I can’t see Phillipou playing the wing. To me he looks rather slow when he runs, looks like he’s dragging his feet out of mud. Doubt if he’d have the endurance to do all the gut running the modern day winger requires. I’ve never noticed him get out of a trot, even when he’s attempting to chase a pla...

Didn’t the journo junkie (don’t know his name) during the half time break against Collingwood (on Fox telecast) say that Battle was near signing a 6 year deal with Saints, only a couple of things needed ironing out? 6 years I think is a bit over the top for Battle, but then again the $ amount might ...

There'll be a surprise sub, he looks like Jason Statham but gets caught more often than the flu

Who is Jason Statham? What has he got to do with the price of fish?

The fkn world is nuts. Just look at the US and the apparent support of Trump.

Yup - sad isn’t it?

How’d you feel about Collard’s debut Loris? He was burnt twice by King and once by Owens, if it had been an ideal world he would possibly have had 3 goals then it would have been a masterstroke to have Collard as a sub. Alas, we will never know as he may have had the yips like most Saint forwards &...

Yeah have to agree especially considering its also a really special moment for the family that supported you to that moment...I hope the club played for travel and accommodation for is family to be there. Yes the AFL foots the bill for family member(s) to attend a recruits FIRST AFL game regardless...

More like Night Boat to Cairo (or Devo).

Don’t be slow
Oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no
Take the last train to Clarksville (The Monkeys 1966)

From what of hear of Battle, it’s a knee. I reckon he may be ok. Fingers cross Sincs if back too. The only other suggestion I have is that Coops could go back for a bit if needed but obviously he’s not key position size From the way Sinclair speaks in interviews & also I think it was Misson or ...

We’ve kind gone a bit early here… No point getting rid of him now… 10 months time he’s either a regular in the top 22 and looking good or he’s either a bit player that’s always injured or someone who is simply down on form and borderline top 22. That outcome pbly drives the decision making Cm’on sk...

I’d like to know too !

Geeez that sucks. Not meaning to be cheeky but he just can’t get a break. Pbly the single player on the list that would take us up a grade with him if he got close to his potential. Any idea how long the recovery is? On Saints.com that he is undertaking the concussion protocol - the fracture they s...

The Collard story makes sense without any subtext. We had a 4 day break, kid went home to visit friends/family after being whisked away after the draft. Caught covid, staying there until better. IMO Clark is serving the recommended '21 day' concussion protocols but we don't want to flag it as it's ...

Imagine if we were struggling mid season and got the opportunity to trade a mid range plodder like Russell Greene for a couple of guns like Tony King and Mark Scott!

I don't have Foxtel (can't justify the waste of money) And I cancelled my Kayo at Rd 23 last yr. But seeing as the praccy mstches are all live on Fox Footy+Kayo, I will restart my Kayo in 2 wks And I cannot wait to see the lads in action. Practice matches aren't the real thing, but we'll get to see...

Training Report 7th Feb, 2024 Arrived around 9.45am. Boys had already completed warm ups and were running through drills. Schoenmakers & Hayes in the rehab group running laps. Both looked like they weren't hampered by any injury so I guess they're working on fitness. No Collard or Sinclair at t...

Got a good idea of the look of the way they will line up

Like to expand on your idea & identity on how you think they may line up ?

Paton ruptured pectoral, out for at least 3 months :( https://www.saints.com.au/news/1486322/pectoral-rupture-puts-paton-on-ice That’s terrible news for Paton. He’s only clawing back from one very serious injury (thanks to Roughead) and now it’s another operation and months of rehabilitation. Bad l...

I was there in 1966, still remember the thrill of it like it was only happened last year. That feeling of absolute bloody relief when that siren finally sounded, left me sobbing uncontrollably. I’m glad the timekeeper kept his finger on the siren for so long, blasting its noise out again & again...

Webster was apparently an unruly kid who had a reputation for settling his arguments with fisticuffs, but Richo managed to channel that aggressive energy in a positive way, that benefitted both Jimmy and the team. Yes I was told by a very reliable source years ago that Jimmy was on his 3rd chance a...

Hi guys, I’m either OS or interstate until early April so no chance of seeing any training. I really enjoy the training comments by saint Mike, BM and others and eagerly await the next installment. Thanking you in advance 😁 I’ve been missing the training reports of late. We interstate supporters re...

You’ve forgotten Crouch

No need to rush, new rules in place to protect us from losing him until we know he’s worthy of a long and large dollar value contract. Didn’t the new rules only come into being to cover the ones drafted from this years draft (& future years)? I didn’t think it was retrospective to cover the Pou...

Is that a demotion for Lenny? Probably more a reflection on the type of players just recruited recently, and the specific skills they will need to play in the big boys game. Goddard is getting developed, more likely. Have a look at you go Mr PR spin man, always thinking on ya feet, I recon you coul...

Lenny & BJ have changed roles.
BJ is mid field coach
