PPS I think we are a red hot chance to beat the Dees this weekend. We need to get behind the players and the coaches!!

Re: Interesting article

PS The backhanded comment that the poor performance is effecting revenue is indicative of a chasm between the troops ( players and coaching staff) and the exec management and the Board. It ignores the fact that the poor financial performance and supposed inability to let go of the pokies impacts hea...

Re: Interesting article

After 1 flag in 145 years we need someone from outside to shake the tree from top to bottom. Agree. This is a joke! You have lost me Matt!! If Simon L has undertaken a review, release the paper so the members have some insight. For the CEO to simply come out with a statement saying "this is un...

Re: Where are the Saint's Money Men???

In my humble opinion I don't think the club is about to fold nor do I think the debts are having any impact on our field performances. As the CEO said frustratingly.....we have moved to new facilities and have an abundance of resources so there are no excuses. My reading of this comment is that he u...

Re: Consider the Saints as a Business Model

Cheers SS. I agree the AFL and clubs play the political card "bigly". The most irritating examples being played out in Tasmania particularly by the HFC. Successive Tas governments paying hand over fist to pander to shortsighted supporters... Thankfully Tasmanians are becoming more cynical

Re: Too many show ponies and not enough workhorses

I think there are a multitude of factors causing problems for the Saints. Player( and coaching) confidence is one aspect. Undoubtedly, the focus needs to sharpen. Billings is so distracted by his inability to nail a goal he has lost all confidence and it is affecting the rest of his game. He has sub...

Too many show ponies and not enough workhorses

I don't profess to have any insight into the way players spend their time training in the past or at present. However, from listening to comments over the years I get the impression getting players fit was met with resistance to running laps and spending time the gym. Conversely, I have a suspicion ...

Great performance by Jake last night. Great back man. (leave him there please !!) Solid hands and hits.

Ben showed some absolute class and skill. I love watching him get near the footy.

Despite missing 4 points we showed effort and heart. Billings confidence has been shot but I think that last goal from him might have been just the medicine he needs. McCartin clearly demonstrated he will be a force....and Long is all class. Weller added some well needed grunt. Roberton andd Webster...

Hard at the ball like Lenny. Silky skills like Dal. Sneeky smarts like Milney !

Prediction now ! He will win a B and F , Brownlow and AA in the next few years.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 4 2018

Coaching staff looking for a rock to hide under? Battle is going to be good. Billings and Gresham way down on confidence. They will come good in time as will Paddy.

Re: If we win on Sunday

If we win I there will be an inquiry into match fixing.

With no effective forward line this game and the foreseeable future is about small wins ie, Will some of the younger players develop; will Jake show some leadership in defence; will Sebby combine with Steven (Rossven) )to smoke Dangerwood etc.

What action should take priority for the club: 1. Stay clam and continue to recruit from the draft in an orderly manner; ....accept we will finish low on the ladder but in time secure high draft picks with the hope that a quality team will evolve...eg Melbourne, Dogs 2. Concentrate on player develop...

Re: Time to hit the RESET button
