Billings is a confidence player. We've seen how well he plays when he's confident and fired up. Think we should all get behind the lad rather than deriding him.

8.26 would have gotten us there too.

Exactly. I was there, but I wasn't exactly looking forward to it. Can't wait for the Melbourne game now.

Long
Steven
Carlisle
Paddy
Ross

These are my observations from the game. Lots of good players today.

Minch still in the run but I love the way Long has played this season. A real X factor.

Weller has a long way to go but Hickey had confidence and played a great game. That bs free kick turnover f***ed him and he should have got the confidence early.

Even if we were playing well, GWS are the better team by at least 4 goals. I just hope we give them a red hot crack.

Absolutely

Hopefully every aspect of the business will be put under the microscope and the necessary changes are made. We are only ever a couple of wins from a change in the current mood, although I admit, it's hard to see that happening in the next few weeks. We've had periods over the last couple of years' ...

We've all (rightly) had a massive rant about the state of our club this season.

However, we all all very passionate saints fans who want our club to succeed, so what are some of the positives for us die hard saints supporters to cling onto right now?

The question is how we got ourselves into so much debt in the first place.

We should put our hand out to the wealthy benefactors to solve our clubs shitty cash flow issues.

I would make Coffield captain nest year if he keeps playing the way he currently is.

lolwut?

It's interesting how quickly we've gone from "Dunstan is useless" to "Dunstan is future captain material".

Just goes to show we shouldn't be as quick to write off some of our players as we have been.

AFL just tweeted

"Dylan Roberton remains in hospital on Monday morning with tests ongoing for an irregular heartbeat."

How often do we see John Longmire, the Scott brothers, Buckley, Damian Hardwick and others lose their cool and scream instructions into the phone when someone on their team screws up. You don't see Richo showing any of that passion or anger when our players consistently make bad mistakes He probabl...

We will get a maximum of 15k. I will be one of them, but I expect to leave unhappy.

tries hard but decision making and skills are average

Go to the votes thread, he was definitely in our top 5 players because he tries really hard and that's a good thing in spite of the rubbish turnovers.

We have fallen like the elevator in "Speed". No way back from here.

They used to and he would grab it from his ankles 3 on 1 and get on with the game.

Nah, that fringe no name guy is totally going to become the next Nat Fyfe.

Under 12s coaches award s***.
Geary was putrid. Yes he tries hard.
But this is the AFL ffs.

BUT HE TRIES REALLY HARD CMON

Geary lol

Showed some glimpses today but still a long way to go.

We actually played some good footy in patches when we were 6-7 goals down. We should start every game 40 points down. Not sure if it is because the opposition isn't trying as hard or perhaps the mental pressure is off. It seemed as though every time it got over 40 points we improved and we even hit...

Sack Geary and Richardson. Make Acres captain Hamill coach. Give Carlisle a medal of honour.
