Investing in the future. There will be a big difference in 10 years time. Also, the greats of the past would struggle to get a game in 2022, these kind of comparisons are dumb. Agree. In ten years all of the AFLW players will have been playing footy since they could walk (as is the case in the AFL)...

Warner has been fantastic for Australian cricket in all forms of the game but IMO at test level he is showing signs that weight of expectation is affecting the way he has played in this series He’s scored two 90s this series, bit harsh. He struggled against the moving new ball, but who doesn’t! Wha...

I reckon we should try to fit as many as we can into the side, even if some alternate between playing as mid sized forwards ... flankers, etc... We need more playmakers in the side, midfielders in the making if we have to initially - be a little patient ... it's preferable (to me) over playing 3 sm...

Lever, May and Grimes are all between 193 and 195. If you’re good enough you’re tall enough. He obviously needs to work on his strength and put on some muscle but height won’t be the thing that stops him making it.

The club said it sees him as a defender. Hopefully the VFL gets a full season so he can get some matches under his belt.

Hottest ticket in town? A Saints membership!

I’d add a Sandy membership to that. They’ll have some kids worth watching. Hopefully a few of their games will be televised.

That’s correct. So it’s potentially pick 55 this year for a pick between 55 and 60 next year. Just gives us some extra points, and flexibility, this year.

I take this deal as an indication the Saints are extremely confident Owens won’t get taken in the first 20. Should guarantee that there’s no deficit for next year. It will be interesting if Owens does go top 20 and we’re stuck with a bunch of picks in the 50s. Maybe we then try to a deal to bundle t...

Yeah I think the Goose injury is one that goes under the radar for the negative impact it had on us, would have been one of the great defenders for us. The video also highlights how silky Dal was, something we sorely miss now! How is Paton coming along anyone? You think he’ll come good 100%? He joi...

Goose could roost the ball too....good player, shame about that fractured leg.

Xavier Clarke was another we didn’t get to see he best of. Silky smooth skills.

No room for Sharman?

Pick 11
Apologies, got Owens and Windhager mixed up. Would be lovely to get both and a pick 11.

When you factor in getting Sharman and Heath in the mid season draft, I think they would be good additions.

Yes, Jarman but Allen too. He kicked 4 goals didn't he? A first for him. I have much more of an issue with Shane Ellen kicking 5 than Jarman. Ellen hadn’t kicked a goal all year, how can you let him kick five in a game? Yeah. I should have looked it up. It was Shane Ellen thatI I was referring too....

The guy has NFI, it pisses me off reading these so called experts bagging the club when he cant look beyond decisions made 3 years ago.

That’s nothing. There’s people on here who can’t look beyond decisions made 10 years ago lol.

I've sent an enquiry to the club to find out what the position on poker machines is, i.e. whether they intend to keep them or exit as some other football clubs have done. Please let us know what their response is. I'd be very interested to hear it. I thought club said not long ago that in the long ...

If it's true then I think he is right. My understanding is that he was approached by someone at Carlton to gauge whether he's take on the job. Caro is reporting (yesterday) that Brian Cook, the CEO of Geelong (who's leaving at the end of this season), had been approached about the Carlton CEO job. ...

Time to get over it and move on to more important things.
Pick 3 Jodie Arnol
Pick 4 Peter Matera

Discuss.

This place is incredibly good fun… but literally everything we post is less than worthless.

Speak for yourself

Wilkie was brilliant, but isn’t he every week? Hasn’t missed a game since he started and hasn’t played a bad one. I don’t think he gets anywhere near enough credit from non Saints fans.

8.17 to 13.6 may have had something to do with last nights result. Bad kicking is bad football. Where have I heard that before?

When you factor in the crowd noise prompting the umps, you get a free kick tally of 13 to 27, with at least 5 dodgy frees in front of goal for the Nose Candy Clowns.

Rubbish. There’s no way we’ll get 13 free kicks today.

I’m getting my second AZ shot on August 16. Just in time to go and see the Saints in the finals!

Our two games against Richmond saw a 20 goal turnaround. If we repeat that this week we should win by about 11 goals.

Usually get an email on Tuesdays but nothing today.

I got my email today. Go to Ticketmaster and use the same barcode you got last time.
