Very happy with this appointment for a lot of reasons. Bringing a bit of the Borough winning culture and tough as nails game to our club can't be a bad thing. Also we can always do with some positive brand association which this gives it in spades. Well done Alan and Finnis.

Shaggy seems obvious backfill for Gears. Particularly with strong and consistent recent performances.

So Richo asked "Who'd like a game next week in the seniors?" and it looks like they all put up their hands!

While it is still fresh,outs next week Savage...unsited today Gwilt...looks past it Jones..thought he would play most games this year,I reckon now I was wrong Geary..injured That's only 4 could be many more Savage...unsighted today >> Dunell Gwilt...looks past it. >> Fisher Jones.. >> Dunstan Geary...

No one deserves a vote. Disgraceful performance all round. Players should have their pay for this week deducted. Don't agree. Even on Telly with a completely biased coverage a few Saints stood out. 5 Stanley, one of the few players who held his marks. Even slotted one. Keeps getting better each gam...

JONES 21 These were the only players with 20 or more possessions. IMO Jones is a gutsy player but seems to me to be a turnover king. Puts boot to ball without much thought and even when he has time seems to go down the throat of an opposition player. He has been a good servant of the club but for m...

What he said.

Hard day at the office. Why can't the boys make any tackles stick.

Tom Harley on 7 pre game commentary "can't wait to see Rioli rip up the Saints defense ". Great balanced commentary.

Paid for 5 shares today by direct deposit. Thanks

Great initiative and the club just needs to do more and more of this over our rebuilding years.

I was on his bandwagon from when he was drafted. His highlight reel looked great. I can see him being a regular this season like Dunstan. Also looking forward to seeing our third first round draft pick too who I think will also make Saints hearts beat a little faster. Just a great draft year for the...

Exactly my thoughts.

Potential juggarnaught.

Interesting that Spencer only gets a run in the 2s. I wonder what that means?

I'm on board! Go Eli

so overt half way to covering the cost of the Second player- 44 shares left just $20 per shares. It seems you want to get involved well I have an idea, buy some shares otherwise leave it to the people who have. Talk about unnecessary criticism! :shock: Everybody contributes in their own way and sai...

What positives do we take out of tonights game ? I thought there were some good signs but the conditions may have hurt some of our players . Jones , ray , stanley , lane , meister as experienced players were very average . Webster , wright , templeton , weller , saunders , savage showed they can be...

Roo doesn't have to say anything. Those dagger looks he gives when he gets a bad pass say it all.

Quick rundown... - Backline will potentially be our strongest zone, support around Riewoldt up forward needs to improve. IMO every great team in most sports is built around a defensive structure. That's how Seattle beat the Broncos this week in the NFL. Defensive play may not be that great to watch...

Always good to see your posts. One of the few posters that makes me sit up and pay attention.

I am certainly looking forward to this year.

Like Eli Templeton in that clip. Showed he knows where to collect the ball and how to distribute. Keep an eye on this kid. I don't think he will stay a rookie too long.

I'd be looking at a line up like this: FB: J.Geary L.Delaney S.Gilbert HB: (Player A) S.Fisher D.Roberton C: L.Montagna L.Hayes S.Savage HF: A.Schneider N.Riewoldt (Player B) FF: T.Lee B.Maister (Player C) R: B.Longer D.Armitage J.Steven I/C: T.Hickey C.Jones (Player D) (Player E) :-P IMO Dempster ...

Which teams are likely to finish below the saints? Defitnitely: Wogans, Dreamons, Teddies. Probably: Poodles, Sons of Beaches. Don't be surprised if: E-girls, Bluescum, Tuggers, EffndopeneedlecheatinggotoUSAonlytotrainindoorssoftas. Our defence will be way-yay better... (finally) big key defenders ...

And may all your wishes come true. Here's to a very merry Christmas and a successful 2014
