Re: Latest scuttle butt…
If this bloke on Big Farty is such a reliable source, then why is he saying that Battle is in poor form? Battle has been one of our most consistent players so far this year so that’s BS. I’m prepared to believe that he’s been offered a contract and is holding out for more. And that his management is...

Re: Latest scuttle butt…
I very much doubt that the club has drawn a hard line in the sand at this early stage. Battle’s management has put to the club an amount for which he would stay, and at this stage it’s too much. If Hawthorn or anyone else is prepared to offer an insane amount, well so be it. I’d be surprised if they...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Weagles Round 12 2024
Mason Wood looks a more effective full forward than King or Caminiti.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Weagles Round 12 2024
Windhager on Reid. Undoubtedly the greatest coaching move in the history of AFL. Only Ross Lyon would have come up with it. Nice that even a gutless squib like you can acknowledge it Must burn hey???

Re: Pendelbury on Hayes
By 1984-85 Hayes had mastered his role like few mids before, during or after his career. I remember seeing him play live in early 1986 and he was so confident and moving so well that I couldn’t take my eyes off him. (Yes, I would have turned for him.). And then he did his ACL and that was the end o...

Re: The Game Plan
The game plan is ok IMO. Boring to watch, but proven to be effective over many years. We’ve struggled this year with having the right players on the ground to deliver it. It’s been a combination of injuries, poor selection choices, and some players losing a bit of form. Lyon is great at coaching his...

Re: Deck chairs on the titanic
Why do we think average player older than 28 are worth anything I’ve no idea. The only players we have that would be worth much in a trade are Marshall, Wilkie, NWM, King, maybe Sinclair and Steele (but they’re getting on) and then we’re looking at young guys like Wilson and Philippou.Battle would ...

Re: Leadership group
In this thread, there seem to be a lot of things blamed on our leadership group that are actually the responsibility of our coaching staff.
Eg, it’s hardly the fault of Steele, Wilkie or Marshall that our forward line is currently a complete mess.

Re: Which ex saints would you draft?
Riewoldt, Gehrig, Harves, Lenny
We could trade Max.
Dal, Kosi (2005 form) , Winmar, Hamill unlucky.
Lockett was an amazing player but the game has moved on.

Re: The guys that sing when we get goals
It sounds like a wonderful idea. Certainly better than having a drink every time we score a goal, which could leave one feeling a little thirsty.

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
So Joey seems basically to be saying that our defence and running half backs are pretty good and our midfield moves the ball forward ok, but our forward line is pretty crap. Especially in the absence of quality smalls like Higgins, Butler and Gresham. I agree with all that, but wasn’t that pretty cl...

Re: Team Saints V Melbourne
WTF with Bonner keeping his spot and Byrnes coming back?! Sharman at least looks like he will only be an emergency.
Perhaps Byrnes is meant to run with Langdon, although I thought RTB didn’t like doing that sort of thing.
