stop being a whiny wuss two wrongs don't make a right...think about the ramifications if all these things got picked up and players were rubbed out the victim attitude among saints fans in general is deplorable yes we got ripped off...whining about others doesn't change that and if you really want t...

Fans of footy put a lot of emphasis on various things which are said to win you a game of footy: You need a good coach (tactically, of course...) You need match-winning players You need good structures and 'set-plays' You need to be fit, fast, well drilled You need some luck with injury/umpiring/fix...

that was finals quality footy our first half was good enough - footy that made me really want us to win so we would make the finals because we were playing good enough to win a few our second half was not 3rd quarter we couldn't get near it around the ball, they thrashed us i dunno, we were without ...

Goose was on the end of one of the more comprehensive baths i've seen he was just hammered he was beaten by himself and his man in the air and on the ground in front of goal and up the ground... he didn't get near winning a contest pretty much he has no excuses - he himself said he was right on spor...

i dont think that's true

players will still bump and block around the ball, just not off the ball

plus, this decision/iddue really isn't seen as being that great outside of saints fans...we're up in arms about it, but nobody else really cares

harder surfaces should lead to less fatigue than softer surfaces in the game itself but, they are also linked to more damage and therefore longer recovery, which i guess is the fatigue you're talking about a softer surface decreases the rate of loading in impact, which is seen as the major determina...

conflict of evidence perhaps... selwood/headland was thrown out because because of insufficient evidence...nobody knows what was said well, nobody knows what was done in the baker instance what's that famous line again..."it's the vibe" baker was playing on farmer, farmer was found bloodie...

in my unbiased opinion - i am seriously trying to be objective about this - this decision is the worst, most unjust decision i can remember and certainly so since the tribunal was reformed 7 weeks! how long has it been since there was a bigger penalty? even 5 weeks? pickett and johnson almost severe...

Thornton looks so unsuspecting...

Gehrig is salivating...

Grover can see the imminent danger, but can't do anything about it...

not at the moment we don't but we still have enough time to become deserving winners

Johnathon Brown kicked Goal of the Week, if not year after the siren

Milne's wasn't anything special really...lots and lots of luck

GOTY always goes to a gimmick anyway so he probably was ripped off

Clint Jones will not improve his kicking in my estimation, his style is so incongruent with a nice kick, that he just won't be able to improve it much there is still value he can add...if he can work on his hands and win the ball in close or become more of a tagger type then that is good he has the ...

i'm far from sold on goose as far as i can see, he is our weakest link at the moment... panics in 1-on-1s too much, gives away frees as well... i say weakest link because he will be playing on a gun in a dangerous position, as opposed to a bench/midfielder type he is a worry for mine obviously he's ...

1) The Corridor We really went through the corridor yesterday, allowing our delivery inside 50 to make use of the fat side much better. We were fast through the middle with a lot of carry through the centre square and numbers running in support. Probably our best ball movement of the year. 2) Kick-I...

the only real difference is media speculation we looked like we did it better because: there was no genuine media speculation surrounding it it was after the season it happened very fast to me, it looks like essendon surrendered to media pressure and therefore look really pathetic the only reason ou...

who has a 'plan B'? nobody has a 'plan B' the reasons why plan A don't work are things like skill execution, pressure and tackling, talk and etc... all are things that a) won't change in a 'plan B' and b) would cause plan B to fail as well there is no magic button, no easy switch...if your plan A i...

Gehrig - If his lack of passion is anything to go by then I can't see him going on, agree with OWTS, not apart of our next flag. lack of passion...? playing with injured hand, injured foot, working his backside off defensively whilst getting 0 help offensively and he is dispassionate? what are you ...

Lyon is no idiot he knows, as do all those with common sense and a pair of eyes, that Gehrig is an incredibly important player he also knows that gehrig's poor form the last couple weeks basically hasn't been his fault he has received rubbish - genuinely terrible - delivery in a crowded forward line...

the reality is, thats just the way he is

i see allen as our next key defender and not gilbert gilbert has all the skills of a great wingman... goddard's disposal is too good to take away from the back half/midfield i mean, all players will swap and rotate so yes he'll spend some time forward but i like his disposal setting us up, not finis...

OWTS, i find that you rely on stats too much well, maybe rely isn't the right word, but you're always looking to them to get a point across i mean, you say we had 5th lowest games avg this weekend, but do you have the actual numbers on that? may as well post the full stats...as far as i've always be...

While you can get ALL players to play harder, tackle more etc....some players are just naturally pre-disposed to being mean bas****. Baker was not taught to be mean & fierce....nor was Sammy... and no matter how much you coach you will NEVER turn players such as Harvey, Dal or Fiora into mean b...

You ask where is our toughness... Have a look at the players we recruited.... How many hard nuts have we reruited????? Hamill, Powell and Baker.....thats it. Some of the new crop like Armo maybe..but it is too early to tell. Hard bodies....have a look at the overall list and you see frail (by AFL s...

For me, it's not so much that we lost it's how we lost we just keep putting ourselves out of the running, story of the season thus far... a good opportunity opened up for us to go to 7th i think, and we just let it slip...not because we were beaten by a better team so much, but because we beat ourse...
