Do any of our players read these forums.

Its great to have a place where the Saints supporters can voice opinions and give candid views on player performance or ability but do we think any of this get looked at by players/officials just to get an idea.Interesting thought.

I know the coaches visit on Thursdays to get feedback on team selections and game day strategies.

one would hope not.........i think the clubs long ago gave good advice to their players to avoid sites such as this one......with good reason too....too much negativity.........and in some cases down right abuse.......i remember it affecting one player markedly...according to his mum.......

Agreed Stinger. Players and officials do trawl this site. I know several players and officials who have been very disappointed by what they have read here.

[BigMart]

Why would they care?!

At the end of the day, they have earned the right to an AFL career and have that to be proud of, and what we could only dream of....

I think the criticism of armchair experts would be dismissed very quickly... As it should

I do think Grant came on here, to get amongst the masses and communicate. He also has blogged and twittered.... He loves the banter, and opinions....

[Bunk_Moreland]

I hear Clint Jones gets on here after every match to read Redeemers comments religiously.

[dragit]

No doubt some still would, but if they are thin skinned it would be a terrible move.

I remember Gram coming on here early days and having a bit of a cry…

The greatest players in our history have copped a whack on here, so anyone is fair game… it's a fan site, if you can't handle criticism (warranted or not) - DO NOT ENTER.

Apparently Beau Maister is so addicted to this forum, it effects his on field performance.

The Fireman is actually Tim Allen.

The Fireman is actually Tim Allen.

The (in)famous actor/comedian, not the former Saints player

[mr six o'clock]

The players are too busy training , playing , recovering and crimping clunge !

[SainterK]

Thought zac was on here...

[whiskers3614]

Thought zac was on here...

Gave up when he found it didn't have pictures!

[3rd generation saint]

Well they definitely come on here to read Plugger's reasoning as to why they got that 2 match suspension.

[plugger66]

I dont think any players would read this forum. Im sure some family members would though.

[BigMart]

Why?

[magnifisaint]

Because it's there to be read.

[skeptic]

Yeah Siposs' father came on here and made a bit of an ass of himself... Best to be avoided i think. Unless ur thick skinned

It's interesting,

I think the last place you'd want to go is to a fan forum to hear amatuer commentary on your son.... It'd be bad enough just going to the footy.

Most forum fans are tragic fans who are die hard supporters of their club. Many parents nowadays wouldn't have even supported the club their son is at until he went there... Then it would be just because of their kid.

Most of you are probably not aware that I had sort of known Atilla in person before he cracked it on here, and I know for a fact he and his family were Sainters thru and thru before Arryn joined. So he probably visited before Arryn played?

He hasn't surfaced for a big while, possibly at the request of Arryn or he just made a. Smart call. He did like to talk about his boy (fair enough) but wasn't a fan of critical comments. Therefore this is the last place to come.

I made a fairly small critique of him after drafting, if he heard some of the late commentary... He would get quite upset I reckon?

Pretty sure The Fireman is CJ.

[manoffewwords]

Yes

[Jacks Back]

This forum actually affects my performance in bed.

It has been scientifically proven that I snore 35% more at night after I visit this site compared to not visiting here.
