Re: The horrendous midfield

Having Ryder & Marshall in the same team just makes our structure so much better add Jones to the mix then we have a very competitive midfield . Steele is just a gun ,Dunstan has been amazing ,Crouch is a great pick up . If we get the right team on the park & play with that intensity we can...

Re: Thursdays Saints question time?

I keenly await the end of season clean out where under performing players and other poor performing personnel closely associated with the on-field playing group are shown the door. End of season is the time to be pragmatic and not let emotions rule. Mistakes have been made, nobody should lose face b...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 13 2021

What a poor effort
Looks like pick 4 in the draft. Let’s hope the club doesn’t stuff up that selection
We’re a joke

Re: Lethlean’s appearance

You're right, he's representing our club and not a pack of bums from New Jersey. Look sharp Simon, you're getting well paid to handle a difficult and responsible job. Look the part and be professional.

Good suggestion. We were very sloppy by hand and foot on Saturday night compared to the Dogs. Their skill level was way above ours, a player like Hunter would enable a quicker release of the ball from the ball ups.

Re: Can we still make finals?

To factor in the loss of Gresham, Jones, Marshall, Paton, Geary, Carlisle and the continued injuries to Hanneberry means that there are too many quality players unavailable for selection. We just don't have the depth to cover these injured players, nor do I suspect many other clubs would be capable ...

Re: Ratts on pathetic result

I don’t reckon anyone thinks Ratts should even have his position considered - we just made and won a final. He is clearly a decent coach, no arguments their Was perplexed by some things this season tactically, but there was surely some method behind what I considered madness?! I just don’t think co...

Correct, he does alot of hard work in close and under intense opposition pressure. Watch the game and you'll see how hard he works.

Re: Identity, Leadership, Teamwork - all challenges

We were going nowhere in a hurry so all this change is brilliant. Hopefully cloggers like Newnes, Rice, White, McCartin, McKenzie etc will be delisted and maybe Phillips also.

And just like that, we throw the game away.
