I’m sorry but I find it weird how people get certain impression (not just you, others as well) about players and how committed/professional they are (need a kick up the butt etc) when we don’t know them, probably never get to a practice and have no insider knowledge. Much like life, players have different personalities and if people judged Dal Santo by the laconic way he played they would think he didn’t give a damn.

I totally get that but I have heard people on here and outside of the forum suggest his attitude was less than expected. If you want to go back and read my impression of him last year I was his biggest backer. Preseason I suggested he would be AA quality. Instead he's barely in the best 22 with Highmore looking every bit like he's going to be first picked in the same role. In the list of players who have dropped off the most in AFL footy since least year we had Coff, Butts, Marshall and Long. Marshall has excuses but the others just for what ever reason failed to back up.

There were suggestions all three came back cocky and arrogant and didn't put in the required effort or live up to standards. Once I would have excused that away but that's exactly why we stayed down for 10 years. Letting standards slip is a one way ticket to mediocrity. If we got rid of Bruce for his attitude then allow another generation to develop the same habits we will end up back here again wondering where the years went.

From AFL site

TEAMS: Veterans dumped, Blues' BIG ins, Saints lose five


That AFL site needs to purged of the Saints-hating staff members. How is us losing 5 players the headline when we're bringing in Marshall, Higgins Highmore and Clark? Why isn't it "Saints regain 4 stars"? Pricks.

**** em. Hopefully Caitlin Jenner thinks he's playing a depleted line up and spends an extra few hours on his dewy complexion and redoing his tips at Sharon's Perm Salon in Niddrie instead of planning.

Realistically they are just sharpening a knife to stab at Teague with after the game. "He couldn't even get over an injury ravaged Saints".

Not St Kilda, but pretty hilarious that Caro was right all along.

It looked like Clarkson wanted to stay but the hawks pushed him out. Everyone was saying she was making up BS and there was also a lot of pretty personal stuff said about her. Whether you like her or not, it looks pretty clearly like she was right that it wasn't all sunshine and roses.

spent a full segment shitting on her. Watch this now, knowing that Clarkson is now out the door. Pretty hilarious:




People complain about the media a lot, but when there is smoke there is usually fire.

Hey mate do you just stumble on these like I do or is there a place that you go for easier access?

How about Spotify?

I was a wrap on naughton but people found it funny because we didn't need a defender....

Well you never mentioned he was a gun forward.

In this case maybe but more often than not they are the smoke, the spark with an incendiary device thrown in for good measure. Just how much do they precipitate the outcome! Regardless I have little respect for most of the media but a necessary evil at best!
At a much higher level there are some truly great media operators thank God!
Anyway, it took Jeff a while but the HAWKS are finally morphing into the Victorian Liberal Party!

Don't think anyone knew

Man he was a once in a generation attacking defender though. God he'd be good at CHB right now.

Could all be true, sometimes a kid needs a wake up call when entering a professional environment. I think you’re making a huge leap to say we could be allowing him to develop bad habits. Just saying it’s hard to know from the outside looking in, there could be a myriad of reasons, personal or otherwise, but a suggestion that he could be on the trade table (not you)….but seriously??

“Maybe they have to re-school him”: Saints defender axed for third time this season

Is it time for Nick Coffield to find a new position?

Well **** me they nailed that. He came back with a bit of a big head and you could tell he just expected it to happen and was just waiting for that ball to come to him. I would love to see him in the midfield. He test awesome in the 20m sprint in his draft year. Got a really nice side step and I guess that’s why we did draft him in end

 

[austinnn]

What a dumb headline from the AFL site. So the story according to them is we're losing five? Anyone with some AFL knowledge would see it as we are "regaining four". Seriously, have a look....


ST KILDA
In: T.Highmore, R.Marshall, H.Clark, J.Higgins
Out: P.Hunter (omitted), O.Clavarino (omitted), N.Coffield (omitted), C.Sharman (omitted), J.Sinclair (hamstring)

In the end maybe they were right.

Doe's he need re- schooling or does he just have a poor Teacher

Coffield was great when he first started playing for us. Then we started 'coaching' him. Cough cough

That's the level of relevance we have in the competition. Not the first time either. After all this time we are just making up the numbers, ignored by everyone else until its trolling time or some bad shit happens. I don't mind flying under the radar but in the end I'm just mitigating the emotional cost of our club being the unloved forgotten son of the competition.

Bassat, Finnis, Lethlean: you have the reins - do what needs to be done to make the AFL world know our names. I want the Saints to go Marlo Stanfield on the AFL's muddled ass.

Nar in the same time we've had Hunts, Pato, Byrnes, King, Bytel and even Leo come in and play with good attitude and strong promise.
It's clearly between the ears with Coff. Easily rattled and dealing with the demise of his fig jam.
With a fit squad he's playing at Sandy, which is probably the best thing for him until he grows up.
Not everyone matures at the same age so he's still a keeper based on potential.

Ha, made the same comment...but in another thread. Poor Coff, he'll never live it down.

This one is a "must listen". Troy is fantastic. Bagging the crap out of Blight. How brilliant GT was with his players, even after they've all finished up. How cold Lyon was. Some cracking stories. All the guys still catching up all these years later... I doubt we would say the same about our current group. I loved the line about GT hardening up Troy, something that's missing at the club right now.

Great story, I can remember that goal. It was a beauty. Would love to hear Steve Baker on there.

Would love to have GT back at the club. He wouldn’t stand for any of the shit we’ve seen this year.

Yeah he’d probably send them to the movies.
