Needs to develop into a ruckman

There is no other position. Slow and unaware. If he could learn to palm the ball and get some stamina hell survive, otherwise he won't last[/code]

Bottom Line

If a player doesn't want to play for you, then move him on; irrespective of who he is. That's the correct policy. Ask Kenny Dalglish. Torres wanted out. Off you go, boy. They ended up with Suarez, a gun.

Multi Religious

Well, given that we have a Cross on our guernsey and some members of our board are Jewish, having a Muslim sponsor would be interesting. Do they serve kosher food on etihad?

Much prefer Gerard Healey

He's good. And I'd rather listen to Ross and John and have a chuckle than Andy Maher any day.

(And no, I don't like Gerard's on show partner)

Something was wrong with Ray

I don't know what it was, but he looked half the player this year, with half the confidence and seemed slower and his kicking was poor. We have too many poor kicks in our side. Jason Gram is another one. Neither can play defensively like Jones. Ray seemed to also lose his ability to take a mark. He ...

Grant Thomas

Isn't it long past the period of being concerned with what this person says? He had plenty of passion as a coach, but had close to no nouse when it came to tactics. He's a big picture person who got into player's heads, but that's not nearly enough. Lyon had it all. Just lacked the cattle at the end...

What did Nettlefold do?

Can someone explain what Nettlefold did that was wrong? Is it that Lyon left? I don't think anyone can blame him for that. The reality is that if there would not have been that mega offer from Fremantle OR his financial blunder, he'd still be at the Saints. With hindsight one can say that he should ...

Game Style not a reason

You only need to look at our quality kickers of the ball. They manage. Look at other clubs who can kick the ball well (e.g. Hawthorn, Geelong and Collingwood). It's not about practice alone. It is an innate ability. Some people (e.g. Clint Jones) will never be a good kick. Statistics used are often ...

It's all about kicking skill

It should be obvious to anyone that mentally, the Saints are as strong as any team going around. However, the game plan has had to evolve around existing deficiencies. We have players who simply cannot kick with any semblance of accuracy and if they do, it goes twenty miles in the air. Moving the ba...

Ross' double speak

Ross Lyon said he could hold his head up high because he never used the word loyalty. My question to Ross Lyon is, why didn't you use the word loyalty? It can only be because he either doesn't profess loyalty ever, or that he thinks that loyalty is less of a motivator and he has a better set of word...

Panel

Should include Paul Roos should Roos not be willing to be coach. I'd also make Roos director of football.
