I have been around more than 10 years, but I am far from a regular poster these days

I have no issue with losing Pick 5 for Carlisle straight up. 23, mountain of a man we have recruited well and with McCartin Goddard Carlisle, twighlight Roo and Membrey for development/depth we are stacked in the hardest positions to find takent in the league. I would love another top mid, but from...

He will get a lot of love when they run through the review tape. You could see he was undoubtedly getting crunched before it even happened. very selfless

The most impressive thing about Paddy is the intelligent head on his young shoulders. He gets it.

Very high hopes for the kid

For me we are really in actual year one of the process, last season was the final part of weeding out old heads and players not up to it and brining in talent. For the fact that our performance has far surpassed expectations this season while Paddy Mccartin and Hugh Goddard haven't played more than ...

I can't fathom why there is a sub rule - it is just bizarre. Why would you have 21 players being rotated like crazy through a game while one bloke sits there watching people work their butt off only to come in and play a quarter. Just a dull and stupid concespt and IMO hurts the players used there -...

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we get Shane via the Ben deal which also landed us the picks which we used on Dunstan and Acres? Where are the idiots in the media who critised the club for the trade now!?! can confirm for sure that pick got us Dunstan and Savage, not sure about Acers. A great tr...

just adding a plus 1, we got comprehensively screwed yesterday

zthe beauty of a young side is it gives a chance to another young guy to show his talents we know Jack is a beauty and can take the appropriate level of caution in his development. Let's do the right thing by the kid and watch him prosper when he is ready

What has he done to deserve a contract extension? Has won 9 games out of 33, hardly something to hang your hat on. Not saying he is a bad coach. He looks like he is exactly what we currently need, has a cool head, and can relate to the developing list. He has another year to go. Lets see this year ...

I think he deserves an extension, but lets not lock a coach in for 5 years right now - the minute expectations change the coach is the scapegoat. As a club in debt, the last thing we need is to afford a coach payout if it goes wrong

The rules regarding rookies is a joke, I can understand having a rolling inactive list for players not available for selection, but with Sinclair in our best 22 and on the rookie list, some guys playing 2s who will never get a senior game are essentially stunting jack's development. I think it is so...

Jack's a beauty, stoked we have him

Old member, I'll admit I've posted here about 3 times in four years, still love the saints as much as ever, but have found myself away from the boards for the larger part. I know I have seen topics on here recently, and I'm sure my old friend plugger 66 will be the first to reply with a good explana...

for me it's Armo he has really taken on a leadership role and is a real example for the kids. I am in awe of his growth as a player and leader

What effect does that have on a team going forward?

I'd say minimal given we are young and have a full week from the completion of the game to recover

so the Lions having to play cold night games in Melbourne is a disgrace as well?

I said at the time he was no good and I remember people really disliking said opinion. Waste of time even though I feel for him in what he's been through

I played junior footy with his brother, jack would train with us, run our on game day and always be around us. Always loved his footy and great to see him in our colours. Off to a very nice start to his career

Good to see I haven't been missed

I reckon I've been on here twice since 2008, can't wait for another season of misery, but hello to all
