What? At least 3 more games in Finals.......................

Well done Eastern. My daughter, known to grizzle if I ask her to stand up and walk a metre, loved it and filmed most of the march on her phone. The band had a Pied Piper effect; the more it played the more people joined the march. What could have been a display of daggyness became a show of soldarit...

Too many memories to single out a few. Other than to say his single biggest highlight to me is his ability to get electricity pumping through my nervous system every time he gets his hands on the ball in our forward line. An electrifying player; only Baldock, Winmar and, perhaps, Allan Davis have sh...

Ridiculous post.

Did as much as he could in the circs. Let's see what happens 8-) I was most impressed with Ledger, he probably had 3 possessions in the first two minutes he was on. Now, if there is anyone who contributes to this forum with any rational explanation of hard to explain things, eg, the Bermuda Triangl...

I know a club that desperately needs Dal's services.

StKilda.

I am sure he will retire a 300 game, 1 club legend of the StKilda Football Club. He has earnt that right.

As game as they come, only really good footballers can consistently take one-grab marks running back into packs.

Good lead and great pass though, pretty rare this year!

Took an uncontested mark then his opponent crashes into his back and take him to the ground, that is blatant time wasting every day of the week. Learn the rulles before you post, muppet!

Shenton should be playing.

Watters is struggling.

And Shenton's claim to fame is.....what?

We've badly missed Gilbert's run out of the backline this season, great that he's back. Need his height, run and experience down back.

Correction, I git sidetracked like everybody else. Ross Lyon was on the ABC, was he?

I would suggest that posters on this tread have another read of the subject before posting more rabid drivel on the pros and cons of Ross Lyon. It has been done to death; get over it and move on.

Now, for some real interest - WHAT DID ROSS LYON HAVE TO SAY ON SEN???????

There won't be too many changes because the cupboard is looking pretty bare at this end of the season.

Dare I suggest Ledger as a possible inclusion? Ross as well because outright leg speed is not a vital commodity on a small ground like the SCG.

Gwilt has stood Sandilands, Petrie and an assortment of guys who stand a head taller than him. I wonder why he struggled. He had an interrupted preseason and has been injured during the year. Fisher took the really tall players last year and wasn't able this season. Gilbert went down, Dempster has ...

Blakey was easily one of our best last night right from the first bounce. 100% disposal efficiency and numerous 1% efforts indicate his value. Gave heaps of leadership down back and added much needed height. He did a good job on roughead after half time. Interesting for me was we all know he has pla...

Tough player needed in tough times. Those who have a set on him can only have issues with his kicking.

You don't get rid of good players on grounds of a few clangers. Clint's a keeper.

The most ordinary sign was the piss-poor crowd - 24,746 at our home game against a top club that boasts 50,000+ members. We were still well outnumbered in the stands. It seems too many are content to sit home in front of the idiot box, listen to oracles-in-their-own-mind like BT and pass judgement o...

Agree with the tone of the thread entirely. I have been going to Saints matches since Baldock's first season; still have vivid memories as a young boy of the first match at Moorabbin. I've talked my boss into having a few hours off so I can drive home (1/2 hour) get my daughter out of school early (...

Whatever the supposed benefits, nothing has worked this season!

Could be worse, the headline could have read "Saints Charged With a Salt" or something worse. Lucky The Truth is long out of print!

I am happy with our level 3 reserved seats; absolutely disgusted that Etihad Stadium management choose to punt on the crowd size, get it wrong and don't have enough catering on the level 3 wing to cater for members who have already stumped-up extra for reserved seats. You cannot sell season reserved...

Another Taswegion saints star Baldock, Stewart, Howell, Lawrence, BREEN, Bonney Lot to thank the Apple Isle for... You'd think BREEN??? Wrong. Went to school at St Bedes. John Bonney's number 1 guernsey was handed over to an equally handy player named Barker when he retired. I'll never forget his &...

The Quiet Achiever just keeps on achieving. Quietly.

Normally, I'd go for 23,000. But Roo and Dal's 250ths should drag more if we are fair dinkum. Anything less than 25,000 would not be a crowd befitting tow giants of the Saints. No overlooking the greatly under-the-radar Sean Dempster's 150th. I'll go for 25,997 based on the missus, the nipper and me...

So, you are publicly endorsing the Saints chuck the game. Tank. Cheat. Commit fraud.

Unbelievable.

I see some hope in the next few years after todays game. We got close to the Swans, Collingwood, Richmond and West Coast. After watching the SUNS over the past couple of weeks, that wasn't a bad loss considering, like the other pre mentioned teams, they could also make the finals this year. Ross Ly...

Cooper seemed very skinny from memory, I'd guess he was about 6'1" and about 72kgs He was skinny, that pencil thin his body couldn't throw a shadow on the ground. :P His marking was spectacular. He had very strong hands, for such a fragile looking bloke. Once his hands gripped the ball in a ma...
