Re: A shout out to the Warriors!
Yes we are all diehards I remember going to the U19-reses-seniors all at Moorabbin taking 2 buses up warragal road as a 17 year old It was tough with no mates following the saints back in the 70s and getting a lot of crap of them but you stick at it. My son is now a saint but I do suspect he at time...

Re: Bassat has a lot to answer for
I think we need to calm down. We all know our midfield is second rate at best, and this is primarily the fault of Tony Elshaug, not Ross Lyon This club has not drafted a single A grade midfielder in 15 years. Lyon is acutely aware of the impotence of our midfield. He has been dealt the additional b...

Re: Ye old Cordy
Last year we had cordy up forward with Higgins and butler who were kicking goals and had score involvements butler has barely played this year either has Higgins so that was a big factor in our goal kicking.

Re: Mid Season Draft
WE do need to take someone I here we are keen on a HBF at sandy as if we need another one of those.
What we do need is a tough mid or a Ruck who can play a bit.
There were a few on show in the recent state game SA v WA

Re: Zebras v Tigers
Heath was not bad for being solid he got the player of the round that is 2 weeks in a row when he has played really well, it might be that he is starting to get what its like to be a AFL footballer.
Lets see if he can back it up again against Casey.

Re: Ye old Cordy
This year, Howard has not been beaten in a 1v1 defensive contest. Cordy has a 20% loss rate, which is good but not 'premiership full back' good. Interestingly Howard has not had a handball this year. Turnovers in favour of Cordy, disposal efficiency in favour of Howard. https://i.imgur.com/mkFhIBD....

Re: Ye old Cordy
I really like cordy he is smart and reads the play well but unlike Dougal, Battle, Bonnar he does NOT turn the ball over constantly he is very safe with the ball and makes good decisions. I don't really care about his stats as a Backman he has a job and he does it very well he covers well for the ot...

Re: Pick 3 in the draft
Would you be happy with a 2nd round pick for Battle? The odds of a 2nd rounder being at his level is 3-1 imo Prefer to keep him - draft picks mean FA Look at Geelong and Norrh I am not sure Battle wants to stay as he has had a offer on the table for some time now and hasn't resigned. Also a few tea...

Re: Gold Coast, Ben Long
When are the suns going to made to treat there academy players like all the other clubs being able to pick them until pick 40 before they can match a pick.

Re: Philipou’s Manager
How many times did Marshall grab the ball at the Centre bounce and attempt to kick it? How often were these kicks effective or led to a goal. Not many,if any, if I recall. Is this the nub of the mids problem? We all know Marshall is not a good tap ruckman but is good around the ground. Also when Ha...

Re: King ...out of form or
He's not the wrestling contested mark forward he thinks he is. Needs to play much further up the ground. Kind should play at CHF he has the athleticism to be a champion CHF. He would generally only find 1 opponents there and with his skill in the air and below his knees would be a hard match up. He...

Is it time to play Pou at HBF
I would pay Pou on Half back line it would allow him to get his hands on the ball build confidence and he would have a lot of experience around him. Its about decision making as he has a big kick he could really turn into a weapon there. Once he gets confidence back move him to where ever coaches wo...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing
Pou pick 10 in 2022 draft. IMHO Wilson has gone way past Pou despite Wilson pick 18 in 2023 draft and a handful of games. Garcia pick 50 in 2023 and a couple of games is as valuable as Pou and has overtaken Hastie pick 33 in 2023. But Pou will should continue to get games until the teams injury lis...

Re: Marshall
Xerri is a good player but any doubt i think Marshall gets a week rest and bring in Campbell. Assuming King comes in for Sharman, then perhaps make a call between Cama and Hayes playing as a forward and back up ruck Why would you drop Camaniti he has been good up forward there is no good reason not...

Re: Comparing our Outs to other teams

I hear you saying its to slow to big but isn't that what we need we often...

Re: AFL exposure for young players
I agree we need a Saints VFL side play out of Moorabbin under our system. All our players would play and train at RESA park all the time not train there a few times then off to Sandy to train as well it can not be good for continuity of footy. Plus the sandy ground is terrible to play on and very sm...
