Riewoldt 19 Shaun Grigg 26 Shane ...

Re: The Saints team that didn’t play on Saturday night

Interesting post but the depth angle just says we have many similar type players who can’t impact games ie no superstars. I’d like to see more of White but he is a bit overrated on here. Only Steven, Hannebery and Roberton would walk into our current team and would make a difference. So Webster, Ba...

Re: Let's talk Finals

With our draw, we are legitimately a chance to make it. Could end up on 13 wins just by beating sides that are below or near us on the ladder.

Re: Tony & No.11 / jax

I don’t get people on here sometimes. During the Lyon years, club is too secretive, coach doesn’t talk to the media. Now apparently the coach is too accessible. Nobody wants to come to our club. Hanners wants to come, and anyone else mentioned, they are washed up or hacks or both.

Re: Pierce - Good game No 2

Was stunned to hear Richo say that he hasn't seen him play all year. Yet another reason to be saying “sayonara Richo” To be fair, he hasn’t seen him live. I reckon he has seen him plenty on video. Do we really want our head coach going to watch Frankston live to see one player? I reckon what we hav...

Re: Lethlean wants to stay on and repay the faith

What is the fascination with who our admistrators barracked for before they joined the saints? Few of our players were saints supporters. Robert Harvey wasn’t, Lenny Hayes wasn’t and Nick Riewoldt wasn’t. Finnis is passionate about StKilda’s success. Whether he is doing a great job is debatable, I p...

If you think supporters can't affect the outcome of a game, you don't watch many Perth and Adelaide games.
