Hey guys - let’s not get too precious and carried away. I know (and agree wholeheartedly), we do get a lot of crap from the press and particularly the channel 10 commentary team, but this time I thought it was quite good. The article started like this: The reason St Kilda pushed Luke Ball to the p...

His comments in the form guide: .... Sydney was spectacular against St. Kilda, robbed by some disgraceful umpiring. Didn't the Swans get 11 more free kicks?? They also bleated last year when they lost by 1 point, didn't they? Seems to me that every time St. Kilda wins by a small margin, it's because...

Wlle done boys - eat your heart out Quatrbrain and company.

Peake........Point...9 points the difference Just tuned in channel ten to watch the game and listening to Quaterbrain and Walls I thought Sydney was well in front!!! Well, it seems the Saints are still in front, but they carry on as aif Sydney was THE team and should win. They seem to be willing Sy...

With all due respect GSG, you can't just ring up the day before & order another half a dozen food vans. There is an awful lot of planning that goes into these types of events & it is very hard to get it right on no's. & the weather, so no matter what you do, people will still complain. ...

[quote="doggerel The food vans and kids rides queues were just as bad. My guess is that the event setup would have been just okay if only about 25% of actual numbers turned up. I have no idea if the club was taken by surprise at the numbers, or if this is standard fare. But the OP is right, dra...

Hey, we should be happy that Quagterbrain is going for the Bullies. This means we're acatually a threat, and the underdogs need support. Anyway, the bullies can win this game - it' doesn't mean anything. Only very few teams win both, the NAB cup and the Grand Final. For the Saints it's a bit of a ji...

I The third time saw him shoved quite strongly off the track and into the brush. Don't mess with me. .DON'T No, no, no under no circumstances use violence. I would have just smiled and congratulated him on his good taste and quietly jogged on. I’m sure he would not have sung the song. ….oh, I f...

No doubt, they absolutely stuffed up and we lost. But the whole point is …. had the goal not been paid, this would have meant that Geelong too was kicking inaccurately, particularly so close to the goal, and doubt could have crept into their minds. Also, no goal, no middle bounce, but a kick in, w...

My predictions. Geelong will still be very good. They got the same age players as the Saints and are not quite ready for the slide south. Carlton will get better - they have to, with all their first round draft picks, Judd and Fev (they won’t get rid of him) and some talented young players Essendo...

Glad to hear that - I need some reassurance!!

What worries me a bit more about …. There is always next year ….. are the other teams. A lot of them will be much better, i.e. Carlton, Essendon, even the Bullies. And let’s not forget the Hawks. They had a lousy year, but make no mistake, they’ll be back in 2010. They’ll be a very hard te...

I'm starting to get sick of this. All the talk is about the umpiring and the poor ol dogs. When will the dogs have a look at themselves and realise they are mentally WEAK!!! There recent history is littered with choking on the big stage,or being 'unlucky losers'. 97- they whinged about the Libber g...

Posted: Thu 17 Sep 2009 5:05pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In fairness to the club, I don't think they are able to instruct ticketmaster to distinquish between social club and foundation social club. Yes they can. My card clearly say...

Agree - has nothing to do with being a good supporter.
The reality is if they play like this, they're out in straight sets!!
Very, very disappointing.

I cannot believe what I’m reading here - Schneider the Scapecoat!! So Schneider did a stupid thing, but these Umpires are supposed to be PROFESSIONALS, not influenced by a player’s petulance. If a free needs to be paid, then it MUST be paid. It should NOT be overlooked because an umpire feels sl...

Ironic as a couple of years ago I would have just been happy to be in the mix...to be competative...just seems now that nothing less than a premiership or at least a grand final appearance will do to satisfy the expectation that this incredible season has created Probably feel the same, but let’s...

Great story and congratulations.

Maybe this has nothing to do with football, but, as a life-long Peanuts fan, Snoopy sitting on his doggy house with the Saints logo on it made my deay!

Keep it up Snnopygirl.

Guys get a grip on it. If we lose, then we’re really in trouble. Sydney has only won 7 games, the last one very unconvincingly against Melbourne! No Barry Hall, and Michael O’Loughlin not as effective as he used to be. Travel to Sydney – 1 hour flight - give me a break. And … a small ground....

I don’t give a flying flick whether the free kick count was 50:1 in favour of the Saints. If a 50 needs to be paid, then it has to be paid, particularly a blatant one when Reiwoldt was thrown to the ground. I still think the umpires try to influence the game sometimes. And this can happen to ALL t...

I’m not too fussed about losing, but what worries me is that Ross Lyon insisted on sending the team unchanged to the West. Hot weather, bigger ground, tough game last week and shorter week than the Weagles and, again, shorter week than Adelaide for next week. Also, tired players are much more pron...

Michael Gardiner - technically yes, but we didn't pick him, got him as a recycled player. This hardly counts as a No. 1 draft pick for St. Kilda.

I think Bruce just needed to justify the three recent ones for Carlton, two they got legitimately and one they tanked for in 2007.

Bruce McAvaney proclaimed on Friday night that both teams had three No. 1 draft picks. For the life of me I can only count 2 for St. Kilda - Riewoldt and Goddard. Am I wrong??

Cheats never prosper? Yes they do but as much as it seems everyone hates Carlton here they did win 14 flags before they cheated. I wish we could be half as good. Actually I dont care how many we have won as long as we win this year. Yes, they did win 14 flags, but remember, they always were the pro...

Agree! Clarke Gwilt and as much as I hate to say this Baker time to be dropped I've found Bakes and Gwilt have been ok today. Gwilt is doing a decent job as a third leading forward. Raph Clarke is a spud. He is pathetic. Turnovers, slow decisions, bad skills, he has the lot. He's been outmarked/bea...
