40 points down.
It will take us 8 quarters to kick 7 goals at the rate we are going.
Lucky we have Richo for another 3 years.

Need a link player who can hit a target inside 50.
Somebody like Tom Lynch.
Oh that’s right Ross didn’t want him.

Collingwood and Nathan Buckley took all the attention but somehow we managed to sign Richardson for another 2 years for no good reason. Another stuff up by the board. Probably a million dollar payout at end of the year. Add it to the $10 million debt. Or do we stick with Richardson and plan another ...

Game plan going forward is very clear.
Kick it high to top of the square and hope.
Opposition all know it and get number there.
Ball then hits ground and goes to other end with little pressure from our slow forwards.
It’s not a lack of a game plan. It’s just a shite one.

Not sure there is any way to paint a positive story here.
Full strength playing wooden spoon contender.
Our game style is one dimensional and a complete failure. 3 big forwards doesn’t work. Didn’t work in JlT but we persist.
Going to be a long season this one.

Disgusting performance.
So many problems. Where do you start?
Seen many bad losses as a Saints supporter but this is up there with the worst.
Confirmation that the rebuild has failed.
Matter of time for Richo.

Mccartin off. Forward line working better.

Marshall has done more in first 5 minutes than Hickey did in first half.

A lot of worrying signs. Forward line is not working at all. 3 big forwards maybe unworkable. No forward pressure or ability to keep the ball locked in. Bounces straight out every time. Incredibly harsh on the forwards. The entries are poor. Might be harsh but 3 tackles between McCartin, Bruce and ...

Aaron Francis has requested a trade back to SA.
I reckon even David King might now concede we won the Carlisle trade.

Congrats to the Tigers. This win has made me dislike Ross Lyon even more than ever. In 2009 his bloody stupid bubble and defensive game plan and overall negative mindset cost us a flag. Two years in a row with far inferior sides in the Bulldogs and Tigers they have been positive and embraced their s...

Not meaning to sound smart but I think it's selfish for neutral supporters to attend grand finals when their own team is not playing as it takes away a seat from a true supporter. I'm an MCC member and if the Saints aren't in it then I'll offload the ticket to someone who is desperate for cost pric...

He is a star. Local kid who grew up supporting St Kilda.
Ross Lyon has a lot to answer for but media are scared of him so won't ask him tough questions.
Lucky he left when he did as Jack Steven also had one foot out the door before Ross took the money.

Brett Anderson has just tweeted that he believes Kelly has agreeed to 2 year extension and likely to be a Roo in 2020.

What a ridiculous argument. We could just not play a ruckman and go with an extra midfielder to get us "metres gained" Of course we would lose every clearance but hey that doesn't matter. There would be plenty of opportunity to get metres gained when every centre bounce goes to the opposit...

3 things I'd like to see
1 - get Carlisle off Sinclair. He is embarrassing himself.
2 - Jack Steele to kick the ball rather than handball to a team mate under pressure.
3 - Billings moved away from forward line. If you can't kick for goal why would you be in the forward line?

Insipid performance and clearly shows Longer has gone well past him. Lack of effort a real concern and will certainly be dropped. Trade value has really dropped unfortunately.

Thought he was good.
Adds muscle at clearances and clears packs for other midfielders.
Love his hardness.

Carlisle and Gresham for pick 6 is proving to be a great trade.
Wonder when David King admits he got it wrong again. Up there with his call that we wouldn't win a game.

Hickey has done nothing to deserve a recall and isn't physical enough to compete with Sandilands.
Acres needs to be dropped with Steele his likely replacement.

In Bruce, Webster
Out Sinclair, Savage

I thought Longer was pretty good on Sunday and when he went off due to his hip we struggled. Bruce only capable of going in for a really short burst It's the risk in only playing 1 ruck. Look what happened with Melbourne on Monday night. Would hate to see what happens if we lost Longer at start of a...

Makes sense as he received another one in the JLT.
Krakouer from Port Adelaide was suspended for the head high bump.
