Re: Team Saints V Melbourne
Maybe Crouch and Clark have dared to question some of the bosses decisions. We all know where that will get them.

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
Lots of talk lately re our woes is it coaching ? Lack of talent? (probably bit of both is the beige reality) that said I thought N Buckley said it nicely this week on Fox when asked what the results might be if Fly swapped with Lyon…his thoughts were….Lyon would go considerably better with Pies and...

Re: MCG Saints
I don't, I am old and soft and don't mind admitting it.
I can drive my car into the carpark under Marvel, go up to my seat, watch the game, and head straight back down to my car, and never have to face the elements.

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
Jack Stevens played 30 games before Ross showed his true colours and ran off to Freo for the cash. So if you claim he developed him he didn't develop Fyfe who already had 40 games before he arrived. Sean Darcy played 26 games only under Ross. You haven't really helped your own argument by showing ho...

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
It is not an either/or situation. We need to turn over the list because we lack talent certainly. However, players are going backwards under the new messiah's watch. I would challenge any member of the Ross cult to try to refute that. The way we play lack's any semblance of a coherent game plan for ...

Re: Game for Positivity
Marvel stadium has a roof, so it is not as cold as other grounds. You will be able to find good seats as the ground will be half empty. If you drive to the game you can park underneath and never have to go out into the cold (one of the things I like most about Marvel, though the name is stupid). The...

Yeah f*** Carlton. Split their list up. Are they still using brown paper bags? We won't split their list up it will split ours. They won't match 1.5m because the number is crazy. They will however expect us to give them our first and second round draft picks this year and next year. Carlton can say...

Re: Chasing Weitering
1.5m does not necessarily overly damage the salary cap but it does set a precedent. If I was 2 times All Australians Sinclair or Steele you would be asking where is my 1.5m. Every player on the list would expect more than they are getting now as the club shows they are willing to throw Money around....

Re: saints interested in players already
Money doesn't make us a destination club. If we want to land an LDU or McCluggage, we will need to offer 300 K more per annum than a Geelong or a Collingwood can. The only way to push us up the table is talent acquisition through the draft, and another comfortable mid table finish does not give us a...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks
It is not an either/or position. We lack high-end talent, and skills across the board are substandard. However, that does not mean that the coaching is not also to blame. We have a coach who is completely opposed to attacking, he does not try to win the game. Ross coach's to breakdown the opposition...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks
Standard Ross Lyon football. It takes until the last quarter to decide to try to win the game rather than to try to purely negate the opposition. Bassett needs to make a hard call. Give him till the end of the season to change his anti-football approach and if he won't or can't then fire him tomorro...

Re: Is it time to play Pou at HBF
Unfortunately, his second year blues started about round 6 in his first year. Sending him back to Sandy is the correct approach. He needs to justify his selection by performing at Sandringham. He started well last year and then was gifted games ahead of players that probably offered more to the side...

Re: Ins and Outs
Well, who are we going to allow to have free reign on the half back line to collect 40 possessions while nobody goes within 30 feet of him?
That will upset Ross's gameplan. It is obviously a key component to it as he allows it every week.

Re: St.Kilda 🆚 Bottom Teams
We play a game that is about stopping the opposition. We do not play an attacking game which means we will not bury anybody. We don't get dragged down to their level we just never go sufficiently offensive to blow a side off the park.

Re: Can we?

For us to have acquired the talents of a Jeremy Cameron we would have to ...
