Come on Joffa, blind freedy knows Lyin didnt play the kids. Armo only got regular games cause Lenny was injured. McEvoy only cause Gardner was injured. As for Steven, he hardly got regular games. Do you need reminding about Walsh? yeah whatever :roll: Facts are. Armo and Steven and Mac were in the ...

I'll enjoy booing Lyon and the Dockers more than I enjoy booing other teams. I don't normally boo other coaches, but you've gotta boo Lyon. I mean seriously....he made watching my team excruciatingly frustrating and I couldn't stand the game plan, the player inclusions at times, the blame shifting a...

I'd be filthy if I heard a Saints board member or assistant coach or any of the players saying anything remotely similar to what I'm feeling about this Friday....but I'm not a Saints employee, so I'll say it; We're gunna smash'em!!!! We're in pretty good form and so are they but ...at this stage of ...

It'll take a fair effort from quality opposition for the Saints to lose a match right NOW. BJ, Roo, Kosi, Dal, Chips, Joey, and the Lendog are all in good form. We are gaining momentum and sometimes that counts for a fair bit. We obviously need some luck with no serious injuries and there's one othe...

Our development of new stars has been shite. Hopefully we've found one in Rhys. In the five years that Lyon had been at our club, I have not seen a debutant been given a go by Lyon and told we will blood you as a forward. In the five years Lyon was at our great club he did not bring in a debutant an...

I like what I see so far with our senior coach. He seems to me to be a bloke that judges his players hearts as much as their stats and kpi's. He knows his footy back to front and inside out and he'll make sure that the team improves on last years finish. I reckon you read too much into where a team ...

However I see little difference this year to past years. He is almost 24 with 55 games...so his time needs to be now. There is a difference ...some of the guys in the seniors list needed a reason to be enthusiastic...New Coach means opportunities for them...Gaery might get a chance to play in Septe...

I swear SainterK's signature is magic or SainterK is the reincarnated Nostradamus. found it a bit but his disposal especially by foot is poor and a concern....................holds him back a bit. That is expected and you'll even see Nicky Dal and BJ make errors - so what. As long as he contributes...

He's fun to watch the way he barrels in head first. Good game for 3 quarters tonight and looked the player who led the midfield against the Hawks in Tassie a few years ago. Both Armo and Steven looked good in that game and Steven looked really good up forward...they were both dropped however and it...

Honest Lenny tells it like it is. David King's question to Lenny after the final siren about the new recruits and younger blokes; "Do you think the young guys are having a bit of an impact?" Lenny's reply went something like; "I think they're having an impact on the senior guys to te...

And Armo stood up when the game had to be won

Plenty...but you're back on ignore for now..I've got a footy match to watch and barrack for

Luke Ball was relatively young in 2010...he would have helped...don't you think?

Yeah...in 30 yrs time it'll say Geelong won 2009. Magpies won 2010. Who gives a rats who came second???!!!!!!! Lyon failed. Sacking GT and taking on Lyon was no more succesful...You still don't get it...Schneids, Zac and Dempster are recycled...Lyon didn't blood 'em!! GT blooded younsters like Gwilt...

Questions need to be asked of Peaky and Polo and Ray but as usual, Laurel and Hardy, aka pav and p66 waltz in with their 2 bobs worth. Guys; you can reflect and bask in the glory of a great h&a season and a great GF1 in 2010, but we actually lost the best chance in 40 years to win a flag. Some o...

The negativity and favouratism for taggers from Lyon means that guys who attack the footy and can set up play and lead and run into space can finally come into their own. Geary's game on the week-end should be a turning point in his career and even though it was against GC Suns, I reckon he should g...

Scarlett toe-pokes to Gazza Jr ... and there you have it in a nutshell: the father-son rule wins the Cats the 2009 flag. We have been unlucky. Nevertheless, I think it's too eraly to write off the Saints in the short term (as so many here seeem unusually eager to do). The great unknown is the kids ...

The youngsters will no doubt need a rest or will have bumps and bruises that may force the coaching staff to rule them out.... at some stage...but I don't think Scott should drop them for next week. We don't need to give Polo or Ray or Peaky games for the sake of it...The younger blokes are going to...

The difference in the side Watters is inheriting as opposed to the side Lyon inherited is that in 2007 Roo was easily rated as one of the top 3 if not THE BEST player in the AFL!! Guys like Lenny and Kosi, BJ, Chips and Dal and Milne were all on an upward trajectory back in 2007. The players that ca...

Good OP Con. There have been few whose star has shone as bright as rooy's at our club, but the reality is that it is inevitable that each and every players time in the game is limited. Let's not be blinded by past glories when it comes to our teams stars. Roo deserves every opportunity to continue a...

I beg your pardon??? GT DID have all those players. PLUS he had hamill, gehrig, heath black, aussie jones, x clarke, Guerra, Voss, TS40, and Robert Harvey. Compare that to Eddy, Mcqualter, Raph, Jones, Ray, Armitage, Geary, Dempster and Polo. The truth is the exact opposite to what you've said - if...

GT was not given the choice to accept an end of season review and any changes to footy departments and structures. He was simply sacked and told that; "You cannot improve this group and you cannot coach us to win a GF" (FULLSTOP) . You are correct,in what you have written. However in what...

He tried his guts out, and you can't put your heart and soul into something for 5 years and achieve so much and not have a soft spot for that place for the rest of your life. IMO. After his career is over, he should be welcome back to StK.F.C for his solid contribution to it's history. Hear hear!! ...
