Twice in 1st half Rich runner impeded play to detriment of StKilda-1 resulted in goal. Why did NO umpire take action - thought this meant a free kick. The 2nd time virtually meant saints player shepherded from play - think it was X or Raph.

While I think Raph is a natural as a forward and should be played there, still think a lot of the things he does go unnoticed by many Saints "fans".
Thought his efforts helped contribute to our win.

Great article by Tim Lane in today's Sunday Age! Roo was off play - it was unduly rough play - but it's ok, just a St.Kilda player. On radio call said at one stage Kosi reported by emerg ump - have others heard more about this? Does anyone have any idea what the free kick to Simmonds was for in fwd ...

To keep it simple for you plugger66 just go back to my comment on 2 of thread.

After talking to a Hawks fan who told me what a great job the Tigs did on Buddy - leading him way out & blocking fwd line - another big forward at least adds to the mix - believe this will be make or break for the G-Train. - to reply to some other comments, Ralphy you should BE there, NOT watchi...

Give him a go! Would rather see young ,enthusiastic player out there than Rix. Coach should give him his chance and tell him to just go out there and enjoy and learn from the experience.

Yes, Freo were in front when siren went But umps didn't hear it, play continued until they were told - AFL used video evidence and rightfully awarded game to Freo. Swans had 19 on field, the 1 who should have come off involved in play that resulted in point to draw game (could well have been goal to...

Couldn't agree more - Bark's should have won a Brownlow - was so underestimated because he was in a bottom side. If current players had half these guys committment and courage we'd be in the top 4. Trevor Barker was St.Kilda!!!!

Roo on Footy Classified tonight.

AGREE! But it's the Swans so Nothing will happen!

Would love to see us playing with the same passion as Richmond!!!!!

McEvoy again in best for Casey - should have been given a go - told to go out, do your best, learn from the experience - both he & the club would benefit!

Never doubted Harves, but great to see thedud so positive!

It's early days after both Ball & Judd have had their ops & are both starting to progress footy wise - bet both are flying mid-season onwards. Hope Luke Ball's detractors end up with egg all over their faces

From the replay I saw & NOT the highlighted incident there is NO WAY X WAS IN/NEAR PLAY - he was just following play with eyes ONLY only ball - which was just what he should have been doing - West's hit cowardly/not in the course of play & reportable! But it's ok - only Saints - they'll do/s...

Have now replied to at least 3 threads - X - only has eyes on ball & play , West only has eyes on player! - ball at least 15 - 20m away - cowardly & reportable - but it's ok - only a Saint - they won't complain ! Reverse situation bet X would have been cited. It's only Saints players such as...

Have replied in another thread BUT - Kosi - eyes only on ball , taken out -Cowardly - Saints pay- no charge! Ball - eyes only on ball, yes in play but Whelan going for man not ball - cowardly - Saints pay - no charge! X - eyes only on the ball - taken out - no charge!! In view of some recent past ch...

Would rather have enthusiastic , inexperienced kids out there than someone like Fiora - has not performed well this season,including NAB Cup. We all talked about our depth pre-season, - well the match committee has to bite the bullet - drop poor performers & promote those doing well - take away ...

Was about to start a familiar thread - so pleased I did a mini check. Am angry with Saints fans criticising X's "lack of vision" . just as I was furious with "experts" querying Kosi's "lack of vision vs Doggies!!! "Always keep your eyes on the ball", "play the...

:lol: Am enjoying this thread but want to now post some replies - - am 60 Oct this year, when do you turn 60 Peanut? -am a female who has "confessed?" her age. - went to Bentleigh West(preps), Ormond East & McKinnon High(was school captain in '66 :!: :lol: ). My earliest memory is wait...

Am 60 this year and while I am grateful I was there in '66 would love to really celebrate another ( was doing the equivalent to the VCE then and missed post game celebrations - plus too stunned to fully take in we'd finally Won one!!!).

Haven't seen any ref. to it on any thread - but how about Harves's pass into space on forward line that "drilled" Saint & resulted in a goal - in 3rd .quart.? He is a Champion!!!!- and holds his head up high on all aspects of the game!!!
