It's easy to say "I told you so" but I always had the feeling Gram was a lose cannon and his recent behavior proves that ! What amazes me is the court believes he has an alcohol problem - how the flick can that happen in the current day so called professional environment ? I believed the ...

me too......blakey told us years ago that he was 191cm and bj claimed to be over 192cm.....both listed as 189cm.....doesn't matter about bj any longer but they could get blake right....

Yep - I'm with you on that too Dr S

Hi Sainters, Didn't take long to erase the delisted players from our official website - no Gram on Monday and no Raph on Tues night! Ruthless efficiency!! A bit sad, but that is the reality and they are no longer Saints. Quite a few vacant spots. Let's hope we fill 'em with some decent picks - alrea...

Any idea who?
This is all we need.....No wonder The Age sponsors us - we give them so many news stories.
Had thought we'd left all this kind of crap behind. Need to wait for more details but very disappointing, especially with the new membership campaign just starting.
Not happy Jan....

I must admit, in the lead-up to this last week of trade the majority of forumites seemed quietly confident 'The Pelican' had a few cards hidden up his sleeve, reassuring all that we'd see some action. TDL for 47. I don't know. After the loss of Goddard I was kind of expecting/hoping for something b...

I'm OK with this. Essentially, we have used pick 13 to "draft" a player who has a lot of potential (and shown some of it), is a bit more mature and ready to go and should have a number of years ahead. Of course, draft picks are always a bit hit or miss - but I reckon that this deal provide...

Hi Sainters,
Here are "my boys" - they greet all visitors to our house and leave no doubt about where our loyalty lies.
Go Saints!!

ps - thanks for the tip about loading pics Sainter K.

Hi SainterK - how do i post photos in the message?

Hi Sainters, AFL website says Cats have it tough with 3 6-day breaks to start next year. http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/150061/default.aspx How many in a row did we have? Don't recall any official acknowledgement that it was tough for us! I'm sure it had an adverse effect on...

I like it too - hope more Sainters jump on board.
Go Saints!

That's a real bummer.
I've just found the old footy boots and was starting the motivational music getting ready for the game.
Count me in for sure next time. - as well as my 18 year old son.

I would agree with both camps. A few wins in the close games and it would have been a different story. However, I always find that blaming the umpire doesn't really give much comfort - we should win with our own efforts and not have to rely on umpiring decisions to go our way to win. I think we have...

Team mates of both would beg to differ... Mitchell is possibly the best mid in the best team.... Likely to win their B&F Selwood is a top line mid..... No doubt about that..... Likely to win Geelong B&F If I was asked to compare Rioli and Selwood it would be a quick an easy decision I hoped...

He's usually a good kick. What he REALLY needs to improve is his one touch overhead marking. Needs to go to Dempster school. Reckon it's a matter of time - has had a lot of missed time this season with injury so will get better for sure if all goes well. Think he's going to be a good one for the mi...

I don't reckon we are "tanking" at all. I think that with the realisation that finals were almost impossible, then the decision has been made to look at 2013 and get some players injuries sorted early to enable them to be ready for preseason and to get some time into our younger players. T...

The real question is where did he see the Saints finishing at the start of the year? just remember this last year we made the 8 with 12 wins this year we will have a minimum of 11 wins / possibly 12 and miss out injuries to good players eg chips, schneids, rhys,macca,blakey,etc.... no dawson first ...

The missus organised the family holiday to Tassie whilst I was heading home from the game!!
Haven't been away in September for ages.
Sad way to finish - but Tassie should be nice.

He calls us the aints Nuff said When did he call us that? I didnt see it at all. Yes - I saw that too. It was on The Age website as a headline under a pic of Roo. Not sure if he called us that though or the editorial staff who come up with these. Anyway, grabbed my attention - so headline worked BU...

Yes - but who would we drop?
GO SAINTERS!!

Made my day when I found out.
Thanks Mr M and the "selection panel"
GO SAINTS!!

I think you're right - but I think we need 5 from 6 to make it but Freo has a reasonable run home and even if we do win that many, they could keep us out. Freo has Port (away), WCE, Crows(away), Tigers (Home), North (away) and Melb (home) - 3 of those 6 should be wins and they would be a good chance...

I agree. Gwilty really struggled. I thought his first game back, against the Swans, wasn't too bad but he just wasn't up to the pace and pressure of the Tigers. Does he need more time at Sandy, or can you only get that pressure experience in the AFL? Will be interesting to see what choices are made ...

Hi Sainters, Read this article on the Saints website: http://www.saints.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5315/newsid/137724/default.aspx "AFTER emerging from a tough five-week block with just two wins, St Kilda is close to capturing its best form, according to defender James Gwilt." Is this t...

Hi Sainters, I've worried about our lack of ruckmen for a long time - and no sign that the club was trying to fix it. Looks like Watters understands and will tackle this. From the Age: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/saints-need-ruck-lift-from-blake-and-co-20120513-1ykuo.html Shame he wasn't r...

7:40 pm start is too late and at least last year they had it on an earlier time slot. I did not vote to have Monday night games. Members should get a say about this. Agree on the timeslot. It should be 7:10. Make the TV put it on delay.: I'm with you Mr. Misso - game should be earlier and would be ...
