I know it’s only a selected team, and there maybe changes on the way it lines up, but Five things most have been crying out for after getting rid of AR Newnes dropped - lining up on the wing Ross dropped - lining up in the midfield Gresham Forward - lining up in the midfield Acres in the guts - on ...

He probably does, as a Ruck coach He was a Ruckman after all Now he is given a position where he has to be in the 18 best forward coaches in the AFL having never done it! Why we needed a Ruck coach, when we have a 200 game premiership Ruckman on our coaching staff is ridiculous. The best teachers a...

Fair call but I reckon Harvey could potentially be a magnificent appointment. What makes you think that? Personally, I think we need a a coach who is a fire-breather or is a disagreeable type in personality. History says our teams have responded best to those types: Allan Jeans - fire-breather Ken ...

I found it quite amusing.

Watching them on Sunday it could not be clearer They drift. They drift up and down the ground but with rarely any urgency So many times we look to come out of defence and it should be these guys sprinting (yes running fast) to provide a target. But no they just drift Can people remember when Harvey...

Along with other Clubs we have put offers to significant players - with no success It is beyond debate that post the retirement of Riewoldt, Montagna, Fisher and Dempster we have lacked class experience We recruited Carlisle Further, in regards home grown class experience Armitage is now at the sta...

Just caught Footy Classified from last night. Barrett reporting that Hannebury in fact has 'hamstring awareness' which was why he was 'rested'. Also between him and Wilson, it was alluded to that as a result of the Hannebury call by Lethlean, which hasn't been a great one - his influence at the clu...

None of the above

I might go - never been to Geelong for a game. I keep telling my 10 year old daughter who comes to games with me that - I watched us win 4 wooden spoons in a row when I was her age. But when we turn around and win the place is amazing! I tell her that saints fans go to the footy no matter what - tha...

We need 10 midfielders in development and no mare half backs or utilities- we’ve known this for 5 years and have done nothing about it.

Yeah I haven’t felt like this since the 80s

I think they can’t sack him while we are a mathematical chance of making finals - to save the embarrassment of an unprecedented turnaround in our form. He’s a week or two away. Rats to take over. We’ll win 3 or 4 more then another overhaul of all coaching staff. I wonder how Billy Slater is feeling ...

Excellent post. I’d write something similar if I had the time. Richo seems to me to be a very reactionary coach . Focuses on responding rather than initiating. He is very opposition focused. In business you look for patterns in your numbers to reflect a problem. St Kildas scores in the past 2 years ...

JackSteele 9 tackles for the half. Great work.

Well fought back sainters - show some pride!

That is junior stuff

Protect yourself and the other player gets the ball and bounces off you with the ball and keeps running. You’re the junior.

ziebel you dirty c***

I just thought of some others: - Poor kicking skills are understandable. - What’s important is our response to what happened not what happened. - Poor Goal kicking improved by working even harder on the track - Not by improving mindset and focus. - Acres can play anywhere anytime. - doing internatio...

From afl site. 1. Dean Kent: 34.49km/h v Essendon, round two 2. Dean Kent: 34.38km/h v Gold Coast, round 13 3. Jimmy Webster: 34.08km/h v Gold Coast, round one Kent - what a speedster. Didn't think he was that quick. Billings, Sinclair and Battle run the most on average per game. Around 14 kms each...

It seems to me that Richo sees things that no one else in the football universe can see. On the flip side, he misses things that to everyone else is plain as day. Thought I’d start some examples- feel free to add. What Richo sees that no else can: Newnes is a star. Longer is a star We’ve got a very ...

This clubs faith in this coach has become so embarrassing. Repeating the same mistakes over and over. In fact I just thought of a new post.

Not a stopper but destroyed Rioli for the day.

A decent man. He was just waiting until finals were absolutely not possible is my opinion. He will do what is right for the club. He has set up a great legacy and developed a really good list that is within striking distance. We need to recruit some midfielders that can come straight into the best ...

Hate to say it but he has become a list clogger.

That’s about right

That’s kind of the theatre of mid week footy season.
We don’t know him and we hope he’s smart enough not to read SS. All’s fair in footy banter when our team is playing so badly.
