If I was Caldwell I would do the same.

Essendon need him and are backing him to be a leader.

At the Saints he will merely be given a go.

i think he is a huge loss but hopefully Bytel is the real deal also.

Meher baba's post mentions "antediluvian" posts. WTH Antediluvian means 'before the flood' meaning before the famous flood that saw Noah build a huge wooden ark... He's using a nice flowery word without knowing its meaning. LOL From Google: Meaning of antediluvian in English extremely old...

Over $71 K now . Well done , Saints fans . It is terrific but not only Saints fans. I went online to see whether my contribution registered and Bob Murphy contributed $250 at same time. Thanks Hard Saint for this thread otherwise I would not have known about it. Robbie was a genuine star in tough t...

Before the game Roo mentioned that Lonie was number 1 in the AFL for forward pressure and Butler in top 3 and it was key reason behind the Saints high conversion rate from inside 50s.

You concede I may have had a point on Dunstan?

From our 2016 list Newnes, Acres, Hickey, Steven, Weller, Bruce, Minchington & Goddard have all been moved onto other clubs. Your guess of Dunstan was clearly wrong. He is still with us 4 years later.

Teams flying in the same day as games earlier in the season had great success, even though some were saying it would give them no chance. These are 20 year old elite athletes, not 60 year old couch potatoes. Freo were 2 down for most of the game. The issue was most of our blokes didn’t want to go i...

Hill has not played well since going down in the Richmond game.

At the time it seemed serious.

Watching on TV is hopeless to tell what is actually happening but I am guessing Hill is playing on injured.

We have Saintsationals version of Salem going on here. God forbid you have opinion that is non conformist or you'll be burnt at the stake for witchcraft (though I do think hanging was actually the preferred punishment of the day). Opinions are great. But when opinions are wrong we should own up to ...

I have a Question whos paying for the lawyer's ?? Being in BLM they couldnt give a toss about black people all they care how much coin they can get out of Gulity white folk , im not saying its Nicky but theres someone in his ear How dare you call yourself after a great indigenous player and then co...

I don’t think you can keep the captain out. Geary deserves his spot in the team and I think we need his experience. On balance, I think a forward pocket needs to go so for me it’s Lonie vs Kent for Geary is the one change I’d make Kent or Lonie? Why not Gresham? He's had 1 decent game out of 4. Sta...

It would be nice to see DH start to earn the $800k a season we pay him. Hasn’t done enough for even top 10 money since he walked in the door. Wow. Serious bias. Roo kept bringing Dan into the conversation. I think Dan is doing exactly what he was recruited to do. What was that, chew up salary cap? ...

Sorry if someone has an opinion you don't agree with , what you just take them too court You can have an opinion about how some-one is feeling but it is pure speculation. Only the person with the feelings really knows. Scott can apologise and admit he has no idea how Nicky felt at the time and it w...

It takes longer than 6 weeks to recover from divorce. I would say most people really struggle for first 6 months and true recovery takes between 1 to 4 years. Losing the plot is quite normal. A person going through divorce cannot simply tear up their employment contract and be a good bloke and acce...

My only other contribution / observation to this is that those who liken Ryder's contribution to Longer's contribution are doing Paddy a massive disservice. I'll be slightly facetious and say Ryder has already accumulated more possessions and taps to advantage / nil all, than Billy did for his Sain...

Rather than making judgments about true colours and intelligence how about you go through Moods' well written post and explain to us less intelligent folks where the fallacies lie.I see you carefully avoid any discussion re us paying part of his contract which was my main bone of contention! I have...

A bit one sided don't you think? There probably has to be some measure going forward for "mental health", or contracts won't be worth squat. Remember when we played games as kids and crossed our fingers and called barley as an immunity to getting tagged? Mental health is the new "bar...

He’ll be a big loss Geary. Was very good on Sunday. Will be a big test for Ratten too. Thought we went with too many small FPs in round 1 and had a much better balanced team this week. Personally, I’d like to see us bring Roberton back and rejig the backline. Bringing Kent back will be a mistake Ma...

Is set to resume on 1 AUGUST 2020 with 8 teams including Sandringham and will play 7 games and Finals That is great news. My nephew plays for Willy and did not think they would be playing this year. Big disadvantage for the affiliated clubs like Sandy but so good if we can play. I think Gerry Ryan ...

OK, I not only believe the sweet spot 23-27 in your analogy is not only narrow, but has been skewed toward your assumption that GT was a supercoach who pulled off a prelim final with a list full of kids and vets passed their prime. The reasons your 23-27 sweet spot is inaccurate and irrelevant for ...

2004 did not have a beautiful balance of mid age champions. That was our problem. Our key players were mostly young or guns past their prime. We were out-muscled by Port and Brisbane. They were mature teams which had dominated for 3 years and are considered by their supporters the best teams they h...

vs WCoast `04 Round 9 https://youtu.be/H8GuD2kymVM I am sure its been posted here many times. Brent Guerra gets 7. Xavier Clark! oh..how classy! Forwardline: Best ever seen at the Saints IMO.
