The coaching types at the saints at present IMO are Ball,Hayes,Maguire,Maxi,Monty and Reiwoldt. Burke,Andrew Thompson and Hamill from recent times. What's Sammy doing these days? Aaron's new swimming pool construction business was given a plug by Sam Newman on the Footy Show a couple of months ago.

It could be one of the hardest years ever to get a ticket, in 97 the asking price from scalpers was around $1000, imagine if we did get to the GF without dropping a game they would be like gold. :cry: So is there any way to get a ticket if you don't have social or AFL membership? Im just a normal c...

Was listening to ABC Radio yesterday when Andrew was on. Twilight Saturday games were also discussed with a 5 pm start and two byes per season when the Gold Coast enters the competition. AFL are not really happy with the bye situation which is part of the reason the 2012 entry of another team is bei...

I agree, wonderful idea thanks. I also agree with the 50 game issue - if it's good enough to be recognized by the club, players and cheersquad... and it is... then it's good enough for a walk of fame style thing. Also, there are people who've been cruely struck down by injury who might have been yo...

According to Lillian Frank's society column in today's Herald Sun, Shane Warne prefers to sit in the outer when watching the Saints play.

Have you sat next to Warnie recently??

Damn, that hasn't worked for me...

Had exactly the same thought when he said it!!

Xavier is providing special comments for the ABC Radio coverage from Darwin tonight. Only caught what he said before the game. Is due back in Melbourne tomorrow and will start/continue his rehabilitation from Monday. Has been visiting his family. Lost approx. 5 kilos in the two weeks post operation ...

Made me laugh, saintbrat.

Nick must be a gentleman - just doesn't want to put his hand there, does he??

Gee, Jack Watts is getting a quiet introduction into senior footy - not!!

I sincerely hope the boy goes well and all this publicity, before he has played a senior game, does not prove to be too much for him.

wasn't sainters.com once a forum?????

remember it for like ten years ago or something.....

Had a good "gossip" section - not sure how much of it was true, though!!

Would have been finished as a forum for about 3 years I think.

What a great thread!!

Keep the stories coming please.

Was watching a bit of "The Back Page" on Fox Sports earlier this week and one of their features was the game between the Saints and Essendon at Waverly Park where the lights went out. Apparently it is 13 years ago this month - doesn't time fly. I remember the mid-week replay of the game bu...

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,25418611-19772,00.html - St Kilda ditches old ways Link to the full article from Sunday's Herald Sun, which I don't think has been posted on here yet, is above. Danny Frawley and Aussie Jones have also provided their thoughts on the 2009 team.

Unfortunately, from memory, the one that Brukner got right was that Aaron Hamill would struggle to play again.

I would be interested to know if other clubs push to play on ANZAC Day when they put in their preferences for the draw or if they take it as given that Collingwood and Essendon will play plus perhaps an interstate game depending on when ANZAC Day falls. Was listening to the ABC pre-game today and th...

Who is Bruce Abernathy? Seriously? Gun player for Port Adelaide in the SANFL (before there was a Port Power) in the '80's. Came over to play with Collingwood, and also played with North Melbourne. A very classy midfielder who struggled a bit with injury. Also holds an off-field role with Port, mayb...

Perhaps Hutchy is "beating up" the story to attract more viewers to Footy Classified tomorrow night.....

The Saints Hearts women's network gets a write up in Lillian Frank's column in today's Herald Sun, complete with photograph of Leigh Montagna, David Armitage and Michael Nettlefold's daughter, Lucy.

Wasn't there also a game at Aurora Stadium (York Park) where Aaron Hamill kicked the winning point very close to or after the siren - or do I have the wrong opponents??

I hope your wife is a Saints fan too - otherwise it could be on par with getting a kettle or toaster as a Mother's Day present!!

Had to laugh at this one - Steve Johnson, Geelong Cats, has been charged with a First Offence for pinching Harry O’Brien, Collingwood, during the first quarter of the Round Three match between Geelong Cats and Collingwood, played at the MCG on Thursday April 9, 2009. In summary, he can accept a $...

Brendan Fevola

His son looks a pretty good size - there was a pic of him in yesterday's paper... shame we dont get too many father/son picks! I was also unsure if they'd changed the rules regarding the number of games played as one of the GC17 concessions... but i guess not - Spinner would know! Lowering father-s...

Confirmed they're both playing on sen 8-) Mate did you hear the Hamill interview. Caught the end of it and then straight to Ross. If you did can you let us know what was said :?: *They just said the saints lost their aggression when hamill retired and hamill said to be that "tough" guy yo...
