Re: SEN Umpire dissent

Its simple dont question their decision ala every other professional code (except Soccer). The 50 metres are harsh and costly but the players know where they stand. The AFL took the stand to eliminate it as a result of how it flows down through to the lower and junior levels. AFL is an emotional sp...

Re: Why Saints Must Finish Bottom 4 2023

The Suns last night illustrates perfectly why high draft picks doesn't always equal a decent team. Multiple high draft picks for over ten years and still useless. And you don't need to finish last to get high draft picks. Port got No 1 pick from North after just one year at the club. How does that ...

Re: Match SIM squad v Melbourne 24/02/23

Yes it's a huge disaster, almost tragic actually. In fact it really makes what is happening in Ukraine, Syria and Turkiye pale into insignificance! Seriously, this was always going to be a game-olan development year. We are going to tread water mid ladder until 2025, when the youngs uns start to de...

Re: Match SIM squad v Melbourne 24/02/23

5 out who have claims of being best 22. Not ideal but not a disaster either. I'd suggest most of the year most clubs have 3-7 out any given week. (made up statistic with no research) Hopefully we dont get any more before round 1. I dare say it is a disaster. You are correct, most teams have 3-7 inj...

Re: Let’s get serious

This is the first time since Lyon's departure in 2011 that I've felt that we're getting things right. Watters was a disaster, Pelchen was a disaster, Elshaug was a study in incompetence, as was Alan Richardson. The moving on of Elshaug was the first step in the right direction.

Re: Ross Lyon put saints back ten years by not playing youth

I was fuming when Lyon left us, however over the years it's become obvious that the club stuffed the situation up just as much as he ditched us. Lyon is tough and ruthless, precisely what we've been missing. If his name wasn't Ross Lyon im sure many more supporters would be all for it. In saying tha...
