It was strange that we delisted Clavarino. I thought he had shown enough and was improving. Particularly odd given CHB is one of the holes we need to fill.

I honestly wonder what Trout must think when watches Patracca play. He is embarrassed? Does he actually realise what he’s done or does he tell himself that he didn’t have a crystal ball and that he made the right decision at the time?

The AFL legal team are a bunch of hacks They were told that a conviction was the AFL preferred option and they couldn't deliver Waste of time, good for nothing hacks who should seriously look to change professions Jeff Gleeson is the best in the business. If he couldn't get it done then no-one could.

He's been terrific and much more courageous than I realised before he came to us.

Just a shame Eddy isn't still there to sack his love child! End of an empire. Implosion ...explosion bla bla... He was a good coach Buckley. Should have been a premiership coach. (As a former back pocket in the under-15 C team at school, I know what I am talking about. ) lol Must have hurt to see R...

From Zero Hanger - Saints have two of worst trade decisions. 1. Nick Hind The Saints are battling, have no X factor and no rebound out of defence, yet for some reason they tried to turn Hind, who’s now having a stellar season for the Dons in defence, into a small forward. It worked on the odd occas...

Big question is IF we land a pick 7 this year, knowing we need to bring in multiple players do you run the risk and try split that for 2 picks mid 20 + early 30s OR do you say no best available mid at pick 7 knowing your odds are improved at getting a better quality player the higher up you selecti...

At the time we had to spend the salary cap on someone and he was the only decent player willing to come to us. In any event, we’ve got to retire him now and do a deal on the remaining year on his contract. It’s the only way to stop the bleeding. Sorry suss, I do not buy "we had to spend the sa...

Watching bombers v west coast. Hind is brilliant off half back, exactly the player we need Essendon have beaten West Coast at home . They have drafted very well & are now reaping the rewards IMO need to do the same Some of their kids look like being absolute jets. Bringing in a few promising yo...

Even though he moves like a new born giraffe I thought he went okay. I’d much rather him play than Frawley. He’s raw but could make it.

He’s a lazy, lazy footballer. He gives no repeat efforts or hard running to win the football and zero defensive pressure when the other side has it. He’s the complete opposite of the guy who used to wear his jumper. His goal kicking regime is the kind of thing you’d expect in a game of bush footy. H...

Must draft Felix Flockhart if only for the name.

I agree. I think he can coach and is the right person for job - at least for now.

The list is not good. That’s not his fault. We stuffed some high end draft picks and traded away too many picks for not much in return. It can’t be sheeted home to him.

We played Hind in the wrong position Bruce, not sure why we thought offloading him was a good idea? Hickey, is in good form. Played some good footy at StK but at times was also poor (maybe injury?) Letting Hickey and Bruce go I can understand - one looked like he wasn't going to make it and the oth...

And our 2nd rounder would be pick 20 or 21 if we hadn’t offloaded it.

We’re paying the price for years and years of shocking drafting and list management. We’re cooked. We need to hit the draft hard for 3-4 years without giving away second rounds draft picks for broken old hacks from other clubs. We need to ask whether Gags and Libratore are up to the task too. They’v...

Luck had nothing to do with that. It was all in our control and we mentally fluffed it.

Mentally weak. We probably should’ve taken a confident little sod like rozee

I reckon Tom Hickey played the worst game I’ve ever seen anyone play in a Saints jumper (vs ESS from memory?) Could’ve been injured? Form?? Confidence?? Not sure... But it was appalling!!! What is appalling is a club that has a habit of blaming losses on individuals. Tom was not in the best players...

I was super impressed by Hill’s game, and not just his running and disposal efficiency but some of the defensive things too. Great efforts from Jones and Crouch in particular. Hunter Clark sells more candy than Willy Wonker. We are nothing without Paddy. Butler was good early but not happy with some...

Why are the same players from last year so s*** all of a sudden???

Unfortunately probably on our way to 17th as in our current form the only team we are likely to beat is North and they sometimes have the wood on us. The only bright side is we still have our 1st round draft pick in what’s touted as a strong draft but will we use it or trade it away for some broken...

Paddy McCartin for Christian Petracca. The biggest of all. Yeah that Petracca kid goes alright Is there anyone left still defending that decision? I will. I don't have a problem with the logic for going with Paddy. It was a bit of the box but Petracca apparently did not want us. You may not think i...
