Hindsight? We've been saying it for a year! Longer is shyte, no matter how many exclamation marks you use! You'r like the necrophile,who's into bestiality and flagellation. Flogging a dead horse.

Marshall and Coffield the positives. Negatives: Obviously skills and ball movement - no real improvement from last week Marshall is being developed incorrectly - he will always be undersized at AFL level, so develop him as a key forward who can pinch hit in the middle, not the other way around. Sma...

Longer is a poor man's poor man. LiaBilliety.

Oh, and hang in there Jimmygrant. As much as I hung it on him, I agree semper F. I got a red hot baptism to SS, with my initial post drawing a barrage of opprobrium. On reflection, I deserved it. Like Jg66, I swanned in here and criticised posters, incorrectly as it turned out. If he keep arms from...

I think the most important game after the 2010 GF2 was the 2011 EF. Dunno about in between but another "important" game was our Round 16 2017 game, at the end of which, one team had high expectations and the other had no expectations. So much for expectations. Good point, perfectionist. O...

Beat me to it!

Battle CAN play. He sure can, big red. Give him a couple of years and he'll take a place of one of our three other big forwards. I think he has the raw ability to be the best of our current group of forwards. Classy, clean and reads the play beautifully. Is an endurance beast as well. Play him I sa...

Kane is an out and proud Adelaide hater and would back Manangatang thirds against the crows. Having said that,mtheynare vulnerable and have a few out or out of form. Given the week from hell we've had, I'm heading in now with a tiny sliver of hope. It would be typical of the saints to roll a premier...

Don't forget the Laurel and Hardy of list management, Pelchen and the flathead. If anyone's to blame, it's them.

Pace is the most overrated aspect of AFL. Good for a few highlights and for Bruce to jizz his pants, that’s about it. Plus the difference between a ‘fast’ and ’slow’ midfielder really isn’t that much. Decision making and disposal skills are much more important, as the ball moves much quicker throug...

It's crunch time tonight. I can't think of a more important game since the 2010 GF replay. After our lacklustre form this year, both in the JLT and the real stuff, we'll see if this season ends up as a "development year", or one in which we fire a genuine shot. We should also know by the e...

Out of those four, I’d pick Hickey.

Love it. You've done it again, KFT!

Go Saints

Make us proud!

Indeed Sainter Dad. Me too. Come on boys make some noise, we are red hot savaloys, we are fans of the mighty saints!

I was warming to him until Buckenara said, "He's highly regarded!" What do you think, Con Gorozides?

Well as the father who'd just found it his sixteen year old daughter was pregnant said, "well isn't that lovely. Just f*cking lovely! This year is certainly proving to be challenging.

Interesting read and a very insightful assessment. While it indicates that the club has probably done a little better in trades than perhaps many (including myself) may have given them credit for, a lot of these “wins” are wins on the basis that we didn’t give up a lot in the first place. It’s a mo...

Nail, hammer , head, CQS. I copped quite a flogging in a brawl on the job back in the old days. Was Kicked in the face several times and suffered numerous fractures to the skull, nose and eye socket. I reckon I was never the same again. Short tempered and quick to startle, which was the opposite of ...

Forgot to add Hogan has 113 goals from 53 games and topped the club goalkicking in his first two seasons.

Comparisons to plugger are ridiculous. I think Hogan is a better subject. Both have huge expectations on them. Both play the same position and role. Both have had struggles with injury. Similar styles and age. Ask yourself honestly. If Melbourne offered Hogan for McCartin, would you do it? The main ...

Fortunately, none of those on the list are crucial to our success.

Am I correct in recalling that Elshaugh was at the club in the Rossy days and they got rid of him, but brought him back to help him out as he had some personal problems? Wife left him or got sick or something like that? Indeed, Darth Vader. He wasn't the only one to be burnt out by RL, but I believ...

Tom had a brilliant 2016. What affected him far more than the third man up myth, was injury. Some major ones and some niggles that effectively destroyed his 2017. Why doesn't anyone acknowledge this? He started last year in good fashion, then was injured. Upon his return, TMBK gave him no chance. We...

Of Paddy, Bruce and Membrey, who played the best game?

Paddy.

Agreed. That's what was so frightening and concerning about that performance.
