Ross was good first half. I got a shopper docket for $10 off at Dan Murphy's.

Ross good first half, then inexplicably appeared to man up on the goal umpire at the bulldogs end with no other player present, this was a highly creative coaching move!!


This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

Richo sat on the bench unable to influence change. I suppose that's what you expect from a head coach of the SAINTS. Well done Richo you had no impact on the outcome. You took the soft option

Ron Barassi could coach from the bench and tell the players little specifics, however, saying things are pleasing won't cut it!

Coincidentally, my super special inside source gave me a cheeky whisper of an email on the old wireless during the week. I got a good look at an early draft for next year's membership drive press release.

CONFIDENTIAL: NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

It's 2019, Sainters, so it's time to brush off those wings, shine up that halo and pray for some sort of divine intervention!

If you're out there, we need you to join us.

Coming off consecutive years of what might be loosely described as record membership, we're shooting for a more realistic goal: enough members to fill half of level one at Disney presents Marvel Stadium at Docklands!

We've got an underperforming young list that's a sneaky chance to surprise a few teams with the flu this season, led by a coaching group that, if we're honest, we just can't wait to sack. Come watch Richo try and convert exciting first round draft pick Bailey Smith into a small forward while playing 5 mediocre key forwards and 16 half back flankers!

With a confusing range of what I'm calling 'affordable' seat packages, since you can't legally prove otherwise, there has never been a better time to watch two-and-a-half quarters of Saints footy!

Our junior memberships are just cheap enough for you to force a new generation of Sainters to endure this rubbish! No, you can't support Richmond. We live way closer to Moorabbin and I don't understand sunk cost fallacy.

Our 2019 fixture is sure to include plenty of Sunday twilight and early afternoon fixtures to keep us off commercial television. In addition, we'll play in the annual Good Friday mockbuster and the increasingly ironic Pride Game amongst many other embarrassing thrashings.

So what are you waiting for, Sainters? Sign up for 2019 membership today and placeholder slogan!


Yeah nah pleasing positive

Clearly fake, not one mention of pleasing or positive.

Positives ? We didn't get beat by 100 points.

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Freeman was a big positive, got through unscathed, wasn't overwhelmed and had a few good touches. Enough to see that if his body holds up he will be a very good player for us. By the way, he is quick, we didn't see him hit the afterburners, but he's quick. Very nice hands too.

I always stay until the final siren, that was the best part of whole night.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?
