We have not been out of the eight all year. Yep, I agree we probably won’t last there but honestly how many of you after Round 21 would have thought that. We have a group of new coaches and a new game plan. There will be a turnover of players at season end as the coaching panel mould the squad to i...

The so-called defensive master???

We kicked one goal in an entire second half on our own dung heap.

Only St Kilda…

I’ve had a gut full of supporting blatantly worst football team by a country Mike in the developed world and I’m done with the attitude that we accept the mediocrity for what it is and still stick far, because that is what so called decent supporters do. Ban me. I’ll be glad to be gone and the major...

What this has proven, we will NEVER win a flag

The fool from Sydney throwing a tanty!

The team are a bunch of LOSERS!!!

There is a thing called clearance. Maybe our midfield should hear of it one time.

Enough said. This is Hawthorn all over again.

Screw ‘em. Biggest laughing stock ever

What do you exist for? To be the team that no matter the margin, your opponent can have their come back of the season??? Enough. Mediocrity central this stinking excuse for a football club. Screw you Lyon, you can’t coach a team to seal the deal. Screw you Tony, you just advocate and support mediocr...

Mini was pick 17 Highly credentialed junior, ok career Hugh Goddard was pick 21 - not first round McCartin was a huge error at pick 1 but was a top 3 player Billings was rated top 3 - has played 150 games averaged 20ppg as a HF Was Steve Silvagni a recruiter at GWS or list manager A lot of people g...

I have never wavered in my support of the Saints, but my patience will be tested if Silvagni starts rummaging through the bins at Princess Park and recruits a bunch of not good enough players, like he did at Carlton when recruiting GWS rejects. I don’t know how much say Silvagni had with recruiting...

Our preference is to resign him - no doubt Although Ross would be concerned about his lack of running power - speed and endurance But I definitely think he wants a fresh start, as he did last season! Sometimes for a change of luck, players need a change of scenery Didn’t he get his nose out of join...

Stupid act by Caminiti. He’s a hot head and will need to learn discipline. Or, maybe that’s how he plays his best footy and we need to accept he’ll have a poor tribunal record as a consequence. However, the act itself while stupid isn’t warranted of a week suspension. They should challenge, even tho...

Thought we missed Doogs tbh. I know he makes some bonehead decisions with ball in hand but as a pure 1v1 defender he's rarely beaten one-out against the monster forwards and is super important for our structure allowing Battle to play looser / 3rd man up and Wilkie to take the less powerful/more mo...

While we are dealing with whingers on year of discovery at Saints these numbers highlighted just how well RTB has done in bringing through kids this year Note: 2022 King played 22 games ….this year 7 2022 Membrey played 22 games…this year 4 Games played by players aged 20 under 2020: 40 2021: 48 20...

Lethers is one of the most overrated football administrators in the game (I’m sure Tony will tell us what a huge loss he would be). The Hannerbury & Hill trades being his great claim to fame before inheriting a CEO gig from Matt “Fake It ‘Till You Make It” Finnis says it all. Hawthorn are welcom...

Agreed. I think this year has proven that Ratts wasn’t necessarily the problem, but the list in general (11 years of ham-fisted recruiting to thank for that). Where the club really made their epic fail moves was first extending Ratts’ contract for a further two years on the back of some early wins....

I have us winning 2 more maximum 11 wins which is one less than last year I think? Disappointing from 5-1 Means we’ve gone 6-11 since r6 LOL - after the last couple of efforts - I could see 0-6 as a result Me too. Almost got done by the worst team of the last decade and we’ve already been beaten by...

Nothing has changed. We had a mediocre team 12 months ago and we have a mediocre team now. You didn’t need to sack a coach (who you only reappointed for a further two years 6 months prior) to reinforce than within an 11 year rebuild, who’ve at best assembled a mediocre squad that can threaten a push...

Madness that we stuck with Richo for as long as we did.

Admittedly, wasn’t helped by Pelchen and Trout’s dismal recruiting.

Agreed, too many years in the wilderness. Need to get some finals experiences into this mob.

Comedy Central the other day!

Only a proper f***wit deadshit would recommend that. Someone with no f****** idea.

Agreed.

David King is a gold-plated dick head.

What was brave about our ball use? What would’ve been brave would be to win the game with two on the bench. Not to spray the ball i50 and at goal. Agreed, our ball use was putrid. It was brave in the context that we didn’t get blown away. But like I said, Melbourne barely shifted a gear the entire ...

Bad luck for the big fella. Hasn’t been hitting the scoreboard much in recent matches but he’s at least been a target and provided structure, which we’ll miss. Agreed though, his body conditioning needs a lot of work, as does his ability to hold marks. Still a bit too easy to defend against in a one...

We’re still in 5th spot but will likely lose that to victor of todays Crows v Dons match. However, we will still be in 8. Run home is as follows - Sun at GC - probably lose based on current form and injuries. North at Marvel - should win Hawks at Marvel - despite the previous disaster, should win Bl...

It was a brave loss in respect to injuries. But, Melbourne didn’t shift from third gear at any point during that game and they still never looked like losing. Quality of our forward entries were hideous, turn overs from the back half almost as bad. No injuries, would the result have been different? ...
