Re: AFL not investigating Zork

If reports are true about the Bastinac connection, then I doubt Petty wants to drag his sister through the mud. Probably a very poor sledge by today's standards, but doesn't warrant action. These days it's better to play footy and keep your mouth zipped. So it was a “Carslile” Murphy type sledge ab...

Re: 60,000 members

60,000 however comprised is a good number, yes. Good bench mark for new CEO. The Saints TV guys say Saints home game day experience is worst in the AFL. I agree it is poor. Hopefully keeping 60,000 entertained will cause the Club to lift their game in that regard. Two things re GameDay experience: ...

Re: Pyss off Lloyd ya flog

Re: Pyss off Lloyd ya flog

A few thoughts. Anyone that thinks what Ratts says in public is the same as behind closed doors is a little naive. First instinct to protect and support the player , And not add to the pressure by keeping it indoors is paramount. Saints would give access to the best, he currently works with an elite...

Re: He's Only 22

I, like every other Saints supporter was terribly disappointed in King's chronic waywardness on Friday night, and yes, if he'd kicked straight St Kilda would probably have won that game. But I think it's quite unfair to unload our frustrations out on the young fella, instead we should sympathise be...

Is he a midfielder? Don’t know much about him. Fill us in.

Prefer not to unless it’s unavoidable as I do think NWM is going to be very good. But perhaps Sinn is as well.
Very punny.

Re: Are we so used to failure…

I believe we have institutionalised mediocrity and that is reinforced by the current group of players, coaches and administration. I think why so many here are attached to the GT-era was because it was the first time in our history that we matched a desire to win with a belief that we could author ...

Re: Positives

You make a really good point Crossy66, both Jordan Lewis going to Melbourne and Luke Hodge plus Grant Birchall to Brisbane have helped both those clubs to turn their fortunes around significantly. The lack of elite on-field leadership has been a major problem at St Kilda for a long time and has bee...
