yep i pretty much gave up 1/2 way through the season. i think those who thought ross couldn't coach might be a bit quiet (me!) those who thought are list was rubbish and ross picked a lemon side are a bit wrong too. looks like the mechanic tuned the engine just right this game. next week lets see h...

Given the endless Sack Lyon this year how about a little credit for RL and his gameplan now???

Here, Here, could change the way some people think around here, either way, it will be a bit quieter on that front,

Giddy Up!!

The true student of the game will appreciate a true genius of the game

I said to me missus last night..better I start ringing me old Carlton friends, then I thought, nah, the best thing is knowing that they'll be expecting it!!

TOO BAD FOR YOU"S

so dal santo's form, on average, as opposed to one game, leading up to his being dropped wasn't good? go back and have a look at how dal was going leading up to being dropped, heck even us hacks on the forum had him right up there with the best on the saintsational poll for best player. as for miln...

Thanx guys, the missus is a Bomber, just as passionate as a Sainter!! makes it hard sometimes although at least I don't have to sleep with the dog tonight....although....she prefers the Saints, ha ha

How close Brisbane at present??

I think sometimes we need to take our biases out of the equation, whether you like Ross, Grant, Stan, or Kenny (left out Tim, bless him), they all have a plan, some good, some not so good. At least with Ross' he saw a weakness and has been trying to eradicate it. When the boys switch 'on', they stil...

They were dropped for their pressure, defensive side and accountability weren't they? How many tackles did they have? My point is maybe they were also dropped to send a message through the team that no players position is safe and if necessary for lack of performance, attitude or whatever he wont h...

Ross was always on a flogging to nothing. I saw what GT. was trying to do, but last night the defensive game complemented the attacking game (something Sydney never really had), the boys were able to do both at the same time. Enthusiasm has created this and finally understanding that we can play as ...

The two "back" ovals at Casey, although they do hold a bit of water and with the Turf pitch in the larger of the two (where it gets a bit muddy), would still be among the premiere playing fields on the peninsula, for what they were designed for (junior footy). We are proud of them and in f...

I would seriously want the club to lose this week, i'd be so filthy. Without a doubt, I want them to struggle and regret using me as an unworthy scape goat. Thats how I would feel as an AFL player in his position, and anyone that has played would know that player loyalty isn't the same one of which...

The much maligned Sam Newman was telling us about this for the past 3 - 5 years and where did it get him? there is so much about so many games now that is hard to fathom when it comes to umpiring, it's just not funny

?Which of RL's pick ups have given the best value by the way ?" I would say Michael Gardiner is probably the pick of them at this time. I agree, enough players from other clubs. C oncentrate on the young at the next draft/trade season. And I ask you all one other question; what exactly did the...

this club has made me depressed and negative, my poor missus. i vent my spleen between 6 & 7pm each night 24/7 to mickyb (fellow forumite). I wish i barracked for a franchise, eg. Victory, crows, storm etc. watch the game and forget about it. I bleed red white & black. My kids will also. It...

I, possibly as others might, have at times questioned my love of the Saints; sure, after having always passionately wanted that flag, they almost also always have provided frustration. Well when I think of it, back in the dark ages (late 70's - early 80's), it didn't seem to matter as much, we weren...

As I have mentioned in a couple of posts, but will expand upon here, I think part of RL's problem this year (with part of his gameplan)...is that our runners have not been good this year. Pace and run with dash off your HB line breaks lines and sets up attacks. Good running can get through zoing an...

[quote="SB10"]Something drastic needs to happen this week to wake us up from this bloody slumber and kick-start our season. Don’t care who gets dropped, it’s time to inject some youth and enthusiasm into the team and blood the kids. Play three debutants all at once - Ben McEvoy, Jack S...

imo lyon is good enough whether he can manifest the way , is another matter we gotta stick fat The way I see it there is 3 out of every 4 posters here with a better plan for the Saints, 9 out of every 10 better coaches :roll: and the same old same old. we all are frustrated with things, but you hav...

Now I haven't watched any of the game nor listened on the radio... all i know is that we lost with a very negative brand of football. Now I'm going to make a little prediction here... The brigrade of players on our list that many forumites refer to as "Not so skilled but make up for it with th...

There's only one topic we should be discussing this week and that is how did we become so soft? We have a soft admin, a soft coach and a soft team. In short, we're SOFT! Yep and until we change that around we will never ever be a threat to anyone! Should have slammed Port tonight. no one likes sayi...

What could be worst is Carlton or Hawthorn getting there first.

by the way, we should learn from the Demons and not let our whole team get old together; at least we are showing faith in the rookie system these days

He will come out and say we are 3 and 3 at the moment, I am happy with where we are at. What a crock, he should not be happy with any loss or anything less than 100%. The supporters are not happy Ross. Listen and do something about it. Look what happened last year, got lots of pressure and changed ...
