The Saints have added a bit of toughness around the ball plus the run and gun has another pre-season under the belt.

They look pretty good.

easy to forget that the aints were in finals in 2023, losing an elimination final at home (well, the mcg) to gw$ before having a shocking start to 2024

their transition football is fun to watch

two entertaining games on at the moment

pear coming home with a rattle and a bang

I really like the current Saints team. Skills and composure way ahead of ours, though that’s not saying much.

great win for the saints

harmes with a goty contender

We’re no good right now obviously but I’m so glad I don’t go for West Coast. Been garbage for 4 years now and still not looking even remotely competitive.

flagmantle running on top of the ground was super in that quarter

Loving the aints win... Ross Lyon astute coach, DOESN'T SUFFER FOOLS gladly, I met him once, sized me up pretty quickly and I went away liking the man! has respect of the team, has good structures in place, and a great coaching dialogue. Swears a bit though!

Freo on Easter Saturday might be a significant event for the club.

Could be worse than last year if we don’t find some form quickly.

Scary to think that they beat us by 15 goals last year when we were still a semblance of a competent side.

Very, not looking forward to playing Hawthorn either.

LJ is rather important to Fremantle.

Top 5 ball winners today for GWS, wouldn’t be many wasted possessions between them - what a glorious luxury.

This one is far worse, as Greene looked at Owies before tunnelling him and then Owies is completely upended, landing on his head. This was extremely dangerous. Greene could have pulled out.

Now the old boys are saying “what could Toby have done”? Pulled out for a start.

This is the difference in the media.

Fritta canned and people looking for a suspension and with Toby, trying to get him off.

I [censored] hate the media and tribunal

Gus. Oh, Gus. My heart is still rent in twain.

Good win by stkilda. They've had a good few weeks & beaten Geelong & now gone to Adelaide & knocked off Port.

Ross is doing something right

I would hope that Brad Gwen and Steven Smith are putting together a very small committee to look at potential coaching and football staffing appointments.

Things are not right.

But it is what it is !

if we have no improvement in the next 8-10 games. Pull the trigger urgently. Not for this year but next. Need to have the next coach and JT and his team all using the same songbook.

Waiting until the last few games waste most of next year. Done that for at least 3 years treading water not going anywhere.

I do hope we can beat the bombers

But what about the in depth review ? Wasn't that supposed to fix things

They flicked Pert who wasn't the main problem probably Pert was trying to highlight the real problems and got the boot instead

Yes you might be right. Unless we/ you are part of the “inner circle”. We are never going to know, and then if it’s put up on here, someone will say it’s only heresay and you/ we are making it up. Fake news has a lot to answer for, and never takes responsibility. But if sure seems things have been “crook” for a while. All the time sayings things are fine.
