Who the hell is Shaggy?

I would assume Cam Shenton for his caveman hairstyle.

The less said about todays performance the better. Only Saints players that can hold head high would be Schneider, Shenton, Ledger, Pierce. The less said about game the better!

how depressing - pretty hard to make up for five years of poor recruiting - if that's what you'd call it - overnight. Guys like Ledger and White probably need to get a taste of top level footy sooner rather than later.
Whatever happened to our state-of-the-art football academy?

It was modeled on Police Academy

[Bernard Shakey]

Get Ledger in.

Whatever perceived weaknesses he may have become a bit irrelevant after last night. He deserves a game just as much as any youngster.

Expect the same result as TC, neither are AFL quality at the moment and I doubt Lurker ever will be. He wouldn't let the medical staff stop his chin bleeding today, because he wanted to be out there. It's all about Ledge, not about the team just about me!

[Kiedis]

Does Ledger get in this week ,surely deserves a crack instead of Sippos's who was very disappointing ,I think he needs a big pre-season and to be told he"s not the new Goddard and needs hard work to become 1/5 as good as BJ!

We need to be told he's not the new Goddard. Doubt that ridiculous thought ever crossed his mind..

We lose BJ & some bloke on here dubs him the 'new Goddard' & It's taken as some sort of gospel fact. Better yet, that It's the player's own belief.

Jesus..

Well Rhys was the new Dustin?!

I dont think he has ever acted in his life. He is far to tall anyway.

How is wanting to get back out on ground as quickly as possible to try help stop pathetic performance that was happening selfish? At least Ledger was giving 110% all game unlike 90% of Saints listed players. Far from selfish if you ask me.

Who said the academy was state of the art ?

the St.Kilda FC
apologies if your question was rhetorical

Sorry mate!
Just quoting from an article during pre season that Sippos's was actually included in in which he seemed to think hff was to be his new posi ,and also just saying that he needs to work harder ,as a supporter would love Sippos's to make it!

[sunsaint]

how depressing - pretty hard to make up for five years of poor recruiting - if that's what you'd call it - overnight. Guys like Ledger and White probably need to get a taste of top level footy sooner rather than later.

I'm with you 100% on those kids getting a taste at top level.
People are carping on about how they have to earn a spot, but in our circumstance, at this point in the year, it does not matter.
these guys need to see what the step up is like, and they they will know exactly what they have to do to improve and work on over the summer.
The ONLY persons who should be gifted games are Kosi, Blake, and Schneids good-bye games

Ledger deserves a game, White doesnt and it will make no difference to him if he plays or not. Actually i think it will teach him you dont have to work hard to play. Others think it will give him that taste so he trains harder for next year.

I"m with you Pluggs ,Ledger definitely deserves one and let White have one when he deserves it!

Sorry mate wasn't having a crack at you, just so sick of hearing this comparison!

White deserves a game before Lurker, at least he'll play for the team. Ledge just plays for Ledge, maybe it's in the genes.

About time we got serious and invested in our very own VFL side, none of this affiliate stuff. Most other serious teams have done it, why not us?

[BigMart]

Imagine the performance of the side without

Adam Cockie, Marcus Marigliani, Myke Cooke

We would have only beaten Bendigo

$ $ $ $

when only 32,600 supporters sign on as members it gets tougher..

when saints 'issues' cause sponsors to steer clear ( amazes me still that Essendon have' gained' both during this tough period yet the saints issues are- Personal and Bombers issues are team/club/player )

[HitTheBoundary]

Can anyone close to the club actually confirm what the deal is with Ledger?
On here I read that it could be skills, or attitude, or fitness, or decision making etc?

Does anyone know one of the coaches, or Ledger, and can tell us why he doesn't get selected?
(Instead of just guesses and rumours.)

[WellardSaint]

Someone said that Ledge gets called to the bench for rotations and belts the <deleted by babysitter> out of the bench, no runners or staff go near him apparently. Nathan Buckley arrogance maybe.
Hey we could use some of that passion in the seniors. Get rid of TDL & other softies.
Put in someone like Ledge who has fire in the belly.

[sainters4eva]

Went to the Sandy game on Sunday and paid particular attention to Ledger. Can certainly get the ball and is not afraid to get in and under and seemed to be everywhere. Skills were ok if a bit rushed. The one thing I noticed however and have seen at training is his surly attitude and the fact that he doesn't seem to interact with others, always on his own. It's as though he's in a world of his own.

prior to the game against Freo one of the wa radio commentators referred to him as "homesick ledger"
I don't know if it was a throwaway line or not
but maybe it is already settled and he is Perth bound and therefore not being played in the ones

I have only seen in him the televised games and agree he is a ball magnet, but his disposal continues to look very ordinary. he seems rushed even when no need to be. if he finds this an issue @ vfl level would give grave doubts as to how he would cope with the increased pressure of the afl

I do stress I don't claim the above observations with any authority - as stated I have only seen Ledge on the televised games over the last few years

And is your point just to put down our players?
