I don't think I said I hated Jones, certainly admire the way he never shirks a contest, always going in very hard in packs and he has been great for us but whether you like it or not his disposal is very ordinary which stops him being a top player as it also does with Gilbert. Surely both have been ...

After seeing most of St Kilda's games this season I thought he could finish as high as perhaps top 6 in our B&F. Yes, I may be a poor judge but unlike Jones he doesn't butcher the ball straight up in the air nearly every time he kicks it, also he is a reliable kick at goal plus he showed a hardn...

Geelong was the best team by far this year. They played Hawthorn and Collingwood each 3 times winning all 6 games. Look at the winning margins in their 3 finals. Give credit where it is due, well done to them. Hope with a new coach we can be right up there next year.

Someone here commented on his kicking out from goals??? What are they talking about? Goddard and dal Santo seem to do most of the kick outs. As I have stated before here he is the worst full back I have ever seen who keeps getting selected every game in nearly sixty years of watching my beloved Sain...

Joffa, best post I have read on here for a long time. You are completely right in all aspects. Also someone was comparing our list with Geelongs. They have wonderful kicking skills, we have the worst in the league for starters. Our coach said it may be time to look at our youth, who do you think he ...

Hey Joffaboy, you said Scollop's article was crap :oops: Please tell us all in hell's name who our new players were on Saturday??? Polo was the only one and he was picked up from another club. Someone said Archer as one of our new players, what a joke, one game and then dropped, Yes he played some y...

Are you for real???? You rate Goddard in our best 6 players this year yet a player who has yet to play a game for us ahead of him. You say he, Walsh will get games next year, have I missed something? Has Ross Lyon retired. He has been carried by our good players and has never trusted in youth, OFTEN...

Walsh who? At least Archer got one game before being dropped?

Shaw was on his own all night .Terrible coaching by Lyon. They had 5 players playing their first finals. Time for our coach to go along with Clarke, Rey, Polo and Dawson to name just four. Why didn't he have Goddard resting up forward all through the match? Our future is not bright as we did not hav...

The first 3 goals by the Blues were all kicked by Dawson's opponents. He looks clueless at times and he was moved because of his ordinary display. Saying that our back line without him looked much better and he certainly moved much more like a confident player on the forward line for us.

Yes we had won 6 in a row which was a top effort but please tell me which of those 6 teams will make the finals? West Coast certainly but who were the other 5 we beat. My concern is for the next 2 to 3 years when our best players will be getting close to 30. Also Baker, Blake, Kosi and Gram to name ...

Hey Plugger and others. For the last 4 weeks we have not played ONE AFL first year player. Yes he has played first year players at times but they always seem to be the ones to get dropped. He has no vision for the future, look how Steven has blossomed due to Lenny's terrible injury, amazing what a f...

Why not try him on the forward line? Give him licence to go anywhere he likes on it. At least he would hit the forwards with straight low passes plus he would take pressure off Roo, also he can compete anytime in the air with whoever they put on him. He is hard at the player and is a very reliable k...

Was there to see Carl's debut, he was outstanding all day, but ran into big John next week against Carlton and being so young was given a football lesson. Dean Greig was also outstanding in his debut but i think Plugger may have kicked 16 goals that game. There has never been a debut in VFL or AFL t...

The umpiring was so one sided in the first half it became a joke. how many times did they they get caught with the ball yet never got penalised. Harry O'brien just dropped it cold to the ground in front of the ump yet play went on plus Dempster took a great mark in their goal square , yet was not pa...

Why does he keep getting a game? We must start trying someone else there for god's sake. We would have been in front at half time only for him. It is getting beyond a joke now Ross, you only have to read the comments here. Most of us here are fair minded supporters but enough is enough, if he gets s...

Hey Curly, how many excuses can we keep giving him? He was pathetic, couldn't jump, could not run and could not mark. Why is he getting games, surely our coach is playing favorites. It's damn time players earnt a game with us. Saint supporters around me on Level C on Saturday were all saying he was ...

Best summing up I have read here for weeks. Evertonfc is completely right. Could someone send a copy of it to Ross please? Get games into these young players Evertonfc listed from now on to see if they are going to be our future, if some fail to impress so what, at least we will then know. Yet once ...

I haven't said to sack the coach but how in hell's name does he keep giving regular games to Dempster, McQualter, Dawson and Kosi to name four. Also Gram and Jones surely must be on thin ice too. Three grand finals is a great coaching effort but Ross, stop playing your favourites which also includes...

So you want Roo and BJ to pay for every clanger they make :oops: :oops: At least he often hit his teammates with passes and handballs. Have a good damn look at Baker, Blake, Mcqualter, Jones and Zac in action recently. Week after week they are butchering the ball causing so many costly turnovers. Al...

Of the 18 selected on the field at the moment I reckon there are 5 of our regular players who would not get a game with any of the teams in the top 8. Baker, Blake, Mcqualter, Kosi and Jones in my opinion. It would not surprise me if the whole 5 are gone by next year. Certainly cannot knock Baker or...

So many supporters have said how disappointing Baker's game was with his slowness in moving the ball plus also going backwards so often. I agreed with them yet I pick up the morning paper and see that our coach was thrilled with his game. Has Ross loss the plot or are we all just very poor judges he...

Just letting people know on this forum that I go under the name The Sainter and that is a different supporter who goes under the name The_Sainter.
That's all. I am the old one who saw us win in 1966 and hope to live long enough to see it happen again for all you keen supporters.

Trade Roo at 28 yet some say we will be much better when Lenny comes back. Are they serious? Hayes will be 32 then and coming back from such a serious knee operation. He has been superb as we all know but he is not Superman. Kosi should go and with him Gardiner who must be nearly 31 now and always i...

Would agree with all those four plus also Baker. In sixty years of following my beloved Saints, Dawson is the worst footballer I have ever seen to get a regular game. He took 2 marks on his own and still kicked one of them short and terrible to a Crow player. He is always well behind his man and run...
