Re: Op Keep Mav Weller
Interesting that Moorabbin town houses have baths, very spacious. Anyway, generally it seems a disadvantage to play one short (# not height) but possibly worse to have a warm body on the field as a net negative contributor particularly if poor kicks, poor handballs and ineffective tackles interspers...

Re: Ok, Serious Coaching Thread
Zero chance of transparency to us but I'd be surprised if a review isn't done as code for assistants will move on to other opportunities, with appreciation etc. CEO mentioned the AR contract extension would be negotiated in a wider context which I take to broadly mean winning more games and not losi...

Predictions for 2018 - risk your credibility?
Low hanging fruit: - Alan R will not be on AFL360, will spend more time on individual player coaching and delegate less. - Paddy will be a contender for the Coleman medal (i.e. top 5) - Saints will beat Sydney. (conditional on Billings re-signing) Multi odds are $1.10 x $26 x $6. (I made them up, bu...

Re: The "Meltdown Phenomenon"
I suspect the majority of clubs' supporters react the same way when their team fails as badly as ours has done in 2017 and GPsHeadband's assessment of Sainters/the Saints in general is hard or me to deny. The marketing slogan on the website is building something special that no other club has (no pr...

Re: Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist
All this thread is pretty good stuff from knowledgeable supporters and is demonstrable - what I don't get is why the people employed to coach and prepare appear so unaware (incapable?). As I tend to paranoia as far as the Saints go my lingering doubt is that egos, pet theories and hobby horses (one ...

Re: Ok, Serious Coaching Thread
How about a succession plan in 2018 for 2019. AR must be getting middle of the table fatigue and cliche block. He'd be a good Director of Football for long term. Mr Bains could take his current reputation and cash in on it before there is too much of a stocktake of what he has actually contributed. ...

Re: At what point do you cease supporting, and start resenti
On reflection I think the resentment starts about now and morphs to supporting about the time of the 2018 preseason trials. And the cycle more or less repeats.

Re: Ok, Serious Coaching Thread
May I agree with you all without sounding Allanish. My theory is AR never expected to be a senior coach. He has managed to get 5 years on the gravy train. It has set him up. He is no genius and he knows it, he knows his limitations. Premiership coaches other than Malcom Blight have a unique comparat...

Mav tried to ring, dialled a Dees supporter. Gresh kept missing the key pad, Acres dropped the phone completely then fell over.

Mav 15/1 ew _ I am a strong leader
I took the price on Mav 1st goal. He marks 40 out 45 degrees early when the tone is being set. I sit up - he passes to a Dee. Could you script it. Malcolm T saying I am a strong leader came to mind. 10 goals later (only 3 were from us) he crumbs beautifully and goals, bfd. He is appalling and the co...

Re: Team v Mebounre
How about a kick goals role for any forward. Winning stats and losing games is a bit futile ladder wise. Has Mr Savage actually kicked more goals from half back than Mav Well-I never, and managed a few tackles. And can chew gum. Mav's manager must have contracted for him to be picked if fit. Meanwhi...

Re: Team v Mebounre
Mav is bullet proof and the selectors must think either Battle or Marshall too big a risk. The selectors are wrong. IMHO which thankfully is often wrong. Its hard to keep winning tight games with 21 players but. I still have the image of Mav handballing straight to Hurn, couldn't he just have fumble...
