not bad numbers

With the retrospectoscope Milne was poor in the last Q. Shame for Wilkes to come off, but could easily understand it. Difficult conditions, playing 3 Talls against a gutsy Melbourne one had to come off. Stanley's the second ruck and Rooey didn't have his best night but is clearly not going to be ta...

Wilkes wasn't injured fellas. I heard on the radio in the car on the way home from the G that the coaching team had already done the paperwork arranging the substitution and replacement, and as Wilkes had been relatively quiet leading up to the time of filling out the documents he had to go off. Agr...

We used to play Hawthorn on the Queens Birthday holiday at VFL park. Then suddenly we lost that fixture. Probably down to the vested interests at Hawthorn supporting the merger with Melbourne at the time. Then we were going to play an Easter Monday fixture with Richmond every year until they went be...

I think the crowd will be very good. High 30s methinks. Lots of neutrals to turn up as well. It will be interesting to see if Ross goes the boa constrictor type zoning against us. Hope he doesn't though. And the match up on McEvoy will be interesting. I remember Sandilands picking Gardiner up like h...

Or alternatively, do what I do and make them listen to the Manic Street Preachers, Charlatains,Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses ...then they'll start listening to Coldplay. Come to think of it, I don't know if that's good or bad...

massive game! we have to win against freo and dees. we then have 3 real toughies. if we win against freo and dees and then 1 of the next 3 ill be very happy. 5 from 8 wil be a big tick. I think you mean FOUR real toughies. The Swans at Etihad is going to be hard as well. They play our home ground a...

Fantastic - you got all those signatures. Unbelievable, would've been impossible at the Frankston Day.
Think the club should run both, with perhaps another at the Junction for our inner city Sainters.

I think our supporter base is getting smaller,or older at least. I know of several old saints die hards that have died in the past few years. We probably have the fewest supporters in my age bracket(32) in the league,due to the 80's. Look at Hawthorn now,all the kids of the 80's that jumped onto th...

Be interesting to see what numbers turn up to the Freo match next Friday. I suspect the low numbers attending have generally been due to the style of play being generally seen as boring and so forth. This appears to be changing as we seem to be scoring a lot more freelythan we have these past four y...

Yep, no worries mate, to be fair I actually agreed with your sentiments. No biggie.

And just heard - season over for Ball. Can't say I have a lot of sympathy due to all the Collingwood jeering when Nick went of in 2010.

He has resumed in his status as one of the games' best inside midfielders and the fact that Ross Lyon could somehow find a role in the team for retards like Andrew McQualter and Robert Eddy is nothing short of slander and pathetic as the latter two players always were and continued to prove to be c...

Luke Ball - knee 8 weeks ooooooops, I forgot - not our problem!

Hasn't anyone else found another part of that article somewhat disturbing? The comment referring to next premiership "might be three to five years" away. I know he doesn't rule out anything but isn't that a bit defeatist? Or is he just a realist? Anyway I'm happy with the choice if Watter...

Travelling around America over 20 years ago I saw a heap of the drug affected underclass on the streets. Saw a lot of alkies on the streets of London too 18 or 19 years ago. Vowed never to become one of them. Sometimes it's poor choices people make when they're young and taking risks as is normal fo...

Took us to consecutive Grand Finals. A lot of teams would love to have given it the shots that we have over the past eight years. Ross did a great job, and it was only bad luck in the wash up that cost us. Perhaps in the future that luck will change. I, for one, am optimistic that we will get in ano...

I hate it when the players pronounce it as Saint (Saynt) Kilda in interviews when everyone knows it is pronounced Sint Kilda.

I went to the praccy game vs pies , and I must admit, it left me with a feeling of dread re backline. I don't expect as much now and I hope I'm wrong . Lyon could coach and I believe went super defensive to cover our deficiencies , however it eventually swallowed the team and the ability to score a...

I thought Cripps, Siposs and Ledger actually got us going last year. Reckon if those three can stay injury free we should be alright, myself. We're looking at Loewe, Burke and Harvs reprise. And hey, we've already got a Winmar! Spoke with Milera and Peake today. Milera is really champing at the bit ...

Always remember Jimmy before the 97 Grand Final being driven around in the cavalcade wearing a St Kilda scarf. Bittersweet memory.
Can't believe that Jim and Sean Wight have both already passed away.

No to Blake. He's done IMO. Wilkes then? I'm really worried about Schulz, Westhoff and Butcher Butcher reported and should get at least a week according to reports. Schulz I am not to worried about. Doesn't play well against us - or hasn't, perhaps due to playing for Richmond. Westhoff will be hard...

So to sum up the last few pages We were poor, lost to a weakened opposition, but can't take it too seriously IMO, this game can't be judged because we don't know the true intentions of the coach Games can only be judged when both opposition are 100% looking for a win This only happens in the season...

I am not worried and I think a lot of people on this forum are forgetting a couple of things: 1) A lot of our senior players were having their first hit out - it was all about getting minutes into the players 2) It was hot out there. Hot! 3) Last time I checked practice games are for trying things o...
