The root cause of the problem seems simple to me: Nettlefold, Watters and Pelchen traded away what remained of our best talent after Lyon left, and recruited rubbish in return. We have never fully recovered from that. Picking McCartin over Petracca also didn't help the situation. In recent years, t...

Looks like SunnyErnie and GT will be storming linton st Monday morning. As far as I'm concerned Ratts' career is over at the Saints. How the f*** can you pick a rookie who we only just signed and another new 18 year old (after what happened to Owens last week), and expect to win. Especially on a tr...

I'll tell you why, because Ratts has no f****** idea. That's why.

Extended bench, Higgins and Byrne might be dropped. Wood is safe, Sharman in? Lienert could come in If Lienert comes in before Sharman that will be the final nail for Ratten. Simple as that. Very dramatic. Hayes is basically in Sharman’s spot in the forward line at the moment, with the added ruck v...

I detest them. But regrettably they have a midfield I wish we had. They look sharp, fast and their handling is very good. Miles ahead of us. Based on last week’s showing we’re headed for bottom 4 When you look at all the other teams I can only see us having a chance against North and Richmond. On t...

I hope we win but I have got some serious doubts. If we lose but show improvement I'm ok with that. If we get smashed because we are playing the same way as last week ie. no game plan and just bombing into the forward line then all bets are off. If that is the case then I hope GT goes all in and cau...

If Sharman is not selected this week then I give up with Ratten.

Spoon I think we’ll seriously get to a point where we realise that given we made choices to trade early picks in recent years to get ready made players in that our genuine A grade youth talent is light on and certainly not midfield strong. It’s not all criticism - the club has done done good things...

The saddest thing is not many of us expect to win! This club needs to win back supporter trust. Far too often in important or marquee games they have seriously let themselves and their supporter base down. Ratten reading the riot act happened often last year so the team will lift their effort but g...

Don't think we are not in the 8, I know. "fantastic appointments" ? 1) Start of a new footy season. Same Rattshyte game plan, if in fact there even is a game plan, as all 2021 (2020 was an aberration with covid short quarters and the whole season should have an Asterix against it). . Bomb...

The reality is, any list build has to be a balance between draft and trade selections. We have scope for improvement with a number of young players aged 22 or younger (Clark, Higgins, Coffield, King, Byrnes, Connolly, Bytel, Sharman, Heath, Wanganeen-Milera, Owens, Winghager, Adama, and Allison. Th...

f****** hell

Most AFL players take recreational drugs like most 18-28 year olds do.

I just want to know when he plays again.

If you know give us a number

My understanding is round 5 at the earliest but most probably round 7.

I don't know anymore other than what I have already posted. Plus I am sure that you have heard the same rumour as well.

Keep Marshall Steele Gresham Sinclair Howard King Highmore Clark Coff Membry Milera Winhanger Paton Wilkie Hayes Sharman Heath The rest are expendable If you were going to strip it back like the above, I would look at trading Membrey but only if we could get an early second round pick for him.

Say what you like about GT but when he was at the Saints he built a professional footy team. He is too old to come back as coach but I would love for him to take over as president.

Shock horror Hannebery is sill being managed . Ryder comes back via VFL which is a sensible process. No one therefore off the injury list available for Senior selection then what changes do you make from Friday night? I'm hoping Sharman and Highmore come in and I would be dropping Kent and Owens.
