What the hell are Long, Sinclair, McCartin and Steele doing in the team today?! Sinclair is a waste of space... bring in Coffield. McCartin needs 50 games - in the VFL!! Steele is our best current tackler - yet he won't tackle anyone! And Long... just taking up space. Pathetic Saints! Any wonder we ...

Five positives: 1) Coffield IS very good 2) Clark IS very good 3) Jack Steven seems fit again 4) Armo is back fit and rusty 5) Paddy played and took two marks Red Flags: 1) Coach HAS to be on notice 2) Compared with opposition - NO obvious game plan (after 5 years!) 3) Compared with opposition - are...

Bains says: “That type of player hasn’t changed clubs during this period, there have been a whole range of other players, and as a result of that we haven’t wanted to do anything rash. “It’s a balancing act, your fans get restless that on the surface you haven’t done anything, but at the same time o...

We don't seem to know much about other players... look at the Freeman deal! How many years has he been with us. No fault of his own mind you but he remains on our list. Gotta be the unluckiest player at the unluckiest club - in history! Now Smith is gone too... and Lever... what the hell is Bains do...

[quote="spert"]If you wanted to pick a club for your future on this year's effort, then you go for the Bombers. We looked really ordinary too many times this season, ended the season like a lead balloon and are clearly a long way off finals.[/quote] Sadly, based on performance I find mysel...

Yeah... but how many Clubman of the Year awards has he ever won..?!

There's a bloke in the Ovens and Murray FL that has won the last 3 Best Clubman awards at his club and I bet the Saints haven't been anywhere near him..?!

Obviously the 'industry' knows something we mere mortals are not privy to... like game plan (Is there one?)... Premiership window (What does that look like?)... on the move again (Back to Moorabbin!)... perception that we are a fun club to belong to but not serious about winning... Several BIG names...

[quote="samoht"]Our selectors really need to think about balance - I mean, Lonie and Gresham - we really need to go with one small!

Gresh gets the nod, obviously - you can't play both.[/quote]

And Gresham is NOT that good!

[quote="PremiershipSaint"][quote="Bruce G McAbee"]There has to be some serious changes at this club over the off season. We need a better direction because we're going no where.[/quote] Starting with a new coach.[/quote] Bloody oath. Get someone at the top who knows what they are...

Ed Phillips - 12 months Jimmy Webster - 12 months notice Tim Membrey - Keeper Josh Bruce - 12 months notice Josh Battle - 12 months Koby Stevens - 12 months Hugh Goddard - Trade Nathan Brown - 12 months Ben Long - Trade David Armitage - Trade Sam Gilbert - 12 months Billy Longer - Keeper Dylan Rober...

Richardson HAS to go!

Player Review at end of season 2017: 45 - Jason Holmes - move on 44 - Mav Weller - late form poor. Move on. 42 - Lewis Pearce - Move on. 41 - Darren Mitchington - lack of opportunity. Move on. 37 - Bailey Rice - 12 months - then move on. 36 - Daniel McKenzie - signs. Stay 35 - Jack Sinclair - Keep. ...

As good as he was... no.

There's another 3 hours of my life I'll never get back!

[quote="ralphsmith"]Melbourne are absolutely s***.

Sad we were so crap in the 1st quarter.[/quote]

That makes us "sh***er!"

Just a word to the AFL - NONE of the umpires today will get the Grand Final this year! They either don't know the Rules... are too slow in their reaction time... or perhaps just plain incompetent?!

Get Grant Thomas back at the Club next year! Turn these 'boys' into MEN!

Any reason why Gresham is still on the ground... still being selected week in - week out..?

I can just hear the Coach's Message now... we need to improve some of our key indicators... we went away from our structure... they wouldn't let us play our game... we didn't bring our 'A' game... Instead of - there are a few players who will not be with us next year... if you can't harden-up over s...

Players falling over... protecting "the space"... boys playing against men.

Out-coached! Out-played! Amateurs! This is embarassing... and the game has just started. Get rid of Gresham... Weller... just for a start. And get some MEN into the Club. Starting with a MAN for Coach.

[quote="Bruce G McAbee"]Last 4 games also very lose able. Sorry, we need major changes at the end of the year. We simply aren't tough enough, can't score. I am happy we won't make the finals because we would just get smashed in the 1st week.[/quote] A truer observation has not been made in...

[quote="philtee"]So many incidents cost St Kilda that game...twice playing on from frees in the forward 50 and missing etc. Kicking 3.12 from first 15 scoring shots is another. Carlisle on his way to being Saints B and F for 2017. Maybe only Billings, Dunstan or Ross could take it off him....
