Oh when!.... Owen!.... the Saints go marching in... this count means we are going to be 32 short. In Canberra, of all places.

Re: The Wash Up from the Crows game

Does anyone else feel for Billy L. It seems to me he tries his darndest but just isn't capable at AFL level given the class of ruckmen generally and most mid fields. I can see why AR likes him, he recognises a genuine trier, but so was the horse I backed in the Hawkesbury Cup that came last. Will st...

Re: Kent

Had a fair run. Reasonable depth player but keeping, say, a Clark or even a Dunstan out seems poor judgment given his full body of work.

Re: A dose of reality

Just shows how important Marshall/a good ruck is; Geary and a few more bigger bodies esp. in attack. To win we need the rub of the green and all cylinders firing. No 2019 finals because we won't get over Geelong, GWS, Collingwood, Adelaide, Port Adelaide, Richmond, West Coast or one of Freo, Lions, ...

Re: Melbourne

Unsolicited gratuitous observations: Oliver and Brayshaw get a lot of the ball but are not particularly damaging, nor Viney.

Re: Interesting story by Wilson

Agree with WellardSaint. Not much evidence for most of it and its selective. Prior to the 2017 (?) first round win we had an exceptional record against Melbourne and in that game were well ahead early then AR was outcoached and we got run over. The spark was the old trick of running multiple players...

And Saint Kilda having been badly burnt in one or two or possibly three, four or more recent draft/recruitment episodes will have learned valuable lessons, reviewed the way it makes judgement calls and manages its salary cap. It will have noted that there seems to be more correlation between value f...

Re: Should the user known as The_Dud change his Alan Richo avatar if the Saints make the finals in 2019?

Not unless The_Dud (TM) wants to, and it should be acknowledged that the photo used is quite flattering, circa 1995 perhaps. But in asking the question it is admitted that he (who shall not be named) is a dud. The proposition is that he as senior coach is responsible for the win/loss statistics so i...

If N. Freeman plays another AFL game Tiger's position as greatest ever come back will be taken. Particularly as NF doesn't have a huge support team and nike sponsorship.

Re: Barrett, always the saints hater.

It was a very good decision (watch close up replay carefully). Usually in similar scenarios there is typically a ball up as the officiator is either not as skilful as the chap yesterday and/ or take the easy route, or it would go against us. But if a decision is surprisingly correct the surprise or ...
