build it, they will come. Well it won't be built so they won't even get a chance to come. More chance of Eddie McGuire taking a dump on a Collingwood jumper than the Saints ever again playing at the Junction Oval (or anywhere in St Kilda) More chance of Billy Longer racking up a 60 posession, 8 goa...

Sounds like the mutual synergies of sharing a venue are a very good thing.

Rodge', maybe you were at the 'scary Davenport' match at the 'G in 1991? (Or was it 1992?) 90000-odd crowd, with an estimated 20000 turned away. (My mob arrived late, but waltzed straight in - to the Ponsford Stand. Whilst everyone was trying to check out the then brand new Great Southern Stand. :l...

Fixing our pathetic conversion rate in front of goal should have been priority number 1, 2 and 3 before the 2018 season. Clearly it was not, which IMO is one of the biggest crosses against Richo. How many games have we lost over the last 2 seasons purely on conversion? Every second week it seemed w...

We gross only $2 million. How much of that do we pocket though? What do we net though??? And then, there's the other side of the financial ledger. - The cost of those years in the outer Siberian wilderness, for starters. - Interest paid on that $10 million debt. (Lets say conservatively 6% p.a. That...

Our big chance to turn history around was in 1997 - Big crowds, momentum, playing the weakest of the likely opponents - and luck just didn't go our way. I agree. Modra's injury aside (Shanahan always had him covered), and even without Lazar or that other bloke :wink: , come the end of the second Pr...

... as for the topic of lightning rods... I'm more seeing a master class being given in the art of fishing.

We really are getting desperate.

(Lots of good stuff left out for brievity reasons.) ... I should also add my impression of him is strongly influenced by what I’ve been told by a friend who worked with the playing group and Richardson from 2014 - 2016. The reports he gave me about Richardson’s M.O are borne out in our dismal perfor...

Hi Ted. I was wondering, what do you base those assessments on? For mine, our new 'coaching help' still doesn't do it for me. Lade? His record re what happened at the Tuggers... when he left (they suddenly went up), and Teal Turkeys when he arrived (they went down, despite significant recruiting of ...

Overall, our recent history stacks up damn well against the monied mobs. (I think that during the GT and Ro$$y years we had the best win/loss ratio in the comp'...?) The painful problem is highlighted in the fourth-last category from Rodger's 'further expansion'. :cry: A classic case. Worst record b...

And whilst I'm at it, and I know that some others have already expressed these sentiments, but... can anyone show me any highlights footage which shows any indication as to why some people would think King (either of them) will be the next Buddy Franklin, let alone and worth risking a top 4 pick on?...

Good to hear that Gags and team have factored the return of several injured players into our 2019 planning. When the going got tough in 2018, we missed the toughness of the likes of Koby Stevens ... :? I agree with the earlier post... seems some people have commented without having listened to the p...

Both very worth a look IMHO. And whilst we're at it - bring back Ray C, and the Freeman! All four have way way more going for them than most of the plodders whose names have been thrown up on here over the draft period... and that's without mentioning a couple on our list who (somehow) survived the ...

The JO is the home of Cricket Victoria, specifically set up for CV, with administrative HQ, community facilities and state of the art indoor and outdoor training facilities....

That's being way too humble Teddy. Your middle name is actually 'God's gift'.

Pokies gouging money from the poor has become too on the nose even for those HGH abusing moral bankrupts at Skunkland.

Says it all really.

Shame on you Saintas!!!

Townsville? The place of my birth. The Strand aside, what a hole it is!!! (Magnetic Island aside too, as I guess that technically that's part of Townsville.) I was back there two Julys ago for a nephew's wedding. Palmer Street??? Saturday night??? Could have walked out of the reception with a Donald...

IMHO some people on here are way too hard on you Lazar. You're actually a most reasonable man.

Hey, Bluthy even got to pick which Saudi embassy you'd drop him off at.

So, this year's finalarseists... Hillbillies - desperately trying to hold on and not embrace shifting to rebuild mode. Ladder position flattered by their home ground advantage - again. Dawks - see Hillbillies, minus the home ground advantage. Wogans - underachievers. Not helped by ordinary coach, an...

Can the Saints bring sexy back? The new president, Andrew Bassat, was briefly part of the eccentric Butterss regime. As the co-founder [with his brother Paul] of Seek, he’s a left-field entrepreneur and strategic thinker who needs to remake the Saints into a club that can – once again – attract pla...

Thank you Sam! One of the all time most underrated players IMHO. The fact that you were one of our best in both those 2010 GFs says a hellova' lot! :idea: - You helped turned things around when things were rapidly going shyte in the second half of the drawn game. - You were our shining light when th...

Do we really need a Director of Coaching anyway???

Same goes for many of the 'line coaches'.

As I remarked in my earlier post on this topic: While I won’t sign an online petition, I understand the passion and frustration that drives Sainternist to put this up as an option. I’ve met Sainternist on a couple of occasions at the footy, and he absolutely bleeds red white & black. I’m on a d...
