The second rounder acquired for Gresham .

The bench is fascinating. Butler would be the only one on that list who is guaranteed a start .

Simply not good enough. Blokes who played well in first half fell away badly. 5. Cal Wilkie 4. Josh Battle These blokes did their job superbly all day . 3. Mason Wood. Got a heck of it . Gut running all day . Good hands. However turned it over so much . 2. Rowan Marshall . Competed hard. The fourth ...

I thought Stewart Loewe was going to be a dud. The under 19s played a curtain raiser at the G to a Friday night game against North in the mid 80s. We had two key forwards- Stewie and a bloke whose name I think was Chris Hams. I thought Hams was going to make it and Stewie was not. I saw Craig Devon...

Sainter Dad - are you ok to tabulate the votes as usual ? If not, I could get the abacus out and give it a crack

Breust obviously got 3 votes from RTB.

5. Crouch
4. NWM
3. Breust
2. Steele or Butler( either worthy - Mitchell gave the other one his 2 votes )
1. Sharman

I add my sincere thanks . It felt weird not being able to share the win yesterday with the Saintsational gang.

George27 where are you? Crouch Butler NWM Steele Marshall Here I am . Have just got out of a meeting , and seen the good news that we are back online. My votes very similar to yours. 5. Crouch. Superb game. 4. NWM. Now a real general down back. 3. Butler . Classic small forward game. 4 goals plus g...

Opening the thread as usual. However I have been at a suit-and-tie function with the family, where I could only watch snippets, then rode them home on the car radio in the last quarter. Hardly puts me in a position to vote !

So I invite others to put in their votes.

Cheers

After so many disappointments and false dawns over the years, as Saints fans we just knew this pathetic performance was coming . We hoped not.. maybe they would invoke the spirit of that wonderful Saint Alan Morrow… but no. Pathetic early, and never gave a yelp. 5. Callum Wilkie . This bloke is so r...

On the money I reckon at this stage.

Not for me thanks. Good luck everyone

Alan Morrow is a very important person in the history of the Saints. He was critical to our premiership win after Big Carl was rubbed out for the finals. He was a vital member of the team from the late 50s and into the 60s as we finally became a respected team and not easy beats . His influence on o...

Agree. Early on, he made too many errors with disposals ( which is ok for a young lad ) but is quickly becoming clinical .

Very proud of the effort. Not of the goal kicking of course, but they kept having a crack all night when they must have been knackered. We are entitled to expect it, but it is pleasing when they deliver it. Saints fans - we are jinxed , aren’t we ? Injuries , lost opportunities, probably another los...

Missed goal from 20m

Yes that was disappointing, but overall he had a very good quarter. Much more involved than in recent weeks.

A lot of opposition players, play their annual good game against us. Many of whom we recruited, like Michael Frost, David Strooper and Spiro Kourkoumelis. Arrgghh - Michael Frost . That 1992 final at a very windy Waverley. We got sucked into using something like pick 8 for him. It still gives me ni...

Gresh, who I had open clearance papers ready for him to sign at half-time, really got on his bike. I swear I even saw him look for one of our players before he kicked. That was rather astonishing! I also saw Haley's comet back in 1986. That's two once-in-a- lifetime sightings to add to my watching ...

This is a great thread . I agree with everyone else - the hypocritical Poms can get stuffed ! I find an irony in the fact that on this , a Saint fan website, we have some strong disagreements about our team ( and , on the rare occasion, it gets a touch personal! ) , and yet we are all in agreement o...

That was not the relaxing afternoon/early evening I was expecting. Noone for the 5 votes. 4. Rowan Marshall. I’m a bit torn on this. At times he was well-beaten by his opponent, but I thought he fought hard all day and his overall effort was strong. Stood up well late. 3. Mich Owens. Love him. 3. Br...

Play on decision BY Caminiti was the shocker

In my opinion Bruce was an excellent commentator of footy ( and a number of other sports ) , and the accolade is well- deserved.

Another deflating loss in another deflating season . 5. Jack Sinclair . Far from his best but, in my view, far-and-away our best again. 4. Jimmy Webster . I am at home with COVID, and it is much harder to judge than at the ground , but I think he played on Cameron all night . Did a great job. Will b...

I wish the three of them all the best for their return to the game , and beyond . Good luck , boys .
