Can't really see it happening, but just how good would it be to see a Freo upset this week? Cats out in straight sets, then to have Bomber blame it on the umps again. Freo beat them in Subi this year, and strange things happen come September. But yeah, very unlikely. I'd be happy playing either team...

I'm almost starting to hate Geelong players, coaches and supporters more than the filth - see what a little bit of success does?! Don't worry St Ick, that feeling won't last too long :D I did say almost... :lol: But gee I reckon we've all got a (Cats supporter) mate who used to be reasonable when i...

I almost got into a blue with a Cats supporter in the MCC bar over that Gilbert holding the ball decision. Simple fact is that Geelong think they are bigger than the game now. Same thing happened after we beat them midyear, I think Ling got fined for umpiring comments and I am pretty sure Thompson h...

My thoughts, Riewoldt (Jack) didn't flourish until this year, that was after more than enough time getting a gig in the senior team, its this his 3rd or 4th year in the system? Watts was meant to be the next big thing, and Lynch was considered the second best forward in the same draft. Both haven't ...

If Fev gets the flick for his latest flashing indiscretion would we have another look at him ... I must admit I thought he would have complimented our team last time he was on the market ... I don't know if being a saints supporter as a kid would help him improve his behaviour because he would be p...

I also thought Mini was unlucky, when he was given about two seconds before the ump called play on and Ling tackled him....crowd free I reckon. Was that the square-up after the ball went out of bounds? Noticed the crowd made a big deal of the replay thinking it was deliberate - straight away after ...

There were a lot of shockers last night, holding the ball against Sammy Gilbert giving them a shot at goal (Sammy had no prior and collected it at full tilt), Stokes 'caught high', the Zac punch through called a goal, Mooney had a couple of soft ones, at one stage I think I counted about 5 shots at ...

This is funny, my throat is like razorblades, had to work today as well - which involves lots and lots of talking.... anyway, safe to say none of my customers could hear a thing I said today!

Nearly 24 hours later, I'm probably at about 30 or 40%.

I'll be in the members, didn't get a reserved seat but turning up @ 5 for a decent seat.

On another note, I just got my seats for the granny, level two on the flank which I'm stoked about. I'm there, now its time for the boys to join me, go Saints!!

Sammy Gilbert is very unlucky, he was no more inconsistant in the second half of the year than Enright who put in some shockers also. Unfortunately for Milne and Gilbert, the people who pick these squads have short memories and they both haven't been great over the past 4-6 weeks. When looking at ot...

Safe to say if Kosi and Zac are in our best players then we'll go a long way to winning most games we play. However.... I haven't the faith in Zac that a lot of others do. I'm going to sound like a broken record so wont list all my concerns with the way he plays, I'll just say, with a interupted pre...

Does anyone see a similarity between the Sainters and the Aussie cricket team when it comes to selections? I like Geartner, but isn't he a project player? As is Tommy obviously.

Both coming along really well I thought, if so, talk of delisting is ludicruos.

Sure the GC are going to take the majority of the top picks this year, but finishing near the top means we wouldn't have those top picks anyway. Lets get our recruiters to earn their money and pick some decent kids with our lower picks. Previous draft was supposed to be weak/compromised/whatever, bu...

I think we should go for Nick Davis... Talk him out of retirement and play him as our key forward with Roo and Kosi as decoys.... Not as silly as it sounds but Rooy and Kosi would still be the main men. Davis is a beautiful kick and would do a great job and he wouldnt cost anything. Oh no I think I...

What about Rooey's cousin? As in Jack's bro Charlie. With Jack's form, surely he is worth the punt. My number one priority if I was a selector would be a long penetrating kick on both sides. We keep going with players who have questionable kicking skills as they fill a gap elsewhere (ie pace, hard, ...

Hi All! I know he's been mentioned before, but on Adelaide news tonight it said he was seriously weighing up a move home to Melbourne, the only thing he was waiting for is the appointment of Port's new senior coach. Wasn't he a Saints supporter as a kid, we were going to take him until Carlton got ...

This is quite strange, I was talking to a mate of mine about Beetham this afternoon!! Anyway, I actually liked him when he played, first couple of games showed a little bit, but as has been said, obviously something wasn't on with him above the shoulders. A little like Justin Sweeney, didn't disgrac...

So to all of those doomsdayers a few weeks ago after we lost to Essendon, I guess the sun did come up the following day???

I will still back us in to win against anyone on our day and all we can do is be there. Difference between 1 and 4 means sfa now.

Clarifcation of the blocking rules: A block can result in a report, but only if you are a St Kilda player (Steven King, Steven Baker). Blocks applied to a St Kilda player in particular, are deemed non- reportable offenses (X Clarke and now, Dempster): "The panel acknowledged Warren had placed ...

Lynch named 2nd best for second week running after his pretty lowly stint in the ones is good to see. I dont quite understand why he plays the majority of his one game in the fwdline when he has been playing really well as a back in the twos (according to reports). I wouldn't want to unsettle the li...

.... the same way Cavens face made its way into Locketts forearm? When you look at similar hits, such as Buddy or Kosi this year, then it should get weeks but it will probably be ignored. I immediately thought weeks but it didn't even rate a mention with the commentators despite the free kick to Nor...

I'd like to be peaking in the Granny. No point peaking two weeks out from the finals, then falling apart in September. Who knows what really will happen in September, all we know is the same as we knew at the start of the season, there are four genuine condenders and on any given day, each of them h...

Stanley equals X factor. Both Patto and Stanley showed a little when they played, both showed they can't kick for goal - but there is just something about Rhys that screams screams excitement! Do you think we should run a book on how many times the commentators mention he won the grand final sprint?...

Must agree with this, unless someone with some serious upside comes on the market, I'm not interested in another fringe player clogging up our aging list.

A few drinks for Schneiderman in a sesh in the offseason, country boy isn't he? The man's legend is growing and if he keeps up his form on the field, give the man a drink!!
