Ross good first half, then inexplicably appeared to man up on the goal umpire at the bulldogs end with no other player present, this was a highly creative coaching move!!

Sickening ineptitude. No one makes a target, no one knows what to do, no attacking plan.

Seb averages 29 per game - Clint was a tagger and never got near that.
Silly Comparison,

While I really liked Hammil's impetus - he was rarely a prominent player. In this list you are missing the Bakers, and Milnes!
We had significant players on every line and a team approach that we are lacking now.

I don't know about the players - but he has lost me. I can't even bring myself to view the coach report each week anymore - it is just magnifies my disappointment each loss, so much. Where is the spark, the PLAN to CHANGE, the PASSION? Where is the energy and the ideas? Corporate jargon doublespeak ...

Someone had to be given a attacking strategy, but if there is no one in forward line, kick it high and wait. Lol

Worst quarter in 40 years?

Oh, s***!!!

In the old days we used to meet before the game, just saying! So much animosity and personal sledging .. mateship over the saints has almost evaporated on here.

What has happened to Paddy, that's the question after watching this video. Injured? Concussion affected, coached to mark with flat hands? No encouragement to lead and attack the footy?
It's all very strange!

I am not sure why people keep saying that we need to keep Richo because of the money it would cost us? Surely we are losing 100-200K PLUS EVERY SINGLE WEEK we only get 17,000 instead of 35,000 because we are playing like CRAP! It would not take many weeks to recoup the amount of the payout with some...

Is there a failure acceptance scapegoat?

Let's all party like it's 1999 ....
Then agree we have had two equally totally s*** starts to the season in 20 freakin' years!
The difference being that in 2000 we had some great players!
Not sure which coach is worse though.

We are rabble right now!
Hold a Special AGM and have a vote to change the Board!

And I couldn't give a stuff about winning premierships, it not why I started supporting the Saints, if it was about that I probalbly would have ended up supporting Richmond or Hawthorn which where the clubs zoned to the area where I lived and were constantly up the top end of the ladder when I was ...

Lol and lols!
Go Saints and Hickey!

Well done Gilbo - has been a great player and a great servant of the club. His hardness and experience is much needed right now to lead some of the younger players who are still learning how to step up into the big games. His performance, with the switch up forward, with 3 goals in 2010 GF was somet...

That is hard to quantify Mbogo. AFL players are judged harshly. For the most part they are very young men. Most captains are in their mid to late 20's. At that age it isn't easy to express a differing opinion to an intimidating coaching panel. Let alone an opinion that would be taken seriously. I d...

Whether it is a leadership strength or coaching weakness is a matter of interpretation, I guess!
If a leader were to, say, go and research overseas developments or policies for six months, and no one notices - is that a reflection on their leadership capabilities, or a strength?

Looks to have outstanding potential. That goal was something else - at that time! It raised everyone's energy at the game by about 15% - when people were thinking - oh ok, honorable loss! He could become a real contributor to our resurgence if he continues like Saturday.

It was a HUGE step forward and an enormous reversal of a desperately poor trend.
Well done to ALL at the Saints this week. I am so PLEASED I was there!

Apparently, Richo let the players coach themselves today - reading between the lines in the Age> Sounds good - let's do more of it. It was a hugely exciting turn around after the past few lacklustre performances. I was wondering how come our best clearance players repeatedly took the ball out of the...

A must for the Hall of Fame. One of the best players of all time IMO - saw him tear Ablett apart a couple of times. He ripped through everyone at Victoria Park that day. Totally underrated! Should never have been let go - and sadly, we never cared enough - in 97! We could use a Nicky in the side thi...

Here's hoping our coaches turn up this week!

Leave Con alone - he is aggrieved after yet another pathetic performance, totally justified. We need stats on turnovers, on kicking to 1 vs 3s, on handballing to people is worse positions, on atrocious kicking everywhere, On desire and passion and on why no player seems to care. On the times there w...
