Watched Hickey ruck really well and get possessions around the ground on Thursday night against Bellchambers. The same Hickey played possibly the worst game ever by a Saint against the same Bellchambers a couple of seasons ago. How do you explain this? It's like our club sucks all the goodness out o...

As a Norwood supporter in the SANFL I can tell you this is a quality appointment. Fantastic club man who knows footy inside out.

Hope he embraces the Saints like his original club.

Nearly made me sick last night. Continuous wank about Charlie & Crippa and how great and how exciting and "gee isn't Fisher a player" and "wow Paddy Dow". Anybody would have thought they were all in love with Carlton and that Carlton were in front and extending their lead. An...

Including last night we have now been outscored by 120 points over the 12 first quarters played this season(23.36-43.36). We have led only 3 times at 1/4 time, first two of season and Collingwood game(all be it North game was a joke 1.2-0.6). We have managed to kick more than 2 goals in a first quar...

Can't understand zone defence. Since when has a piece of grass you are guarding ever kicked a goal. No awareness of oppo players running into forward space like unregistered dogs. Too easy to play against. Sadly I fear McCartin is a bust. Not the tricks for the modern game. Makes you cry to see the ...

Word is that Trengove is out of favour at Port and will be headed back to Melbourne. Apparently manager is looking for a new deal for him. Any thoughts on if hes worth a look. Played his best footy as a lock down key defender a couple of years ago but seems to have gotten lost as Port have tried him...

So what has Carlton's form of the last 10 years showed to give them the right to the season opener? I think we should go to the AFL and submit for maybe a "Heaven V Hell" annual match against Melbourne. Play it on the Saturday or Sunday afternoon of one of the bye weekends so it has stand ...

Congrats to whoever came up with todays banner.

One of the best I've seen in ages.

Keep up the good work.

Living here in Adelaide we naturally get saturated with coverage of Port and Crows. so just out of interest I looked at 4 of the Crows best players from Sunday, McGovern, Cameron, Laird and Atkins. Now I think that any of those four would walk into our side at the moment. But what interested me is w...

IMHO he does so much grunt work that goes unnoticed. I know we want him to take big marks and kick goals but better he does his job and we win games. His workrate is wonderful and just keeps going and going. No chance hes dropped.

I absolutely dip my hat to this guy. His defensive skills and pure nous saved us tonight several times. ability to back into an opponent and back him away from the ball is first class. His last few weeks have propelled him from meh to an elite stopping backman. Totally loving what he brings every we...

Only one clear choice if you live in Adelaide, The Crow Evil Empire by a street.

You are just being contrary now Plugger. What CURLY is saying is not that it cost us the game, but that the umpiring last night showed clear bias, which it did Watch the last quarter when Roo is going for a mark and a Freegles player comes from behind and is all over his head, neck and shoulders. I ...

We supporters are the fools, we continue to pour money into a club which has no hope. Not the club's fault, the AFL does not want a level playing field. Get the AFL to admit they don't care about Saints, Dees and a couple of others. At least then we can either support another club or give the game a...

agree was so s*** tonight.. kinda getting over it TBH. starting to think something is going on. Exactly what I thought watching tonight. I am so over this. Have tried to reconcile it as I love the Saints and love football but I nearly puked watching tonight. We may as well fold up the tents and disa...

Interesting to hear umpire Bannister last night in Hawthorn V Port explaining to Josh Gibson after he gave away a free to Chad Wingard for high contact. Bannister basically told Gibson that he knew contact was accidental but was still high so it was a free. What does that do to those who argued that...

Great football brain, sadly body is now a movement too slow for this level. Love to keep him at club as asst coach because clearly he works well with the kids.

Paddy's attempted snap from the goalsquare would get a gig.

Sadly it looks as though Adam Schneider has not learnt that he can't umpire the game as well as play. Watching him several times talking back to umpires which it seems only inspires those vermin to look for any possible opportunity to penalise him and it probably colours their view of how to adjudic...

Negative: Disgraceful umpiring display. Just plain incompetent.

Positive: At least our small forwards win their own footy. Josh Hill will not smell it in a pressure game, waits for Joe the Gooses on the goal line. Glad he's not in our side.

Last quarter Shenton gives away free to No 36, probably there but then ball goes to other end, same thing happens to Josh, play on.

Having said that love not just his marking but his appetite to work hard at every contest. Creates opportunities for others as well.

No disrespect to Eli but probably should not have been picked in the first place. Needs a string of good VFL form first. Acres looks to be quality and after seeing his run on the boundary and left foot give in the last he also looks quicker than we thought. Needs games now.

Jake Stringer may be a fine young player but he should heed that you don't get ahead of yourself and that you should always pay due respect to a champion of the game. The Karma bus had its headlights on high beam and fog lights on as well when he got caught in the beam late in the game. Sucked in dr...

3.11 in the last quarter? Should have won by goals based on that.

Con, you make a fair point but everything I've seen Sinclair do says quality AFL player. OK, maybe star is a stretch but he may well be. I don't think that about a lot of the others. We see them play either at AFL or at Sandy and wish them to be good. We'd make finals next year if hope matched reali...
