Longer??

Why?

Paddy is Kosy Mach II - clumsy - brave but stupid. Talented but feels the pressure. I fear he’ll be another case of a potential star who never reaches his potential . I’ve always been behind Paddy, but I’m getting to the point where I think we should cut our losses. He’s too hard to keep on the par...

Many positives. One thing I like in particular is that all last year the first action of many of our players was to look backwards when getting the ball. Now there is little of that. The emphasis is mainly to move it forward. We have a lot less backwards kicking and even switching as a result. As t...

The transition from defence remains a big problem. Unless we can slingshot it, which the Bulldogs shut down after quarter time, we have no Plan B. We get all panicky, and if we don't cough it up with short, risky chip kicks - we just kick it down the line. Which, of course, just gets shutdown. It's ...

Parker's a bit overrated. Doesn't do anything.

Overrated??

He's never played an AFL hasn't he?

I've posted about it last year.

He arrives at the fall of the ball too early. Leaves himself under it as a result, which makes it far easier to spoil.

Kicking long and high to a stationary Lonie is truly frustrating to watch. We had McCartin, Sinclair and Lonie deep.... McCartin leads to the pocket and is ignored (to be fair he went too early), and we go long to Sinclair and Lonie in 2 on 2 aerial contest. I'm sure Ratten will address that. Happe...

I'll tell you why...

Long bow.

We averaged over 40K to all our games and also for all our home games in three consecutive years - 2008, 2009 and 2010 (including finals). You have to include finals because that is the main aim. That is the ultimate target for the footy club to prosper and grow Interestingly... we also averaged ov...

Care to explain that theory??

My dad passed away in 2009 before the Grand Final. Like many of us, as a supporter and sponsor, he dedicated lots of time and money to his greatest love outside of the family, the Saints. My mum always complained about my dad either heing at work or at the football. One of his dying thoughts were a...

When we have the best smart admins that can take advantage of the success on field with growth in Memberships like the Richmond model it can set you up long term. Richmond's huge membership growth momentum started before they won a premiership. The fact that their admin and board are so smart gives...

I think you're missing the point It's got nothing to do with your own sense of self worth It's all about enjoyment of the game Winning is a much better feeling than losing. The more we win and the more we aspire to win, means we get a chance to experience that beautiful feeling of winning finals We...

good strong clubs do not behave like this. Umm dude, we're not a good strong club. But we aspire to be one. And I still hold faith that one day we will become one. I think we are a sleeping giant and could be as big as Richmond one day in terms of support. Not under this regime though. I think this...

Interesting! How did I negatively reference you? By using the same friendly casual greeting that you gave me? Yes and by commenting in that way on the content of the posts you were clearly negatively relating to and referencing and baiting another poster. 100%. So mimicking isn't baiting? Interesti...

He was hanging s*** on the Saints this morning at a function.

And FWIW, Schwartz tipped us to finish 8th.

Samoht is getting to me and I now reluctantly accept the dual lead weights in the saddles are recruitment which seems to be predicated on hope for the ever elusive coming seasons rather than immediate impact, and AR. Max, mighty prospect that he may be is a WIP. Bytel a WIP. Where is a good ruckman...

.....my feeling is they are trying to manufacture some belief and enthusiasm inside the playing group.... Of course it was. Whether it works or not, who knows. What we do know thgouh, is that they didn't sing it because they were ecstatic that they won the game. They clearly sung it to try to gener...
