THe Only reason I'd bother with foxtel is for the sport and for music channels like MTV, Channel V, MAX etc... but even they seemed to be full of ads anyway, so I'll just stick to my FTA and video hits and JTV! Oh yeah completely forgot about the ADS They started getting really intrusive back in '0...

Up here in QLD Austar was on 24x7 Loved White Line Fever, and the occasional classic quarter was worth the price. The rest of the chanels? "Australia's Next Top Model" and more of the same, if you like old US sitcoms then get it. In their wisdom Foxtel dropped the Footy chanel so we droppe...

Fact Vs Rumour??? Not sure how you would file this but an acquaintance who just happens to be a Roos talent scout, (he's out there watching) has told me he does not think Gardiner has done all he could to get through recovery and his fitness is a long way off No1 ruckman at AFL level. You have to re...

Not sure on your vintage Dan, so I'm taing a punt.
Do you also hate music from the Beatles and Rolling Stones, because they used drugs while creating their music?

i agree with dan on this....benny is a druggie and a cheat.....i saw him play crappy first half's on a number of occasions...........then come out literally flying in the second.....those of us who don't have our head either in the ground or up our arse now know why...... Just a question stinger. W...

trying to compare eras is always dangerous. Its not so much whether Plugger would be good in todays game, he would be. But the rules would crucify him, Plugger would dispose of his opponents prior to his leads to get the break. One on one with a high ball coming in, he couldnt be budged or bumped ou...

I reckon that Kossi has the potential to become a Plugger type - he is big, can take a ripping grab, has a smallish dose of mongrel and is highly skilled. kosi does at times bring to mind lockett with those big, contested, one-grab marks and i think he'll make a very good ff for us. Not sure about ...

1. The day he drove Mick Martin's head about 2 foot beneath the Moorabbin mud (still kept a perfect headlock too) There was a game where Plugger and Martyn had a massive altercation, may have been the same game. I remember seeing vision of the two of them standing toe to toe, nose to nose for about...

For the no people put your hand up now so that when the Northern Roos become financially secure and playing in multiple finals and are starting a dynasty like the Bears/Lions threepeate, dont you dare say that should have been us. My time with the Saints goes back to the old Moorabbin days, Ross Smi...

SaintBev will be delirious
a possible Saints game live in her backyard

NO Im not ignorant just deeply passionate about Aussie rules and I will fight to the death anyone who erroneously believes soccer can be called "exciting". sunsaint, we're all deeply passionate about Aussie Rules and the Saints, obviously. If you're going to fight to the death anyone who ...

Can we please take rubbish soccer to the general forum where it belongs. nothing in the last 12 months has made me think soccer is rubbish when compared to afl.. lets have a look: soccer: tradition...check rule changes....rare if ever excitement.....far better than afl football: tradition...what tr...

Last time I looked Richards isnt playing for the Saints, and to be honest there is not a huge difference between the two apart from your perception. Although next year Richards will have to step up to no1 ruck if Fraser is used forward more. Richards has been delisted. He plyed better football than...

The fact that he was cut from Hawthorn's rookie list shows that at least one other club made the decision that he isn't AFL standard. Yes and Port summed up Brooks very quickly dumped him on us and denied us the chance to get Salopek, now you tell me of the two, which player cost the Saints dearly ...

You take that back now, otherwise Judd and Goddard will pay you a visit

I have absolutely nothing against the guy personally, but he just isn't good enough to be an effective AFL footballer. He would not get a game anywhere else in the competition.

bally dont know who bloody hibbert is...the only hibbert i've heard of is a blokw who played for ess about 40 yrs ago would much appreciate it if you could remove that soccer chyt from your sig..it offends me,nothing turns my stomach more than bloody soccer after giving everton a wrap re his attitu...

Many of you expect far too much from a back up ruckman who is fit and willing. We've gone for Brooks, Ackland, Doc Clarke, and Knobel in the past - so Rix has by far been the best value. <snip> Hey Skeptic, Solar and MSG 2007 St Kilda Saints Total Hitouts Leaders (Minimum 5 Games Played) Rank Name ...

SP2006 I've been pretty consistant on drug cheating for sometime. if what you are alluding to regarding the drug issue. This is way more complicated than yelling from a soap box. Performance enhancing drugs in sport are a problem, recreational drugs have replaced booze as a bigger problem. To think...

also did anyone hit or strike cousins when we played them in melbourne? pretty sure blake played a clean game. Cousins was in the dugout retching and shaking (not drawing ANY conclusions but read up on withdrawal symptoms form crystal meth) Cmon Dan you went a bit far this time its called gut runni...

Dan lawyers may have a permanent office at the pies headquarters, but we now have a QC on the board. Yes we all take great delight in sledging the filth, carlscum etc, but do you really think their fans give a stuff. Do you care what other supporters think about the Saints? My argument is based on t...

I think a point every one is missing is not so much can StKilda "pay" the price morally/ethically/socially to get Cousins to the Saints, but rather, can we afford to let him go to another club... say collingwood? What would that mean to us, I would bet here and now that a quality midfielde...

Being injury free dosen't help him when he is at the very best a standard GOP. Rather have a match winning but injury prone ruckman than a player who keeps playing but couldn't win a macth off his own boot if he tried. Play the percentages. Hey Riccardo could you please explain how a ruck man can w...
