Cant confirm it 100% but I believe a poster did say that we had all of these players early in the season and still didnt win. Roberton and Bruce played at least 3 games, the rest played more or couldnt get a game.

Keep it in until people vote with their feet. These things usually run a course and then it fizzles out and onto the next cause.

Roo was frustrated with the passes over his head and at his ankles 3/4 times a game, that is why he should have kicked at least 100 more goals in his career and maybe got a flag. I wont support AFL players who cant kick 30-40 metres with reasonable accuracy, one of the current mobs biggest issues an...

Lonie and Geary out and Coffield in and anyone who played very well in the magoos last week but not Armitage.

I can answer that very easily, and you should have already been able to answer your own question.There are rebuilds and topping up.... A rebuild is when you are totally without any semblance of a winning team such as the saints , gold coast and Carlton and you start from the bottom up. So WCE who ar...

desert saint, your quoting last year as very good. THis is 2018 ...Dunstan cant kick and he is too slow, forget about getting votes from his own club that's like dancing with your sister. He is ranked 150th player in the league based on performance which in my view is generous and ahead of only Gear...

Lot of good space wasted on an average ruckman Hickey and a lot more wasted on Lewis Pierce in another thread. Surely you can waste your time on better players who have actually done something.

Only seen Hartung play once or twice, he is cutting a nice position at North Melbourne. Why didnt the saints take him last year, he is pretty quick? The other one is Miles from Richmond who was also going for free and is knocking the door down at Richmond, why didnt we pick him up? Any answers from ...

About time the umpires were called out for their woeful decision making. Absolute joke.......Cant work out why they are so protected especially when we call players soft , weak etc

Melbourne definitely ahead and they have depth as well. There is another thread regarding the saints recruiting and football management whereby posters have put up some good stats.

Just dont pick midgets...get the best available. Given the saints recruiters are not the best going around then a trade for a proven very good player would be the best option (3)..Surely they cant stuff that up.

Agree 100% Bruce has been missed. Hopefully he can play the last 6/7 games and then have a good pre-season for 2019. This year has gone already for him basically.

Agree saynta, that should be Lonies last game in the side this year and possibly for good. Just not strong enough, will never make a rover or a good forward pocket. A good player in the magoos ala Dunstan. Weller is in the same boat , was lucky to get a game against the Eagles, might make a tagger b...

So its official then, it is a rebuild is that what I am hearing here? Never heard the word for the last 5 years to describe the St Kilda strategy. That would mean 12 other clubs are rebuilding too because they are short 3-4 very good players. Adelaide in 2017 were "very" decent and they ha...

His marking was the strongest I have seen all year from him.

true story Beno. Thats what is called a truthful stat that cant be glossed over. Not like....He got "20 touches" so he is such a good player.

If you keep accepting poor performance that is what you end up with all the time....The standard you accept is the standard you get. These people running the club dont appear to have any KPI's apart from bullshitting members and employing as many people as they can in the corporate unit. Dont worry ...

Obviously it was a technical problem because he came good against the Eagles. He didnt have that problem the last 2 years

Yes, you are right, his moves are a bit deceptive and he did show some good pace a couple of times. Be interesting to see how he plays out the year

Top footballer and has come back well from that bad leg break he had. Just as good as the other stars that posters keep sprouting about i.e Gaff and kelly. He does love himself though.

Not sure Dunstan or Newnes have a heap of currency. Dunstan lacks that bit of pace and his kicking skills are below average and he never seems to play a couple of good ones in a row. Newnes is a bit quicker and can kick a few goals but I think he has improvement in him. He would go better at another...

What is the pass mark for Richardson? We have won 1.5 games and may win another couple. I believe this is his 5/6th year without a finals appearance and looks like it may be a couple of more years so that would make 8. When does it stop? why would you be happy with mediocre performance. I have never...

His record is fairly good without winning a flag at either club. If he can lift Fremantle up to the finals and maybe a flag that would top out his career but it looks like he will run out of time.

He has done fairly well since his debut. Looks a tough type, could do with a dash of speed but he is definetly suited in the backline

I will agree with ape man. Hickey was up against a very good ruck combination and did his job. Didnt kick goals and was generally average around the ground but never let them dominate him. He is better than Longer but would not make it into to many other teams as a first ruck.
