Re: It's battle of the coaches saints v blues
Will be super hard to beat the blues this round they are so pumped with their new coach and all.. But guess what Ratten is a former blue with more than one thing to prove.. Sacked by the blues as we know.. There is more on the line here than we know.. If the saints win this one Ratts is our man. Se...

Re: Umpires pets
Eddie probably throws them a bone. Given that the AFL refuses to employ them as professional full-time umpires, I can't say I can blame them if they're accepting bribes. In my view, the umpiring standards will only continue to suck (particularly for lower-market clubs, like St.Kilda) for as long as...

Re: Umpires pets
At the risk of feeding certain posters with fake moon landing "evidence"... Saints are certainly not the umpire's pets this year. Bulldogs and Pies up there. https://i.imgur.com/dDhgUCY.jpg Not too surprised about the Pies. If they’d show a deficit, Eddie would run amok through AFL headqu...

Re: Jack Stevens Trade
Call me a cynic, but I just have the feeling that Jack simply does not want to play for the Saints any longer. So mental illness is a convenient out. IF the trade rumours are true, I bet your bottom dollar that “mental illness’ will no longer be a problem when playing for Geelong - there won’t be an...

Re: To be sacked immediately.......
Not to mention the person who used pick 1 on a diabetic I don’t think diabetes can be blamed for Paddy’s shortcomings. Diabetes did not hamper him from playing well. It was his uncanny knack to get concussed which now sidelines him and, really, recruiters could not foresee this. As for the other re...

Re: Frees. For and Against.
I don't buy into the Umpires being biased. I just think umpiring standards are below where they need to be. It was just a classic display of Umpires not having a feel for the game. Terrible display all day and they should be dropped next week. You could be right. I only said could be... But we have...

I am a passionate supporter of the club, BUT I am NOT a supporter of the destruction of this club! I've been a member for 25yr and had a reserve seat for 15.

Re: The great Saints Conspiracy
I don't think it is deliberate but I think there are subconscious factors at play for sure. I don’t think there is a conspiracy against St Kilda. However, I do believe bias definitely comes into the umpiring. We all grew up with barracking for our team. Then we have some teams we sort of like, some...

Re: Carlisle free kick
Maybe we should ask the Bulldogs to reveal their secret to get all those fee kicks. In their game against Sydney, they got 13 more free kicks, and yesterday against Freo it was 10 more free kicks.Grimfang wrote: Not sure which rules the umpires were using at one point.

If you know the rules, it is not even arguable. It was a free kick every day of the week. Unless you are a St Kilda player, that is.

Re: Richo about to give press conference!!!!!
In reality our win against Brisbane, albeit far from a stellar performance, was decent. Our first quarter was good and from red time in the third we were good (at times superb). Obviously we got smashed inside, but that improved, Steven stepping up and Longer lifted a bit. I think we are disrespect...
