We have had many mentions on the forum of our one paced mid field of Dunstan, Armo, Koby, Steele and Ross. All these guys play good games and ordinary games at times and don't have leg speed as we know, the other issue is none of them are a genuine clearance player? We get smashed in centre clearanc...

Richo and coaches have to start taking responsibility, they cant control how players kick for goal and their field kicking during the match but they can control how we train, game plan and who they pick. We can all see a one paced midfield just doesn't work, Dunstan, Steele, Ross and Armo (Koby), 2 ...

I wasn't saying that Ross, Armo, Steel and Dunstan are bad players, they all play well at times, Armo was ok today. Its just that I don't think we challenge the opposition at all when they are all in the team, there is too much sameness about them. We need to mix it up and unfortunately I think 2 of...

Just got home from the game, another disappointing effort. Our slow midfield really stands out as a liability every week, today it was Dunstan, Ross, Armo and Steele, we need to mix it up and help Jack Steven with some speed to back him up. Why we traded away picks for Koby Stevens and Steele I will...

Hope depressing listening to the Monday night Footy shows, Saints need to start looking for ways to win games. This week we need to try and nullify the Demons ruck strength, Gawn is a fantastic player, we need to keep constant pressure on him. Having Marshall and Hickey in the same team sharing ruck...

The kid has talent to burn but no confidence. Its up to the coaches to support him. Run him off half back? Play him in the center? Give him a run with role? Let him play on the wing supporting the defence? Give him a challenge and purpose. We need him to develop into the player he can be.

What the hell is Saints Footy, its embarrassing to hear the players talking about Saints Footy, Gilbert said it last night after the coin toss, "we just have to play Saints Footy" The brand of Saints Footy we are preaching is just crap. I know there is another thread about young Brandon Wh...

He did it twice. Have a look at Bruest's first goal, gave him 10 metres the goal just scraped in. Other teams man the mark with intent.

Watching the Monday night footy shows AFL 360 and On The Couch and how scathing they were on how the Saints played extra players at the contest and allowed the Cats to out number us in our forward line was a concern. The Cats had the game on their terms from the outset because of this. The look on C...

They wont sack Richo, if they did we would be the laughing stock of the league even more than we are now. I want our President and CEO to put the whole football department on notice, the game plan is s***, Richo thinks he has built a team full of contested possession beasts and we can hardly win a o...

I'm not sure how many people on the forum follow the NBA. My sons are full on into it and I really enjoy it but nothing beats AFL in my book. Since Brett Brown took over the Philadelphia 76ers in 2013 I have followed them closely because of his ties to Australian Basketball, he took over in 2013 abo...

I really hope he isn't cooked. He hasn't been great the last 2 weeks. I was really impressed week 1 in the JLT, and his hands and vision were really good.

I never watch replays of games we lose but I thought I would have a look at the 1st Quarter against the Crows because sitting at the game I thought we actually played well against a very good Team even with our overall skill level was poor. We created so many good opportunities we could have had 6 g...

Why why why was he not playing round 1 and 2. He was really good late last season and played well in JLT. Richo said he needed to earn his spot. Typical

Carlisle must play forward, I know he is our best defender but we need to take a contested mark in our forward line and be able to bring the ball down to our small forwards. Swap Bruce to backline, bring in Austin or Goddard, do whatever we need to do. We should have had another 5 goals in the first...

In regard to his reference of the playing group as "immature" and expecting to just follow on from the finish against Brisbane. The players got this 100% right nothing immature about it. We were really crap against Brisbane and followed on from that game and became even worse. If our match...

He has hardly played. No opportunity to get back in form, we must play him and give him 3-5 weeks. His bad day is still better than Billy's good days. He had an absolute shocker against Bombers last year however the whole Team did, other than that he hasn't had a chance to regain his 2016 form.

Did we even try and get him. He is a superstar. Im sure we could have offered more than the Hawks to him and Sydney.

Our kicking was just deplorable. You cant condone bad kicking and sub par performance each week by picking the same players, that gives the message that its ok. Webster turns the ball over every 2nd kick, they are crucial errors and cost goals. Billy Longer is a terrible player, he shouldnt be in th...

We look like we are playing a game style like Richmond in 2016. Possessions that lead nowhere. They kicked 5 goals against us late that year it was just terrible to watch. They had to change to move forward and look what happend. Roberton said after the game we had to move the ball from one side to ...

Hickey needs a few games in a row, just like Billy got last year. Yes he was terrible against Essendon but I feel he has a huge upside if he gets a chance. Hickeys best is much better than Billy Longer. I love the effort Billy puts in but he's just a liability to the team.

I would love to see Marshal in for Longer. Billy gave us nothing against the Lions, Marshal can help around the ground as well. Bruce can ruck more than usual to help him through his first few games, the forward line would open up for Paddy with Bruce in the ruck while Marshal is resting.

A Business Vision Statement ha to be achievable and it has to be the framework every decision is made around. I own an SME in Printing and Branding, I review our progress every quarter with our Management Team to make sure we are on track or focus on what we need to change or improve to get back on ...

Our new Leadership Group has really struggled this year. Weller has been dropped, Steven, Geary and Newnes have had worse year than last year and Armo has been injured. Some of these guys must be focusing a lot more on their own form than helping the kids as leaders. Seb Ross is the only one that is...

I don't think we should change our coach, but I do think our coach has been really outcoached in the last few weeks and needs to have a few tricks of his own, it seems like we go into every game the same, we move the ball the same way which enables us to kick 2 goals in a half of footy. Other clubs ...
