Yeah, in the last quarter his awareness and judgement of himself in relation to the opposition players surrounding him in the middle was fantastic! He was doging and weaving all over the place like a rabbit; great agility! i reckon this kid is going to be a star!

Doesn't appear to relish the physical contact whatsoever.

Your posting reputation remains intact.

LOL!

I spoke to one of the players dads and asked why we had so many spare rotations compared to Melbourne ( the players were exhausted) and he said it was all about getting some extra run in their legs as we missed the match against Lions. It's all about round 1.

Breathtaking!

The quarter was only half over. It wasn't like it was the dying stages of the game. The Motlop decision happened with about 12 minutes to go (Running around the player clearly indicated he had run too far anyway). Gregson ran well over the mark where Mav Weller took his with a minute left on the cl...

Congratulations Richo! I love the way he says "our club".

All around me at the footy all I could hear from people were the words "umpire number 2"

For those who didn't know that Tom Lynch used to play for St Kilda, it would have been a handy fact to produce. They never mentioned it once. I suspect they didn't know. The amount of time they get the players wrong is amazing for guys who are paid to do this. Templeton kicked the ball a mile in th...

It is very sad news.; condolences to Nick and his family.

Goodbye Lendog your a champion of the game! To CJ and Gwilt you've been great servants of the club who've given you all! Farewell to all of you!

Sign up the man!

Is anyone seriously surprised? This will be about kids learning, and finding out just which senior players are up for the challenge. Well looks as though they have taken the instructions literally..... they are all just standing around watching. Yeah for a quarter and a half we were like witches ha...

Josh Bruce has been a great pick up for the Saints, and (IMHO) will become one of our most important players. Well done young man! I agree he his very important to our side. He is an athletic big man who gives enormous effort. His tackling and harassing is one of the reasons we were able to lock th...

I'm hoping his long stints away from the game over the past couple of years extends his career for at least another couple of years...that would be very handy. Our development needs him badly, plus he's a ripper to watch in top flight. Yeah would love to see him play on another couple of years. We ...

Not unexpected. I hoped he would go on one more year. All the best for your future Lenny you are a champ and a true gentleman!

Put Bruce back in the team!

Watching him all night and thought this bloke has not put a foot wrong. Good disposal and decision making. Will get more games with a performance like that.

Reiwoldt shoved in the back, no free, disgraceful umpiring.

Here's one big difference, Richo has coached exactly eight games. And over half his team has played less then 50 matches, many less then 20 matches.

But it's good that you gave him a decent long run at it.......

The voice of reason

There was a situation where he did a banana off the side of his boot to dribble the ball along the ground to a teammate, instead of hand passing it in order to avoid an opponent intercepting the ball. Footy smarts and amazing skill!

Well played CJ.

+1 gives his all.

Not making excuses however Tony 74 said the group was on a very heavy load at training. All of them look heavy in the legs, even Riewoldt and Lenny look tired. The skills and turnovers however are still appalling. Glad to hear that as the boys looked spent at half time. Even Gerard Healy suggested ...

Yeah, loved his enthusiasm, he's really hungry to coach. I'm pretty wrapped about his appointment.
