Re: Footy Fix: Ross Lyon is the AFL's most boring coach once again - and it's suffocating the Saints' season
Well, I happen to know for fact what Rattan’s marking of the List was, that it had improved and the strategy to further improve it But the marking was low The Board agreed including with the strategy - but replaced Brett regardless The strategy remains in place, focussed on youth and, if available, ...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024

There were too many players who did not contribute putting the pressure on those who did contribute (and Marshall battling on) Hence cohesion was missing And it is not our kids who went missing The stats can often be misleading but tonight t...
