there was an absolute need to do it. Set the tone for the whole night. Free was on the 50m and we missed it anyway. Flattening Cotchin after such a dog act would not have hurt us anywhere near as much as NOT doing it did. NEVER let Richmond manhandle us like that again Saints ....never ...its unacc...

I know there isnt much to be gained by pushing and shoving, but it really showed a lack of gumption that NO ONE other than Geary flew the flag for Cotchins thuggish dog act, and Gears then got Dusty and a couple of others instantly around him. Just said it all really. This was a semi final and a cha...

heartbreak only happens to full and proud hearts ....do us and yourselves proud tonight Saints .....thats all that matters .....if that means winning then all the better.....either way make damn sure the Tigers know they have been in a real contest ....

all the sweeter when we shock everyone and get up and win .....I will happily throw a mustard on us at those odds. Spend more than that on food at the game with the kids ! Come on Saints ....its right in front of you .....take it ....

upheld ...of course it was .....what bs .....

So with seemingly a good mix of size and speed in our key forward and back lines, I wonder if there is any chance at all that Josh Battle or Nick Coffield could be eventually be developed into mids ? Battle is 6 4 and 95kg - thats more or less Fyfe size ....not that I am suggesting our man is Fyfe l...

I dont actually want BB - I would much rather we chase Caldwell and 2m Peter ....If we could land those 2 and NOT lose Seb or Dunstan then I would be very happy ... but if we got BB for a 3rd rounder (who knows ? - his value to the Kangas appears to be plummeting) then I would probably entertain it ...

I know its only Barrett barking like the little yappy dog he is, but for a moment, entertain this possibility and try and work out how we look next year with BB in the side. ....for mine I don't want this to happen,,,,but if it did .... What happens to the development of Max King ? Does having a one...

i’m surprised how tetchy i’m getting ‘n its only Sunday i might be a little tightly wound myself in a week c’mon Sainters oh yeah ...I am tightly wound AF. In a way I wish we were the Thursday or Friday game to just bring it closer but it is what it is. come on Saints its been a goddamn awful year ...

Paddy Ryder is a key to this game. Not just in the ruck where he should dominate anyway, but around the ground and up forward. I have loved his growing levels of controlled aggression this year. He is bursting to do well in a final and obviously knows that he is in the last few years of his career (...

No, we don't have to do it. Now is not the time, your trade baits are contracted and valuable contributors to our team current and future. And I include Jimmy Webster in this comment. Fair enough Trev - agree to disagree. I think our time IS now but I agree that the Trade Baits I mentioned are valu...

OK so with 2 weeks to wait until we get to play again, I wonder what our recruiters are looking at for 2021 ? Screw the draft - we have a top 6 side now and good drafting gets us to top 4 IMO. My 2 cents worth GO HARD for: Jye Caldwell - 10 year midfielder - skills and smarts Charlie Constable - 10 ...

agreed, I have been glass half full with Kent and Hind this year but they were no where to be seen last night. We also dont have a forward that actually leads. Members can lead, Max can lead ....but they just dont .....baffling ...We also lack so much class in the midfield. Even with Gresh and Hanne...

yeah Munga when we are winning I am quite magnanimous to the umpires ....also watch the game with my 7 year old so I try and keep it under wraps .....yesterday brought out the angry old man in me and I got a bit carried away ....

first time all year I lost my cool and shouted f'ing and blinding at umpires yesterday. The amount of times a Lions player took the ball and just turned and backed into the tackle (looking at you Rayner - at least twice) rather than make an attempt was just infuriating. Whilst we were lucky to be in...

I am guessing it was this stuff ...


time for Gordon to do the same as Kennett and STFU methinks

that's starting to sound pretty good to be honest. If most of those play well, and I agree we need Gresh and Coff in the mix with the removal of Sinclair and Kent ....they shouldn't be getting a game most of the time, Sav too maybe .....I, like others, hope we don't lose Acres, and my 6-year-old cri...

absolutely - especially seeing reports are saying we will pay some of his wage ? WTF ?? We lose a significant player for a crappy pick and then pay some of his wage to play for Geelong ? that sounds like a terrible deal. Pick 24 and his new employer pays him. otherwise no deal and Jack can sit out f...

This guy is a gun - was killing it for Collingwood before being caught with "traces" of cocaine in his system. Is now finished his ban and been delisted by Pies. Can seriously play and will get him for nothing. No way he will transgress again after being caught the first time (well low cha...

2 years offered to ward off suitors .... what suitors ?

Devils Advocate here: And Replace with? A witches Hat? Traffic Cone? If you drop Newnes and Geary is not in - who the hell can I yell "Oh F@rk - "Insert Name Here" what the F@rk are you doing"?? Don’t despair SD / we have spuds in the wings who will rush to fill any incompetence...

Respectfully - No ...former high draft pick with a high price tag. injury prone as all hell. Battle, Marshall, Bruce and Membrey right now Max King, Jack Mayo in the wings. please please Saints - get us some midfield class. Whilst I love them as Saints, we will never be much chop with Seb, Newnes, D...

No way. Would rather keep Richo even after the last couple of years. (I know, I know .... ...that's how much I don't want Thug Scott at the Saints ) We don't want to lose Ratten to the Blues or Roos either. If Richo is gone we already have our succession plan ready to go. F*&# off North. Stop me...

How much would we all love Hannebury to start playing and start smashing it in the middle as we had all hoped? ( a lot ) How much would I enjoy reading the retractions and back peddling from the media, especially D Barrat ? (even more) How likely is all of this? ( I think a bit more likely than the ...
