Sorry Everyone but we cant win it!!!

[rama35]

Just went through our list and i thought it was ok,but to be honest i dont think we can win the Flag.
We will make the 8 and more than likely make the top 6 but when it comes to beating the likes of GELLONG OR HAWTHORN i think we are a fair way off them.
Recuiting Farren Ray for me is just replacing an ordinary but fast player in Fiora.
I know i will cop a bit for saying this and i hope im wrong,but lets just wait and see.

[Gilbert=Legend]

well said, i feel the same way and will continue to feel the same way until we get a new coach and start playing the young players.

you have my full support

In fact, I suggest we poke him in the eyes first, then hit him over the head with a chisel.

You should get in contact witht he club immediately and ask to speak with John Beveridge. He's been waiting a while for someone with your genius to help him out.

It's a dumb thread, so let's wander... airfaires are amazing at the moment. Almost 1/2 price... I'm told hotels are empty so they are also cheap

You may be right. For me though, I felt the window had closed after '06. You only get so many chances in footy. Just think how good it will be though when we finally win that elusive flag. Anyhow, I still have hope.

But if there is anyone out there who is still in a state of panic and self-pity over our recent pre-season result, I suggest you build a bridge before the real season begins!

[WayneJudson42]

Foitunately, I reckon we're in with a big chance, now that I've been appointed as forwards coach for 2009.

Nah ah ah.

Love the OP.

Yep. Lets get another new coach. By the way how many flags have we won with another new coach. The answer is zero just in case you didnt realise. Also our under 13's at our local club are quite young. I think they should get a game as well.

[jay young]

I dont think well make the 8. weve got a brilliant defence, a slow error riddled midfield ,one ruckmen(king) one good forward (nick) WE should of traded a heap of so called stars 4 or 5 yrs ago . i agree we wont win the flag , teams like carl coll rich ess will start whipping us now.

[Solar]

doesn't matter cause carlton will win it OMG they won a pre-season cup game

[Stillwaiting]

Good honest assesment Rama, at best we will finish top 4 but most likely bottom of the 8

Cant see any improvement from last year, but hope I a wrong

[saintly_safes]

Its gunna be a long year.Imo our recruiting over the last 5 years has been abysmal , our game plan is way too defensive & our skill level is not good enough to implement it , its painful to watch & does not suit what stregnths he do have. To compete against the top sides we have to be alot more attacking & move the ball alot quicker so we give our forwards half a chance & start to win alot more clearances as we got smashed against the good teams last year. We seem to recruit players with plenty of g&d but poor foot skills eg. Eddy, Armitage, Jones,Gilbert, & with the exception of Dal & BJ the rest of the team only have average to below average foot skills.If you look at teams like Geelong & the Bulldogs most of the side have great foot skills.Are their skills coaches so much better than ours or do we just recruit players with sloppy skills. I think we can make the 8 but if we play like we did in Brisbane last week even that might be a big ask.I love the saints & will be toasting every win & crying after every loss & its not all doom & gloom but unless we change the game plan or improve our skills dramatically the reality is we wont be top 4 material this year.

[Stillwaiting]

Well said Saintly, everything I wanted to say but would take me a week to type. The big problem is the poor recruiting from about 2003. This has made things even more dificult for RL, and left the club a few years behind And the theory that it was ok to play a few players short on the list so that we could save money really is hurting now

Is there an obvious correlation between these 'negative' saints 'supporters' and terrible English skills??... Some of the spelling and punctuation in this thread is abysmal...

I know my posts aren’t exactly the most eloquent going around, but geez its easy to spot the trolls.... What a laugh....

Its not that i'm a negative saints supporter it's more that i'm a realist. I give credit where credits due but don't see the point of rewarding mediocrity .Your right my English skills are shite & your also right about your posts.

[clarky449]

We will make top 8, top 4??? not sure, im not looking foward to the next 5 years thats for sure.

Funny that, because I don't think your sorry at all...and I also think that you hope you are right
