Yep - was there with the crew and BOY, WERE WE HAPPY!!
Still nursing a sore throat today.
Took along a Pommie mate - now a keen Sainter too after last night!
Great effort.

Just got mine today - fantastic!!
Opened pages at random - brought many memories back, good and bad.
Love it!

Saints end is Lockett end - aisle 25.
Hope you're at the Saints end or might be a bit feral - but perhaps you can knick Joffa's gold jacket.
GO SAINTS!!!

Not ticketed - walk up sales for level 3 general admission - but Saints website advises getting there early.
I will be there with my tribe.
GO SAINTS!!!

Just saw 2 clear shepherds in the ruck against Richmond which enabled Freo to get the ball in the forward line and then get the winning goal. They had 2 ruckmen contesting but allowed to do so. Where is the consistency in the umpiring?
They really need to look at this!!!

Hi Sainters, Saw in the Hun that Fat Eddie will have a bunch of goons with him to provide an "all Collingwood" commentary option on Fox Footy this weekend - "pres red for Ed" - here's the link: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/teams/eddie-mcguire-will-lead-an-all-collingwood-comme...

the MCG is where finals get played, we do need to keep playing there.[/quote]


I agree with this statement - we need to be able to play at the G and learn to play well there.
Can only help us to get more experience there for when we play finals.

I feel your pain brother, but I haven't written us off just yet - maybe in a couple of weeks after the NZ trip I might have the hope knocked out of me. I am angry at how our past recruiting under Ross has left us - but if we'd won the big prize I wouldnt care too much. There's a lot to love about th...

Hi All, I reckon the journo has been reading this forum in the last week or so. His "frank" assessment of our drafting and prospects seem to have come from many of the comments posted on SS in the last week or so. Is it plagiarism or just "facts" that anybody could see? Personall...

Was at the game today - and the Cats play team-footy really well and their young guys follow the script and attack the footy, tackle hard and back up with second efforts. We need time - as well as a bit of faith - in Scott Watters. He is not only trying to rejuvenate the list but is also working on ...

Can't blame the conditions for us being 2nd to the ball and being smashed in clearances. We will now have to play catch-up because of a lack of desire and hard-work. Can't blame the conditions for that. I'm going to see Saints v GWS in Canberra in 2 weeks and if things don't change quickly we might ...

Welcome back Mr Magic.
Thanks for organising - and thanks to your stand-in during your absence.
Go Saints!!

I was waiting to see if the frog would reappear.

We as a club need to to keep earning respect, and keep winning, and that's one way to boost membership. I still think the club is not marketing itself as well as it could. Clubs with strong memberships like Richmond, Geelong, Hawks to name a few, seem to be out there a lot more in public pushing me...

I reckon we'll end up 5th to 8th with 12-15 wins.
I think we are on the improve and then we will be right in it in 2014.
Am very pleased with the way that the clubs heading and think Watters is great.
Go Saints!!

You're probably right Dr S - he certainly regularly had his head bandaged up.....maybe too much pressure build up.

Thanks P66 - Hope he's ok - strange that he wasn't listed as injured though.
Do you know what his injury was/is?

Hi Sainters, Am happy with how things are looking so far - lots of competition for spots and many young players putting in. One thing that concerns me, though, is that Simpkin seems to be completely invisible. Is there any reason for this? I thought he was a real "find" for us last year an...

Thought he wasn't too bad as well, and his kick for goal against the pies was great - although he hit the post with his next shot from a tough angle. I'm in 2 minds about Goddard - I'd like to wish him well but I don't want to see him be too successful. I think we will miss him but I think we alread...

Yep - my innards are telling me that we are in for a good one.
I think we'll surprise many doubters this year.
Go Saints!!

That's the beauty of the Internet SaintPav - you can be anything you want to be.
What I definitely am though is a mad Sainter.

Firstly, which club is it and which substances? This, not only let's players off but, as they don't get tested, they could confess to minor drug use but instead be 'roiding up like crazy. There's a difference between recreational drugs and performance-enhancing. I'm pretty sure the recreational tes...

Hi All - not long now til those Sainters are playing again. There have been a couple of articles in The Age about drug use by players and the fact that if players "self report" they don't get a "strike" and aren't tested. The articles reckon It is one club that is benefitting fro...

I'm in for 5 shares MM - payment by direct deposit online done.
Happy to continue to sponsor those players.
Thanks for organising.
Regards,
Go Saints!!

Are you having a laugh?? From the AFL link - Joyce was a well-liked member of the squad, having been drafted by the Crows at pick No.46 at last year's NAB AFL Draft having previously served as the club's mascot and junior development officer. He could be useful if our mascot gets injured!! 8-) Go S...
