Re: Saints frontrunners to get Sloane
His leadership alone would make a big difference, he is also great at centre bounces and around the ground clearances. We have a solid group of players coming through and will have another group of kids in the next few years. These players need a role model to lead the way. Seb Ross, Geary, Newnes, ...

Re: McCartin V McCartin
Paddy played ok against Swans. He should have kicked 4, he needs to start converting. I was really impressed with his field kicking when up the ground. He is getting better every week, playing forward to our mids would be tough.

Re: Our centre.
This is our biggest issue. Not backs or forwards. Mids are slow but are not contested ball winners and have no outside run. Our backs struggle because we lose centre clearances and other clearances. Our forwards struggle because our mids dont have any leg speed to get clear and deliver a good ball t...

Re: Brisbane interested in Billings!!!!!
Interesting post. Brisbanes first pick for Billings and Hickey? I think Billings is going to be a great player for us or another team. His good gamess are very good. Hickey wasnt great against Swans but hes a good player and seems to be getting better. If this post is on the mark Its good to see ano...

Re: Ins and Outs v Gold Coast
Can we please make some changes in the middle? We got absolutely destroyed there when the game was on the line. We've been getting beaten there all year. I would much rather see Lonie and Weller line up in forward 50 than the same guys lining up in the centre square. Keep in mind that Gold Coast ar...

Re: Jimmy Webster our best player
I dont know if hes winning the B&F but your right hes our best player right now. Amazing improvement over the last 6 weeks. I was very critical of him and Newnes but Webster has really improved.

One positive. We could be one step closer to change. The footy department is running out of excuses and pulling the wool over everyones eyes.

Re: Tonight feels different
It does feel different. Sitting at the game last night watching the lack of fight and desire in the first quarter was as bad as the North game. Before the game Richo said we have players back in form and have our game back. He has no idea and thats the worry. Long term a loss to Gold Coast might be ...

Re: Has Richo lost the players?
Richo has definately overated his players. Our mids are the biggest issue. Ross, Steele, Dunstan, Armo, Koby are all good players but all the same. Slow mids that Richo thinks are contested ball beasts. They dont win enough contested ball it puts pressure on backline and gives forwards no chance. We...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 12 2018
Its harder to develop our kids because they don't have the role models and leadership, Roo and Monty helped a lot but were surrounded by Geary, Weller, Newnes, Seb Ross, Gilbert. Now Roo and Monty are gone development will be even harder. Look at the Swans kids, they have Kennedy, Hannebry, Parker, ...

Re: Seb Ross
Seb, is really overrated, I think he has really gone backwards in this season and towards the end of last season. His defensive work is really poor, he guards space a lot, second efforts aren't great and doesn't win his own ball consistently like he used to. I know Jack Steven wasn't great tonight e...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 12 2018
I want to know what the club is going to do about this. Presidet, Board, CEO etc. 1 win its a disaster. Footy department told them we had a top 4 team. Must be held to account.

We cant put up with this crap. We need to start again new coach he has no idea, draft some mids with leg speed. We just cant win a centre clearance. Im sorry I know the footy world raves about Seb Ross but he isnt a great player. Very poor defensivly and second efforts a non existent. Cant beleive I...

I thought I heard Richo say in a grab on the news "you wouldnt believe we are number one for precision disposal" What is it? Im wondering how can we be number 1 for any positive stat?

Re: We're on Track
I really felt we went off track when we traded for Koby Stevens and Jack Steele. It didnt make sense. These 2 gave us nothing different, 2 more slowish mids. Both good players but they didnt improve our list. And now we know that Richo loves having 4 slow mids in the mix every week and we get thrash...

Re: Jarryn Geary no left side
Geary is not on his own. Critical mistakes every week by Geary, Newnes, Savage and even Seb Ross. Club puts up with it and usually praise them. Doesn't help our young players development when this happens.

Re: Lethlean admits St Kilda’s expectations “have to be” realigned
At least we are starting to get some more realistic statements from the club. The spin is stopping because supporters, football commentators and journalist's have called BS on it.

Wow, they are delusional. The leaders and mature age players are the main problem and the coach accepting thier poor performance week in week out is shocking. Geary, Ross, Armo, Gilbert, Savage, Newnes, Weller even Bruce and Roberton when they were playing are inconsistent, poor decision makers and ...

Re: Goodbye Armo and Mav
Richo said Armo is playing a new role as a forward because we are undermanned. He was just terrible last night, slow and not mobile, just the way Richo likes it. I was disappointed with Seb as well, racks up possessions but only hurts us not the opposition. He should have been on Pendlebury when he ...
