He tells the negative nutters how it is.

How is it?

Billings is on big coin.

Your analysis says nothing other than attempt to reinforce your anxieties.

LOL

We play Saints Footy. That is our brand. When we bring the high pressure effort and intensity we are elite and can match it with the top sides. Think Maddie's match and GWS games. We are inconsistent because we are a young side. Once the youngsters get some not games and consistency then bang. Top 4...

Dockers have still won three more than us.

Not sure if groupie is kidding.
Hope so.
GC would not want those three on their list if we offered them for free. Forget pick 2.

As for Savage. What the hell are Carlton going to do with him?

Look forward to our next 5 year plan marketing slogan.

'Saints 2020 Vision: Hoping other teams get worse.'

But we had a draw with GWS.
God help us if they win the flag because the Pollyanna brigade will use that game as 'proof' we are actually a top side and that actual ladder position 'means nothing'.

Tony is referring to the announcement of a new list manager.

The PR strategy of Richo is to use Elshaugh as the scapegoat in an effort buy himself a couple of extra seasons in the job.

If he blames recruiting, maybe people will continue to be fooled that he is not a complete numpty.

Dogs are very young and have a terrible injury list including Libba, Bont, Wood and Dalhaus.
We should have them covered. Just.

Caddy
Prestia
Nankervis
Townsend

Billings for pick 9 = no chance. More like pick 25.
Armo for Scrimshaw = no chance. Scrimshaw is only 19.
Acres is worth a pick 20. Needs continuity.

But agree with your overall sentiment. We need major change - not just tinkering and hoping for the best.

106 games
37 wins
0 finals

Sooner or later you get judged by w:l and the excuses dry up.

Having said that -
Hawks are on the slide. Swans on the slide. Suns are a basket case with no future imo. North is mediocre. Dogs are rebuilding and may be stuffed.
So we wont finish bottom.

What a pessimistic view. Feel sorry for you. We matched it with GWS, one of the fast and clever sides of the comp, and if we had kicked for goal reasonably, would have been 5 goals up at half time, and probably won. Even their coach confirmed they were lucky not to be well down. Fix our kicking, an...

Saints are in this

Champagne footy there Saints

Nice work from Coff and Marshall.

Nice stadium.
Nice and empty.

Its true.
Richo is trying to save his own skin by shifting the blame on to the players.
Tony74 just mimics the party line from Richo.

Richo is simply not up to it. A bland suburban level coach.

For everyone who thinks pace doesnt matter and it's all about accurate kicking...

You are are 5 years behind.

Accurate kicking should be a given.

Now you to be fast AND kick accurately.

Otherwise forget top 6.

Certainly he's miles behind someone like Caracella who's had years of coaching experience at a range of different clubs. Richardson also had plenty of experience at a number of different clubs Yeah. Nah. Carra was involved in premierships at Essendon, Brisbane, Geelong and Richmond. So yeah. Nah.

So called 'good blokes' are over rated.

Richo is a good bloke

Paddy is a good bloke.

Seriously who gives a s***?

Sometimes 'good blokes' are dead set fuck-wits.

I think a chill pill is needed.
Yes these days players move more often. No doubt.
But the media hype is mainly bs.
The rule still holds that most players still stay - e.g. Sloane, McGovern, Kelly, De Goey.

The coach has been in the job 5 seasons.

The excuse we are young and developing is dead set hilarious.

Does the coach have a ten year plan?????

This his his list. His team.

Full stop.

Stop making excuses for this bloke.
