Yes the football season is over, now comes the trade and draft period, the time of the year at the moment when we can actually get a little excited over our prospects. Let's hope we have a great month and a half. Yes, i love this time of year, then i hate it if we F*** it up.. :shock: Didn't last y...

I cried in 1965 after listening to the game on the radio. I was 9 at the time! All our losses since I've been in a kind of grieving shock. I flew down in 09 from the UK, arrived morning of the game, and went to the game jet-lagged. Felt terrible after the game with a combination of things. I must a...

I was inconsolable at the MCG after that match in 1965, the tears would not stop. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Then would you believe, in 1966 again at the MCG, I could hardly see the whole presentatio...

Didn't we get Jack Newnes for the Walsh traded pick? That was a win!!

Actually, we got Markworth and Maister, picks 35 and 68. Markworth hopefully will get a run at it.

He was such a good player. Remember him playing a blinder at Moorabbin against the WCE in about their first year. Very wet and muddy, but he ran around beautifully and kicked 4 or 5 if I'm not mistaken. Think I have the tape of that game somewhere. Don't really know the details of what happened to h...

History usually says this doesn't work. Saw something a while back that said the Premiers are sometimes behind the future curve. Collingwood 2010? Quite a few staff left but were then behind the times. Hawthorn might be an exception. But we got Luke Beveridge, although I hadn't heard the GC rumour. ...

I thought him too. Then looked it up. He only played in the 75 GF loss for Haw, so no.

I reckon if you drill down into the numbers other clubs would have quite high numbers of players who played in other team's premierships. Doubt we are leaders in this stat.

We need the quality of the next couple of drafts. Short of star players as it stands. And some luck that those picks come good. Smart trading will help. But no reason why not. Things turn around quickly, but we have a lot of work to do. And those injury gods will need to smile on us.

BB didn't mind a goal either. Snapped a few good ones, and wasn't a bad set shot. The thing about Caleb D is that he kicks it a mile. Goals from beyond 50, no trouble.

I understand Austinn's post. It's good.

He looks an absolute jet. Reading the Big Footy Phantom draft stuff we aren't the only ones looking at him. Everyone is interested. Looking at some of the old Saints games on You Tube, I am always struck with what a goer Brett Bowey was. He did some fantastic stuff, always in the thick of it. This k...

Jack Riewoldt is just so far up himself.

What a comeback. Great stuff Saints.

Eventually. Then we had a kick with my plastic footy. Almost broke bones in his foot! Embarrassing.

Great story of Jarryn and the young fan. Terrific the club would do that. Reminded me of when I was about the same age and my Dad arranged for me to meet Verdun Howell my hero. I knocked on a door and there he was. I was a bit like that kid...face like a stunned mullet.

He is...and it showed! Really enjoyed the commentary for a change.

Thanks Tony.

Why would you want any of those games. I was at every single one of them bar the 1988 at the WACA - a night game where we got flogged and barely scored - and every single one of those games was appalling. Oh, sorry I assumed you barracked for us. I was at that game at the WACA in 1988. Rained, Frid...

My only anxiety these days is that no one gets hurt, and we give a decent account of ourselves. Yes, we have very little to lose and far more to gain. Richmond on the other hand... Nice to be the hunter for a change. We will jag a win out of nowhere at some point, and it will be great. We always us...

Murdoch has shown some good things. Probably unlucky. Farren has dipped. Wonder if his cards are marked? Lee...don't know what to think.

The Ins are all perfectly understandable.

Not a great time to have the number one pick!

Have been thinking that for a while. But...we may not finish last. I know, I know....we've been rubbish, but signs were better last week. Picks 1-3 a lottery.

About 5 minutes in.
