Here's is my go at our Rnd 1 team 2018 as the list stands prior to trades and draft picks assuming everyone fit and available and natural improvement of another pre season; B: Geary, Brown, Webster HB: White, Carlisle, Roberton C: Newness, Ross, Sinclair HF: Billings, Bruce, Acres F: Membrey, McCar...

good work Saints

Kicking straight is part of the game and should be included in any comparison. Our mids are either better or worse than Essendons kicking included.

Personally I would love Zac Merett added to our mids and then I could definately say our mids are better than Essendons.

What is the big deal about Mavs brother? Is it that he is Mavs brother or is he seriously a good player. Sure he is young and pretty but he has not shown much improvement this year. My thinking is that it is not worth playing Mav just to get his brother.

Had our chances. I think many posters said the same last year and if we dont start taking this seriously we will have the same next year at this time. Being like that for many years .......... crying because of lost opportunities. When is our Club going to wakeup and become PROFESSIONAL.

I will take some of that pie @stonecold. I was not sold on Billy early and was a Hickey man. Billy has had an opportunity, worked at his game and improved tremendously. He still has someway to go but deservingly he is our Number 1 ruckman now. I seem to remember he was in 2015 but was overtaken by H...

or Billy Dont be a Hero by Paper Lace

on his best days he is an A grader but he is inconsistent maybe get 2-3 A GRADE games a year with the rest B-C grade.

Maybe Richo could get the best out if him. He will probably end up at Hawthorn and play in their next three-peat

I have the biggest issues of them all the wife is a bombers supporter and she came on board awhile ago still has soft spot for us but the oldest daughter has gone across after being a sainter off to the footy Friday.all i can hope for is a win because I don't take well to stirring after a defeat, bu...

This is the problem of being a saints supporter.We have suffered pain over a long period and can't even enjoy the best win of our recent history,without worrying that we can win a game we all would of said was an easy win. I share your concerns and hope we can have the belief of a swans supporter an...

I hate games like last night I want to pick the saints every weekend in my tips. I had a bout of gilt just before the game but didn't change my tip. We have a long way to go before we can tip against top four sides. We do have good players but no household names that the kids at school would know. I...

I remember when I was doing Year 12 a fellow class member got selected to play for Melbourne firsts and they told the school he could not play for them from then on. The school said he plays for us or he leaves. He completed his Matriculation at a Private College in the city. That was CBC St Kilda; ...

nobody is criticising the guy in a negative way, to me it looks like people are telling it like it is. The posts are constructive. This is a football forum where people can share ideas, make comments and give opinions. Paddy needs time, games and needs to work on his fitness and skills. Todays footb...

Just kicking it to a massive pack 30m out and hoping someone can take a mark is just dumb football.

well this is a pleasant change to the comments supporters used to have a few years ago when the players/coaches were implored to kick it long.

apart from the on field effect there would be tremendous off field advantage with media, PR and membership. Would be a great coup on and off the field and well worth the money. Cant get that with two good players, cant get that with just draft picks, cant get that with some pseudo champion. Fyfe is...

Why would not the Dockers be able to match the offer? They already pay him maybe $750000 so they would only need to find another $750000 with Sandilands probable last season and the new EBA.

Whether they would match it is another matter but I believe they could.

Hopefully we can poach plugger back as a goal kicking coach g we need something!!!

How bad is it to see Harvey in the filth coaching box!

I feel like we are a bunch of good ordinary players. We'll make the finals over the course of the next few seasons but we'll never do much damage...certainly won't win the big one. Shame but that's how it looks. To win the big dance you need elite talent and I just don't see it in our team. Gresh c...

why compare ourselves with Hawthorn, we want them to come last

I read this board every so often I get the impression that the contributors want a premiership. Understandable but to get it you have to stop being sentimental and harden up. We all love our players but you have to be ruthless and stop being so lovely dovey and sensitive. If you want a premiership y...
