Finey has really gone off the boil recently. Have you listened to some of his segments recently? "Initially Speaking"...jeez give me a spell. Positively dangerous to listen to whilst driving as can induce deep sleep.

Anyone know what has happened to Tom Simpkin. Showed real promise last year, and he's not on the injury list.

Whats the goss?

Yes we will improve but not at the rate of the up and coming group who have been building for a couple of year (N. Melbourne, bummers, Richmond). The true test is look at the teams below us on last years ladder and see who could overtake us, two I've mentioned already, plus Carlton. Now look who we ...

I might wait until dempster is traded then buy mine off one of you blokes for 50c.

FEVOLA!!!!

(god help us)

Good to see the club being active in trying to improve the membership system. As a result of the feedback the received, in 2012, the Club is committed to: - Offering an affordable junior membership product; - Offering a non-attendance membership product; and - Providing a one-stop, in-house Members...

As an aside, isn't NDS an established media performer!

I thought some of his honesty and insight was refreshing, when you get so many AFL players who regurgitate the club line or can barely string three words together.

Future media pundit I reckon.

Yeah definitely better than 2005 when he was AA ruck rover. Hate Mike Sheahan. Never any substance in his opinion, just jumps on what's hot right now. Wonder if he will state he has family links with the Ball family. I've stopped watching On the Couch 'cause I can't stand listening to that pr**k an...

Why cant we judge recruiting in hindsight....isnt that the only way to judge it.... You certainly can (and frequently do) but it's pretty meaningless simply because we can't change it. Give us the top forty in order for the next draft, then in five years you can hang your hat on it, and probably la...

We should rename this the archery thread.


There are plenty of long bows being drawn...

I brought one Essendon supporter, two yanks and two people from Hong Kong, so the number Saints supporters was 22,995.

What's happened to Rhys? Tall, pacy, showed promise, now absent. Is he injured?

Wrong ex-player. Frawley's our man.

I've realised why I don't post so much on here anymore. The personal attacks that go on when anybody contributes an opinion that criticises a player, the coach or the club is absolute bulls***. The whole purpose of this forum is to vent frustrations, so let people speak! The fact they still support ...

I went on the Bailey's ladder predictor on the aflwebsite, and I had us finishing 8th, then ending up playing the filth in the GF again.

Place ur bets!!

Geez, Blake's somersault could have ended poorly too. Thank god all three are OK.

Tough game footy.

As a realist, something like this might happen, even if it isn't Goddard.

The important thing is learning from the Ball debacle and LETS MAKE SURE WE GET SOMETHING IN RETURN!!

Never mind Goddard to CHB, we should focus on getting Gilbert to GWS.

Pain is not something you have to get used to being a saints fan, you're born in pain. the last 2 years have just been a holiday from the pain, that's all.

I think he needs to change his hair. He looks like a poster boy for the Hitler youth at the moment, and I don't like the association with the losing culture of the Nazis.

Yes, regularly turning over coaches has been SOOOO successful in the past for St Kilda. Ross needs to be given 10 years so he at least gets a chance to field a team that he has developed from scratch. Well, I wish he F***ing would develop his players from scratch!!! I don't think there's too many i...

Yes we will. Playing into October and the late commencement of pre-season training is going to kill our first half of the season, but the second will be much better. We have a (mostly) ordinary list,so our gameplan relies on pressure and intensity, so if you're not fit, you can be made to look prett...
