Groundhog day Saints Fans. Coaches comments: we couldn't handle their pressure at the start of the game, although we expected and prepared for it. Sinclair interview after the game: we have lost centre clearances the last few games and we're well beaten today. Yes groundhog day. Why did we expect a ...

Stupid arrogance letting Hind go. He obviously would have struggled to make our so called DYNASTY team.

Our club is embarrassing.

Rattens game plan is really bad. I'm not sure what he changed from last year to this year. We couldn't win a contest in the last quarter..

Ratten doesn't need to go. He needs to stop giving the players an out every week. He needs to have a good look at himself and the other coaches, it seems like the little tweaks he spoke about last December have been costly. Have a game to suit the team like last year. I want to hear more about how t...

Getting a bit sick of Ratten and his game plan. I thought we had a ripper coach but not so sure any more. Our field kicking and goal kicking should be a focus for the rest of the year and we need to nail the best mid available with our first pick which will be a too 10 one. Very disappointing.

Watching Melbourne last night and the surge running they do with and without the ball plus all the one percenters. We are miles behind. They came back this season on a mission look fit and full of confidence. We came back thinking we could build into the season and peak during finals.

Good luck to him. He played ok. Im just glad he moved on from us and wish him luck for the rest of his career.

He played really well. Hard at it and skills were really good. Well done to him.

I feel as we have been taken for a ride by Steven and the Cats. Playing the mental health card made sure the Saints hands were tied. All of a sudden he loves footy again, is going to get fit, happy and looking forward to a great year with the Cats. Lets hope we can do something similar to the Cats o...

This would be a terrible trade for our club. The smug Geelong FC get everything for nothing. I woud rather keep him and hope for the best. Pick 58 is insulating and if we need to pay part of his salary it's embarrassing after such a good trade period . Dont do it Saints.

It really sounds like Jack Steven is going and the Saints are happy to help him due to his health battles, and thats fair enough but I would be pissed off if Geelong tales advantage and we get nothing on return and end up paying a large portion of his contract as reported. I hope he changes his mind...

Tigers are a good team but bloody lucky they are playing an Interstate team in GF once again. The Eagles are the only Interstate Team that can challenge at the G. When we played in our last 2 GF we play a super Geelong Team and the best Team of the year Collingwood.

Hill would be a great pick up. We should try and do a deal for both Hill and Langdon. This years first and next years 2nd? Both very good players that will improve our list big time.

Just mentioned on On The Couch, Rowan Marshall is the number 1 ranked player in the AFL since round 11. What an absolute star. He doesn't fumble, puts in a great effort every week.

This list has been built and players developed on Richos watch. The comments made last year that we have a top 4 list were sold to the board by Richos footy department. A change at seasons end must be made and we need to start again. Very disappointing outcome 8 years wasted and 6 under Richo.

Ross was listed as our best player on the Afl site. I just dont get it. Ross and Newnes should be dropped next to teach the team that a poor performance in not acceptable any more

Richo and the club overate our players. Thats why we dont improve our list. Thinking we had a top 4 list last year was ridiculous. A new coach would may not coach a lot better than Richo but they will look at our players differently. Other than, Gresh, Billings, Membery, Marshall and Hannerbury toda...

We are making real bottom team errors. All the good work gets undone very quickly. Very disappointing, I hope we can turn it around in the 2nd half.

White did really well up forward. Really surprising. He read the ball well, marked well and pressure was good even though he was badly injured. Reminds me of Finlayson from GWS, probably worth another try up forward when not injured.

I dont beleive its our gameplan or effort. Its our players. Even though they try hard having Seb as our premier mid and Josh Bruce as our key forward as well as persisting with others who will never be better than C grade is our issue. Seb should be our 3rd or 4th best mid as he would at another clu...

Its obviously ok to our coaches that Kent cant kick, Newnes is Crap and Parker keeps making mistakes because they are always picked. Thats the standard they accept and why we never improve.

The biggest issue with our coach this year is that he overates certain players on our list and therefore doesnt look to develope players that can overtake them and make us a better team even though it could be a short term step back. An example is Newnes. He has reached his highest level we should b...

I dont think he will come to the Saints but he will coach somewhere again. Maybe the Blues. I remember Leigh Matthews saying he always thought Brad would make an exceptional coach but was surprised Chris went into coaching and how successful he has been. I wonder if Brad ended up at tha Cats what hi...
