Wowee

No doubt a proven player is the better option than the draft. The only thing safer about the draft is the difference in cash and it seems cash isn't a problem with this trade this year. As for parish being better well who cares. We couldn't get him unless we somehow got pick 4. Yes Plugger so long ...

Libs for me

Plugger I'm sorry I responded - you are always right! No one else is allowed an opinion, I completely understand that this is your forum to 'lord over' anyone who disagrees and yes at times I have been negative (its called opinions). I also apologise for having an opinion in suggesting I would have...

Hindsight can be a great teacher if you want to learn from it. You know how it goes. If we had known this, would we have done that? I can’t think of a more appropriate example than to ask that question about the Jake Carlisle trade. For me it’s a no brainer. We made a big, big mistake recruiting Ca...

Big picture people - I just thought there defensive structures and movement out of defence was very good. I also thought which many do, that Beveridge would have been a great acquisition for us. Plugger66 you never change do you? I don't change in that I think these are practice matches and you are...

Did you watch the Bulldogs game last night - gees they are a well drilled side now - Hawthorn esq. Oh to think how Beveridge would have enhanced the Saints coaching team. Hindsight is just that, but after watching some of the other 2015 draftees running around in the NAB, Gresham had better make a ...

For those interested, shots on the Saints FB of DMAC, Bailey Rice and Freeman all training with the main group. They we taken early in 2015. Correct. Quite a few missing out there today. Thanks Tony. Pictures were on BF saying they were from tid a y. Sorry to lead anybody astray No Nathan, Dmac, Bi...

Low grade. 2 weeks. Wont play v Lions. Should be fine for Nab 3. http://www.saints.com.au/news/2016-02-23/injury-update-mccartin-hamstring Doubt he'll play NAB. Maybe round 1 but could even give him another couple of weeks. No point taking risks. When you see "expect x weeks" that's alway...

Where oh where does it say Bruce is 'putting off talks'.? Last week it was announced by the Saints that saints and Bruce's management had started negotiations on re newing his contract. This week Bruce when asked about his contract situation said it was with the club and his management and there wa...

And with the Ross Lyon selection policy both Newnes and Ross spent a hell of a lot of time at Sandy. While that was pretty #### frustrating for them and a lot of us, perhaps in the long run a solid apprenticeship has helped them. Well, for whatever reason --- i :D t is good news now Harsh on RL for...

Xavs stars but not good enough to stop the mighty monds beating them twice in GF's.

In a worst case scenario, if Josh wasto leave at the end of the year, what would we get for him? Not a FA so they'd have to trade. Depends how he plays this year but potentially a 1st round pick. I cant believe he would leave. We helped turn his career around and we have plenty of $ in our cap and ...

No Damen a St Pauls Bentleigh boy. There was another Lappin who played seconds for us. Just cant remember the name.

The Trial game was what is was. To go back to my earlier "contribution", from the "A" Side, we were missing Fisher, Roberton, Carlisle, Riewoldt, Armitage, Montagna, Mc Cartin, Freeman, Gilbert, Steven and Longer (some totally, some from very early in the game and others from in...

Shane Crawford's brother Justin played a few gams then dissapeared totally.

Why its brothers? The Rugolo brother...

Wins matter a little of course. If we didn't win a game this year that would be a very bad thing but what matters more is the B&F count. If Rooy, Fisher, Joey and Dempster are still in the top 8 positions that means we are relying on them much to much and it also means when they retire we wont i...

So when does that stop? And I think we may have got pretty much everyone we got even if we won 2 or 3 more games last year.

kosifantutti wrote:Not sure, but we won every game when the opposition scored less than us.

What about when they kicked more goals then us?

. A good structure will set up defensive measures to cover the rebound so they can risk going forward. I doubt we won many if any games under RL with 60 points but I could be wrong. .

The trouble we will have this season, as we had last season, will be our midfield can't hurt the opposition by hand or foot, nor break lines and get involved in goal scoring enough. Ross had a good go yesterday, but he is not a damaging mid. I thought our setups at the centre bounces was pretty poo...
