If we are so irrelevant like north can you treat us accordingly and take your "bog average" gripes elsewhere?

Some think I am criticising the Club in my posts on this in which I have been pretty consistent all year on. Whereas what I am actually criticising is this part of the plan which to me is fundamentally flawed. That's fair enough. I think the makings of all the premiership teams have still been on t...

Maybe those efforts weren't fair dinkum and were made just to appease the malcontents who thought the saints were sitting on their hands doing nothing, . So all the announcements from the club including the strategic plan since 2014 to land good players from other clubs now was all marketing ploy t...

As forpick 34, Isn't it best that we have a second round pick THIS year, with a chance of getting one next year to -- rather than certainly having one next year and ceretainly NOT having one this year?? Avid warned for making sense and not enough references to potatoes +1 we've managed to come back...

Great post Drake

Was it a 2 year deal? So next year?

I think people are missing the point IMHO - it's actually trading our 2018 2nd rd for 34 (2017 2nd rd). We wouldn't have used piscks 59 & 63 so these were of no consequence We went into 2016 and 2017 trade periods without 2nd rd picks and emerged from both with picks so you can see what the plan...

Too much doom and gloom here. People need to have realistic expectations I reckon. 1. We didn't get mature elite mid - very disappointing yes. But tell me one who actually changed clubs??? Money and picks saved and still there for 2018 2. Tomlinson wanted to come home. This was reported a few times ...

It's dementing. This wasn't the plan the Pelican had. We're straying, and I don't like it.

Bit early to panic surely?

Is there a reason the Pelican hasn't worked in footy since being moved on?

Telling about the bloke that no one club has gone super hard from the outset...

If he is getting $300K in that role Bains is incompetent.

Absolutely no way known. Would be lucky to be getting six figures! Role is mid-level and reports into Elshaug

I am concerned that we have been promised a 'Big Fish'. With Kelly, Martin and Whitfield all recommitting, I am concerned that our 'think tank' will just grab anyone who comes along and parade them as a 'big fish'. I am still hopeful of getting a coup at the trade table, but I am concerned that we ...

Said in another thread I heard this was imminent. Major delay I heard was him changing managers mid-stream. Leadership group, lives out the back of the Club and surely not minded to go to a third club!

Believe he changed managers during the season which caused delays. Be amazed if not done very soon from what I've heard. Hadn't heard anything Hawks related!

2 year extension for Marshall

Have no fear. The mediocracy rules at the saints. He's doing a great job. The only thing more important than success is STABILITY. It's our new mantra. Keep the status quo at all costs. It's pleasing. Be as facetious as you like champ, but the "other tried and trued" method hasn't done us...

Apparently imminent so you can redirect your sarcasm for another target WS

Embarrassing performance after a strong month. No excuses but 3 games in 13 days incl Perth. Heard a number of blokes laid up ill during the week.
Scary part is next fortnight!

Why isn't McCartin fitter? 3 pre seasons... is clearly not AFL fit He had 15 possessions in each of the last 2 games as well as hauling in 9 and 5 marks in each of these games - not bad for a someone who his supposedly not AFL fit Super important player for us going forward - only just turned 21 an...
