A bit of help from regular game attendees pls

Hi All,

Just looking for a bit of advice from fellow Sainters. I'm coming over from SA for a footy trip with 6 others. One of the games is Saints v Roos at Marvel on 4th May. Do you think we should pre-book tickets or we'll get decent seats if we buy on the day ? Cheers

Re: Brayshaw - leave thread here as it affects the future of footy in general

To give some perspective Brayshaw retired because of his history of head knocks. Caminiti was unlucky because the guy he barely touched had a history. McCartin had a history and pretty much ran into a player and was concussed, do we blame Paddy ? I feel Maynard was lucky to get off for a game or two...

Re: I'm tired of it YOY

I get the underdog thing but I'm tired of it. We had so many injuries last year and still made the 8. The first team they said would drop was us. Do they know our list or do they go by history? I think our youngsters will make their own history...might be Collard, Wilson, Keeler with the group befor...

I'm tired of it YOY

I live in SA and I love all the positive training, match sim reports. I listen to SEN Vic because it's not SA biased. I love Johnnie from Epping and Margaret, she didn't sound well this morning so I hope she's OK. I got really annoyed this morning when they did a segment .. who goes out of 8 the 8 a...

Special Cup

RTB's presser was brilliant. When he coached us years ago it was the most confident I'd been as a supporter. His reference to listening to Buckley's advice and recruiting and playing kids says to me he's still learning.. he knows how good Enright is so he will put his attention to the centre - forwa...

Re: Gather Round at Norwood Oval = joke

Here's some positives :- All the people from Vic who I spoke to last year loved it, not far to Adelaide and they got to come over with mates or family and watch a couple of games free from moronic Crows and Port supporters plus do some sightseeing. My family and I got to see our team play a Victoria...

This game should've been at Adelaide Oval. Sold out within an hour, what a joke. I'm one of the most passionate fans living in Adelaide and couldn't get a ticket. Just can't understand the logic ??

Re: Gather Round 2024

It's well worth the trip. You can come over and see a few games, it's a good atmosphere over here. I hate going to the footy here because I can't stand the Port and Crows fans, even my kids hate it too. Now we're all really looking forward to that weekend and going to a few games with different grou...

Re: Post-match analysis

Cwrcyn summary was spot on. Pressure in finals exposed a few today. I've always rated Sharman and Stocker, not sure what the coaches don't see. First final for the coaches gives them an opportunity to see who stands up when it counts, youngsters are excused but experienced players have to go in the ...

Re: Crows Chairman wants compensation

My wife and I caught the overland over from Adelaide in '97. We went to family day the following day and it was great, highlight being Steven Sziller's haka and a photo with Banger. When we went to Spencer St to go back that night the train was full of Crows Supporters who decorated the carriages. O...

Crows Chairman wants compensation

Should I remind John Olsen and Mark Ricciuoto about a certain goal not given in the '97 preliminary final ? I'm sure Tony Liberatore would like a goal review ! Adelaide shouldn't have even been playing the Saints the following week. Cry me a river Crows. Also, talk about disrespecting the Eagles... ...

2 weeks ago I said we'd beat Tigers and cats and thanks to those that backed me. I said we'd make the 8 ... just. To be honest I never thought I would hope Crows win who I absolutely despise. To get in by the bottom side beating the Dogs in Melbourne just blew me away. I was mowing my lawn with my e...

We make the eight ... just ! I think we can win the next 2. People forget how important Membrey is to this team. He played well last week and King has a game under his belt. Our midfield have had the blowtorch on them and we play at home. I'll stay positive until the "plus size" lady sings.

Re: Melbourne...wheres the games biggest concern?

Fritsch out helps but van Rooyen and Pickett will step up this week, once again the media are doing us no favours. If Oliver returns then they will win clearances. Langdon and Brayshaw fly under the radar as well. If we are under pressure instead of bombing it forward then team instruction should be...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Eagles Round 16 2023

One play in the last minute sums up where we're at ... 5 players around the ball, all left it for each other and one eagle grabbed the ball and took off. It's called INTENT AND DESIRE. We have such a defensive mindset now we watch then tackle. How about we get the ball first, it's not a hard game. G...
