Re: Team v Port
Sadly, in the decades I've been following the Saints, it has never been a rebuild, just topping up the list trying to get quick success. I remember when Lyon left, the club presumed the next coach could take that team to the finals, but Watters saw deficiencies with the list after the 2010 final an...

Re: Jordan Lewis about coaches
I do agree B.M with the above. The crux of it is though, it’s that we have a semi-quality side and look how much Ross Lyon pushed our side this year with all the injuries. We are in a way better spot compared to Ratts last year. It’s not about this year though, it’s about taking our quality kids (I...

Re: Supporters need perspective
Long term Saints supporters have had plenty of perspective, lots of excuses and too long in the waiting room waiting for the next miracle to happen. IMO Lyon had had his day and should never have been appointed, and I see it just as PR exercise by Basset. I totally agree. Couldn't have said it bett...

Re: Why Saints Must Finish Bottom 4 2023
Who on earth writes such crap. The flow-on effect on finishing bottom four would be enormous. Als already mentioned, we would own the 4.50 Sunday time slot, minimum Friday or Saturday games, loss of sponsorships, loss of memberships and how could we entice any good players to the club. Who in their ...

Re: Draw flatters us
TEFLON, this is a bit harsh. Ladder position up to about round 6 or 7 is always precarious. But I agree, the next two games (GWS and Port) are absolute must wins, as a loss to Melbourne is pretty much guaranteed. Travelling to Manuka Oval and then to Cairns where the temperature is still around the ...

Re: St Kilda, you are finished!!!
This club has no future. The only future is Tasmania, or a merger, none of which will happen. I’m off to support GWS. Goodbye Saints and thanks for the memories, even if they weren’t so good... Tassie – you wish. Now Essendon is gunning for Tasmania as well. Who do you think will get priority?

FFS this s*** has gone on long enough we can't keep sacking coaches.
Ratten is good enough, we need to recruit better and build a better team for him to work with

Re: I’m done
Yep – I have to admit I’m over it as well. My partner is a Hawthorn supporter, but for the past 26 years he bought a St Kilda membership because the Saints needed it more than the Hawks. I can no longer justify this and I will urge my partner to buy a Hawthorn membership next year. This is simply no...

Re: AFL Fixture
The Saints only have themselves to blame for this fixture. We were handed a pretty similar one in 2016, over-achieved and finished 9th and therefore lobbied the AFL for a better fixture. I think the quote Richo used was that “we’ve done our share of the heavy lifting.” The AFL responded, gave us mo...

Jaysus, that’s a tough start. West Coast, Richmond, Geelong away, Collingwood all by round 7. Then GWS away in round 9. That’s last year’s top 5 all by round 9.
