Re: Saints "too nice". Time to bring back the mongrel!
Hard to disagree, Zed. I think it's fairly obvious that our foot skills, especially entering forward 50 and in front of the sticks leaves a lot to be desired. I agree with you on Webster. The low, stinging, left foot darts look great when they come off, but he misses too many targets heading out of ...

Re: Finals discussion thread
Looking forward to watching the Never Tear Us Aparts tear each other apart. How appropriate that a club led by Koche embraces a song from a guy who died masturbating :D :D Please explain. I am usually upon these things but this one just evades me. Michael Hutchence died due to auto erotic asphyxiat...

Re: Whitfield set to remain a Giant
I'm not sure that's so bad for us. I get the feeling he's one of those players who's good in a side where he is surrounded by lots of talent. He's not a patch on Kelly.

Re: Saints "too nice". Time to bring back the mongrel!
Richmond's season must give us hope. They were insipid for the last part of last season. Look at them now. Indeed. They were a basket case at the end of last year. A board challenge, doubts about the coach, a supposedly ordinary list. Look at them now. It just shows it can be done. This time last y...

Re: Saints "too nice". Time to bring back the mongrel!
Agreed, SP. I think there is too much praise and too much blame for senior coaches. Competent assistants make all the difference. A good barometer is how many get poached by other clubs. Does anyone know if we've had anyone poached from us in th

Re: Finals discussion thread
Agreed, HF. They've always been dodgy, and their supporters are the most arrogant in the league. A shitstain of a club. Sheedy and Hird showed their true character by lying to us about Lovett. They have always held the saints in contempt. I believe that all stems from the physical and football thras...

Re: Farewell Lonie
The club obviously believes he's still worth a place on the list, but he's certainly on his last chance, or "probation", if he takes the one year deal. The kid has ability, but like many others on the list, he fell away badly in the last third of the year. He needs to get stronger and impr...

Re: Josh Kelly; a "Messiah"?
Agreed, Jiggster. We have a long history of relying on "messiahs". We do need him and he would be a crucial acquisition, but what we need more is rapid improvement and development of the talent we have. We have talent on the list in White, McCartin, Goddard, Pierce, Freeman and McKenzie, w...

Saints "too nice". Time to bring back the mongrel!
I was just listening to slobbo and the boys on SEN. The general consensus in summing up the saints play this season was that we'd lost our "mongrel" and that the club as a whole was not ruthless enough. It was run by nice guys. Richo, nice guy. Matt Finnis, nice guy. Peter Summers, nice gu...

Re: Bruce Accuracy
Terry Smith - you are 100% correct. I think Josh Bruce is a great player who gives his all. For those of you old enough to have seen Stewart Loewe's kicking in his early days, my god it was dreadful. Standing in the outer at Moorabbin we would all turn our backs to the play when Stewie was lining u...

Got any little teasers Jaxons? Just a scrap of news would tide me over. Latest news is that Richo ordered a pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and had anchovies added. A lot of stomachs turned. That's outrageously different for AR. Is he ok? He'd never go for something so different normally. Maybe h...

G.Lyon. His dad won first division tattslotto twice. His son has never done a day's real work in his life. Good footballer, but that's about all.

Re: Bains misses out on AFL gig
In fairness, Con, the Hawks had a massive crack at Dylan. I doubt he was going anywhere, but you never know. Losing him at this stage would've been embarrassing and damaging. If others. Come hunting, you have to offer a little more. True, he could've done mor, earlier, but methinks Dylan had become ...

Re: Bains misses out on AFL gig
A great effort from Ameet. It wasn't only Hawthorn that was sniffing around Dylan, although they made a solid offer that would've made him think. I note Dylan said the delay was partly due to him exploring all options and getting the best possible advice. Good on him. This was his best chance for a ...

If he is staying at GWS, wouldn't you think he'd do the right thing by the club and his teammates by announcing it, if not actually signing a new contract? Especially as it would give his team an enormous lift before the finals. I think the longer he doesn't announce his intention to stay, the more ...

I'm for it as well. Gives us what we need and is an upgrade on what we've got at the moment. We can get him without needing to trade. He would improve our list and side.
