Re: Do you enjoy supporting the Saints?
My wife doesn't enjoy me supporting the Saints. It controls my mood for the weekend. She can tell when we lose. Today is Mothers Day so I'm trying hard to be upbeat. Following this team has now become an obsession, for 55 years I've been asking "when is it our turn ?" My best mate, my brot...

Re: Mid season draft
Kobe Ryan from West Adelaide. Midfielder who knows how to find the pill and is a competitive animal. Would be leading the Magarey medal this year. I'm a bit biased, I watched him star in my son's team since auskick. He is the nephew of James Gallagher so you'd think we'd be looking at him. A great k...

Re: Membrey should have been subbed off, Not Hayes!
We just look like a team that doesn't care, a bunch of head droppers !! Is it the leaders, is it the coaches or is it the game plan ? There is no excitement, enthusiasm or fun ???? Time to make big changes and take the hand brake off. Stuff team defence, it hasn't worked ( the ball still goes coast ...

Re: Team v Roos
Are we a bit too tall ? Both our small forwards are out so I thought Collard would come in. The ball might come out of our forward half too easily (like usual) if it hits the deck. I love Hayes but his selection says Marshall is missing ??

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Everytime we go to the tribunal I send my mates a photo of Dennis Denuto from The Castle with the quote " it's the vibe". I've sent it about 6 times in the past 2 years and we get shafted every time. I thought he got a knew photocopier !!!! Seriously something is not right. Our legal team ...

Re: Match thread Saints v Dogs
RTB thanks for the coaching on tackling and team defence.... here's a tip. If we get the ball first we don't need those skills. It's a simple game. See ball. Get ball. See big sticks, kick between them.

Re: Match thread Saints v Dogs
Is this really happening? Not one Saint is worthy of a mention. The rabble bulldog players like Lobb, Naughton look like superstars. Something is wrong internally at our club.

I know the people that weren't there will roast me but ended up being an amazing day for my wife and I. Couldn't get a ticket and gee I was unlucky.

Re: Max King 1 match suspension rough conduct
I can't believe how bad our record is at the tribunal. For years I've been saying our lawyer is the guy out of The Castle.... I know he finally got a new photocopier but he's still useless !!!!! The vibe just doesn't work any more.

Re: Crouch out over 1 month - Knee
We're starting to have depth now. The first 5 games last year exposed some kids and our recruiting has been good. We can cover all these injuries now, the only one I'm worried about covering is Marshall until Hayes is back. Don't rush these injured players back and they'll be cherry ripe for the mos...

Can I just say living in Adelaide watching on TV a game against the Pies at the MCG. I am so proud of the Sainters fans tonight. Our home game I know but through the.tv you guys were amazing.

Re: The need for speed in our midfield
We all have to remember that Paddy Dow was recruited for that reason, he has the speed and the inside players will be needed to feed him. In every position (apart from the ruck) we have depth now. It's a long season, the players that are currently underdone will play a role. Wilson, Henry, Bonner an...

A bit of help from regular game attendees pls
Hi All,
Just looking for a bit of advice from fellow Sainters. I'm coming over from SA for a footy trip with 6 others. One of the games is Saints v Roos at Marvel on 4th May. Do you think we should pre-book tickets or we'll get decent seats if we buy on the day ? Cheers

Re: Brayshaw - leave thread here as it affects the future of footy in general
To give some perspective Brayshaw retired because of his history of head knocks. Caminiti was unlucky because the guy he barely touched had a history. McCartin had a history and pretty much ran into a player and was concussed, do we blame Paddy ? I feel Maynard was lucky to get off for a game or two...

RTB's presser was brilliant. When he coached us years ago it was the most confident I'd been as a supporter. His reference to listening to Buckley's advice and recruiting and playing kids says to me he's still learning.. he knows how good Enright is so he will put his attention to the centre - forwa...
