It’s hard to not like Danger when he stays in character from one of his many zany escapades.

Talls take longer.Is Heath still injured or is he in the exit lounge with Allison?
Had a hand brace on today but should be fine to play at SandyIs Heath still injured or is he in the exit lounge with Allison?
He'll definitely get another contract. Showing good progress for a young ruck. It'll be interesting to see how many years.Is Heath still injured or is he in the exit lounge with Allison?
I was going to laugh, but then realised how right you areCan’t wait for this shit season to end. I’ve lost all interest in the rest of the matches. We don’t start our season until the trade and draft period.
That guy from Sydney will be very happy.He’s in
Dunno, if some of the big name Saints had pulled their collective fingers out on the day, we would have won a flag.
There's a LOT out of contract, with very little noise or news of players wanting to, or having signed on.I was disappointed at Ross' response in his presser when he was asked if he is looking to experiment given we cannot make finals. Said they will pick the best side possible as a) it's their duty to members to try to win and b) he wants to avoid the media scrutiny that comes with losses.
It's a far cry from the process-driven scoreboard-ignoring bubble days. I'm not advocating tanking and would prefer to keep winning - but we still need to be looking for ways to improve long-term. We've blown a great opportunity over the past couple of weeks to give some of our young guys a taste of the level and see if they are up to it. I'm sure members would be forgiving if we saw a bunch of new players roll through and show us what they've got (McLennan in the Brisbane game for example).
Go back and look at some of the absolute rubbish that was written about Sam Mitchell up until a few months ago (and how quickly they all change their tune...). Good for him that he blocked out the noise and stuck to his guns. Concerning if we have a coach who readily admits that he cannot do the same and it impacts his decision-making. Unless more papers are already stamped than we realise...

Does RTB know that the members actually DONT WANT to win though…..I was disappointed at Ross' response in his presser when he was asked if he is looking to experiment given we cannot make finals.

The "so St Kilda" trope is so tiresome. Unfortunate things happen to everyone, not everyone tries to make it part of their identity. Oozes loser mentality but I guess that's in keeping with the rest of your postWouldn’t that be sooooo St. Kilda to beat Cats and then also an injury-ravaged Blues when we replay don’t want to?

Great post. Nobody is going to dramatically change there opinion of the Saints over the next 2 weeks.I was disappointed at Ross' response in his presser when he was asked if he is looking to experiment given we cannot make finals.

Hugo wouldn't be the only one with one eye on playing somewhere else. Who the blazes would like to be drafted to a Ross Lyon coached team. From the outside looking in, like I am, Lyon looks like he breaks the spirit of young players. Even without Lyon as coach no one want to be picked up by the SaintsIf I were Hugo Garcia I'd be asking for a trade at seasons end if 34 touches, 12 tackles & 3 goals aren't rewarded at the selection table this week. Absurd that he keeps putting up these kind of numbers week in week out playing in a feast or famine position even in the VFL and is still ignored.
Sense of humour, dude…The "so St Kilda" trope is so tiresome. Unfortunate things happen to everyone, not everyone tries to make it part of their identity. Oozes loser mentality but I guess that's in keeping with the rest of your post
I reckon the only guy worth bringing in for a game is Heath. Hotton, Keeler etc. are fine playing out the year in Sandringham. They'll get smashed by the Geelong and Carlton players anyway, so let them build. Heath though is probably worth a look. Stick him in the forward line and let him mark, compete and ruck.Great post. Nobody is going to dramatically change there opinion of the Saints over the next 2 weeks.
We don't want to win ffs. Members are smart enough to understand coping a couple of losses the next 2 weeks is in our best interest.
I am not saying don't try, but do we need to pick best available? That's just dumb.
Diehard is one of the good one's, rookie. You'll get there.The "so St Kilda" trope is so tiresome. Unfortunate things happen to everyone, not everyone tries to make it part of their identity. Oozes loser mentality but I guess that's in keeping with the rest of your post
I remember Shane Warne RIP showing his relief when a new attacking coach (Watters) was taking over in 2012, and I think there was a general feeling that the shackles were finally being loosened and players were now going to be able to shine.Hugo wouldn't be the only one with one eye on playing somewhere else.
