I'm not 180 deg wrong. Of course the best result is winning a flag. Problem is the odd year in between when we don't win a flag. Surely you have worked out that following the saints is not flag or bust. Only really hawthorn supporters in our lifetime could exist that way. Anyway I have said my piece...

I do get you. That's the sad bit for you - you have lost your youthful exuberance when it comes to the saints. It doesn't matter how old you are - we are around the same age I think. You are a cynical old man and I am a youthful old man. Lighten up. This year will be fun because it has hope. Not for...

Problem for you is that you're not fishing.

Must be fun at your place Pluggsy. Oh it's Christmas - hooray! "Don't get excited sweetheart, it may rain later" It's my birthday - hooray! "Don't get excited sweetheart, what if you fall over and hurt yourself. Won't be a great day then" If we as saints fans can't get excited ab...

oops = thanks

What time do they kick off?

As CEO Nettlefold earned $700,000 per year and lost the club money and sponsors. The players were good though, as you have wisely pointed out although I doubt he had much to do with that.

There is no doubt that Choco is a nutter but so what...plenty of nutters coach good teams. Look at Clarkson. If his team was crap he would be seen as a crap coach. He has a star team and is seen as a guru. Sheedy, Malthouse, Pagan, Hafey, Choco and Clarkson - all pretty much insane yet they are prem...

Tasmanian Hawks fans have a tough life. 11 Premierships + nearly folding / amalgamating with Melbourne in the same era. Softest fair weather supporters in the league - I cannot stand them. Hawks supporters should look at Saints supporters with envy. We have had no success, lost several winnable GF's...

You were a crap coach and I hope you never get a job again.

One thing he does do, that I bet you don't Dave, is run a $200 m company. If you really have a look at the financials, they are in great shape and look really good value right now. I know this isn't a share forum but it looks like a well run company at a good price. Dave your pot at AVJ is just stup...

Coaches are overrated anyway so why not Harves. At least he's not a raving lunatic like Choco, Sheedy, Malthouse, Pagan, Clarkson etc. The fact that those 5 madmen are premiership coaches just proves that any goose can coach if the right players are there. Get some good assistants around him, draft ...

You know Big Mart, I reckon you are a flog of the highest order, but you are right on one thing...we are the worst run club in the AFL...and I am sick of it.

Well this board better know what they are doing because it looks like a c*** of a move. I have been a member for many years. I have donated to lots of saints stuff. But s*** this looks badly handled. What can you do...as a supporter you cannot change clubs. As a sponser you would just never consider...

Fixture looks good to me - much better than last year

And none after that it looks like

Dunnel is no good at AFL level

Dunnel is just no good. He must be delisted. Same for TDL

Sounds a little obsessive....

Yes Plugs, I was surprised to finish bottom 3 this year. As I say, I am a chronic overrater of our players.

I always overrate our players but I just cannot see this team finishing bottom 3

Yep Plugs. The youngins have a year to learn from Lenny and Monty (maybe 2 years). We have to hope that we draft well. At least we have a chance of fixing the lack of young A graders in this and the 2014 draft. Hopefully some of the young mids on our list can step up. We need 3 A graders in the midf...

Plugger our young mids will be a year older, have another pre-season under their belts and will still have Hayes, Steven, Armo and Monty to show them the way. We also have Savage. We will hopefully recruit 3 young mids along with the young ones we already have on the list. We also have Jones, Ray, S...

Dunnell just has to be flicked and probably Ferg too

How was the coffee??? Apparently that is important.
