I was having a look at the draw to this stage of the season including this weekends game. We will have been interstate six times plus a trip to Geelong. Collingwood and Carlton three trips interstate and no Geelong trip. I know our draw is better in the last part of the season but the concentration...

..... so putting the coach down for winning ugly is very trite IMHO. Can we get something straight. He did not win – ugly or otherwise. The umpire won them the game. As per the AFL, the free kick wasn’t there. So, theoretically, they lost – again. But they are happy paying the same free to Dixon, C...

I’m confident RTB is the right man I’d be only too happy if I was wrong. In fact, I’d be ecstatic! I'm confident that you are wrong :wink: I’m confident GSG is deluded No clubs wanted Lyon?? I think there were a few that did … Maybe .... but has anybody taken him? Oh yes, there was one - St Kilda.

Is it really that bad. I couldn't care less how much we don't score as long as the opposition score less. It got Ross Lyon coached football sides into 3 x GF's. If we can become more efficient inside F50 then the tide can turn quickly. Yes, but he also lost them all, and one more at Freo and then g...

Sadly, in the decades I've been following the Saints, it has never been a rebuild, just topping up the list trying to get quick success. I remember when Lyon left, the club presumed the next coach could take that team to the finals, but Watters saw deficiencies with the list after the 2010 final an...

It’s a sad day for the club and the football world. Not long after Barassi’s passing. RIP Cowboy :( https://www.instagram.com/p/CxRkAmnvgRB/?igshid=MWZjMTM2ODFkZg== Kevin “Cowboy” Neal and Ron Barassi dying at the same time and same age. I hope they kick the footy around upstairs and reminisce abou...

I do agree B.M with the above. The crux of it is though, it’s that we have a semi-quality side and look how much Ross Lyon pushed our side this year with all the injuries. We are in a way better spot compared to Ratts last year. It’s not about this year though, it’s about taking our quality kids (I...

Long term Saints supporters have had plenty of perspective, lots of excuses and too long in the waiting room waiting for the next miracle to happen. IMO Lyon had had his day and should never have been appointed, and I see it just as PR exercise by Basset. I totally agree. Couldn't have said it bett...

Who on earth writes such crap. The flow-on effect on finishing bottom four would be enormous. Als already mentioned, we would own the 4.50 Sunday time slot, minimum Friday or Saturday games, loss of sponsorships, loss of memberships and how could we entice any good players to the club. Who in their ...

Yes - well done Nick. Moving to Texas with strict anti-abortion laws as of 2022 and the Uvalde shooting where 18 Students were killed and many more injured! Great experience for your kids. Congratulations.

It wasn’t just Ball he dumped Don't like the truth do you teffers? :roll: :roll: :roll: Your man was the ultimate failure as a coach. 4 Grannies for no wins FFS. :roll: The facts speak for themselves. With the list we got in those days, the drover's dog could have got us to a GF, and probably would...

Not for long!

TEFLON, this is a bit harsh. Ladder position up to about round 6 or 7 is always precarious. But I agree, the next two games (GWS and Port) are absolute must wins, as a loss to Melbourne is pretty much guaranteed. Travelling to Manuka Oval and then to Cairns where the temperature is still around the ...

This club has no future. The only future is Tasmania, or a merger, none of which will happen. I’m off to support GWS. Goodbye Saints and thanks for the memories, even if they weren’t so good... Tassie – you wish. Now Essendon is gunning for Tasmania as well. Who do you think will get priority?

FFS this s*** has gone on long enough we can't keep sacking coaches.

Ratten is good enough, we need to recruit better and build a better team for him to work with

Amen to that!

we always have a hard draw, regardless. they fit in the marquee games, then shuffle us around them. we are an afterthought. Agree – you’re hitting the nail right on the head. Every year, more marquee games are introduced, none of them involving St Kilda. This, as you said, means St Kilda has to be ...

Yep – I have to admit I’m over it as well. My partner is a Hawthorn supporter, but for the past 26 years he bought a St Kilda membership because the Saints needed it more than the Hawks. I can no longer justify this and I will urge my partner to buy a Hawthorn membership next year. This is simply no...

Fit: quite Fast: losing first choice players rapido. And first game in a bog. There goes fitness for R2. Now lets talk mental strength and teamwork... Remember playing North after they played in a monsoon the week before in Cairns. We even played them on the Good Friday, so they had a short break. ...
