This is all playing into Sydney's hands; get ourselves too concerned with ruck, neglect other areas. Focus!

IF we're serious about playing in finals the mantra is simple! ANYONE! ANYWHERE! ANYTIME!!! I am concerned with only the Sydney match this week and doing MY bit in the outer to achieve victory. I fear nobody and I respect everybody in the final eight we can beat any of them if the boys are good eno...

Got to unfortunately agree with Plugger and others here. No enjoyment of watching one of our rivals beat another one of our rivals. It proves next to nothing in the context of finals. I don't hate the Pies, I love the Saints. I feel the same about Collingwood as I do about Geelong and Adelaide. Seem...

I dont have a problem with this Gardi can go forward resting, kosi rucks and ben on bench - rotating You wont be liking selection at about 10:30 Saturday Night. Why are ppl in our Cheersquad so damned negative all the time??? I wont be re joining the Cheer Squad next year so please count me out of ...

Onya spinner.....your another who is able to judge the quality of posts...because you are such an authority...seriously.. Your generally viewed as a seriel sniper who takes cheap shots..... Problem with the fab 5 they honestly belive the are speaking for everyone when they decide a posts quality......

I usually scoff at this marketing fluff, but that was stirring. From the captain. (probably from some it nerd, but nonetheless it was great) I understand the people who feign surrender to cushion the emotional impact if we were to drop out of the finals. Fair enough, you're a saints supporter. I'm ...

I don't think we're bringing Gardi in cos we HAVE to. This is a good move, forward thinking as Joffaboy suggests. As Anything'sPS said, the concern is their small speedy forward line. Zac or Blake should give way, Zac's disposal is better, but Blake is more mobile, so I dunno... Our midfield wins, w...

we play at 100% - we win.

I think a lot of people have forgotten how good our best is. Better than Carlton, West Coast, Hawthorn, maybe even Geelong IMHO.

But the team has to prove it, doesn't it?

Stay tuned for step one on Saturday.

We

Win

This is the new St Kilda. I hope other teams can get used to a St Kilda that doesn't shoot itself in the foot, or sack their coach every 3 years, or bottom out, or make people laugh with their ameteurish approach. Because we are not that club anymore. And we can't ever go back. Sure one or two seaso...

No. After Lovett, and after our history with 'characters', this fella might kick a few goals but he represents the old St Kilda we've worked so hard to put in the past. As stated above, no clause can stop someone f****** up, and though it might be easy to sack him afterwards, he'll still be written ...

I've heard that Tapas is a good feed over there. Love it! Seriously, why go on holiday to Spain then try watching AFL? At least check out La Liga it something. If you're lucky, some bars have Eurosport2 or ESPN which might have a game... not sure if it will be Saints though. Enjoy your holiday, thr...

I think we're all sick of it mate! Not much we can do about the past but use it to prepare for the future. RL too conservative to win GF? Dunno; he did put Sam Gilbert in the forward line on both GFs last year, although he could have done it earlier in the replay - only Sam's terrible goal kicking s...

I was at that game too. My first year of going to games regularly. Not a bad way to start. Don't remember much about it except the huge adrenalin kick in the crowd knowing that we were going to the GF. I don't think anyone in that stand had any doubt that we'd be premiers that night. I certainly did...

This thread goes out to all those who aren't interested in giving up on the team in what remains of this 2011 season. In the last two years, we have: endured three tumultuous Grand Finals; have lost our two beloved leaders of the one and only Premiership in only the space of 6 months; have had to f...

We grieve with the McVeigh family. My sincere condolences. All the best.

Right on cue, Mr Irrelevant weighs in with his tuppence worth of what his old mate Ross Lyon should do. I'm sure you don't need me to link to that article to imagine what that totally unbiased advice was. Such a negative, pathetic, weak individual. I'm convinced he's the Akermanis of dad's generatio...

fair enough

Thinking about this a bit more. If our contested possessions are lowest in the league and our uncontested possessions are 3rd highest, that confirms the oft-repeated idea that St Kilda are too indirect. It's great that we're able to find space, but that is because our players are in the areas that t...

I think most of us agree that Barks4Eva is overegging it (from what I've seen so far this seems to be his 'style'), and he is wrong about TW needing to be in months ago, but BigCarl is exactly right here with his Ins/Outs. It's time to give him a go. He's been played as a backman to learn the game, ...

I have to say, I can't really make up my mind on this issue, traditionally I always go with the Change The Captaincy side when things go sour, on this occasion after consideration I followed the Keep The Current Captain movement... but after reading APSainters' logical arguement, I think I'm seeing ...

He'll still get his mill so it shouldn't bother him too much..... Cynical and pithy comment I'd expect from a HeraldSun reader who supports another club - very surprised at this from you though Bob. I'd imagine that he cares more about his professional career and his team's form than the bank balan...

Roo is the man for the job. There is no one else anyway. I think we need to come to the realisation that he's not 25 anymore and he has some chronic injuries. Saying that he's still a formidable forward in the comp. He needs a little help in the forward line, that's all. +1 BJ not a communicator, L...

to the supporters talking about starting 2012 now; GROW A SPINE We've lost games before, we'll lose them again. We don't throw in the towel. Back at Etihad, Roos are waiting. Easy meat... for us. Expect a few players to be a bit more awake, such as Monty, Milne McEvoy and Gilbert, slot Kosi and Zac ...
