I think takeaway, nostalgicsaint and Yorkeys would be perfect as assistants to Lyon. The perfect Yes men Watch the football on Sunday smartarses and then we'll chat Must have missed the part where I said. "Not what i would have done" Doesn't mean I can't spend some time understanding what...

I just watched channel 9 news sports report and they showed footage of Saints training session Looked look the local suburban footy club warm up. Zero intensity. Zero commitment to excellence Just want to check. Is the anti Ross narrative from you that 1. He doesn't drive standards 2. He smothers p...

Also, I'm happy to talk to you now captain birds eye.

I don't think Ross should be sacked, but I think he should be deservedly under pressure. Not for his job, but for high performance. I do get the feeling he gets a free pass to do what he wants, with no consequence. There's a bit of contradiction in there. Not sure what the free pass is for? We need...

Touting 28 inside 50s in the first half and 15 in the first quarter as a positive is a bit silly with how poor the looks are constantly And Pou viewed as a mid long term... Is this trying to fit a round peg into a square hole a bit or do others here view him as a midfield prospect in the future? No...

I can see the logic with the selection of the ins, a common denominator, they all bring some experience, not champions, but getting the balance right with youth and experience. Agree. Not necessarily what I personally would have done but the changes make sense and we don't have the complete picture...

Owens over the past 3 weeks has attended 8 center bounces for 1 center clearance It sounds like you are arguing the point well that Owens hasn’t succeeded as a mid. The only problem with your stats are that he wasn't actually in the centre as a mid. He was the ruckman Easy to misrepresent isn’t it?...

Nice stat for those who think we haven't been doing enough to develop our draftees. The most matches played from draftees in the past three years has West Coast on top with 199 games, from St Kilda (186), Hawthorn (177), North Melbourne (168) and Adelaide (122). Where are you getting these figures ...

Assuming all in form.

Webster---Howard---Wilkie

Sinclair---Battle------W-Milera

------------Marshall
Hill--------Crouch-------Wood
------------Steele
------------Windhager

Wilson---King------Butler

Owens---Caminiti ---Higgins

Henry---Dow---Stocker ---Clark

----------------Garcia

Lots of talk lately re our woes is it coaching ? Lack of talent? (probably bit of both is the beige reality) that said I thought N Buckley said it nicely this week on Fox when asked what the results might be if Fly swapped with Lyon…his thoughts were….Lyon would go considerably better with Pies and...

So in a side which struggles for potency up forward... Scollop would like us to take the forward who just kicked over a third of our score and move him to the midfield because he wins contested footy, which incidently is a stat we have won the last 3 weeks in a row. Owens over the past 3 weeks has a...

Webster, Howard, Wilkie Sinclair, Battle, Milera Marshall, Steele, Crouch, Windhager Wood, Hill Wilson, Hammer, Henry Higgins, King, Owens Dow, Stocker, Clark, Ross Sub: Garcia In: Higgins, Crouch, Stocker, Clark, Ross, Garcia Out: Collard, Jones, Paton, Sharman, Bonner, Pou Bonner probably survive...

Owens is developing well in the exact position he should play. As a forward who can pinch hit in the ruck/on ball. Last year both him and Pou delivered better footy as we didn't have to push as many players up to the contest as we are now to cover for our midfield weakness. That and they were undere...

Silver lining. We should get a soft draw again next year

I don't think anyone is thrilled with where we're at this season. That said the overreaction is extreme. Reality is we're a middle or the road, young side in a competition where if you're off your game by 10% any side can beat any other. Some early season bad luck has led to a lack of confidence. Wa...

I think this place is going to be fun tomorrow night C’mon mods. You’ve been working too hard. Take the week end off I'm thinking i should avoid saintsational tomorrow night and check the forum on hangover day, err, Sunday. :lol: :lol: Hang around Bob gonna be a hoot After we win - watch all the Ly...

Supporters like this are imo part of the problem. Good clubs don't lynch their own at the first speedbump in a process. Supporters who think so poorly of our club and so highly of others- piss off and 'support' them. I'd happily buy another membership to cover for your loss but I doubt they'd be lo...
