This, from The Rubiyat of Omar Khyam, the brilliant Persian poet from over a thousand years ago. Still relevant today. "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it." I thi...

Another cold hard fact is that Saints supporters have convinced themselves to be optimists.

What does that even mean?
Talks in monologue/riddles at press conferences like some great guru.
If you don't understand you must be stupid!

I wish he'd finish a sentence before he starts on another.

And yet he trained last Thursday and wasn't limping, but who knows, he might have had his knee juiced so he could run.

Box Hill win by 5 points.
87 to 82.

Caminiti goals, Sandy 3 points in front 25.30 minutes into the last term.

Only 3 points the diff.

3 Qtr Time Score,
Box Hill 11 - 6 - 72 v Sandy 6 - 16 - 52

Half Time.

Scores Box Hill 10 - 4 - 64 v Sandy 3 - 11 - 29

The commentator said any Saints supporter who was looking for players to come into the Saints team will be disappointed, there's no one stepping up today.

Caminiti kicked his first goal after a nice mark.

He has taken another mark and kicked a point from 48 mtrs out.

Scores Box Hill 10 - 4 - 64 v Sandy 3 - 10 - 28
@ 25minute mark of 2nd Qtr.

Ask RTB, he's running the show, you can see in his presser that he's embarrassed by his ineffectiveness, hence, he talks out of his chute.

It's a 4 year plan, further back than he hoped i would guess.

who saints taking for mid season draft Max Benier has been called up from the VAFA to debut in the VFL amid talk St Kilda has its eyes on the defender ahead of the mid-season draft. We don’t have a list spot do we? Unless Van Es goes to the long term injury list That might be what's happening, but ...

Regards the interesting list i think Heath is most vulnerable to being delisted. I'm not convinced he's good enough.

The year end delistings will tell me what the club thinks.

Max Benier has been called up from the VAFA to debut in the VFL amid talk St Kilda has its eyes on the defender ahead of the mid-season draft.

It was interesting at training on Thursday seeing SOS working with Arie and 2 other players on their defensive techniques, body positioning etc.

Well done shrodes.

VETERAN St Kilda coach Ross Lyon believes restrictions on AFL runners delivering on-field messages have left coaches feeling like "neutered dogs". The Saints suffered their fourth loss in their past five games against Hawthorn on Saturday in Launceston, going down by five points in a scrap...

Someone should send a letter to the President and ask him does he think his plan will bear fruit before Tassie suck the life out of the near future's talent pool ? Explain this point further for me. Do you seriously think we are that far off we will still be going to the draft with top end picks in...

Based on current form i'd suggest they change his nickname to Stinx.

Crouch took part in training on Thursday, didn't look to be favouring his knee, but i couldn't see if he was training with gritted teeth.

Lost by 5 points.
