Re: Match thread Saints v Dogs

RTB thanks for the coaching on tackling and team defence.... here's a tip. If we get the ball first we don't need those skills. It's a simple game. See ball. Get ball. See big sticks, kick between them.

Re: Match thread Saints v Dogs

Is this really happening? Not one Saint is worthy of a mention. The rabble bulldog players like Lobb, Naughton look like superstars. Something is wrong internally at our club.

Something great from Gather Round

I know the people that weren't there will roast me but ended up being an amazing day for my wife and I. Couldn't get a ticket and gee I was unlucky. We decided to just go to the food and wine festival at Norwood and watch on the big screen. My worst nightmare but my wife loved the idea. It was my bi...

Re: Max King 1 match suspension rough conduct

We used to have QC Hamill who won in the High Court, our guy made sure he had fresh water. Problem is Hamill went back to Carlton so they'll be fine come September ... on a serious note our tribunal record compared to big clubs is horrendous and there's nothing we can do about it but win the GF and ...

Re: Max King 1 match suspension rough conduct

I can't believe how bad our record is at the tribunal. For years I've been saying our lawyer is the guy out of The Castle.... I know he finally got a new photocopier but he's still useless !!!!! The vibe just doesn't work any more.

Re: Crouch out over 1 month - Knee

We're starting to have depth now. The first 5 games last year exposed some kids and our recruiting has been good. We can cover all these injuries now, the only one I'm worried about covering is Marshall until Hayes is back. Don't rush these injured players back and they'll be cherry ripe for the mos...

Spud would be proud by the crowd noise

Re: The need for speed in our midfield

We all have to remember that Paddy Dow was recruited for that reason, he has the speed and the inside players will be needed to feed him. In every position (apart from the ruck) we have depth now. It's a long season, the players that are currently underdone will play a role. Wilson, Henry, Bonner an...

A bit of help from regular game attendees pls

Hi All,

Just looking for a bit of advice from fellow Sainters. I'm coming over from SA for a footy trip with 6 others. One of the games is Saints v Roos at Marvel on 4th May. Do you think we should pre-book tickets or we'll get decent seats if we buy on the day ? Cheers

Re: Brayshaw - leave thread here as it affects the future of footy in general

To give some perspective Brayshaw retired because of his history of head knocks. Caminiti was unlucky because the guy he barely touched had a history. McCartin had a history and pretty much ran into a player and was concussed, do we blame Paddy ? I feel Maynard was lucky to get off for a game or two...

Re: I'm tired of it YOY

I get the underdog thing but I'm tired of it. We had so many injuries last year and still made the 8. The first team they said would drop was us. Do they know our list or do they go by history? I think our youngsters will make their own history...might be Collard, Wilson, Keeler with the group befor...

Special Cup

RTB's presser was brilliant. When he coached us years ago it was the most confident I'd been as a supporter. His reference to listening to Buckley's advice and recruiting and playing kids says to me he's still learning.. he knows how good Enright is so he will put his attention to the centre - forwa...
