Then after that drugs

Then after that the bye

Maybe in July the media will get around to calling for Watters head.
Why are they waiting so long to sack Neeld?

They are waiting to sack him in the lead up week to their match against us if history has anything to do with it!

It has already been said that it's because it will be the lead up to the SAINTS game. Another reason could be that it will have ticked over into the 2nd half of the season, meaning his payout would be considerably less !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Because we have over fifty percent of our list recruited recently , media knows the system , 10 years up , then the system pulls you back.Really happy we are playing kids .We will get further opportunity to improve list because that is the system.

All saints supporters just have to accept it. As for bagging Coaches , Club give it a break, we are finally becoming a professional operation with the academy development area for the long term.

The afl have lost control of the whole competition with various rules for different clubs, no 2 clubs have the same rules so it is not a level playing field. Eddie complains that Sydney have extra salary cap but his team, ie the pies gets blockbusters which means money so they get more recruiting staff etc.

It is be becoming a s*** competition compared to what it was 10 years Ago

Until today we have been competitive against the good teams but not good enough to win and put in really bad effort against teams we should be better than so we just cant bloody beat anyone. I hope the media start to put a bit of pressure on the club and Watters.

While Melbourne keep getting beaten by 100 points or thereabouts, they'll be under more scrutiny..the Neeld speculation will get even worse after todays result...When (if) Neeld goes then the scrutiny might head towards the Saints
