Re: What’s the damage?

Lazy, inept!! Poorly coached. Richardson waltzes out at three quarter time, pigeonholes Paton and not the so-called leadership group.

Re: Commentary tonight

No cop outs!!!! We are just rubbish!! The commentary has nothing to do with it!! The team’s performance could shut the commentators up, but it’s been woeful and the dozey smiling coach rubs salt into the wound!!!!

Re: Our Downfall Part 2 - The Champion Drought

Add me to the list, Jack.! When marking on the lead, or camped under the ball, he hears footsteps. Plus his attitude in spitting the chewy has a negative effect on the team. He finger points when he should be leading by example, hitting packs hard and chasing and tackling aggressively. He’s also laz...

Re: McCartin

Granted that Paddy is not playing to the standard we expected, and the same goes for Billings, you can probably include Acres and Dunstan as well. Fact is that St Kilda don't have the talent in the coaching ranks to develop young players, especially early draft picks, to reach their potential as qu...

Waste Of Space

When Ryder kicked the first goal and Longer stood there transfixed, waving his arms to no where in particular and not even near the arc of the goals. He failed to put any pressure on and looked totally clueless. The writing was on the wall!!

Pressure, pace and passion!!

Like Richmond can the Saints turn it this weekend? Was the last term against the Suns an aberration. Will they rest on their laurels and produce the plodding efforts displayed so far this season?
The Demons game will set the next half of the season precedent.

If you're gonna post a carnival of horrors do it right - You forgot 1971 Parkey - some of us on here were born in the 1960s. 1971 was probably the worst loss of all of the post 66 GFs - 28 points up at the 27 minute of the third quarter!

Re: Keeping the ball in our forward 50

I don't usually start threads - but, I had to express my thoughts ... When the ball hits the ground in our F50 from a spillage - we are hardly ever there to pick it up or to apply pressure on the opposition players who are quick to pounce. It's potentially a 2 goal turn around every time the ball c...

With just as many youngsters as the Saints they played with passion, intensity, backed each other up, hit the ball hard and tackled with a vengeance. No Fyfe!!! They took the game on. No more pathetic excuses Saints!!

Re: Team v Swans. Billings dropped

White out after a really good game and career high 20 touches. Sack Richo. I agree. Marshall had 20 or so possessions as well. Lonie gifted the Eagles a couple of goals. Weller did sweet F.A. and Brown couldn't run out of sight in a month of Sundays and gets about a half a dozen possessions a game.

Re: Moral Victory - Proud of the boys tonight - Respect!

Sadly for the night we dominated statistics but still lost the game due to turnovers especially in the first three quarters. Need to see more of the mobility McCartin showed tonight and leading into space. The endeavour was fantastic for a change. Young enthusiastic players is the way to go!!

We have a bad habit of hanging on to opposition players when flying for marks or trying to spoil. A little tug of the jumper here a grab of the arm there.
