How did we make two grand finals then Why the slip....purely because of one player??? Or did other teams get better and we did not?? If you haven't got the cattle..... Many here over rate our list and abilities and under rate RL's effort in getting us to 2 GF's. If our list had different players / ...

Montagna

Was disappointed with Joey's game tonight. Not sure if he is carrying an
injury but just didn't get into the game or have any real impact.

Has gone missing a bit in big finals and he would be disappointed after a good, not great, 2011.

What's more, the "continuous" raffling noise drives me mad - it's almost impossible to have a pleasant conversation with footy mates about the day. I have suggested including some "silent auctions" in the format to reduce the noise, but no action taken. Summary - no Saints colou...

Some interesting thoughts and opinions here. Aside from the Pies (and Cats) having a stand alone VFL team it would be interesting what and how their respective development programs entail, comparative to ours. We have obviously recruited Paul Hudson, out of a development role with the Pies and into ...

If you watched the brisbane game kosis foot was accidently trodden on near the boundary line in the goal square. that kind of bruising could take a couple of weeks to heal. Don't think it is 'that' injury that is the concern. As per an above post his on-going ankle issue is far greater than what th...

My point is that Ross Lyon will walk away from St Kilda and coach at another club if our club does not get it's s*** together off field In the last two months Robert Walls and Paul Roos (both friends of RL) have commented to this effect. We need RL to help rebuild but he may walk away. And for thos...

Re: Ross Lyon won't be at St Kilda after 2012..

In my view this outcome is now as certain as death and taxes. To give so much for the last 4 and half years and see the way we have disintegrated off field and on field must make him question if we really have the desire and will and commitment to succeed. I hope that we get our s*** together off f...

Good post. Lyon has done a tremendous job and his chosen game style was shaped around the abilities (many modest) of the list. Agree that the game has moved forward and many of our players don't have the necessary skills/ability to have an impact. Can't question the committment of guys like Baker, D...

When Tudor first started with the saints a few years back (2008?) he was astounded we didn't have a kicking coach....Geelong certainly did.

I like to think that the fire is still burning in Ross' belly. My concern/frustration it that in 2009 we got a jump on the rest of the competition with the forward press and the like that just about got us the flag. IMO he got a upper/middle range list to achieve great things. The forward press/pres...

Interesting that St Kilda is the only club not involved with the E-Diary.

Re: Not a fan of ROO as Captain!

A great player but a pretty boy and NOT the sort of player I think our club needs as there marque player. I would rather the natural leadership of Lenny HAYES. ROO is obviously the highest paid player at the club and there is a huge gap between his salary and the players he is trying to influence. ...
