Re: Saints homeward bound!!

If they do the right thing and scrap the idiot East West tunnel fiasco, they could free up 8 billion and redevelop every bloody ground in Victoria. You obviously don't travel across town very often in peak hours. I can't see the point of us shifting to some oval next to Junction oval just to train....

Re: Vale thezelk

Sounds like we've lost a bloke who genuinely made the world a better place.
This forum will be much poorer with his passing.
All the best to his family and friends.

Re: Injury Update

Interesting but they have left out one vital stat - game experience of those still out on the park. If you have a senior experienced list, then even if you're missing experienced players, you've still got a lot of experience on the ground. Suspect this would be the case with the Hawks, for example -...

How is Spencer going?

Hi Sainters,
Was hoping to catch a glimpse of Spencer White on the weekend but didn't get the chance.
Did he play for Sandi? How's he going?
There's been a lot of talk about his potential but I was wondering how those who've actually seen him play think he's going.
Go Saints!!!

Re: Ahmed delisted

Unfortunate, but had to happen.
Feel sorry for Saad - even though what he did was pretty foolish.
He didn't have a great 2013 but thought he would learn a lot and bounce back in 2014 - but that won't happen now.
It might be the end of his AFL career.
Good luck Ahmed.

And memories aren't as clear 9 years later, particularly if there was booze involved.
