The reason for the poor kicking, is that we have far too many players on the list with poor skills.

Too late to teach them how to kick now. As the old saying goes, "You can't make chocolate out of s***"

The new forward structure took me back to the 'bad old days' of when John Barker was an assistant coach.
Kicking the ball to Rooey everytime we go inside fifty just doesn't make sense. Talk about playing right into Geelong's hands.

Ross Lyon is a tactical genious. No one can deny him that! However, he needs to show a little more faith in younger players, and he will find that they will reward him. This is my only criticism of Ross... a very conservative approach to selection. The most disappointing thing regarding Friday night...

Tom Lynch

Where is Tom Lynch at? I know he has been injured during most of his time at the Saints, but I am concerned about whether he will make it as senior player. A first round draft pick who was recovering from a knee reconstruction so I can understand the Saints being patient, but it seemed that even whe...

Eddie Maguire upset at 3AW

Interesting that Eddie has been critical of Neil Mitchell today for naming the two Collingwood players involved in the alleged sexual assault. So it's unfair for a radio station to name the Collingwood players, but ok for their senior coach to publicly accuse Stephen Milne of being a rapist. Karma i...

From what I can gather, the saints have no room in their cap to target an 'big name' players which begs the question, who are we paying? For me our highest paid players would be...

Roo, BJ, Dal Santo, Lenny, Joey and mabe S.Fisher.

Who else would be on such big money that we are close to the cap?

Dane Swan humble in victory??

Came across this on Dane Swan's Twitter page.

"Rapt for maxy hudgton. Gets a flag. You deserve it. Legend. Haha whoever sacked him"

I would have expected this from their supporters, but from a player??

I thought it was hilarious that whoever did the ratings in the Sun gave us a B- . What the..!!! I would have given the Saints a D (at best). Picked up one kid who hopefully go on and have a long and dsitinguished career, and a witches hat and fluro training top.

Good Luck Goose. You deserve to be at a club where the coach respects you.

Maybe Gerard can ask him what he sees in Raph Clarke, and how he preferred him over Max. Maybe ask him why he chose to get rid of Matt Maguire only to pick up Jesse Smith who is probably less likely to play again due to on-going injury concerns. Also, maybe ask him why he treated Luke Ball the way h...

No doubt, they told Luke to stand his ground and not accept being traded anywhere else. They thought that by hanging out to the 11th hour, that the Saints would lose their nerve and accept some spud or a lowly third round pick. Unfortunately for the Pies, they were dealing with the Saints circa 2009...

Why was Luke Ball dropped in the first place?

Why didn't he sign the 3 year deal?

Why did he nominate only Collingwood as his prefferred destination?
