Don’t get me wrong, I want the Saints to win every time we run out.....however.... The problem we face is that if we win and North and Freo lose (vs Melb and Port respectively), we’ll finish 12th which moves us into the middle band of teams for next year’s fixtures. I wouldn’t mind a nice easy run n...

Boys looked like they were hanging out for a few weeks in Bali. Billings even let it slip on this weeks podcast, that he was “looking forward to the end of the year” before Gears picked him up on it.

Blues looked eager to perform for their new coach and get a real positive vibe going into 2020

Blues fans will be up and about with Teague being appointed this week. They'll fancy their chances.

I reckon 43,000 if the weather holds up (which it looks like it should).

Would Harves be interested in the Director of Coaching role, working with Ratten?? Or the other way around??

I don’t think our objections and disgust about Geelong and Scarlett will have any value in Jacks scheme of thinking. Geography, family, new club, new start, playing with legends like Selwood, Ablett, Danger, Duncan and co. will. Maybe not, but Jack's contracted, so it's not only his decision here. ...

5. Clark
4. Savage
3. Steven
2. Hannebery
1. Dunstan

Long was stiff, great to see him involved for longer periods today and affect more contests....

He’s in a familiar spot.

The only time Freo were in the contest today was when Mundy, Fyfe and Sandi had their hands on the footy. Cupboard looked pretty bare after that. Those guys are closer to the end than the start, he’ll bail soon enough and Freo will be irrelevant for another decade.

Favorite outcome??

Jack Steven & 2020 2nd Round pick for Constable & Geel 2020 1st Round pick
B. Hill for Acres with pick swaps
2020 1st Round Pick for B. King
Tomlinson F.A
Cognilio F.A
Ruck Depth F.A or salary dump (Goldstein/Ryder/Jacobs)

Clark is very stiff to miss this squad, I'd have him over a fair few of the small defenders or mids ( I mean, Smith from the Dogs, and Fritsch from the Dees, are they serious??) These are popularity contests, and unfotunately, if you're at the Saints, you get forgotten a bit for these sort of things...

I'm not sure what the deal is with our supplementary picks (Rowe, Marsh & Mayo)??? I'd only keep Marsh at this stage, not sure Mayo is good enough and Rowe was only ever here for 1 year. Longer, Pierce, Armo, White, Rice will not be on our list in 2020. Jack Steven will get traded. Newnes would ...

Stephen Hill isn’t pushing anyone out of our back 6. Imagine this place when the 2020 Round 1 team is announced and S. Hill is on a half back flank and Coffield is at Sandy?

Eye awareness......

It’s more an indictment on Richardson for be8ng so blinkered into black balling any trade There is NO WAY KNOWN the club could have traded our best player, with 2 years to run on a very lucrative contract, at the end of last season after the year we had. We would have grabbed our pitchforks and tor...

How does Ratten possibly stay on if he misses out of the top job?? Especially considering how public he has been is his want for the position.

My take is much more like St Sandy saw things.

Compare this interview to Scott Watters' interview that came out last week and decide who was better for our club?? There's a guy who's deluded, and left our club in a shambles....

Out: McKenzie, Langlands, Parker, Hind

In: Webster, Steven, Newnes, Acres

Most infuriating thing all night was the big grin on McKenzie’s face as he’s shaking hands after the game - caught it in the background before they interviewed Tex.

Bloke should be in tears after the shift he’s just put in. His 3 year deal is nothing more than stockpiling players for Sandy....

The state leagues have been mined of nearly all of their talent. Between a shallow national draft last year, and the changed rules with injury replacements and the mid year draft, there's not too many diamonds in the rough left.

We just gave Darragh Joyce 2 years, surely that’s not too many for Spook??

Perhaps the cash is the issue??

I've liked what they've done on the Podcast....until this episode. A lot of Saints bashing.....questioning from Jon Ralph and whoever the other muppet is just tee'd him up to have a crack. As SaintPav said - everything was someone else's fault. The word "culture" get said about 10000 times...

Especially seeing as our first rounder is gonna be Pick 10.....

Congrats Luke for getting to 100 games. You are playing the best footy of your career. But.....you are not terribly convincing when the questions about your contract came up: https://www.saints.com.au/video/2019-07-30/dunstan-on-100-games After seeing this I'm not 100% sure Luke will be with us next...

I reckon their list is ripe for the picking this off-season too.

Brad Crouch anyone???

5. Ross 4. Bruce 3. Dunstan 2. Long 1. Sinclair Gresh got plenty of the ball, loved his clearance work, but these up and under chip kicks have got to go. Marshall was good in patches, but I reckon our expectations have skyrocketed for him, which is a good thing. Gawn kepr the Dees in the game in the...

3. Team selection- where Newnes keeps getting picked, while Mr “close” Hanneberry can’t even make it to VFL. And Parker gets dropped. Newnes did a job on Johanniessen last week and did it superbly. Was never going to be dropped this week. Parker was deservedly dropped 2 weeks ago - and didn't play ...
