Unfortunately the saints are at that point again....this squad can't win a flag...therefore we need to rebuild...we therefore need high draft picks...we need to backwards before we can go forward...

Here's topic for you...we've tried everywhere else to be and the next stop is Frankston. Since we left Moorabin and then Waverley the whole things become about money and success anyway. Pull the pin, go to the GC, bask in the success! 11 games there, 8 in Melbourne, 3 whereever, all the draft pics ...

Would we be the only club without an indigenous player playing this weekend? Personally I find this dissapointing and the club should really be looking at recruiting some Indigenous talent, not because they are Aboriginal per say but because it would add an additional dimension to our side that is ...

I know a lot of people are getting frustrated with Ross Lyon and his game plan, I'm one of them. But who would you replace him with? Any suggestions? Here's one from left field who has been missing from our line up and forced to retire. Know he would be a very raw rookie coach but if he could insti...

Yes 1997 we lost the Grand Final, not alright, 2004 & 5 didn't make the Grand Final, not alright. That's are problem we think making the finals is alright and being successful. Successful is standing on that podium after the final siren on the last Saturday in September holding that premiership...

it was terrible...so favourablr....terrible dane swan throws it infrot of himself...get a free kick...somehow...goal... sam fisher does not touch the ball...he camps over it...doesnt touch it...HOLDING THE BALL??? INTERESTING the umpires beat us...not collingwood and it farking hurts No your wrong....

I agree we should have a spot in the side for an extra youngster and change them over depending on the opposition. They will develop far quicker playing AFL. Totally agree...in factt have a look at todays Scorpians game...it will be wet, slow and heavy...definatly not good for our kids...on the oth...

Yes, 23 and dropped by Sydney...he has a lot to prove and sfrom what I have seen of him so far I would rather see one of our draft picks get a chance...

Have a look at todays Age...From 2005-07 we introduced 8 new players, the lowest in the comp. Brisbane on the other hand has introduced 26 new players and after winning three flags is now setting their sights on another one. If we don't introduce, mentor and play our draft picks, we will be going no...

Brown coat I agree...as Saints supporters we have been too soft for too long. Successful clubs throughout the world demand success and release the players that they know can't deliver the ultimate success. In other words they make the tough decisions. We have very few legitimate quality players wit...

After a toxic week in the world of saintsational, with fingers pointed at young players, the stupid posts of young idiots and a real bad feeling around this place I want everyone to enjoy the weekend off. Lets all relise that each of us love the saints. We are 5th on the ladder, have the weekend of...

No! Develop and nurture what we have...It's good that Hawks and Cats are flying now....Lets just gather momentum coming into finals...Weren't the dogs on top at this stage last year? Yes but my point is that the current group has been nurtured and has consistently shown that it doesnt have the capa...

I'd say we are rebuilding.

Then we need to play them...which means letting players from the current group go....and then giving this group time to develop together...like we did in 03, 04 and 05....

Ask me again at seasons end.Arent we 4-3,in the 8 and a finals contender Yes we are in the 8, but so is half the competition. My argument is based upon the belief that the current playing group can't win the flag. Endemic problems (midfield goalkicking, general skill level, ability to manage and pr...

Surely I have the right to give my opinion and am happy for people to discuss the issue...it seems too many people on here (like yourself) want to play the man and not the ball....

Let's be honest, this team has had its chance to win a flag, and now the game has passed it by. Time to rebuild and plan aggressively for a flag in 4-6 years. With our best player in Harvey finishing, I believe it is also time for a few others to pack their bags. Thoughts?

Just a thought...but could you imagine how good Roo would be if he had decent players slotting the ball down his throat instead of putting it over his head, at his feet, wide or waiting so long that he has to compete with 3 opponents jumping all over him...etc etc....thank god we have Bangers as he ...
