Hard to believe someone like Lethlean would steer the ship asunder.

I thought you and some other posters were praising Saints last year on their recruiting and how they have done so well?

AFL had to hide him somewhere after the alledge incident
I would be disgusted as a StKilda fan. Not even bother to sign up next year
The players now have probably lost respect for management, when their head of their organisation says that .
Any of their players we can pickup when their moral is down ?

Thanks for bringing that up BAD!
I was praising them last season. They were playing much better than expected. But I always thought their recruiting was a little suss and short-sighted. It was never going to get them much past 6th. We're going for a flag. Multiple. They're trying to get attention by making a final. In the back of my mind I was hoping for this drop off as I didn't believe they had gone about their list build the right way. I'm just surprised the drop came this early. Injuries haven't helped them (they have zero depth) and Coffield and Long haven't come on. I still think they did well to bring in Howard, Ryder and Butler. With the impact Martin has had for us, imagine what Ryder could have done. Howard would have been a nice option down back and Butler, well I was suspect of his form last season but credit to him, he was almost AA and we were crying out for a small forward. Remember last season we were desperate for a ruck, KPD and small forward. Each of those guys had a large impact for the saints last year. I was complimentary of those recruits but not their overall list build.
Things have changed dramatically for both them and us this year. We look a completely different outfit to the meek and mild one from the EF last season. The saints are better than they are going this season but I never thought their list was better than ours. Ours is built for the long haul. Theirs is poorly built to win now, despite what their president is saying.

Lie.
It’s accurate and succinct.

The one that annoys me is when someone says "I was talking to them on the phone and they turned around and said to me"
If you are talking on the phone how do you know that they turned around?

Those posters who speak about Billing’s. The only thing that could be worse is if people began writing Caleb Daniel’s.

Oh ha ha. Yes I agree. You may proceed.
