Hugh Goddard is as slow as a wet week.... unless there's scope to put more spring in his step in the off season, he's no good to us.

Absolutely.....both he and Paddy who were our highest draft picks in the one year, will not make it.

I don’t know why the long term prospect of Pierce & Marshall isn’t talked about more. Both will only get better the more we play them.

I think they make a great combination and will only get better

Another wasted pick.....Goddard way too slow to make it at this level, might get away with it at Sandy.

Hannaberry and Menzel, is this the best we can do......really?????? We are in a bad way!

Not what we need....definite no from me

Interesting that with all the heat on our esteemed coach right now, someone who is as vocal and with the profile that Roo has, has not jumped to his defence as far as I know. My impression is that Roo was never his biggest fan, does anyone have anything to add here?

Richo will no doubt be prepared to embarass himself for as long as the Shite saints are prepared to employ him. Mediocrity is ours to own. Watch idiots like Summers embrace it. I've been hoping he would fall on his sword long before now but when you're earning that sort of dough, you're not going t...

He has to fall on his sword for the good of the club....the situation has become untenable and with him at the helm, it will be impossible to recruits free agents, sponsors, and I shudder to think what the membership numbers will be next year. It's not good enough to blame the poor old assistants an...

NNNOOOOOOOO!!!

Can he kick??

Definitely not the player we need......already 27, doesn't provide the outside run we so desperately need, and because he's so hard at it and has sustained so many injuries, his body's had it....he's cooked. I'm already on the verge of not renewing my membership next year, recruiting of DH would def...

Had 5 tackles, which would suggest otherwise, but I agree that he was poor.

SAINTS DRAFT LIST WHAT IT SHOULD SAY 1. Sam Walsh 2. Rankine 3. B.Smith 4. Lukosious 5. Rozzee WHAT IT WILL STUPIDLY SAY 1. Lunosious 2. Max King 3. Ben King 4. Hately 5. Walsh 6. Rankine fair dinkum we are the most f***ed club ever we will end up with probably pick 5 and get B.King leaving Smith o...

If Paddy had the game Battle has had tonight he would get absolutely ripped apart He probably still will even though he didn't play. Battle was awful - he has a lot of work to do. It was probably Josh's worst game but we're not comparing apples with apples - Paddy, a 4th year player, Josh just into...

Paddy has been a GREAT No.1 pick. Has generated so much discussion in media and on forums like SS, probably much more entertaining than him averaging 4 goals a game on the field. I see his contract expires in 2020, Saints should be looking to give him a 3 year extension asap, while he is injured an...

Paddy is slowly building his game and tank. He is still very young for a big fella and will get better - especially after 50-75 games. Stop comparing him to Riewoldt and other forwards too. Its pointless and unfair. The modern game doesn't help how Paddy plays either. I would hate to be a key forwa...

Two speculative chat points - Is Jimmy W becoming rather injury prone, an ongoing troublesome groin? and 2019 may be better if only because AR will then just have that and 2020 at the most before he is released with an undisputed record and a dim light at the end of his long coaching tunnel. Howeve...

Too old....won't be there when we seriously challenge so I won't lose any sleep over this.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-09/mccartin-in-moon-boot-will-miss-blues-clash How fragile is this guy.......he'd probably bruise if you breathed on him. No offence but we cannot afford to carry a key forward that is forever absent for a multitude of reasons. Marshall is a MORE than adequate rep...

The comments are justified. Unfair to attack posters who have been more than patient with some of our high draft picks. McCartin on the list now for 4 years, Billings for 5 years. They are both average plodders at best. How many kicks of Billings were smothered today? He hardly wins his own ball, s...

I think we take what we can for McCartin...........trade him out as he's just a liability down there, he ain't going to make it.

Longer gives us NOTHING, an absolute joke that Tom Hickey is not out there today. Missing Battle, just gives us another dimension down there and his aggression just makes some of the other guys walk taller. Still not convinced that Paddy is AFL standard......

Because he has no confidence in kicking

Rubbish, 95%+ of the league would kick around the corner there. It's the modern style

I hate Dwayne Russell, can you always count on his total bias against St.Kilda.

No, I think he's cooked.
