2 gone already. Both rookies.

Baker Thomas and Coghlan.

Good news. Top operator old Ameet.

Its all well and good to see Lonie, Wright and Minchington let go.... ....but the Saints actually need to find a new small forward then that will make an impact. I don't think they need another small forward. Need to fix up the way they send the ball into the F50 first, work on that. We could have ...

He leaves a huge gap to fill- into which Brandon White should step in very nicely indeed. I hope Rice doesn't hit the Shane Warne diet in the off-season like last year We need his skill and composure, he is certainly part of the future. Anyone thinking Joey might hand over the #11 to Brandon? I kno...

Pretty much summed up where our midfield is at- "good players but they don't kill you..accumulators etc...". Also mentioned inconsistency. Nothing new about identifying our brand of football- obviously most people(including the players) can't figure out what style we are playing or how we...

Sometimes a blessing in disguise when a couple of older vets move in. Time for the young blokes to fill the void.

Very good analysis of Saints I reckon. Interesting to note a couple of unbiased outsiders c...

Read my other post mate. The guy hasn't missed a game in 4 seasons. 5th in our most disposals this year. Part of the leadership group. A solid and reliable player that puts in a 100% for his club. Any side requires these blokes. He will never be an A grade mid. He gives Richo plenty of options. Can ...

Install Con in every post at the club because he knows everything.

Newnes is a good player and not going anywhere.

To say otherwise is stupdity. You will never have a team full of A grade guns in every position. Newnes is a B grade yes but is definately required.

Apparantly Montagna is retiring after exit interviews tomorrow. Popped up in the news last 30 mins.

Bring back Graeme Jellie as an assistant.

Surely 5-6 list spots open up due retirements and delistings.

Has played every single game for the past 4 years!!

If you take a look at his stats this year he has racked up some big numbers in a few games.

5th in disposals this year at the Saints at an avg of 23. He's a good leader, well respected and has barely missed a game since he got his first one. I believe that says alot about a players mental toughness and professionalism. Also provides excellent depth. A player that has clearly got the most o...

If the Saints ever took on Rossy Boy again I won't be following them.

He will stuff over Freo further. Looks like he already has.

Is Menzel better than Wellar, Lonie, Wright and Minchington? (Our worst HF's/FP's after Billings and Gresh).

Answer is yes: Menzel kicked 38 goals in a side that finished 2nd. He's ahead of the above Saints players I initially listed (not JB and Gresh). Something to ponder.

If any one needs replacing its Aaron Hamill our forward line operation and delivery has been deplorable since he has been forwards coach. Don't fear...Richo is courting Con on here for the role. Apparantly its a battle as the Suns are looking for him to fill the head coach role. :lol: Good conversi...

Bloody hell. If anyone needs a daily dose of negativity about anything to do with St Kilda and the entire AFL then this is the place to visit.

I give the Saints a C and 6/10 this season.

Agree to disagree then. The ball won't magically float into the forward line on its own or move from one end of the ground to the other. Just glad our blokes are actually getting the footy to begin with and the efficiency is actually ok. Heaven forbid! As I said. Conversion and game plan does need t...

Think you both missed the point of the original post.

Highlighting the Saints get enough of the footy and the efficiency is quite good. Our conversion and game plan needs some clear tweaking.

Saints had the 4th most posessions and ended up 3rd in disposal efficiency in the league for the home/away season. Think this shows: * we DO get enough of the football * maybe our disposal efficiency is ok despite what we think * the bad goal kicking (2nd last in comp) really let these stats down a...
