IF we're serious about playing in finals the mantra is simple! ANYONE! ANYWHERE! ANYTIME!!! I am concerned with only the Sydney match this week and doing MY bit in the outer to achieve victory. I fear nobody and I respect everybody in the final eight we can beat any of them if the boys are good eno...

Got to unfortunately agree with Plugger and others here. No enjoyment of watching one of our rivals beat another one of our rivals. It proves next to nothing in the context of finals. I don't hate the Pies, I love the Saints. I feel the same about Collingwood as I do about Geelong and Adelaide. Seem...

I usually scoff at this marketing fluff, but that was stirring. From the captain. (probably from some it nerd, but nonetheless it was great) I understand the people who feign surrender to cushion the emotional impact if we were to drop out of the finals. Fair enough, you're a saints supporter. I'm ...

I don't think we're bringing Gardi in cos we HAVE to. This is a good move, forward thinking as Joffaboy suggests. As Anything'sPS said, the concern is their small speedy forward line. Zac or Blake should give way, Zac's disposal is better, but Blake is more mobile, so I dunno... Our midfield wins, w...

I think a lot of people have forgotten how good our best is. Better than Carlton, West Coast, Hawthorn, maybe even Geelong IMHO.desertsaint wrote:i don't care if carlton are at 50, 90, or 110%.
we play at 100% - we win.
But the team has to prove it, doesn't it?

This is the new St Kilda. I hope other teams can get used to a St Kilda that doesn't shoot itself in the foot, or sack their coach every 3 years, or bottom out, or make people laugh with their ameteurish approach. Because we are not that club anymore. And we can't ever go back. Sure one or two seaso...

No. After Lovett, and after our history with 'characters', this fella might kick a few goals but he represents the old St Kilda we've worked so hard to put in the past. As stated above, no clause can stop someone f****** up, and though it might be easy to sack him afterwards, he'll still be written ...

I think we're all sick of it mate! Not much we can do about the past but use it to prepare for the future. RL too conservative to win GF?

I was at that game too. My first year of going to games regularly. Not a bad way to start. Don't remember much about it except the huge adrenalin kick in the crowd knowing that we were going to the GF. I don't think anyone in that stand had any doubt that we'd be premiers that night. I certainly did...

Re: The Thread of Win (circa 2011)
This thread goes out to all those who aren't interested in giving up on the team in what remains of this 2011 season. In the last two years, we have: endured three tumultuous Grand Finals; have lost our two beloved leaders of the one and only Premiership in only the space of 6 months; have had to f...

Right on cue, Mr Irrelevant weighs in with his tuppence worth of what his old mate Ross Lyon should do. I'm sure you don't need me to link to that article to imagine what that totally unbiased advice was. Such a negative, pathetic, weak individual. I'm convinced he's the Akermanis of dad's generatio...

Thinking about this a bit more. If our contested possessions are lowest in the league and our uncontested possessions are 3rd highest, that confirms the oft-repeated idea that St Kilda are too indirect. It's great that we're able to find space, but that is because our players are in the areas that t...

Roo is the man for the job. There is no one else anyway. I think we need to come to the realisation that he's not 25 anymore and he has some chronic injuries.
