I quite like the idea of Cordy playing forward.......... for Sandy.

Had two days to calm down after that pathetic performance on Thursday. I'm long past giving up excuses for the team letting us down but for the time being I'll try to be positive. I can't imagine a performance like that with all of King, Crouch, Wood, Henry, Clark, Dow, Howard and Webster in...

To think we were all complaining about our lack of early home games and we offer up that shite.

Never been a Hill fan but I've liked his year so far. Finally he's resembling the player we thought we were getting. So important with our current outs that he keeps it up. Think him and Henry would make a great duo.

I think it's time to take the kids gloves off with Max. We've kept him in cotton wool, frightened he'll get injured and yet he still does. We are crying out for support for Roma and we've got two mobile 2m guys on our list in Max and Howard who are both frustrating the hell out of us. Time to...

I'm pretty confident we'll make a game of it. Don't know whether we'll sneak a win but I'm not expecting the blow out others seem to be. Admittedly it's not a good time to play the Giants when we have five or six mids unavailable for selection. I just feel the Giants form whilst good, is in...

Even allowing for our half a dozen best 22 being out I don't think there would've been any coming back from a one goal first half if Lynch, Balta, Baker, Prestia, Hopper and Grimes had all played. Our first half needs to be heavily reviewed in that light.

Making season defining assessments after 4 close games is dangerous. It's not inconceivable we could be sitting 4-0 if we'd taken out chances and everyone would be talking up our top four chances. Equally, we could quite easily be 0-4 if we'd cocked up late against the Pies and Tiges and then...

I didn't realize that Essendon's "edge" they were talking about playing on was really the edge of a cliff. They jumped off tonight.

Check out 2009. RTB as Coach and Misson as High Performance Manager (or similar). Don't think we had one soft tissue injury for the year and we had the lightest injury list in the comp. Admittedly that's not Misson's rule now but he'd still have to be all over it. I can't believe it's any more...

Nice stat.

Probably already posted but Bonner's turnovers was the most by an individual player since 2012.

Oh boy, have I seen this movie before over all the years I've followed the Saints. The two clubs I dislike the most are Geelong and Essendon (yep not Collingwood). Despite a few wins against them in recent seasons they both seem to hold the wood over us. So what's happened so far. Two close...

Over the years it's always seemed we've gone into games against this mob as the favorites. On far too many of them they've rolled us. For that reason alone I'm always wary when we play them. The Pies last night franked our form but the Bombers were good against against Sydney last week. Our...

It might spell an end of the increasingly popular term used by clubs, "Managed." They might have to invent another one to stop the obvious public speculation in the future.

No, that would be unfair to Melbourne. They should at least be entitled to Paddy McCartin. After all, that's who they should've got.

Misson had a great record last time he was with us anyway. Hardly any soft tissue injuries. We always seem to get the worst end of the injury scenarios. It seems players from other clubs can have a suspected broken leg but miraculously are okay to play the next week. We have someone with a...

The only thing that would've made the Higgin's goal better was if there were only 30 seconds to go and we were 5 points down.

Hewett gets a fine for an off ball straight arm, closed first punch to the jaw region of his opponent. Obviously there was no risk of concussion..... hmmm!

While I agree with that, I think Joe Daniher is an interesting case. I've never, ever been a fan of his but I think he's a much more dangerous proposition now they are using him up the ground. He's mobile and such a hard match up as well as being a lovely field kick. He's gone from being a hit...

Dees obviously didn't learn their lesson from Dunstan.

Sure, I understand the old "no precedents" chestnut the AFL roll out to defend their repeated inconsistent decision making. But I think their comment that I quoted doesn't really involve precedents, or at least it shouldn't. They clearly stated in Webster's case that it doesn't matter who the...

I couldn't agree more. I think the interesting thing in the AFL's rebuttal was in reference to Webster's good character "a hit from a good character doesn’t land any softer than one from a bad character." Bingo! Surely this must be extrapolated to also mean that a hit from a "star" player...

Rewatch the Hunter Clark - Mackay incident that broke Clark's jaw and stuffed his season. No penalty for Mackay. A different type of incident admittedly but we always seem to be on the wrong end of controversial decisions. Never underestimate the power of the media. The ex-player media hacks at...

Saints should've shown replays of Webster's fearless attack on the ball in recent years where he's always come off second best including facial fractures. It's understandable why he'd turn his body to protect himself. Admittedly the jumping in the air motion looks damning but that's probably a...

Could never understand why North got rid of Rhys Shaw. Now there was an inspired coach selection. They should've given him another 5-6 years to show his stuff. A legend in the making. Actually one of the worst coaching choices in living memory.

Cordy was recruited as a stop gap and that's exactly what he is. Despite the hate for Doogs on here it's a bad game for him to miss. Can see Hawkins and Cameron giving Cordy the run around. Still got vivid memories of his sub par performance in the GWS final. Any team we field this year with...

That's one of my biggest gripes about the media. Just watch the difference when one of their love children does something that's suspension worthy. Straight away they'll talk the incident down, trying to downgrade the classification to grade it in the realm of a fine. Saying things like "we...

Rapt that Enright has re-signed. Despite our love for Banga, Lenny and BJ I think Enright is more important. A new contract might not mean a lot if a senior gig comes up as teams tend to let their assistants go in that case. But it's great he's recommited to the Saints anyway. Got a lot of time...
