can't help but see similarities between the dockers of 2010 and the saints of 2004. good young team that has had a great opening 10 rounds. very exciting. but at some stage in 2004 we fell in a bit of a heap and got a bit tired. people were talking about us that year like they are talking about the ...

first and foremost: i think it is clear we have issues with form and skill we need to deal with to become a threat. however, i feel that over the last few weeks we have come up against our 'bogey' sides. although our win/loss record against carlton was impressive (incredibly impressive in fact)...we...

roo's importance isn't just in the goals he kicks, he is our number one bail out option on the wing and half forward. every time i have been to a saints game in the last 2 years I have muttered at several occasions 'when in doubt kick it to riewoldt'. i think that the players next in the chain run o...

Absolutely nothing went right tonight.

In the last quarter the amount of mistakes we made indicated that our confidence is shot to pieces.

I wonder what Ross does, does he give them a bake? Or try on build on some made up positive from tonight?

as has been mentioned elsewhere..i believe that the move made was basically 'steven in, armo out'... steven has kicked 2 goals so at least he has remotely kept us in the game...

ross would not have anticipated that dal was going to have a shocker of a first half at the selection table...

koschitzke? what is he doing?

this could get ugly...

bit worried about the influence of judd. need to shut down his influence..i reckon carlton lift if he is up and are down if he is down..

we are st. kilda supporters...isn't panicking at the first sign of either success/ failure part of the job description?

i am beginning to fear that the season is slipping away...last 3 weeks we have not played like we should..tonight could be our first pasting since 2008...

who the heck is playing on waite? he surely isn't as good as his first quarter stats are suggesting...

isnt it funny how footy works in cycles..

i reckon brisbane would have been asking the same question back in 2004 when we were on our golden run.

i cant help but think that people are getting a bit carried away with stanley's nab cup form. he is going to be a great player, but he hardly 'dominated' in the nab cup. further, key forward/ruck youngsters rarely make an impact in their first few full seasons. as tempting as it is to 'blood youngst...

wouldnt surprise me if nothing much changed in regard to the approach of other teams. most teams tend to set up with a loose man in defence playing the 'quarterback' role these days. hodge does it for hawthorn, adelaide normally have someone back, maxwell doesnt do anything else for collingwood and ...

as much as i thought that when i saw it after the game, on retrospect i think he was just devastated at a loss that they thought they should have won. as much as we would have loved luke to stay. he was smart enough to see the writing on the wall..all it took was one young midfielder to step up (arm...

im nervous as anything. we all love nick and seeing him injured just makes me sad. just saw ross lyons press conference on the afl website. he seems pretty positive. was asked the question: "did he tear it off the bone?". ross's response: "do you think i would be sitting here with a h...

was a great win for many reasons. and it was incredible. but a few recent games we have to stack it up against: 1. rd 14 v geelong last year? 2. harvey's 350th v west coast? 3. v adelaide qf a couple of years ago? 4. prelim v doggies last year? loved the win tonight. but the other ones were pretty s...

Am sitting in stands at anz. Players just walked off from warm up. Lenny was limping and not in warm up gear.

the fact that lovett's lawyers have decided to go through the grievance tribunal does not mean that they will not go to court. it is likely that they will go to court regardless. one of the things i hear over and over again at law school is 'explore every option', so make no mistake if lovett's lawy...

interesting to see last night in the fourth quarter (maybe also in the third, i forget...) that kosi was playing in the ruck. given mcevoy, king (and to a lesser extent stanley) were all playing it was an interesting move... leigh tudor was coaching last night, do you reckon this was his decision to...

well..look at it this way...by losing x. clarke, m. maguire and l. ball..we really needed to draft someone in to give the medical staff something to do. those three guys + m.gardiner have been the most medically intensive guys on our list over the last three years...maybe ross thinks that without a ...

very happy with this. i remember the first time we played essendon this year...he was a worry and from memory it was a bit of a breakout game for him. he was in my supercoach team this year so i watched him quite closely. and i am stoked he is now in the red black and white. more video evidence. che...

living in sydney, i have never been to a saints prelim before...i am flying down tonight, so hopefully i can reverse our losing trend

after that quarter and the last 2 weeks i think we can start kissing september goodbye...our 'frontal pressure' is completely gone...adelaide look more like us now...most of our errors are skill errors and we can not put down to a training load...we arent all that. and we wont be playing any grand f...

how good are dads! got nominated at birth and about a month ago got notification of full membership and eligibility to nominate for GF tickets this year. living in sydney now, without the membership woud have absolutely no chance of going to the GF this year, now there is a slim possibility... im gu...
