I tend to agree that we just don't seem to be showing any passion for the game at all, when someone kicks a goal it's like it is a relief for the players, our captain kicks a goal and looks like his mother died, Max King kicks a goal and waves his finger like the Queen and with the same grimace on ...

Today is my birthday. All the Saints gave me was some junk time goals. So depressing. 5. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera. Far from perfect , but our best ball user. At age 21, seems to be our most poised, mature player. 4. Jack Steele. Our best midfielder ( yes I know that equates to being the best ice hoc...

One of the issues with our leadership group is their individual form. Steele - tries hard but is a shadow of his AA self Wilkie - tries hard but down on last year Sinclair - down on last year Ross - almost gone Marshall - great player but has major holes in his game that can be exposed Maybe they'r...

Players should be enjoying themselves, feeling well prepared or confident and onfield player leadership give the appearance of committed performance. It looks like our leadership group seem to principally lead by example only, and coaches who work from the bench give the impression they are 100% inv...

The way it looks - a team that loses by 99 points in their next game beats a team that played finals the previous year. Please, Please beat the Weegirls.

Doesn't look happy to me

I don't think he as enough confidence that he will see finals again.

I gave up on finals ages ago. I have now given up on hoping for a performance that is worth watching.

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 c...

... and Billings dropped by Dees

All he is saying is that our good performance last year (which surprised everyone, noting the year of experimentation and the injuries we had particularly early) resulted in the bar being set too high for this year. He is under the pump because he isn't living up to last year when in reality with o...

Better viewing more comfortable and atmosphere is better

30 000 at the G is not great

Could make good money with bigger crowds when playing the well supported teams but they would drown us out on our home games though.

I get where you're coming from Moods. It wasn't an absolute shocker of a kick, but how many overhead marks does Hill take per game? That's not his strength is it? Anyhow... it's one incident. There are dozens of errors we can find in each game... even from some of our better players. I agree that H...

Why would Hill expect a poor kick at that short distance from the goal?

Stop talking s*** this ain’t happening, it’s not the coaches it’s the players and Ross and the club have a plan, if u care to listen to the club of bother to go to training and ask coaches questions you would know where we are Rubbish, the coaches have had 2 preseasons with the majority of the list...

More shite in the RTB presser. https://www.afl.com.au/video/1133254/full-post-match-r10-saints?videoId=1133254&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1716037077001 Yeah, more mumbo jumbo, if he was genuine he would sincerely apologise to all the supporters and sponsors etc for his stuff ups....

Great effort from Mattaes late in the game and unlucky not to have been paid that mark...but game was all but lost by then. He had 2 possessions up until that stage Out of Cooper Sharman and Mattaes Phillipou...who would you say has better form? Who has better touch? Obviously it's Cooper. Why take...

Just terrible. It's up to Ross Lyon to give us something while he rebuilds the team but he is failing dismally. I am appalled.

A bit disappointing so far - fumbling and poor kicking etc

Five year sentence handed down today

I suppose you are talking about the one-trick pony who has gone forward to kick a goal recently

Clearly setting up for a year or two.

Well. we have drafted kids again this year so I guess it depends on how long it'll take for our list to be competitive. If the Jacob Weitering move is correct we must be getting closer.

Laying some bait to demonstrate to player managers that St Kilda means business?

I'd rather not make the 8 than stumble in and lose a final. By god, I know we're nowhere near good enough to go all the way yet but surely it'll take years for our kids to build their skills, 'experience' and bodies and we fill the gaps with the A and B graders needed to beat the top teams, and I c...

Good thread and some good points made. I think the body language of players and staff is currently appalling. Take a look at the Hawthorn players who were thoroughly enjoying themselves and doing a lot of things right whereas our players often looked like they not fully switched on, fumbling and mak...
