Social Media handles of forumites

Don't know if anyone has posted this before but I was wondering if there has ever been a list of twitter/instagram handles of Saintsational forum members ? I Enjoy reading the forum when I can but with mobile apps on the phone I tend to use these more when getting around. I spend a fair bit of time ...

TAC Cup Players 2012

My left of centre recruiting method. No beep test, no vertical jump, no 3km time trial. No this method relies solely on photographing games of football and then editing all those pictures. I covered a fair bit of the TAC Cup this past season. Although concentrating on the job at hand and watching th...

My take

If we are ready to accept that team is rebuilding, which I believe it is then there are some really positive signs. Ledger will be a good player and again showed promise and progress today. Not afraid to put his head over the ball and has an appetite for the contest. Sippos is gaining more confidenc...

Hird, Buckley, Voss........Harvey?

I don't like Mick Malthouse all that much but would be happy if we were able to secure him as our senior coach. I believe he should be at the head of list. After Mick I feel like everyone else is second. There will be speculation, rumour and innuendo in the coming days and weeks about who is going t...

This game is a business

We can sit here and throw barbs at Ross Lyon but the fact is AFL Football is a big business. We dropped the ball on contract negotiations with Ross. Unlike players that come under a salary cap, coaches and football department staff can be offered 'market value' I watched the Freo press conference an...

Both the J. Ralph article and R. Connolly article have real merit. They are talking about different issues facing the club in the immediate future.

Garry Lyon wants Ross Lyon?

I have to question the motivation or rumour that the Melbourne FC coaching committee wants to offer Ross a five year deal. Garry Lyon is supposed to be heading up this committee is he not ? Well Garry has spent a good part of the season writing us off, consistently tipping against us and questioning...

2009 - Now ?

St Kilda 08,09,10 and now I believe Ross Lyon is a very good coach and has squeezed everything out of this group. He built a game plan around solid team defence, which requires a high level of discipline from every player on the ground. It relies on contested possession, lots of stoppages and a high...

Training

Low impact kicking and handball drills for most of the midfielders followed by 200 and 400 running exercises. Extra work for Peake probably as he was the sub on the weekend. Kosi had a long session with both ruck work and forward work. Leading, goal kicking while fatigued and quick ball movement wor...

Isn't fielding your own VFL side a more expensive option? Yes I believe it is. Im not sure St Kilda has expressed an interest in doing this. However should it be considered in the future we would most likely not undertake this move from a position of 2 million dollars debt. I only raise this as a po...

Debt Reduction

I see in an article on The Age website today that the Saints are considering a campaign to reduce their debt. With Melbourne, Richmond and Western Bulldogs all recently launching campaigns to reduce their debt, it seems our club also has the sense to realise the importance of proper financial manage...

Just watched it on the Saints you tube channel. Im so happy Lyon is our coach. He will reach third on our 'games coached' list this year possibly second. I for one hope he is at St Kilda long enough to reach the top of that list. Allan Jeans 332 Grant Thomas 123 Stan Alves 115 Ross Lyon 98

Zac looked better as the game went on. Hard to judge his performance, I felt like he was playing the role as though he were at St Kilda with his regular team mates around him.
