so often it seems that people
and it can be commentators, supporters memebrs or even just general football people get caught in the cycle of "Support by correction"
trying to Fix what's wrong....

But what do you see as Currently being "Right at the saints"
what are they doing ok at?

I know there is always better practice but there must be something you each see as "going Ok"

The only encouraging thing for me is RL was forced into playing inexperienced young players, and most showed they have the goods for the future.

We're good at releasing players who go on to do well at other teams. Have been for a while now...Stewart, Perovic, Greene, Lockett, Lappin, Smith, Spider, Carr, Hall, Wakelins, Ball...etc etc etc...

We must give them good apprentiships....

So nice to see how helpful we can be and how we make so many fans (of other clubs) happy

Maybe we'll look back on this year in the future as the year that we began to build another premiership-contending team. Siposs looked good as did Cripps (SUPER-SUB! Imagine what he could do in full games).

> The year has shown that although our development won't rival Geelong's just yet, we do have some kids that can play. Steven, Simpkin, Ledger, Walsh, Cripps, Siposs, Winmar show that we do have some kids ready to play.

>Think McEvoy has impressed us all with his development. He is ready to take the mantle as our number 1 ruckman.

The shining lights for me have been Steven, Cripps, and even Armo. I rate Armo. Sure, these guys dont excite me like, say a young Jones, Brown and Smith did, or the young brigade of '02, but at least its something.

Well, I like the colours, eventhough we only have one.

Playing on and moving the ball quickly, several good young players coming through. Steven, Armo and Mc Evoy all establishing them selves. Fisher, Gwilt, Peake, Jones all have been good for different reasons. Went close to Geelong and Carlton. Played well in patches against Hawks and Pies. Played largely without the full input of Goddard, Gardi, Kosi, Schnieder and Rooey.

All in all with a terrible draft largely out of the way things can only be looking up for us.
