Met Tom through this Forum...and in person at an Intra Club game in the early 2000's Since then have watched many many games in his company...and had a pregame ale at more games than not over 15 or more years. Beloved member of our Saints community and also a passionate advocate for road safety and ...

Why does anyone care if he changes his name for personal reasons that are unique to him? It's entirely his own business and choice if he wants to change his name. But didn't you know?? Hes a Collingwood player and therefore must be mocked and sledged at every opportunity..even when the topic has no...

For a Club like ours (medium support base and little sustained success in our history) 2009-2010 was an absolute Doomsday scenario Two consecutive GF losses You can talk about a decade of success all you like, but the fairweather fans who are the difference between 32000 and 40000 Mmebers for us don...

What a shame the Boss will already have passed through...THAT would be cool

Summary: if he was a Saints player we'd applaud his stance...but he's not so we mock him

Some very Judgey McJudge people on here. Plenty of you lauded him when he stood up to Eddie.,,but now he's a flog again?

Carry on.

Why all the hate for Francis Leach? I thought he always came across as a fairly affable chap. Have been told by a few people (who are decent judge of character) that he's a good bloke. At one point, wanted to play at the baseball at the club I'm with, but his schedule wouldn't permit it. A shame. C...

I wish Tom all the luck in the world..but...there's a chance Scott and selection committee were right and a lot of pundits were wrong....and that he's not considered AFL standard.

Do we know Hogan is a Better KPP player than Boyd?? Without any doubt??

Anything could gave happened if the other two had been in this draft

Oh and Jack Billings says Hi lol

A good spotter of talent I have heard in 1997 he wanted to select Nick Stephens but was overruled by Alves and in 99 he like Murphy and Greene but Timmy liked Beetham Umm didnt you call him an egomaniac on here when he drafted Brad Howard? Maybe my memory is playing tricks so sorry if so. No Brad d...

A few weeks back in a thread I posted that Westaway had 'destroyed" the Saints. Now while I deliberately used colorful language to prompt discussion, the fact is that under his watch as president that the club has had a disastrous period. The Grand Finals just blinded many as to his ineptness....

According to the baying mob on here the only good journos are the ones who don't bag the Club. not entirely true....mike sheahan and whately are two i would rate miles in front of that clown connelly....and no don't try ringing me again rohan..... Until Mike Sheahan bags the Saints then you'll spit...

I doubt "YOUR OPINION" will be universally accepted as being correct.

Yes its my opinion but its also the opinion of a lot of people I know

Care to name your best journos? o

Rohan Connolly is one of Melbournes best football journos and that article was fair and blissfully lacking in histrionics

Think a few people here need to harden up a bit

Yes I think the more discerning musical types among us should nickname him Paul

City of Wellington also want a different opponent every year to maximise tourism $$

The issue with both Rhys and Sippa is all between the ears for mine Rhys need to be hungrier for contest and attack the footy. Hes a big tall bloke..use it Sippa needs to realise theres such a thing as a second effort and that he has to work a billion % harder when we arent in possession of the footy

Maister just signed a new contract so wont be him

TDL still a year to run on his

I think Ferg could be in strife given we have recruited both Delaney and Bruce.

Ironic They'll be basking in the cash we should be getting from Tas, whilst basking in the leadership and talent of our player... Well played North Why dont you come to NZ, bask in the cash we DO get from them..while basking in Longer ripping his old team a newie in a stunning win by us?? That, how...

As reported in the Hobart mercury today

http://www.themercury.com.au/sport/afl/ ... 6745583753

Were playing North in Hobart in July !! http://www.themercury.com.au/sport/afl/ ... 6745583753

Just been tweeted by Age journo Jason Phelan that Longer wishes to be traded to us. More to come.

Umm didnt TDL and Maister just sign new contracts??

Sadly were not in a position to pick up anyone with the slightest chance of adding another chapter to our "colourful recent past". No matter what his talent or how late the pick..Id think the Board would say "no" ...its just not worth more drama
