If any Saints player came off the ground like that I would want them out for a time (which could be an everlasting time)

Re: Schneider's season

If Roo doesn't come back for a while and now that Fisher is injured again, we need all the on-field experienced leadership we can get. Schneider is important now. I am a bit worried about how we are going to go when we actually play a good team. The last 6 rounds are the elephant in the room. If we...

I have seen zero of Goddard but why the excitement...
I heard a review on radio this arvo and they said he is a backman and showed very little when played forward.
So not sure why the love and mentioning him as a Stanley replacement.

Re: Saints games in 2015

Going to be a long year....will be good to watch the youngsters develop and get games. Did Pelchen's overall drafting plan for the club include a compo pick (after our first rounder - next year) ?? If they are still on the table I reckon we will be monties to get one...after the 2014 & 15 years....

Ok so 8 pages in. Apart from the complex spreadsheet (and the bonus points for left footers) can anyone tell me what this bloke actually did and/or how he got into footy admin in the first place? To me it seemed like he was the list manager with the "head of football" title. Looks like th...

Re: Saints- Pass or Fail for Trade Period?

Agree....it's the sum of all parts and I don't know what peeps expect. I am happy to have Pick 1 (Petracca it better be), Membry and 21 & 22. We need to try something different with a forward line minus Stanley....imagine another year of 'more of the same'.... Roo 1 year closer to retiring and n...

Re: Saints- Pass or Fail for Trade Period?

I reckon you have been pretty harsh here.....how would anyone know apart from the inner sanctum what our 'aggression' level was when dealing with GWS to get picks 4,6,7 for pick 1. The fact it didn't happen means we stood our ground. I'm glad we didn't go Boyd.....7 yrs & $7mill.....you are kidd...

Re: So McCartin the new number 1

Surely it's Petracca.....otherwise they would have swapped picks with GWS. Pick 1 for pick 4,6 (or 7)
Get an extra pick and also select the best tall at 4.
Not trading pick 1 to me means they want Petracca......I hope so anyway.

Re: What's happened to Joey Montagna

To me it looks like he doesn't want to be out there and certainly his game is feeling the loss of a few better players that were once around him. I have always felt he has been regarded higher than he should have been....just my opinion that he skated on the coat-tails of the A graders we once had.....

Long sleeves, No 36, lots of blonde hair....always seemed to play well in the 2's
at Moorabbin, prior to the big game.
Maybe I just remember him because of the hair...

Re: montagna to ablett now!!!

Down Hill skier is Montagna.....think he will be trade bait to a top 6 team looking to top up.
Happy for that to happen....he may be a decent fella but I think he has too high of an opinion of himself as a player and we
need more from a player of his experience and pay cheque !
