Ratten was on point tonight about the loss but you could see that it is not going to bother him nor stifle the positive direction the club is heading. For sure there will be blips along the way with this young team but I don't think it will be long before we will be a Top 4 force to be reckoned wit...

Easy enough to pot a guy playing his first game of the season, and without a real backup comp. Shane had a very good 2019 and could very well play finals this year. Oh, and I remember another player that used to bomb it a bit, he was most certainly in the best of his years sides (Jason Gram). Give B...

Hate potting players at AFL level as they’ve achieved far more than me. I will say though what does Lonie offer to the side. What are his strengths? Doesn’t have elite speed Poor foot skills Isn’t goal smart Isn’t strong over the ball or at the contest Poor overhead One sided Surely our next best p...

Ross needs to go, get Clark into the middle immediately and leave him there for the rest of the year. Which means we need to bring in either Webster or Savage to cover Clark’s move. I think we’re also playing one too many small forwards and they keep tripping over each other, I won’t bother saying ...

But explain how our 5 shots at goal from frees and Tex’s clear mark right in front not paid fits into the conspiracy?

I can, we had an umpire and Adelaide had an umpire, the other one was cheating

He's the type of player that you certainly don't want to be banging up around the packs. Jets have a different purpose, and it's no good if he gets banged up

On a side note, FWIW, the worst racial abuse I've ever witnessed was at from North supporters at Moorabbin about 30 years ago - and even worse yet at the 05 Prelim from Swans supporters. I actually reckon I've only been to about 4 or 5 games of footy since that night. Awful. Grotesque. FWIW, the wo...

So do ducks, chickens, pigs, whales, horses, and seals Not to mention rabbits Of those that you mention that we actually eat (in Straya at least), we generally cook the shyte out of it to get rid of much of these things. There is a propensity for less of this 'cooking' these days, especially for re...

Hey Saynta, if it was Carlton and Collingwood I'd have to agree with her. I'm torn tbh, on the one hand a swipe at Daniel Andrews and Labor, and on the other a swipe at us I'll give her second rate game!

Best thing is though...we got the money for a change

If it was an even playing field they wouldn't have to subsidise us. So - if we didn't get a higher than average share of home games against low drawing interstate clubs - if they gave us a fair share of Fri/Sat televised night games (instead of making us the "Sunday Twilight" club) - if t...

Question is, who out of the bottom half of the ladder do we stop beating us to it? Melb, Carlton, Dullbogs, North, Freo and Essendope could all embarrass us severely this year. We need alot of improvement to beat all that lot before we start looking at extracting someone from top 8 If we do though, ...

I expect that Jake will be 'front row centre' in the group of players benefiting most from the removal of Cho. Next might be the captain, closely followed by Gresh/Billings

Yes, a gun - if only he could be bothered to fire. Haha came back from a serious back injury last year, probably wasn't even expected to play a game. Before that he was generally in our best few every week. Pretty harsh. I can see it from both points of view. He has the talent, and if he had the de...

Don't we hold the record for the largest crowd at Docklands. How did that happen? Is is simple really. At the height of our popularity in recent times, playing a Victorian team in a Stadium that only fits 55,000. Our supporters turned up. Considering the A-League squeezed 55436, and the NRL got ove...

I don’t know BFUSA, Kind of feel like what ur saying is kind of a perpetuation of a bizarre way of thinking that has crept into the game over the last decade or so which is to describe intangibles, use stats (speaking more broadly on that point) to justify a view that is just not evident. I’ve hear...

Pls tell me about Coffield. My U/15 C's experience aside, I want to know why he's got people excited. To me, I expect that Nick will have already had the 'ah ha' moment as he seemed to switch-on late last season. He could also be another Acres in being a late bloomer (hope that doesn't bite us) or ...

Thanks damienc, this is just what was needed for Christmas. I am a believer too, and you know what I'm so excited about? it's that we're finally getting things right 'off field'.

Go Saints

Bruce and Steven got us over the line!

Or... Ben longs tap to Steven, Hinds composure to not blaze away and spot up a leading forward won the game.

Yep, we won't win a game in 2020 without them

Can someone explain WTF "hunts the ball" means? Are you serious?!! You trying to be funny or are you just ignorant of football vernacular?? I suggest that it is literally ignorant football vernacular. It makes no sense. Well I was hoping you were just being funny. You people doing life a ...

Correct me if I'm wrong ... "Hunts the ball" to me refers to someone who pursues the ball hard, and with intent - even if they sometimes don't end up with it - i.e., it's the opposite of someone who hangs back and just waits for the easy pickings, an easy handball receive. Hunter Clark is...

I heard that we are after a bloke who kicked over 50 goals this year in the WAFL with our first pick. Mature age 23. One of our selections we’re taking our academy player. Hopefully nobody bids on him Developments this afternoon about Chris Masten joining St Kilda as an unrestricted free agent. Lio...

Hospital is a bad place to be if you are crook. Some guys did a study a few years ago and found that the further you lived away from a hospital the greater your life expectancy. I did a similar study some years back and found out that the further I lived from my ex-wife, the greater my quality of l...

Hell?! The 80s were hell!!! In the last 4 years we’ve gone 2019 nine wins 2018 four wins 2017 eleven wins 2016 twelve wins Haven’t played finals but 3 of the four years we were competitive with a f***load of injuries and an average list I agree, the wheels fell off after Rooey retired. We played so...

What we got for Tony Locket nearly won us a premiership. What we paid for Hill won't matter when he lifts the blokes around him next year I'm sure you'll tell us all how well those picks have gone over the next couple of years too, well the successful ones anyway :roll: At the end of the day, we got...
