Would like it at home. Doesn't deserve to be in a team that will cop a hiding next week for his 200th.

Thoughts?

Let him play his 200th in Melbourne. Give the kids a run next week.

Gotta sympathise with Winnersonly. I do not see much improvement in the team even given the personnel available. Game plan seems to be all over the place. A developing team should be emphasising the basics. How many tackles are sticking? What is the forward structure? Why are there so many holes in ...

Jones cannot be allowed to play another game. He kills us with his disposal. Curren could not be any worse. You have got to be joking, One of our best by far today and disposal was pretty good stop crapping on a bout the same thing and give credit where its due I hate Jones kicking style - but he d...

Agree, we need a new team..........

Collingwood legacy brought by Watters. Ruins structure going forward. Watters game plan is really fallen apart. I can't see Watters taking any team to an AFL GF with his current game paln.

Jones cannot be allowed to play another game. He kills us with his disposal. Curren could not be any worse.

Can't believe at how easily Dawes went down. Must have been a great contact. Not smart of Simpkin but he should learn from it.

Why can't our players keep their feet.falling over at every opportunity.

This is a team selected to win more than to just blood players. I think this will be a percentage booster plus some.

Cant agree but each to there own. Milney will be a Saints player even if he quits right now and I also think it would be a bad look for Milney to quit. I honestly think he should play this week if he feels up to it and if he doesnt then he should rest until he does feel up to it. If he wants to ret...

Yes very excited by the potential. I am sure that Pelchen will also look for strong leadership qualities (Judd like) and will be careful of strong "go home" factors like with Aish. I remember that Geelong had a very bad year under Bomber Thompsen and picking up some great draft picks (Selw...

Lost by selection of Saad.

Ledger is a SPUD

Care to elaborate? We are in desperate need for an in and under mid.

Really disappointed that none of our players looked like they were upset with such a bad loss. Have they lost the mojo to win?

Another positive.. we have secured a higher draft pick. Let's not waste it.

Not contributing to the midfield. Hasn't got the strength to make defensive tackles stick. Can't afford to have just a pure small forward unless he is Milne which he isn't.

I am scared at what the Hawks will do to us on this current form. This year will get ugly on occasions however, by the end we will be in a better position to determine: 1. which of our young guys will make the grade 2. which of our older players should retire 3. who can we trade for draft picks All...

Ferguson is nowhere near the level. Embarrassingly slow when he gets the ball Lets pick him out. how is the AA Sam Fisher going? People blem the backline when heaps of goals are kicked. Look where it starts and thats in the middle. Both correct. Ferguson is looking like the next Raph Clarke. And ou...

Have to agree it looked like a coaching issue. Looked like the instruction was to move the ball forward at all costs rather than the Ross Lyon retain the ball, structure up and then work the ball forward. After qtr time it looks like we should have shown more patience. Our kids have the foot skills ...

Would Curren provide more defensive pressure up forward for say Milera and then Maister out for Dunell?
Keep developing the next generation. ( Is that next years logo 2014 Saints, the next generation! )

Out: Maister (back too early - not his fault), Saad, Milera , Ray In: Curren , Jones, Simpkin, Shenton Gotta agree with changing out one of the small forwards as we need more midfield grunt and atm Curren is the form I see ball I get ball player, and he is OK up forward too. Saad still provides mor...

Cheers thunda... Curren, Ferg & Shenton... About time we start having a look at these guys in a saints jumper surely? If they cant get a game this year they should all be delisted as sad as it sounds. 3 years for 2 of them without a game and 2 years for the other. I still say jack is an AFL foo...
