And if you believe the the only way to win a Premiership is bottoming out and tanking then knock yourself out

That’s a pretty solid effort.

Cmon Saint Pav ... our defensive unit just rode their luck

Forget also that this year they are currently ranked 6th in lowest points against

A bit of a myth that our draw was easy at the start of last year ... in the first 7 games we played 3 teams that were in the Finals from 2022 and played 3 teams that ended up playing Finals alongside us in 2023 ... including the Premier 6 of first 7 games were against sides that finished in the Top...

It's not rocket surgery and with the exception of say the Baby Bombers of 1993, history proves you can't take short cuts and snatch a flag with half of your players being kids. You can also snatch 3 Flags by playing a brand of tippy tappy crappy chaos football as Richmond did all whilst being last ...

Got more chance of winning 1st division in the lotto than us making they 8 this season. Those are the facts. We are well short on talent and way off the pace. We over achieved last season. It's about rebuilding over the next few years so buckle up. That's not fact (not yet anyway) ... that's your o...

If we win 10 or more of our next 14 ... I doubt we would be stumbling in

Yes the Cold Hard Facts .... We are all in agreeance that currenrly we aren't playing great footy ... let's call it a form slump ... we are struggling to score We sit 3 & 6 with 96% (28pts to the negative) ... our % is quite decent considering the win loss ratio If we are to play Finals then we ...

Agree with BM .... Windhager him

G'day Saints fans ... yeah look it was a very disappointing night and the not the result we were looking for..... we made an enormous amount of skill errors which is just not usually us and hopefully its not a trend .....

So are clearances that are blind hack bomb it forward kicks to no one Marshall is elite around the ground as a general play tall .... as a ruck in a ruck contest not so much If he is going to continue to grab the ball and hack kick it forward then maybe we need to anticipate this better .... Hawks ...

I will go with an odd number .... 23,537

With Higgins & Butler out what's our solution to a goal kicking small forward? ..... clearly missed against the Hawks

Some are saying Collard but then he goes and has a shocker against Box Hill .... are we going in again with no small forward?

We need to move the ball much quicker and with far more confidence. I have to hand it to Hawthorn for the way they shut down our run last week. Every St Kilda possession was under extreme pressure and we were lucky to finish as close as we did Did Hawthorn shut down our run or did we just refuse to...

Well several articles have alluded to Stephen Kellis being his manager with Ned Costello supporting Kellis Also clearly mentioned that it was the heat of the moment tweet from the couch so I doubt Pou gave it the greenlight .... just another rash, ill-considered, moronic opinion which bottom feeding...

It was either him or Membrey to be subbed to bring in a smaller player (Paton) to counteract their midget mids / forwardline

He went with taller Hayes ..... in hindsight maybe wrong cause Membrey did fkall in the end ... and it also left Marshall exposed as our lone ruck option

Kingy had a sly dig at Ross then ... Seb Ross He had 14 disposals against Port and 14 against Hawks He is supposed to be one of our experienced prime mid field movers ..... thanks Seb for all commitment to the Saints but time for you to be dropped or maybe just asked to hang em up .... as Kingy allu...

Hey Moods .... it wasn't even Phillipou's manager ....it was an assistant to his manager (Staphen Kellis) and the idiot couldn't delete his ridiculous tweet quick enough .... yet gossipboy Tom couldn't get on the phone quick enough I am sure there is probably a journalist in there somewhere but it's...

And we have lost 5 games 10pts or under A bit of luck here, a bit of luck there, an injury less here, a suspension less there .... and maybe we win 3 or 4 of those It's true we aren't playing great .... currently .... but I don't it will take much to turn it around Agree with Kingy that we are too s...

CLEARLY some Saintsational posters want to defend coach and club no matter how bad things look on field. Tom Morris isn't the story here. Don't attack the messenger. It's embarrassing for the person who made the comment. Same with the Draper podcast. You can't erase what has already been said. I'm ...

Struggling to see how Phillipou has gone backwards under Lyon when he has only ever played under Lyon and is output has been around the same mark.

CLEARLY the fkwit assistant manager is a fkwit

CLEARLY Tom Morris is a 3rd rate barrel scraping journo fkwit

I am guessing perceived pressure for the fumbles but that's the problem right there .... its the mindset of being the hunter rather than being hunted .... all day it felt like the Hawks were hunting us rather than us hunting them The players mindset has to change .... they aren't playing like we hav...

Dow, Jones, Sharman ... all in

Hastie Garcia Membrey ... out

Sharman to play forward and fkn leave him there ... can't be any worse than Membrey was today

The other 2 changes are no brainers for midfield grunt

He got charged and fined

There was contact ... head high elbow contact
