Re: Harden The f*** Up, Supporters

There I was, in Melbourne this weekend, and I was wearing Saints clothes. It was Monday, and the waiter came up to me and said something like "Gee, the Saints aren't going too well. They lost yesterday, didn't they?" So I said "No, I think they played and they won". My friend, an...

Re: Emma Quayles Draft Guide

Has anyone ever noticed that we don't say "Harvey had hamstring troubles", "Lenny has a (physically) weak heart", "Roo has a weak knee"... I think White players are a risky proposition?

Re: A thread for sharing something 'saintly'

Thanks for starting this thread, SainterK. I have collections of cards for decades, with many signatures of Saints champions. Saints posters signed by Plugger, and many more. Signed books - like The Point of It All, signed by lots of our stars. I have so many cool Saints clothes - I've been getting ...

Re: For the trolls

I haven't posted on here for months. I've been one of those who has been alienated. But I felt a need to say, there is never a need to use images of disabled people this way. Did it really enhance anyone's dignity, on this site, to use a degrading image this way? What's that about? That disabled peo...

Re: Expansive Watters on SEN

I don't think he hates Ledger. When I watched the game on TV over here, there was an story about Watters at half-time. It showed clips from training and so on. Not sure which stations it aired on in Aus. He talks to many of the boys during the training. Then he says to Ledger "I know you've got...

Re: Should they do the Anzac thing on 28 April?

My Dad won some medals in the Second World War, and after he returned home, they gave some more to him and put his name on a wall in Brisbane with other Army guys. When he was in the nursing home before he died, the medals went missing. Does anyone know if the Government would replace them? I usuall...

How is there any integrity at Collingwood when Luke Ball said "I'm going to Collingwood", even though Melbourne had the first pick. No integrity in the process there... just more draft FIXing by Collingwood.

Hi Every year, the club sells a bunch of things - on one day - like training jerseys and so on... but there are never any things on the internet which would allow interstate or international members to buy. You can't phone in, or anything. You have to be there. Here is my idea: if the club listed 4 ...

Someone talked about being shattered when Plugger left.
I just didn't believe it.
Couldn't believe it.
Until it was official, and he was presented in a Swans jumper.
It's a team game, but he was my hero till then.
And then, honestly, a little part of me died that day.

Thanks for explaining the issue regarding bonuses from 2010... I wasn't able to work out how we would be so close when we didn't go far into the finals this year. I had no idea that things could be backdated like that! Wow. You learn something every day.

I don't follow twitter, but the first half of the word - twit - suggests that this is not a place where people share their heart and soul. The word limit (120 characters) also creates a space for misunderstanding. It's Twitter, not Skype! You don't get the body language, etc which is essential in no...
