Re: Selection

Lewis Pierce has to be worth a go. Just a couple of games. His form at Frankston has been solid. He and Marshall are our best hopes.

Look on the bright side, I hear its a good draft ! And our genius head of recruiting, the freshwater fish traded away our 2nd and 3rd round picks in it. Outstanding!

Re: Can anyone remember a more bleak outlook than now ?

Good post, skeptic. I, and I'm sure many other saints fans feel exactly the same way. The worst part is, some of us saw it coming from as far back as late last year. We were reassured everything was OK, when it clearly wasn't. Some drank the Kool Aid. Some still can't see the emperor has no clothes ...

Re: Saints v Demons - Round 7

O.K. This will cause a barrage of criticism but it’s the fact. Nothing wrong with the coaches, nothing wrong with the game plan, nothing wrong with team selection. What is fundamentally wrong is the skill level and confidence. It’s deplorable. Absolutely deplorable. And they all know it. How does S...

Re: Good Players now Duds

Many problems at present but I think once the current coaching staff goes the players will lift regardless of who it is. But I can't believe how bad we are at present and how we are going backwards. I don't blame the mids as we only have one outside mid at which is not enough and at present and he ...

It's a scene from a movie, "Little Voice". Michael Caine plays a sleazy entrepreneur who loses everything backing a night club singer. He comes on stage, drunk, embittered, angry and flat broke, grabs the microphone from the host, after punching him in the nose, gets the orchestra to strik...

Re: Lonie once won NAB rising star!

One of the starkest examples of what's wrong with the place. I fear several other promising youngsters will go that way, or at best fail to fulfill their true potential, if the current coaching regime remains in place.

Re: I dont want to hear "Saints Footy" Anymore

At least Gilbo kept his promise. We did play saints footy. As it currently stands. Poor kicking, haphazard style, basic errors and poor discipline. Saints footy was Ross Lyon's thing. It meant something. Now we're like those organisations with meaningless value statements on the walls. None of the e...

Re: Too many show ponies and not enough workhorses

Too many Indians and not enough Chiefs, or people capable of being Chiefs. Our lack of leadership, both on and off field is palpable. What a cavernous hole Rooey and Joey left. What we've got now is a captain who wouldn't get a game in any of the top eight teams and a coach who has clearly lost the ...

Re: Our coach is using the word unacceptable a lot now

Richo is pretty much your Elliott Goblett coach. Yep, bland and boring is Richo. First St Kilda coach who put me to sleep while listening to him. As an individual he is far from inspiring, let alone as a leader and coach. Elliott Goblett! Pure gold! :D He's certainly collecting the nicknames. The M...

Re: Ground Hog Day

Goal kicking inaccuracy is completely demoralising and bleeds into every aspect of your game. Imagine working hard to get the ball forward and into a certain goal scoring position only to see a miss like Membrey's. Totally deflating and even though we bounced back from it, the yips soon returned. Wh...

Re: Saints are 3rd for behinds, 18th for goals in AFL

That just about sums it up. You can't win by missing basic shots all the time. Where's Dixon? Still making the players visualise their best sexual experience when lining up? No wonder they keep missing!

Re: It will take 10 years to get our club back on track

The club needs regime change. Guys like Matt Finnis are AFL drones. The fact we took an asshole like Lethlean when nobody else would shows what pissant club we are. I hate to agree with you, Con, but I must concede it's true. Whatever you think of the Lethlean saga, a club such as ours, which has s...

Re: Petracca v Paddy put to rest

Put Paddy in any top team right now and he kicks 50-60 goals a season. Josh Kennedy would struggle to kick a score in our forward line at the moment. Plugger would struggle to kick a goal in that team. Paddy's development has been cruelled by his diabetes, concussions, a terrible forward structure,...
