Also, his daughter is dating one D Shiel...

That might be a reaon for Shiel not to show interest at the Saints. What if they spilt? Will that cause problems if Shiel was enticed tot he club?
Possibly

Richo knocked back our initial offer, said he would stay with Port, who steaming along at full steam ahead, then someone or something got him - and I suppose it is just the common human narrative, you have one chance in life, so take it, and he did. He came to a team in desperate straits. We were b...

I don’t know enough about these players being a newbie (Post Lyon malaise) but I’m just wondering, would you think the goals of the match committee are a) win these last two games at all costs 2) give x,y,z players ‘a go’ before the season expires (maybe even give them performance targets) 3) tank?...

Newnes has had a dream run of selection and he is GARBAGE. I agree and had many doubts when others were saying he would be a leader at the club. Not eve please. I reckon they are giving him a chance to break the consecutive games played record. He is able to maintain his footy health but that alone...

Agree - stupid decision. Is Richo trying to destroy his confidence? If he is fit let the kid play out the season so we can see what he can do. But, but, But Richo is a master of player development (NOT!!!) Lets face it, throwing a few kids in and out is not development. Development requires seniors...

28 points up, then what happened next had nothing to do with coaches, gameplans, talent and development or anything a footy club does outside of game day. 28 points up and flying. [/quote] Richo 107 games. 37 wins.. 68 losses. Are you saying all 68 losses were just 'bad luck'? [/quote] Nup. Players ...

Lethers isn't giving Richo the sack for 2019 so get used to him folks. He has pretty much said he will be surrounded with a new team of assistants. That may be true but expect a lot less members All that could change quickly if the new coaching team don't show improvement though. Time will tell.

On field leadership????????.? The person who should be driving that is the head coach Five f****** years ago when Richo was appointed why didn't he rotate the captaincy? There is perhaps a lack of f****** leadership because the head coach and the f****** footy department let it get that way!!!!!!!!...

regardless of who we get, if he doesn't cure cancer, walk across water or at the very least win the rising star, brownlow and our B & F in his first year will be considered a spud on this site Not with every poster MadDog. Mad Ddog only if theres not a good burst of consecutive game form. Curre...

Total cleanout needed

Weve lost a lot of oppoertunity to be a club of desire by players. If Lynch is like Judd (we he left WCE to go to Caarrrlton) he will say Saints didnt want him why should I go there?

Big deal! Just means we give away more frees than our opponents. Agree, but why do we do this? Has been happening for years and I don’t accept it’s because umpires “cheat”. What is going wrong in the way we play and why can’t we correct it? Terrible disadvantage in Perth against the Eagles mostly a...

Only if overall player development has been good - which on the face of it, ours has not. Having said that, I will wait to see what the second half of the season brings before I make my final opinion of the coaching team. Don't want to go early. Remember Hawthorn and the Swans last year, and the op...

Lets not the facts stand in the way of the rubbish on this thread Geary left the ground with 16 minutes on the clock in the third quarter, he returned for about a minute but then went off completely with 13 on the clock. you can see all this on the replay Whilst he was off the ground in the 3rd WCE...

Reckon I'd prefer to see Coffield rather than Geary.......actually I've had enough of Savage - he never seems to even care where he kicks the ball. And while we're at it, I hope we stay with Logan Austin ahead of Nathan Brown. Savage needs to be there for the long kicks. The rest I reckon you are r...

Huge difference when the clearances go to our favour. Many of the bounces weren't that good and I reckon Natanui didn't get near some of these. Once good reason for keeping the bounce. Seriously still need work on around the ground clearances.

Billings 4 kicks and 2 tackles. Gresham 6 & 0. Effort from both was embarrassing. I thought Gresh tried hard all night... he bobbed up here and thefe I'm sure he was playing more as a mid fielder today. While stats aren't everything, mid fielders tend to get plenty and often rattle the scoreboa...

We are a bottom 3 team....and I don't see any real prospect of that changing any time soon. I do. I see Brisbane's next win or even draw putting them ahead of us on the ladder. I'm not being a smart ass here as the yare laden with elites or potential elite players and have a great on ground coach i...

Tony 74, if you are connected to the Club please pass on the message that we are sick and tired of being treated like morons by the Club. Hearing the President speak yesterday hurt more than the loss to Collingwood. If our Presidents message is accurate and he truly believes everything is on track ...

Not close at all. Extending a contract and then sacking the coach 7-8 games into the season... I just don’t see it happening I didn't see GT being sacked in 2006 after finals. But then again Butters was a mess (albeit we didn't know that at the time). I never underestimate when clubs take these dec...

A point in our season will come (hopefully last week) where the pressure of kicking will get to a tipping point. What I mean is it can’t get worse, and then there’s a chance that they’ll just start getting them. There’ll be no rhyme or reason to it, it’ll just happen. Clearly last week blokes just ...

So we are ALMOST winning something.

A kick in th arse is what they need to win. Really not the effort of a team previously aspiring to be a finalist.

I've been thinking about getting BJ back also. Even if he only has a few years left, we have a leadership black hole left by Rooey and Joey. The young players aren't ready to step up yet. You see the issues BJ is having at Essendon and I think, we need that. We need someone on field to hold the pla...

You do know that we were looking at Longmire but chose Ross Lyon. I keep wondering what may have happened if we'd taken Longmire. Hard to say, both are very good coaches. That choice didn't really matter at that time. Ross did alright but we didn't bleed in youth enough. I think I agree with that t...
