Re: Roos says Saints have Underachieved

… we beat carlton & essendon when everybody was beating them.... Carlton were 5 and 1 when we played them in Round 7.... Essendon were 10 and 3 and hadn't lost for a month.... I dont think either of them were travelling too badly when they played us. I don't think we underachieved...I started t...

Re: That was the end of the hope which sprung in 2003

I was crushed when Aaron Hamill was forced to retire. I was distressed when GT was sacked. I was devastated when Goosey Maguire and Xavier Clarke were told they were no longer required. I was stunned and dazed that we weren't giving more games to our youngsters when they clearly showed they had some...

Re: Our next "A" grader

As well as competing against the likes of Cats, Hawks, and Pies in 2013 you've got the other top 4 contenders - West Coast, Sydney, Adelaide, Carlton, and Essendon (if they get through their injury woes - bummers might have a chance to be top4 imo). With North, Freo, Richmond and us and maybe the Li...

Re: My 2 bobs worth.

We may have another wait. Will it be a wait like between 2005-2008 or a wait like from 1998-2004? or a wait like between 1973 and 1991? 17 seasons, zero finals, 7 wooden spoons, 374 games played for 101 wins - just over one every four games... or like richmond between 1982 and the present day. 30 s...

Yes, we have slipped back a little. At the moment, we seem to be just another of those middle-ranked teams that coulda-...

Re: Losing faith

In 2003 , I watched our young bunch of emerging superstars leave the field a the end of the season , and in my mind I believed , really believed that we were on the verge of finally getting the flag I had dreamed off my whole life. I am ever the optimist , believing in this team. But today , I had ...

Last night there was comical decision to pay 50 against Tom Simpkin when he pushed someone in the back while the Cats player was attempting to mark. Cats player hadn't marked the footy!!

Re: To those who cheered when Kosi was subbed off....

For a very long time he has not deserved his place in our best 22, I hope Scott moves him on at any cost and gives another the chance to develop. He seems very lost and without purpose on the field, he has little idea of where and how to lead and can't ruck. I applaud Scott's move to finally admit ...

As for Jack, he did an OK job tonight and won a few contested balls including the clearance out of the centre that went deep forward and resulted in Saints getting to within a point in the last
