We have a new generation of players coming through who can't kick properly. It seems we have learnt nothing from the years of clinton jones fumbles, andrew mcqualter sprays, and sam gilbert miskicking..oh wait.. he is still playing for us. We did get one (ONE) new player who can kick, billings, but ...

Gutted by the umpiring

You better get used to enjoying the MCG, that goes for the players too. That's where premierships are won and lost. Nothing history making happens at the cushy comfort of the DOME. God forbid you people ever had to endure Morabbin, standing up, the swearing, the beer, the urinating ... Kids these da...

Billings is the only new player with the skill level of your average Hawthorn player.

Hawthorn have about 16 players with Billings skill level running around, hence why they win grand finals and we win spoons.
Denial of that will keep us winning spoons for 5-10 more years.

All the recruiters had McCartin at 1 or 2 so it's obvious he has some ability. So where is it? He moves OK, but seems slow. He must have dominated the U18s so what are his strengths It is easy to dominate the under 18s when you are that big. You have to have the hunger and ferocity for the ball at ...

The dogs are so far ahead of us I am sad.

That is great footage!

Riewoldt is a true champion.

All the best Fay Rarren.

Maybe my memory is bad, Robert Harvey was quite a frustrating player in his first few years. He would hold on to the ball too long and get caught too often. Like some players, he went into a chrysalis one preseason and emerged a champion. Couldnt be tackled, couldnt be stopped. Not too young to get ...

I watched it on tv and could not notice any boos for goodes.

With that said, If anyone booed goodes for staging or receiving dodgy free kicks I wouldnt mind.

Should not be tolerated next year. The saints were an embarassment today all over. Yes I am tolerating it this year, no goals in a half of football? At our home ground? That is s***. Not going to pick on anyone, the unit ...the team as a whole was total rubbish. Now, this list is capable of performi...

That fwit David King has opened his mouth..dear god.

Sam 'it aint 2009 anymore' Gilbert has taken over from where Raph 'that tackle in 09 granny...oh the misery' Clarke left off. Main criteria for acheiving this 1. Get tackled in front of goal when attempting to break through faster , fitter, better younger players 2. Kick to opposition players to giv...

I thought the same thing.

That was an extremely entertaining game, despite losing.
The future is something to look forward to.

Delisted: gilbert

In billings

RIewoldt single handedly denied the dogs 2 grand final, appearances. Such is the might of Nick Riewoldt. Of course they will boo him.

Heartbeat, in a.

How is it that gilbert still has an AFL career?
It is harsh but he looks totally out of his league.

Totally off the pace. Clangers and shocking turnovers....they were painful to watching in an otherwise fantastic game.

Look, saints have a crack which is all you can ask for. Great to see the saints.

share the love

101 saints

6:30 to go

Reckon that's fat lady, Joshua the Bruce goals.

The phoenix rises.

f****** HE:L:L YUES SAIONTES!!!

Not bad indeed.

Overall, extremely proud a bunch of kids pushed a drug hardened team to the edge.

Imagine what this core will do in 2 years when they gain more experience? Hell even next year could be amazing.
