9-1 centre clearances against in the second half. Needs something Someone not something LIam Henry, Brad Crouch, Mason Wood, Paddy Dow, Hunter Clark Add just one and St Kilda defeats Essendon. Just add all 5 and Max King, Dougal Howard (better than Zaine Cordy) & Jack Hayes (ahead of Cooper Sha...

No real domination by any Saint out there, but these guys tried hard

I reckon Lyon was out-coached today and also in the Geelong game.

It's all talk, forget it.

Crouch was proppy going into the Geelong game, and it cost us in the midfield, and may have just cost us the game. Hope he gets over the knee ok- a good opportunity for others to step in.

Hope Max gets off with a fine. As far as Arie goes, one good game in the twos doesn't guarantee you much, surely he needs to string a few good games together before considered for senior selection. If Butler is fit enough, he would come in for Henry, and if Max does sit it out for a week, then I wou...

The premiership is a cakewalk...err wrong club song

The midfield is stop and prop once they lose possession. Windy is trying hard, but none of the midfield is controlling the ball. The forward line is all over the shop- playing from behind, out of position. We have two strong marks in King and Membrey who won't play in front for some reason, trying t...

Hit outs are some what overrated. That said how many complete ruckmen are there in the league- centre square , around the ground and possessions. Considering there are on average maybe 25-30 centre sq ball ups it is a trade off to some extent and he wins some of these, so say it is 10 v 20 but Roma...

Pou is a talented, motivated young fella, and the club just needs to make sure they use his skills correctly so he can develop. I think midfield experiment isn't working, but keep trying guys.

It was a night of sh%t umpiring, but we also got a few gifts and one may have resulted in a goal to us. Those umpires should all be sent up the bush this week

A reasonable effort, but still it's a loss and we looked sloppy in skills, midfield largely flogged, but then Geelong were just a little bit more sure in their ball handling. A pity Dempsey got two pretty easy goals by standing by himself, not sure who is opponent was, maybe Wood? Disappointed that ...

Pou is a way off yet, but will build and is not a midfielder. A talented young player who should be developed in the forward half and some of this should be done at Sandy. The game was lost in the coach's box the other night.

Yeah we look unbalanced last night, and moving Sharman around was pointless- he is a forward as is Pou who is not a natural midfielder. When you have a losing midfield, then it's hard for forwards really take on the game.

Byrnes probably our best player, Higgins, Owens, Crouch, Steele, Wood, Ross probably our worst

Ross Lyon is not a Jones fan Lyon gave him some direct feedback at training- about taking the kick, and not trying to take on and beat 2/3 players Jones argued back - Ross later heard saying I can’t put up with that s***! Big effort by Collard Sub I reckon I've noticed in the past that Jones gets t...

Park your car on the footpath outside Kardinia Park, and fly a couple of Saints flags while having the car stereo on loop blasting loudly with "oh when the Saints go marching in..."

Probably not- our midfield is too slow, and if we can't get any drive from our half back line, we will lose.

Good player, but I don't think he's a match-winner. I hope he gets back soon though.

Yes, I'd say that suspensions handed out during Michael Christian's tenure have for the most part been hopelessly inadequate. He should have been moved on three years ago. His appalling failure with the Pickett two week suspension last year should have been the final nail in his coffin. However, it...

As an older Sainter, I know how much this club has been shafted at the tribunal, and our weak administrations over the years just bent over and took it. I also know that we have had too many di#khead players who couldn't control their anger at times. But watching Webster the other day when he lined ...

Can't believe he did it- didn't need to, wasn't tough and he can wear the bloody consequences. Should spend a bit of time at Sandy when he gets back.

As there will be no AFL superstar compensation and he doesn't play with a "big club", Jimmy will get 6-8wks. It was no worse than SPP's hit, but the AFL will go hard at him. It was worse than the SPP bump every way you look at it. Webster lined up the guy, elbow up and jumped off the grou...

Webster's tackle was just weak sh*t and I hope he gets whacked with a big penalty. I want to see the Saints get our next premiership, and with Websters types running around doing their own thing and not the team thing, then it sets us back again, as it has in the past with so many Saints loose canno...
