Every chance you’re right. Not sure if Richo will survive it though, and still not sure if I want him too.

Seriously guys, “uninformed, malicious, bulls*** crap, slanderous stuff, cheap shots, troll”. I don’t post often, but I can guarantee you I don’t post any of that stuff and never have. I’ve heard talk about young Jack for years, going right back to his final school year, and posted here because it ...

Really!? Disappointing if true. What have you heard?

Enjoys the party scene a bit too much.

“Great insights by David King”. A combination of words I never would’ve expected to see on Saintsational. Shows how low we’ve sunk.

bulls***. It's not drafting, its development. All our players can't be s***, it does not make any sense. Its 100% development. Look at Wright, started well, now the coach barely gives him a go. When he does, he gets 1 senior game and gets put back to the reserves. Tom Lynch anyone? But lets all bla...

I’m sure Longmire is a better coach than Richo but let’s do a comparison of the teams after we’ve had 10 years of COLA followed by 5 years of an academy giving us the pick of the best youth in the state. We were the beneficiary of the AFL rules in the early 2000's but failed to capitalize. We were ...

Indeed. I was going to google image search for a photo of him in the Saints garb to compliment my OP.

Well I’ll compliment it for you - good OP.

The fact that Rooey didn’t even like Richo is probably saying something, piss that campaigner off asap. I haven't heard that before. Is there a media source on this or is it just grapevine stuff? Have also heard this from very good source. Older players (Roo, Joey, Fisher) saw right through Richo. ...

Now that is a quality post.

I gotta be honest. I'm staggered by the all hand wringing that's been going on. I'm surprised that everyone thought we were going to be any good this year? Not sure where all the hope was coming from. Almost as if we were entitled to be better because we've been crap for so long and someone promise...

Just means we give away more frees than our opponents.

Agree, but why do we do this? Has been happening for years and I don’t accept it’s because umpires “cheat”. What is going wrong in the way we play and why can’t we correct it?

Maybe we need to try a bit of Hawks or Swans footy. Whatever we’re doing ain’t working.

Weller 5. Amazing how these guys can kick it between the big sticks when no pressure.

Am I correct in recalling that Elshaugh was at the club in the Rossy days and they got rid of him, but brought him back to help him out as he had some personal problems? Wife left him or got sick or something like that?

Yep. The players never had a problem with him.

Bevo.

Agree. Thought he was good.

Because Jack is our best player.

Thanks for nothing Tipsy Topsy.

Number 1 most damaging draft non-selection in the history of the AFL draft. By miles. Not necessarily worst decision (such as Fiora over Pavlich by Richmond) but most damaging in cost of premierships given how close we were multiple times over that time-period and given our historical lack of success.
