Tony74, Hi, are you able to say what Hayes issues were yesterday; and Ross seemed fully "had enough of these players", is there serious tension in the rooms now with so many playing poorly? Cheers, Y. Tony74 is a training watchers, aka fan. Gets across a bit more info than the average fan...

Interesting stat posted on Saints Uncensored King 149 goals in 77 games. Hawkins 90. Curnow 124. Brown 87 King 155 contested marks Hawkins 106 Curnow 120 Brown 115 🤫🤫🤫 What about his stats for work with ball not in hand. Would be interested to see his stats for tackles and pressure and defensive ac...

The injuries haven't helped combined with a very young and inexperienced team.

It's a rebuild and patience will be needed.

End of last year we were on the rise and a destination club. 9 rounds in and that's changed to on the slide and on the nose. There are supporters who knew well enough not to believe we were on the rise and a destination club as a result of the 2023. My Nearly every neutral and pundit in the AFL wor...

And for what it's worth, we have a midfielder, albeit a champion, coaching the forward line and a midfield coach with no experience. Is this the norm among the top teams? Yes men perhaps? Yesmen tend to keep their jobs at St Kilda Let’s hope there’s someone who can challenge Ross during the week an...

Says who???

We had a lot of senior players playing yesterday

Which ones didn't perform in your view?

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...

I remember well the time around the club when Lyon left years back- it was common knowledge that he wasn't interested in rebuilding teams. The Lyon I used to notice at training back then looks and sounds a lot different than the one I've seen at training now. Back then he was clearly driven and who...

Not that this will console anyone, however I said from the outset of RLs appointment that he doesn't have the "magic wand", I kept asking the question, "what magic trick does he have that no other coach in the history of the game has possessed"? I tried to explain that it wasn't ...

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...

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: ...
