He has no trade value. He has been out of contract before and no one wanted him. If he wanted to leave it would be for a late pick.

Don’t panic… Talk of rebuilds…. How about some freeekin’ results for once. Tired of the pathetic excuses year after year after year. Hawks side is s*** on paper and if they are back playing finals in a year or two then what does that say? We’ve had so many years at the bottom to bottom 6 and STILL ...

The coaching group are very very good in my opinion. The team is not as good. We are a 6-10 placed team. Let’s be realistic. Most of you would have put us in that category before the season started. We are going ok- not great, not poorly. It’s a work in progress. As Sainters we have learnt to be pa...

Luke Parker suspended is a good result for us.

Sounds like a head knock for Bytel. If true it at least means he shouldn't miss much footy with the bye

So it is the list??? Last year it was the coach? I laugh at this whole BS claim that this year is an "exploration" year. Why is 1 year needed? So does the magic happen at the end of the season? Do we start 2024 with a list that can contend after our "exploration" year? Just make...

I thought it all came down to the coach? Isn’t the coach responsible for results Yesterday’s result was as poor as we’ve had for years It's a combination of coaching and players. The coaches need to take responsibility for Sicily going bonkers. He is a gun player so it's not their fault that he had...

Those numbers are alarming. Particularly Steele's, suggests he didn't get going at any stage of the game. On stats alone it seems Crouch was the only one that showed up. You can highlight other areas of the ground that didn't work but the simple fact is with those midfield numbers you'll lose nearly...

I was there today, and I was as disappointed as anybody. Results this round have been nothing if not extraordinary. Luckily the round has been kind to us - Carlton, Geelong, Melbourne, and the Bulldogs have all lost. The season goes one extra game this season, so the team are just going to have to ...

You can’t say they’re delivering week in and week out to earn their spot anymore.

Crouch was our best mid today by some margin wasn't he?

They are both defenders their team tries to get free to exit the ball from d50 Both had 40+ Both will get 10 coaches votes Anyway regardless it was an error to let both players dominate the way they did and something we need to improve on. I guess Owens would have been a good option for Sicily toda...

If you do a little research, there is a pattern of spare defenders dominating against us

Daicos and Sicily are a bit different though. What hurt with Sicily is how many intercept possessions he had.

The problem with st kilda is the players and the coach . We all know how Ross coaches . For him to be successful he needs 6+ champion players . Unfortunately at the moment we've only got a few . Those in the football department would be happy where we are at the bye . Ross has talked a few times ab...

So he ends up with 43 disposals including about 16 in the last. Basically won the game off his own boot. Ross said in the press conference that Sharman did a good job on him in the third but lost in the last. My question is did we have a plan for him? If it was moving the sub onto him then that does...

Having Billings and Windy playing VFL now when they could have been sub was a fair oversight too. Really strange sub choice today. And Sharman wasn't terrible, but they ran all over us.

The whole team was terrible but it was mostly lost in the midfield. They made our mids look so slow!

Honestly we could have easily lost the game by ten goals.

A lot of soul searching to be done over the bye. Especially the mids led by the captain who were completely destroyed.

It's the same team we had in the second half when Owens went down. I actually thought Paton was pretty good last week after coming on. The weird one is the sub. You'd have to think it's Membrey or Sharman, a very different sub option to what we've had lately. They obviously want Windy to build more ...

We've really had the wood on them the last few years. I can't remember the last time we lost to them, I'm guessing it would be 2019. Their supporters would be chomping at the bit to beat us as they are used to it. Personally I'll take a win no matter what the margin. On their day they are a very com...

Interesting that Membrey is an emergency. You have to assume he has been deemed not best 22 this week right?

It will be interesting to see if he cops a tag this week.

Such an awesome video from the club. Gave me goosebumps. https://www.saints.com.au/video/1338804/balert-ut-koolin-utter-mooyoop-strength-through-loyalty?videoId=1338804&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1684821637001 Also looks like Kutcha Edwards did a talk and performance at the club t...

Sad to see his brother now also struggling with concussion.

For the Swans, the pair of them have been a huge loss this year on the field.

At the start of the GWS game Owens was in the middle and looked dangerous. He's one of our more exciting options in there going forward. Also the second half it looked like Steele was getting his mojo back a bit. And then there's Sincs. Hawthorn's midfield is very average so shouldn't be an issue th...
