Re: What are our expectations moving fwd??

For 2014 ... at least have one more win. Definitely love to see us beat Bulldogs at Etihad in Lenny's final home game at Etihad. No disgrace to lose honourably to Sydney, Adelaide and Gold Coast at their home grounds. But a win against Dogs to avoid wooden spoon would be great,

Re: Match thread v Blues

PATHETIC SAINTS. Thanks for making me feel good in 2nd q and then surrendering in a PATHETIC fashion in 2nd half. Thanks for 10 losses in a row. Bring on 2015 scos nothing can be as bad as what we are copping in 2014.

Good bye TDL … we've given him a go. 2 shots on goals for 2 behinds not good enough.

Re: Match thread v Blues

Agree we need another FOX because we are going to need somne bucks injected to be competitive again. Assuming we won't win another game for season 2014 … it will probably be April 2015 by the time we win again. That's 12 months without seeing a win. And knowing many fans are fickle our membership is...

Some Encouragement From 1996

Interesting to note that on this JUNE 23 1996 - Saints lost to West Coast Eagles by 33 points - same amount as yesterday. It was also our 5th loss in a row. Do you think then that we could imagine then that we'd be in the Grand Final in the following season? Ok … not saying it will happen in 2015 - ...

Still Can't Crack A Century

Would have been nice to finish off the game v Eagles with a couple more goals. Painful to watch in last q. Our best effort so far is 95 points v Giants Round 2.

Other pitiful scores from Round 1 - 68, 58, 50, 81, 79, 30, 69, 87, 54, 59, 37, 70.

Re: Game Thread v GC Suns

Looking ahead … it's depressing too think that we probably won't witness another win until 2015. I can't think of one team we can beat. It will only happen if our opposition has an off day and we play at our absolute best. Having experienced the highs of the late 2000s … this is heartbreaking stuff ...

NZ Travel Factor

Ok … we were always going to lose big time - but maybe the NZ plane trip - like a trip to the West is a bit of a factor. I'll be very interested to see how Brisbane fare against Swans tonight.

No not delusional … still think Armitage, Gilbert, Hickey, Fisher, Geary, maybe a Templeton, Wright … may have kept us to about a 99 point loss. Next week … WE CANNOT be any worse!

Oh that's so painful. That puts Hawthorn at the bottom of my hate list. Hawks supporters have suffered nil pain since the 50s.

Re: VFL RD 4- Sandringham vs Casey

Thanks for that. Googling around to find something. Your report all I could find. Appreciate your review.

With Wright and Templeton gone for a long period and Armitage/Gilbert out for a while we need someone to step up and grab an opportunity.

Love Lee's shots on goal … but needs to do more.

Well Joffa ... have a nice Easter Sunday my friend. I'm certainly not ashamed of my belief in Jesus - I'm just ashamed in my 'dumb belief' in thinking the Saints were no chance against the Bombers. The win certainly made my Easter very special.

At Easter everyone get's a four day holiday ... or an extra 2 days off because it's Easter. Yep, doesn't matter whether you got to church or believe in Jesus - you still get 2 full days off. Surely out of respect for the Christian religion we can cope without one day of footy? Imagine if the powers ...

Don't really care about this weeks ins … we won't beat Bombers. But we MUST beat Brisbane in New Zealand. So important as we build a possible fan base in NZ. Plus Brisbane in NZ is probably our most winnable game for many weeks. Rest whoever … even Roo. Just have them fresh for NZ.
