Could give great value on the Board

Only 4 players from that 1961 1st Semi team played in our Premiership team of 1966. In the last H&A game, which we needed to win to make the 4, North were bottom of the ladder and we trailed by 13 points at 3 quarter time. It has been speculated that Alan Killigrew told his players to let us wi...

Thanks for sharing

In that case I’ll go for the other pale winger, Dean Rice.

Jayson Daniels?

mute refraining from speech or temporarily speechless. moot point. A debatable question, an issue open to argument; also, an irrelevant question, a matter of no importance. For example, Whether Shakespeare actually wrote the poem remains a moot point among critics, or It's a moot point whether the c...

Anyway the positive is Seb is attempting to turn his short kick into a significant strength. It's not going to be a significant strength. His strengths are that he wins the ball, and can break lines. Kicking short is never a strength. It's merely a way to facilitate his other strengths, rather than...

From this morning’s Age : https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/paradise-lost-and-found-the-saints-and-moorabbin-20200210-p53zg6.html “Next week, Moorabbin will be packed for the second time in a matter of 11 days when St Kilda host the Hawks in an AFL pre-season practice game on a Thursday evening. ...

I have been following the Saints for 60 years since I was 10 y.o. And one of the most memorable for me was back in 1961. We played Richmond on a clear sunny day that was great for scoring and on this day our backline was impassable. We won 12.19 (91) to 0.08 (8) by 83 points. Backline was Walsh, Ho...

IF our midfield is so poor how come 2 members of that midfield placed first and second on our B&F Did you note our % Our mids are ok at getting, the ball but dreadful at using it. Though both Ross and Dunstan became more effective in the last batch of games. Could have something to do with our ...

Could be more value on the Board as Director of Football

Can we go after bomber Thompson? Seriously he would be an amazing get plus he may want to do something good again or the very least charity work/ community service There are 250 community service hours that he will be doing that we wouldn’t have to pay for. Very attractive when we are carrying a $1...

Was there that day but didn't see Nicky raise his jumper. Anyone actually witness that? Or did only Pies members see it? Saw it. I had the binoculars on Nicky as he was walking off the ground. Fantastic moment. Seemed to take the football world a long time to realise the significance of it. Great t...

Decision to play Battle in defence was made late last year and he trained for the line all pre season. Was a fair bit of risk involved. If Clarko makes the same desission with someone like Sicily who also played all his footy as a forward then it's a a ground breaking move and applauded for its cou...

“Elphinstone signed with Richmond in 84-85 I think, but had a change of heart and stayed at Moorabbin.” Eel had a change of mind after the Saints appealed his request for transfer to Richmond at the VFL Appeals Tribunal and won. He subsequently was pleased to have remained at the saints and to be a ...

Lions are really killing it at the moment. I've listened to a few of Chris Fagan's pressers. He sounds like an excellent communicator and he is probably a very good operator in my humble opinion. Our club should lake a leaf. While they've certainly done some good things recently I think the footy w...

Saints scored an average of 73 points per game. Fourth lowest in the competition. Not sure about fully stocked for forwards.

From my dim memory, I can only think of Leigh Matthews having success follow him around from club to club, maybe Barrassi? Not many other coaches come to mind that can have success ,then go to another club and continue with that success??? It really is up in the air as to how much a new coach will ...

It wouldn't surprise me if you were actually on our recruitment team.

Or on the payroll somewhere at the club

He told me prior to his second season that he believed in attacking football. ‘The team that scores the most wins’,he said in a thoughtful review of his football philosophy. When I suggested that many successful teams develop a core effective defensive unit he dismissed that as being unnecessary if ...

Is Matt Finnis likely to survive into next season?

The more i read here the more I am convinced that they need to get Roo back as an assistant coach then the real coach. Every player on our list would respect and play for him. I agree he could make a real contribution to the club but l would prefer to see him join the Board as the Director of footb...

Our entire ruck dept have been seriously disapointing in their lack of development over the last 3 years, I have tried to be patient and positive towards both Hickey and Longer at various times. We should try and offload two of Hickey, Longer and Pierce and see if we can poach the North Melbourne b...

I've been saying this for months. Then Roo and or Joey should have been kept on for another year. This is a massive cop out by Richo. Give Richo the arse, now. Disagree. It stems back to a lack of kids being introduced in 2009/2010. As a result, our senior group now is Jack, Armo and Gilbo. We obvi...

You may be right that Big tex will smell blood and run wild but the Crows are playing Richmond so I doubt it will have an impact on the Saints
