Re: Saints are in the finals!

I think we saw something special last night against GWS. This team is not a patch on the team that played under Grant Thomas but they don't have to be. They just have to be the best team over the next 4 weeks. What I witnessed when the team sung "O when the saints go marching in" was somet...

I think both of you guys are on the money with your thoughts. What disappoints me time and time again is 1. Players constantly going to ground or the lack of effort to stay on their feet so they can continue on withg the contest. I think this has become habitual with some players going to round as a...

My two cents worth

Lets face it, this team is mentally scarred. They lost belief after the 2nd GF and are now just not mentally & physically up for the challenge & effort required to match it with the the Collingwoods of thos world. They can't rise to the challenge cause they don't want to go through the pain ...

Yes teflon structures & execution are important but we all know that this game us played 90% above the shoulders.

Gilbert couldn't hit the side of a barn door when it counted but had no problem slotting a goal later in the game when it didn't.

GT is spot on with everything he states in this article.

He is passionate about St Kilda & very objective. The coaching panel need to heed his observations.

When things don't go to plan & the same patterns keep recurring over & over again common sense dictates there has to be change. Nick is a great captain, a superstar player and a great guy but when all is said and done he bears the scars of disappointment & defeat arising from the huge we...

This is all good

Collingwood's performance against Geelong tonight is all good for the porspects of the Saints next week. (Assuming we win tomorrow night.) I think they are playing their Grand Final tonight. They have peaked one week early and will be raging hot favourites for the Granny. The expectation from the ma...

Lenny missing out on AA will have an equal benefit. It will fire him up even more ( not that he needs it) to prove the selectors wrong.

Your Thoughts

When we were 33 points up early in the third quarter simple outclassing Geelong; with our boots poised above their throats, did you think we would go on with it and crush them? or did you always think in the back of your mind that we would let Geelong back into the game. I am always disappointed whe...

Right up I have to declare I was a big fan of GT. Mainly for his honesty & his genuine love of st Kilda rather than coaching abilty, which was only average. Having said that it was very disappointing to hear how he viewed Milney as a player & a person. Anyone can see that as a Player he is a...

Enrico I think you are on the money here. Saints footy is very physically demanding and the boys looked like they hit a brick wall tonight. The forwards running down the ground to bolster defense & then turning around when they gain possesssion only to see there is no one to kick to is physicall...
