Teflon, agree with you about McPharlin. I have posted elsewhere that I cannot belive the Squawks let him go. But with regards Freo can only go by what I have seen - and as the great Steven J Peake says, I cannot deal with clairvoyancy. Have not seen Freo 'turn up' often enough in Melbourne, nor have...

I used us as an example to draw attention to the difficulties that new coaches with a very inflexible game plan have when they begin with a new group of players. Regarding us, well I think we have developed a culture over the past twenty years of being exteremely competitive. What did Ross have to w...

Fev is not a pro.
Fev is not a cancer.
Fev is not the answer.
Pure and simple.
Time to back the kids in.

No, he couldn't. And I suspect that it iis going to be tough going for Freo for a season and a half as it was for us. The question is - when the worm turns for them - as it did for us - will Sandilands still be up to the task after all the injuries he's had? Will Pavlich still be as good in 18 month...

Very happy with this. With respect to the fact that I may be 'going early' it is a far better coaching team than last year already in my opinion - although Watters is still to prove himself, of course.
Would love to see Ayres involved in some role.

Yes and no. The reason it went to a replay is the same reason that Geelong luckily got over us in 2009. They played all over us early, and due to luck, grand final nerves, relative inexperience, the door was left open for us, and like any good team, we opened that door. a bounce the other way or int...

Having spent a night on the booze with Robbie about thirteen years ago with his family after watching an interstate game at Moorabbin in the Social Club, I think it is tragic that he's still drinking. In a way the fact that he is still energetic enough to get around the great state of Victoria is te...

Also remember having to play at Geelong - which is a Clayton's interstate venue - every year for a long time too, so you could add that to the list for sure.

Although I'll be really upset with Dawson if he leaves, because I believe he will make a very good second tall defender - he's not a full back - it is a bit disapointing to read some of the comments being made about him on a supporters' forum. He is second only to Raph in terms of copping it from hi...

Still can't believe the Squawks let McPharlin go.

I agree with Plugger that Dawson rarely got a bag kicked on him, but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we have been a top side since he crossed over. Remember when he beat Buddy Franklin in Launceston? He can do a good job when the opportunity is there, but i think he is going to ge...

Dawson is the new O'Brien. O'Brien was forced to leave Essendon after following an umpire home who reported him, he gets a second chance with St. Kilda, and kicks sixty goals as a foil for the greatest full forward ever, and then follows that full forward to Sydney, and does nothing. O'Brien owed St...

The coaches at Sandy had their doubts about whether Archer could make it in the AFL. On the face of it, he looks lucky to have stayed on the list, but good luck to him moving forward. hope he can prove them wrong.

I'm with you on this one BigCarl. Moods, my contention is not that Lyon couldn't coach, far from it, rather that he didn't know how to mould and develop young players with no experience. In other words he couldn't actually teach them how to play. Lyon did a good job, as I stated. Better than Thomas,...

Don't like what Rossy did, but I did enjoy watching the saints win 65% of their games under him and always being competitive, not to mention four finals appearances and three grand finals. Personally reckon Lyon may have left earlier if we had pinched one of those Flags, and gone for the big bucks a...

Love to see Maxy come back to the club as defensive coach. Bumped into him at a milk bar on Hampton St during the week of the build up to the Grand Final Replay last year and he said that he would've loved to have stayed at the Saints but nothing was offered. Made a point of saying to me that he rea...

I'm with Savatage who wrote I hope we get two gun kids and shove it up Sydney's arse.
I'll take two kids from the bush who bleed footy, or a mature age rookie from the VFL who will kill for a chance.
Go Saints.
Walsh is now my second most hated player after Ball in the AFL. Hope he never makes it.

I read on saintsational that Ryan was a cats supporter after our Qualfiying Final win against them in 2010. The tone of that forum was that if Ryan had been the closest umpire to the play we would not have received the free that we did, which effectively saved the game for us because Ryan barracks f...

Reasons to hate Carlton - every saints supporter over the age of 35 will remember these two games 1987 - Princes Park - Owen kicks the sealer and his seventh(?) goal at the 30 minute mark to put us 7 points ahead. Outrageous free paid against Grant allows cheap kick to Spalding who feigns injury so ...
