I watched that presser He said that he believed the list had under achieved and was capable of more Questions over standards was what he alluded to Yea but like all sneaky snake oil salesman he gave him self a bet each way by saying we might have to go backwards to go forward. Then connect the dots...

That’s not what Basset thinks, Beg to differ. Listen to the press conference held by Bassett to announce Ross had been signed as coach. Also Read his letter to members from a few weeks ago. Ross was given a mandate to rebuild. It's just been sold to us as a restumping, or rewiring, or restoration o...

But the thing is... you have to coach that out of him. Lift your game Max or you're playing VFL son A good coach will get the best out of the talent he has. Either you motivate him and get him to perform or ship him off Let's see what the magician can do with that wand I will incredibly surprised i...

Was always going to be the case 2nd game after a long lay off...I'm guessing it was strsteg to sub him off as he will need a block of games to build his conditioning.

Plugger would’ve taken that mark in the last 20 secs And kicked truly But King fumbled it as he fumbled and double grabbed at a few other non marks today My old girl commented on his body language before the first siren....and ... SHE DOESN'T EVEN READ SAINTSATIONAL Yep He just has a deplorable att...

Interesting Vortex that King should be added, why not Webster? Apparently he was going to be making everyone in the opposition's F50 look over their shoulder after his courageous practice match act. We need quality mids with pace and good disposal. Plugger would struggle with how we kick the ball i...

I'd add King into the debate about who should have been subbed off.

Ross needs to make a statement soon.

Not only meeting expectations for a 4DP

But just not working hard enough without ball in hand

Which is a bloody lot

King out
Sharman in

one of the youngest lists in the comp. Lyon was given a mandate to rebuild the list He's only 31 games in to that rebuild Expectation of being better than a top 4 side is what is causing all of the angst. Possibly will be bottom 4 until about 2026. We are playing the kids which is what many supporte...

Put your hands up if you have ever said "play the kids" or you call for certain kids to be played every week, for example put your hands up if you have called for Arie or Collard to be played in the last few weeks, put your hands up if you have called for Hastie or Garcia to be played in t...

said in the lead up to this game not to expect too much from Hayes in his second game back from a long lay off, sports scientists would have planned to manage his time in his second game and subsequent games after that. He needs to build a block of games to get the conditioning back.

Are you implying that junior talent watchers should be able to predict what that player will become once they enter the AFL system? Once they're drafted, it is up to the clubs to develop them. Sheehan, and others like him, simply talk about the player they've observed. Not they player they will end...

Funny it's not on the club website isn't it lol , but those on here who were involved with keep the Saints at Moorabbin like Bruce Eva , Scott Goodings etc I'm sure would be able to shine more light on it then I can .But to repeat myself and I don't care the reason but WE SHOULD NEVER CHANGE OUR NA...

Be mindfull of the fact that the marketeers who write the draft bios also write the blurbs for wine labels. Without being disrespectful, I'd trust Kevin Sheehan's words over yours anyday. Would have forgotten more about junior talent than all of us on this site would know. Mattaes Phillipou State: ...

Biggest load of s*** ever

Made up myth

Like tall players take longer to develop

AFL is riddled with myths.

I'm going to start a new one...King is having 6th year blues.

OK I'm being mischievous

Happy Friday

Id hate to be your wife.

I said to my wife once that I thought that she was cheeky but very approachable...I stole that line from a wine label but she thought I was clever and witty.

Sometimes wine labels can give you good feedback is the moral of the story.

He’s in the mould of Bont / Fyfe / Tom Green. Why? What have you seen from his 30 games so far that allows the comparison? He’s that big bodied midfielder that kicks goals. It was why he was drafted. Are you for real xD ? Or taking the piss? Do you not watch the draft? Pou was rated as a similar pl...

Why?

Should the club offer to pay Melbourne some more of his salary?

Bonner would be my guess for a wing role

Henry back is all I wanted to hear.

In the bi laws of our club you need 75% of members to agree too any name change hmmm I must of missed that vote Those Bi laws were written long before the AFL corporatised, those by laws are nothing more than tokeniistic and ceremonial and these are not legally binding. Amazing how many members thi...

Or you could just not be Grandpa Mike. You know Grandpa Mike. Every family reunion everybody has to cater to his absurd hate of the colour red. No rhyme or reason to it… that’s just his thing. So the whole family goes to the effort of making sure that his plates, cups etc don’t have any red on them...

Cannot believe that some want Bonner out. Yes he misses with his kicks a couple of times, but when it comes off it is elite. His yearly stats shows he is averaging 4 score involvements and 1.3 score launches per game both above average. People say he does not defend enough, that is not his role giv...
