Re: Webster appalling

I literally have no respect for his intent or his intelligence. This will be his final year in St Kilda colours. No tears from me. Wow. You are the type of Saint Kilda supporter I’d rather disassociate myself with. Jimmy has been a stalwart ..fair and selfless..an honest slogger and to have a suppo...

Re: Who will win and why Gws vs SAINTS

The difference will be our pressure. Last game we brought the heat, they over handballed or long bombed a kick and we got the turnover. Members back is massive for our structure, also chito was killing it before getting subbed out . We should expect to win but if we allow them to execute their skill...

Saints by a couple. Lyon is a meticulous preparer. Ad. A bit of GWS Intel from Lenny, Enright finals experience, I reckon we will be very well prepared.

Re: Shafted but also not

According to an article in the Roar, if all teams played each other just the once ( as they should for fairness), we would have finished 5th. Carlton would have been 9th.

Re: How's Paddy?

Paddy is a human being trying to do what he wants to do in life. Everyone knows his journey so if sympathy and perhaps general concern about his welfare isn't your go, then I'm sure basic respect as a middle-ground sentiment shouldn't be that hard to reach... It's not so much about respect but for ...

Re: Does Hayes get another year .

Think this may maybe our year to trade someone of value to get something of value. Not sure who but we have a glut of half backs so perhaps a Coff, or JB. Trouble is boths value would be low ATM. Saints are in the market for a ruckman, so that suggests Campbell and Hayes have a question mark on them...

Re: Pies are well ...beatable .

In the first QTR, I was impressed with their leg speed. Made me think RTB, might roll the dice with Peris next week. Peris is way off the pace. Looks average at VFL level. I agree 100%. But RTB has talked him up a few times now and given his limitations I, wondered why. So my conspiracy theory is h...

Re: Changes Rnd 3

Assuming Bytel is fit, it would be a concern for his career if he isn't seen as a logical replacement for Steele as an inside mid.
Would like to see if he can make the grade.

Excellent inside work, beautiful hands. I still noticed on a few occasions he was happy to jog rather than sprint to do something defensively. If he can satisfy RTB with his spread and defensive effort, he could be an important cog in the midfield. I keep coming back to, who does he replace as an in...

No disrespect intended at all but this seems almost like an oxymoron.
It does a bit. But it's quicker than saying he played well ran to go spots, got plenty of it, but his career will stop because when he disposed of it, he coughs it or helicopter bombs it

Re: Match SIM squad & Match Thread v Melbourne 24/02/23

Hard to take too much from the result. Some were going at 3/4 pace, probably under instruction to limit injury. Zero pressure in first few qtrs. No forward line, lots of positional experimenting . No real surprises with the senior players, they just do what they have done. I spent more time looking ...

Re: Lockett 🆚 Dunstall

Hands down plugger by some margin. I think what gets forgotten is that back in the 80's, only two or 3 games were televised each week, and as the Saints were not a top team, we weren't televised as much. Most non Saints fans just didn't get to see as much of Pluggers games in the Moorabbin days.
