I think Sharman and Hayes were both msd pickups and both played/ filled a hole that year although struggled to cement a spot since. Newcombe for hawks has worked out for them. With a question mark on Crouch & Seb long term it would make sense to go for Hall if he can slot in this year. Is Hall ...

Great penetration in his kicking.

Look at who Essendon has played so far this season and their winning margins (including against us) Yes, they beat GWS but when GWS was in a slump And they drew with Collingwood whose form is equally as problematic as is Essendon’s Then look at their losses, the size of those losses and who the los...

Honestly who listens to Lloyd? He parrots Cornes and can barely stutter a sentence together He’s an A grade fcwit Still dirty no one “called him” to mentor Max Why?? The guys a sad Essenscum apologist who just cheerleads them I turn off when this twit starts spluttering…actually I haven’t turned th...

What has happened?

We have actually traded and drafted well.
Chemistry and confidence is as low as I can remember.

Whose in charge of that?

Good question.

There's always next year.

I'm running out of "next years".

Clark, Crouch, Jones, Membrey in next week. Should also give Allison and/or Hotton a chance too. No to Jones - he’s finished Seb Ross ought to also be in that boat Gotta go forward Crouch Clark Membrey Forward line pressure massive issue Did Butler play? Did Garcia back up last week efforts? I didn...

Did you have us 3-8 sitting 15th on the ladder?!

Honestly? NO.

no votes from me either

Can't blame injuries.
Can't blame players who left/retired.

No you cant so I would be looking at the coaches.

What the hell are we doing?!

I thought I saw the Saints worst ever performance several weeks ago, but that game had nothing on the piss poor effort I am witnessing today, Piss poor effort which starting with piss poor selections. How the f*** do Sharman, Caminiti and Collard get games, when far better credentialed players stagn...

They put out all sorts of rubbish just to cause a pile-on.

Some actress in Hollywood, decades ago, said
'The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about'

I rate journos as the lowest on the pole.. scum.

If we're not fighting for premierships we should be fighting for draft picks.

Don’t know about that - Billings, McCartin, Clarke and Coffield - all taken in the top 10.

Name the last first round selection that yielded us a standout players.

CLARK, FFS

We were pumped

Only Marshall could really say he performed well enough

Maybe 1st half for Owens

Some others were serviceable but not significant

I would say that the coach was disappointed in his players.

Well some of us are disappointed in the coaching panel.

Only one saint given votes. Marshall snagged 2. All the other votes went to 6 shockers

Ok, we can use a lot more class in our team- like most teams, but we are playing a terrible style of football as a TEAM. We can point the finger at a few player's form, but what I see is a team who are not working together, lost confidence, look confused, and you don't necessarily need elite skills...

I think that is what cuddles is aiming for, sadly.

You can't win premierships, or games even, if you can't score and Lyons teams don't score.

Nathan Burke is not a coach's arsehole. Prove that tying to coach the girls at the Saints and then the doggies.

It's a rarity for me to be on the same page as my old mate Vortex, but I couldn't agree more with his succinct comments! To be fair, my views on the coach versus talent debate hasn't changed one little bit since before Richo departed, and then before Ratts departed and then I kept expressing the sa...
