I think the last two seasons are all lowlight with no real sense of improvement. Sorry to be a grump but I think after 2004, I expected changes to be made to help us take the next step and nothing really happened and by 06 season the whole thing looked stale and predictable. This season was not smoo...

Well RB should probably stand down as Pres now and get it over with before any more destabilising damage is done to the club, it's clear that the rot has set in and it must be sorted out quickly. It seems the new challengers are not totally behind RL as coach? personally if I was RL, I would resign ...

Lets hope any challengers have a PLAN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CLUB, and not merely a sooky bid to remove RB as they don't like his attitude. If any ticket comes up with a proper plan, then great, if not, then what the hell are they doing? Just plonking a few ex players on a board with yet another ego-...

Geelong have been able to build around a core of experienced, strong bodied players like Ling, Chapman, Corey, Scarlett etc -all been able to stay on the field through most of a season for a few years. No doubt Geelong have had luck on their side on the injury front. In contrast, we have had players...

I reckon Geelong's supporters are right up there with the worst. This maybe a throwback to the neanderthal days which the Geelong area is only emerging from now, and a trip to Geelong will prove that people are walking on two legs rather than all fours..it's taken a while, but they are trying hard b...

Clearly to some on here, Sheldon doesn't know much about footy after being a premiership player in a successful club, then coming down and playing servicable footy with us, also being a coach etc etc. I remember back when Sheldon took on the coaching role, we finally got into a final after years in ...

The difference between us and the top teams is the ability of many players to run hard all day, four quarters. We have Roo, Hayes and Harvey and maybe SFisher who play like this, but then it drops off, there's a lot of talent in the team who don't apply themselves for four quarters. Some players are...

Dunno what the perfect scenario is- probably a board who appoints the on-field coaching/ recruiting personnel to win a flag and also who appoint a business group who runs the off-field business properly, and a board who can fight off endless half-wit challenges in order to keep stability...the curre...

Presuming everything goes well with Goddards knee, it might be mid 2008 before he gets full confidence back. Goose needs a full preseason and a bit of intense coaching to work on his lack of discipline on-field as well as decision making..he has strength and skills, but needs work. Definately need a...

If you want to build a premiership team for 2008 and beyond, you need a mixture of skill, strength and team players, you cant afford to have hot and cold players, chronically injured players who come in and out of the side -too destabilising. I can't see the following players contributing to a premi...

We've lost those last quarters largely due to our engine room running out of puff - probably more injury-related fitness issues than the club will let on. Our forward line was rubbish this year with up and down form from too many players. We needed Max's and Goose's hard bodies in good form down bac...

I remember back to Plympton saying how great it was having the Saints playing home at AFL park Waverley with all the future benefits. He changed his tune quickly, but that and AFL park are history now. I've got no doubt our past and present and future presidents are loyal Saint supporters who ultima...

I'm curious as to how people are basing anything around Gardiner - I doubt whether his foot problems will let him play more than a handful of games at any time in the future, same scenario as Hamill with his ongoing problems...their best days are gone.

Jones did very well over in the west, so it would have been silly not to grab him. He has had one year with us, and just as he was showing good form had a serious injury to inerrupt it for a number of weeks...not the kind of injury you bounce back from in a hurry. I think with an uninterrupted pre-s...

Simple, you want to build a team to win a flag then rather than talk axe, talk rebuilding, and some will come and some will go. A big issue is recurring injury-prone players who won't generally contribute the full season and lead to team unbalance, so RL will need to look at some on the list. Streng...
