Just for perspective, I think it's worth posting our mission statement again The key goals for the Saints in their 2014-18 strategy: ■Be a top-four side positioned to be a consistent premiership contender. ■Have more than 50,000 members in Australia. ■Have 10,000 members in New Zealand. ■Deliver an...

As I see the draw for the rest of this year
we'll not win another game I fear
but I've been told to always believe
perhaps the Saints have something up their sleeve?
but the forthcoming matches give me little to cheer
so I believe I'll have another beer!

I liked this song better, from TISM:

The biggest factor that would save AR is the fact he's contracted to St. Kilda until the end of 2020

This is a concern and I worry for his future, check out this link: https://neurotracker.net/2017/08/22/5-r ... d-impacts/

But full kudos to the announcement "we'll be a top four side in 2018" for putting a new spin on "five year plan" - shuts up critics for at least four years

You're comment is highly offensive.

I agree mate, about time the admins took a 'zero tolerance' approach to personal attacks on posters on this forum

From 1979 to 1984 things were terrible, The Saints were seriously in debt & could barely field a side up to (then) VFL standard.

Not wooden spoon, Brisbane is much worse than us, but we are a bottom four contender at this rate. Not exactly the 'four' that we were told about five years ago

I was hoping to see a light at the end of the tunnel this year, right now I'd be happy to see a tunnel...

Absurd to believe P.M. was not a good number one draft pick?

I was roundly abused for this post in 2015, three years later it appears I've been vindicated

Something for us to aim for.

As Bill Murray might have said "we've got that going for us, which is nice"

And sack the next coach before he gets here, he's sure to be a 'dud' and think of the money we'll save

Do any Saints players feature in any pundit's 'Top 50 AFL players 2018'?

What a waste of money

Why is Bozo a clown?

He just took out another book: 'When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead: Useful Stories from a Persuasive Man' by Jerry Weintraub

Hard pressed to think of more than five players who deserve a senior game next week after yesterday's fiasco, trouble is who do we replace them with?

There's an old saying I've come to embrace in my 50 plus years as a Saints fan: "Blessed is he who expects very little, for he shall not be disappointed"

Do I detect a tone of sarcasm in that comment?

The Club as a whole does not know how to be successful and everything we do reflects this. Alex Jesaulenko said exactly that in 1980, following St.Kilda is like being in a real-life 'Groundhog Day'. I'm just waiting for the club to announce another 'five year plan' (it gets the critics off your bac...

Shouldn't his cap have said "PHARMACIST"?
