Re: Changes for next week
I didn't see the first half of Sandy v Coll, but in the second half the outstanding efforts came from Campbell (throughout) and Hastie (in several brilliant flashes). Schoenmaker did most of his good work in the first half, apparently. Butler, Caminiti, etc, did virtually nothing in the 2nd. So Butl...

Re: I would like everyone's honest opinion
I think we can win, but with our outs at the moment I think we'll go down by 2 or 3 goals.
Or worse.

Re: Webster appalling
Maynard's collision was the aftermath of him actually trying to smother the ball. Jimmy's was just a bad decision to jump in and crunch the player. That said, I'm still a fan of Jimmy's -- one of the truly courageous footballers around. I feel sure he was aiming at a hip and shoulder encounter. But ...

I'm not on that list, but I've just paid for two shares I said I'd buy last week or so ago.
Hope there's still something in Mr Magic's pool.
Thanks for underwriting like that.

Re: Super Bowl thread
It is a bizarre game -- hard to know how it evolved into what it is and actually survived.
It's almost the opposite of footy, but it's the only other football code I'll watch.
It's brilliant, in tiny bursts. With amazing technical analysis and crazy palaver packed all around it.

Re: Something Personal
Sadly didn't get to 1913 either -- 1965 was the first game of footy I ever saw. Trained it down from Canberra overnight with my dad. He only just missed 1913, so he had to be there. By the end I was completely dumbfounded that Essendon wouldn't just let us win. That was a lesson in life. Saw '66 -- ...

We'll, in the end he'll sink or swim based on his own motivation. Will be an interesting watch at Sandringham this season. Every year there are highly rated draftees who never make the transition from U18 to AFL. Some can't hack the workload, some can't hack the discipline, and some can't hack the ...

Re: Nicky Winmar Autobiography
I've only just started it -- a Xmas present.
It really is an excellent read.
Nicky Winmar was my all-time favourite Saint -- truly a genius footballer.
Matt Hardy is a genius collaborator, getting Nicky's story down on paper.
Brilliant, clear storytelling, from the best.

Re: Mason wood
Yep it was a great conversation to listen to. Mason Wood opening up and saying so much interesting and intelligent stuff. The interviewer guy's an enthusiast -- probably interrupting and over-engaging a little too much -- but he set up a nice rapport, which is what made Mason Wood so listenable to. ...

I support our Saints W team and I expect news and views on them to be fully a part of this website. They play in the W league, and just like with the M league, sometimes when something really big happens in footy, it comes up here, even if not Saints related.

Re: Famous saints numbers
Some people have numbers that suit them -- their favourite numbers (like Phillipou's 25), or ones that remind them of their modest beginnings or their famous forebears (like Wilkie's 44, Sinclair's 35) No reason to change those. Henry can probably choose whichever he likes -- 23, for continuity, or ...

What do you make of him flying to Germany right now, in the middle of trade period.
No trade? Club's blessing? Contract awaits?

Re: Gresham
I hate losing any players we've valued in the past -- a mass exodus feels sad, and bad!
But you can also look at it as a number of highly credentialed players leave because they can't get a game in the side.
Which indicates good!
