Re: Saints v bears match thread
Our lack of pace and poor decision making could see us lose this one. When we actually played football rather than handball late in the first quarter we looked but they seem to have forgotten that.

Re: No Dunstan!!
Would not worry about the apparent lack of a whipping boy, surely Ben & Koby will fill that role they haven't got much else to offer. Reflection on the ability of our selectors when any one of the emergency's would be a better bet than either of these two.

Re: JLT2 Match Thread Saints v Demons 2018
Can't kick, can't run, can't stick a tackle, can't hold are mark and everybody is blaming the bad performance on the lack of a game plan. Let's face it most of our players are not capable of following a game plan and very few have the skills to be playing at this level. So all you posters that are d...

Re: Starting 22 2018 what we'll see/ what you'd like to see.
After Carlton JLT we are crying out for a Tall, Mobile,Marking defender. Clavarino seems to have vanished, we need to put time into him as he could eventually fit the bill. Hopefully another Lever of the future

Re: I want to be excited about the season.
Although I believe we will get a glimpse of our future I think finals are probably two years away. A lot of teams are further down the track than us so will not be surprised if we drop a position or two on the ladder before beginning a rise. How far we go will be helped by some inspired recruiting w...

Re: Predictions: Time to call it - Who do we draft in 2017?
Impossible to guess what our recruiters will do. Only sure thing is they will be of good character and from a good family.
Won't matter if they are ordinary players with chronic fatigue or some other medical condition.
Hope I am wrong but our track record at the draft isn't great.

Re: Logan Austin
Forget players we need to get some recruiters that can make things happen and not be duped by their opposite numbers at other clubs. Take a leaf out of the injectors book, they are like the Mounties always getting their man.

Re: Why don’t they wanna play with us
We are a long way off playing finals and anyone that can play a bit will look else where. Most of the players we have picked up are B graders that would struggle for a game at most of the other clubs. Our best option is to go to the draft with our picks and ensure that if our dodgy recruiters pick u...

Re: We are beginning to look stupid
It is a given that our recruiters are mediocre at best but their task is made more difficult by the fact that no half decent player wants to join us. As a destination club we are about as popular as Afghanstan is as a holiday resort

Re: Ok, Serious Coaching Thread
All very well to have a number of different game plans but I suggest that our current group of players will struggle to cope with anything that is not very basic.

Re: Hawks 1st round pick watch
After all the early excitement it appears I will be correct in a very early post suggesting that the Hawks 1st pick will be later than ours. This is not hind sight just knowledge built on many years of following the Saints.

Re: Operation Get Kelly 2018
After today's display I would suggest that any half decent player will avoid the Saints like the plague. Best to go to the draft where they will at least stay for a couple of seasons before looking for greener fields. Any body we are likely to pick up at the trade table would only add to our surplus...

Re: Match Thread Saints vs Dees
No use blaming the coaches with such an insidid unskilled slow moving and brainless outfit on the field they have nothing to work with. The saying goes you can't make a silk purse out of pig s***. If Kelly is watching he will have put a big cross through St Kilda

Not a bad idea Con but as far as I know Connelan can't play unless he has been upgraded from the rookie list

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
The only thing worse than our field kicking is our kicking for goal. Will be almost impossible to win with such poor skills and the home bias of the umpiring. Although the umps aren't kicking it for us but perhaps they would do a better job.

Re: Will We Deserve to be There In Sept?
Don't want to be a killjoy but see the Freo game as difficult to win over there and the rest of the run home is against better teams or teams in better form so making the finals seems a bridge too far.
