Re: A look at our list

Lonie played well in the 1st Q but is a player who needs others playing well around him and as the game went on he didn't have that. In a team going well he will prove to be a valuable player. A keeper (in the hope we will improve).

Obviously I have done it again. I have stopped more threads than I have ever received return comments.

Re: PR Issues

We need a larger than life character to oversee the football dept. Someone to do the Balme role, Danny Frawley type but someone who can be taken seriously to project the club into the community. Mentioned before about dropping numbers on this site. If Saintsationalists could accept we are a COMMUNIT...

Re: BJ ...if we offered him one year just for leadership ..would if hurt us long term ?

Surely someone at the Club has racked though the leadership groups at other clubs to find possible in form players that we could hit on like GWS, Melbourne, Brisbane and even the Eagles with Mitchell last year. These all appear to have had positive results. But not a scowling finger pointer.

Re: Saints in box seat for McGovern

Collingwood and Ball obviously had this all worked out pretty early on. One gets the impression that Lyon knew this was on and was most probably part of the reason for the ill feeling.

Re: Mitchell set to leave Eagles, return to Victoria.

A good assistant worth his salt should surely see that we need better coaching as we have a team which has shown it has the talent to perform well on occasions. If they believe they have ability then coming to us gives them the chance to prove themselves and raise their value.

Re: Rumour: Harves to coach us in 2020

Maybe the name is Waterhouse and he is just looking to create some odds

The harshest thing about Harvs being coach would be when it comes time to sack him, or perhaps he may get a better offer from the Hawks because he did so well with us.

I asked my 4 year old nephew to decipher it all and he came up with that; "If Saints get Jeremy, his brother Mitch will come too!!"

Re: 25-11 "The Noise Of Affirmation" Raise this with Gill Richo.

Hocking, in his latest statement, is wrong to say they will only look at trends in umpiring decisions because, if it is vindictiveness on behalf of umpires it may show as a trend but, if it is corruption it most likely won't.

Re: 25-11 "The Noise Of Affirmation" Raise this with Gill Richo.

It was suggested earlier that the AFL have more to worry about than our free kicks. I beg to differ, I think they should be very worried about the umpiring. As this conversation has progressed the idea that umpires may take it out on us if we raise concerns just emphasizes how open to interpretation...

Re: Frees for and against saints

I thought at the time that players possibly felt they they were up against it with another poor decision taking the wind out of their sails after working hard. The same as when bad kicking lets us down, it did appear to be a visible response showing disappointment with the Savage decision.

Re: Does Membrey need a spell in the VFL?

Why not pick a rangey backman from the Zebs, who has never spoken to Ben Dixon, and stick him in front of the sticks. He may well kick better and his behaviour won't be as predictable.

Intensity was going really welluntil Savage was penalised , in the back, which gave them their first goal. Reckon there was an immediate and visible change after that.

There is an article on the Saints site about Jason Heatley's daughter at the Club. Perhaps they might get her to ask her dad to replace Dixon?
