Haven't ever been the biggest fan of RTB but just feels right and I'm loving the "unfinished business" narrative, feels like the players would actually be motivated to perform every week with Hayes, NDS and hopefully Goddard involved at the club. As Bassat said, we've been irrelevant for over a...

That presser was clearly directed to us fans, not the media - they don't get it. I'm happy to see the club grilled and not going to drink the Bassat/Lethlean Kool-Aid but liked what I heard.

We bag the players a lot but i'm putting this one squarely at the coaches feet. We got killed out the back/on relatively slow rebounds not because of a lack of running/effort, purely based on an atrocious defensive setup (and it's been happening all year). As for Max King, anyone with half a...

Feels very weird going into tonight, if we win more likely than not we'll be playing for a finals spot in the final game of the season. Would be quite an effort for a team that hasn't played a full 4 quarters in 10 weeks (outside maybe against a Carlton side that kicked 10.18).

I've been a big supporter of ratten but he should lose his job, the ball movement is downright pathetic - they have no clue where to kick

After last week i thought things were at rock bottom, good to know these saints can still surprise me

Hopefully with Sharman in the team they'll start lowering their eyes and kick to the best option going inside 50, not just lob it up to King in a 1 v 4

Probably narrows to the current top 7 (8+ wins) with Tigers maybe an outside chance. Out of top 7 teams playing each other, Saints (7/11 with 2 interstate + 1 in Geelong) and Lions (6/11 with 3 interstate) stand out as having really tough runs home - I'd expect both to slide. Dees have...

FB: Webster, Howard, Wilkie HB: Sinclair, Battle, Highmore C: Hill, Steele, Billings HF: Higgins, Membrey, Butler FF: Marshall, King, Gresham R: Ryder, Clark, Jones I/C: Crouch, Sharman, Paton, Coffield Sub: Byrnes Next in line: Hannebery, Ross, McKenzie, Bytel As always these things change...

Constable had some ridiculously good games early on but still couldn't break into the side and probably stunted his development - I'd still say he has the potential. Sier was unlucky the pies had a stacked midfield earlier in his career - genuine tackling/clearance machine whose been hampered a...

Wow I'm even more surprised that he's gone, they're really cleaning out shop. I thought he was always really solid inside/outside from memory when he started on-ball. Maybe it's coz I had a soft spot for the hawks while watching but I reckon Cousins could easily be best 22 for us.

I like Hanrahan, my parents are Hawks fans so I've watched a fair few of his games and I always thought he was a solid young half forward - was surprised to see him delisted. I'd take a chance on a guy like that, they seem to work out better for us than the big name recruits

If we get Ben King I have hope - otherwise yeah maybe we'll crack the century mark

It took us 69 years to win our first, we're currently at 55 years. Give us 14 more years. Nice.

oh awesome only 14 more years

I'm liking the positivity. Hannebery's salary was renegotiated to be cheaper this season which is lucky. Jones was great in patches this year, just missed too many games through injury, as did Marshall, Clark and Gresh (missed the whole year effectively).

It's probably wishful thinking but ever since we made the SF last year I was mentally preparing for a similar 2019 Demons hangover after breaking our own finals drought (especially after a lot of key injuries during the pre-season). We didn't quite end up on the ladder where they were (the 1st...

All fair criticisms, the 2015 one I still see as a win, since we got pick 18 back with Carlisle and took Gresham (who has just been unlucky with injuries the last 2 seasons). But yeah some of our drafting at the top end has been very iffy for a long time, can't question some of the finds we've...

It's gonna be interesting, I think he's being slightly underrated going in but it's just so tough given the 3 guys above him are gonna have so many opportunities to poll on top teams. The one thing as you've said Steele has going for him is the guys ahead of him have vote stealers on their...

Okay there's a lotta stupid commentary from both saints fans and non-saints fans in this thread but you have no clue if you're making this comment. Watch a game or two

Yep Webster didn't put a foot wrong all season, he rarely get's beaten and often plays above his size - some of our defenders are just criminally underrated.

A really good top 10 this year, great to see the unsung heroes like Sinclair, Wilkie and Webster get rewarded for really good seasons (especially Sincs, he was a revelation this year). We knew Steeley would win but still so glad to continue seeing him rack up accolades, he works so damn hard...

again what a rubbish excuse, yeah sure some teams are good enough to overcome it - but that game last night (as has been the last 5 years of dogs footy) was the prime example of how even 1 bad decision can decide a game i.e. bontempelli not only being behind mcinerney but also mcinerney's jumper...

Lol 1) that's not a great one to point out. Eagles were 59-61 (lol) in 3 finals and pies were 74-63 in 4 finals, so at least on the numbers west coast unfavoured in finals and Collingwood definitely not favoured like the dogs at 79-48 in 4 finals. 2) In total, the Pies had a free kick...

Even that's an understatement, it's 2016 onwards. Saying "free kick count ain't gotta be even" would be fine but it simply boggles the mind they've finished with the best differential 4 of the last 6 years (in a goddamn 18 team competition!). We had 8 free kicks last year in the EF and we were...

Tim Duncan's probably one you missed - I didn't get into basketball young enough to watch him play but resume speaks for itself

Jumping on the Power bandwagon big time too. If you thought the cats had a great run with the green men in the QF, prepare big time coz the Dogs are way beyond any of that. Win big, don't give the umps the chance because they will certainly take it.

I'm not usually a brisbane supporter, plus I don't like dons or swans at all but wow you guys have all got reasons to be angry. It sucks, they tried hard to finish our EF against the dogs last year but left it too late. It's genuinely ****ed up, the Bulldogs are destroying any semblance of fairness.

Genuinely, they put Bont at HF but put Macrae on ball (who they put last year on the wing) and Walsh/Merrett on the wings?? They really won't give him credit til we're top 4 and even still I wouldn't bet on it.

I disagree, the further he is from goal, the more favours you do for the opposition. Let him take pack marks and allow him to take it overhead on the lead, even Geelong's backline were shitting themselves trying to work out how to spoil him before he got hurt. Max isn't Nick Riewoldt and neither...
