Hear me out on this one. He clearly aint a forwards arsehole at the moment, but do you think there is some potential playing him at full back or half back or something? His general kicking around is very good, he is the best contested marking player in the AFL and he can read the ball in the air bet...

As much as I think David King is a spanker head (not sure about McClure, don't listen to him much) there is def an element of truth to his comments in the wider football community. However, I don't think it is boring footy but goddamn it is frustrating!! This year it is perfectly understandable why...

Shame they have a very good playing list with a very good game plan. I don't think anyone's denying that. We Drew with them in a Grand Final. Drew. Scores tied. Dead level. I wonder, just wonder if had the fixturing been even remotely fair and even, could that have given us a 1 point advantage over...

Awesome news about Milney, he is playing the best footy of his career the last year or two so love to see him back again.

kings comments were nothing compared to the spray we copped from mcclure......he said no-one will want to come to the saints when free agency comes in because no-one would enjoy playing the s*** football we play.....and that even our own players don't like it...also no kid wants to be drafted by th...

I heard him say this too. What he was trying to say with the TV Rights thing being $8.50 instead of $1.25 Billion if there were 17 St Kilda's is that we play a boring, defensive brand of football and the majority of fans hate watching St Kilda games. If the fans hate watching that brand of football,...

Just taking a look at ladder. We are the second worst scoring team in the competition with 536 pts from our 7 games, with only the Gold Coast on 531 who are lower. The winless Lions are on 564 points. We also scored to consolation goals in the final minute of todays game when the game was done and d...

I might be wrong, but i understand Montagna got 1 week and the extra week came because he had 93 carry over points or something.

One thing i did notice was that Curnow took it like a man, but when our fearless captain Rooey got hit, he cried and was in tears. p**s off idiot to come on and say that is an insult to roo and the club if you actually knew anything he was in tears later when he knew that in his first game as capta...

Agree with the first two. I think Kosi showed glimpsed against Carlton of returning to form. He was using his body well and getting into the thick of things. He is still someway off his best form obviously, but I think he can get back to it. Confidence is a big thing and he played well last week. Si...

So if an opposition player has say a badly bruised back from a previous collision in the game, and is on the field, and you attempt a screamer over him and make contact with your knee to his bruises, then you get reported for an un-Australian, unmanly act? Two totally different scenarios. What a te...

I am in two minds about this. Firstly what Montagna did was utterly stupid, what good would going up to an injured guy and bumpinig his injured arm do? Silly play and he probably deserves a week on the sidelines. Then again, what is Curnow doing coming back out on the field if injured? Is he fair ga...

I don't think wearing a traditional jumper and winning matches are two mutually exclusive things to be honest. Granted, we only have 1 premiership wearing our traditional jersey, so that sort of makes the argument a bit redundant, but i think we can still beat Carlton tomorrow night whether we we ou...

Actually had a think about this myself. I doubt we can beat Carlton because they are a team who move the ball fast and have a guy like Chris Judd who dominates the clearances. We are kinda the opposite in the fact we are slow and move the ball slowly and have no one who can dominate the clearances n...

Get over it, we won...

We are back in a big way. Go saints!

We might be playing poorly but we are winning, so that has to be a positive. The fact we can play so poorly yet still lead.

Come on Saints! I reckon we'll run over this mob in the second half, they wont be able to handle the humidity as well as us.

Centrebet and Sportsbet are the two i like. There are plenty of Aus bookies now which are pretty decent. Check out a website like http://www.freebetinfo.com.au as they have some pretty good reviews of each, plus a list of the latest bookie incentives. Betting with Centrebet would make sense though g...

Yeah great selection Lyon. Drop one of our tall keymen who has been in great form for a guy who hasnt played in 3 months. Pathetic decision on th eve of the GF. Baker isnt even that good, dunno what the fascination with him is. Really pissed off about this. And of course you'd do better because you...

Pathetic decision on th eve of the GF. Baker isnt even that good, dunno what the fascination with him is.

Really pissed off about this.

Was just doing some research. The guys at http://www.phantombrownlowmedal.com.au have Dane Swan winning on 30 votes ahead of Ablett (25) and Hodge (22) Of the Saints they have Goddard (20), Hayes (15) and Montagna (14) of the other chances. Personally i reckon Hayes will poll a bit more than 15 vote...

Yeh nice post...

Ever thought maybe its you who doesnt know the rules...? Go back and watch a replay of todays game (without the st kilda glasses) and you will see pretty much all the free kicks were justified.

I agree, he has been struggling a little since the comeback. His kicking at goal has been deplorable.

But then again, we need to get him fit, so no point dropping him. Its a tough decision. May take him some time to get back to his best.

Very disappointing performance by Milney. He boots most of his goals in junk time or when we are 10 goals ahead anyway usually so its not a huge shock he goes missing when pressure is on.

Blame cant be laid squarely on him though, the delivery up forward simply wasnt there.
