Topic: Is the King/Gardiner combination robbing us of flexibility?
Replies: 29
Views: 2665

In the games we have had both King and Gardiner in the ruck we have really done well in tapouts. We have a quality engine room and getting this many tapouts has to be a bonus. Blake gives his all. I like him for that but he gets smashed in the ruck against the big guys like Sandilands etc. I prefer ...

Good work Saint Edward. Where were you guys ?
We gave it our best from the MW but not much support. Gotta get the word around more perhaps.
I'd love nothing better than to hear that resonate through the dome every time he got the ball for 2008

Today was the best I have seen CJ play. Usual endevour but his kicking was the best I have seen from him. The kid has a fair dinkum crack, I'll give him that.

Geez you're right up with it mate. And you don't think they'd open the roof when they could and save the cost and hassle of heat lamps when the could for nothing ? From mother nature.

Excuse me "The Saintsaintal Man" for posting. I thought this was a place to discuss our club and the game. New poster or not.
Next Time I post I will send you out some Bex in advance for your headache. Just have a lie down. You'll be right.
Just calling my observations as I saw them.

I understand where you all are coming from. It was cold. But to be honest if you saw how much sun actually hit a small percentage of the ground today I think they just have to open it to keep the grass alive.

Goal kicking yips

I watched the prematch goalkicking with interest and then the kicks at goal during the game and can't help but think what do they actually do at training ? Even in the prematch shots very few went through. During the match I found it baffling how a league footballer can miss set shots from 30 metres...

I was at the game today and watched Gram with interest. His tackling, or attempt there of is not up to the required standard. Also his options are more often than not, the wrong one. He delivered an improvement today on his form this year but I think he's done well to get a 3 year deal imo. Thought ...

Are we really that far off the pace ?

I've been thinking about this a bit lately and compared us to some of the sides that are towards the top of the ladder. Hawthorn have won 9 games and lost one to the dogs. But they have played Melbourne twice and not played Geelong. Potentially they are 12 pts higher than us right there. The Cats go...

That sounds like a good call Sainter Boy.
Bang ... it is.
We'll give it our best shot tomorrow :lol:
I'm not sure if we can get our passionate supporters to get into it though.
I just wish we had the passion of the Pies supporters.
I know they'd get it together if Harves was one of theirs.

Would we consider Jonathon Brown + a 5 year contract ?

Sorry if this has been posted before. With the current stalemate in negotiations between JB and Brisbane it had me thinking "what if" ? I realise the risks of a 5 year deal can lead to a problem for a club if that player gets seriously injured. It could put salary cap pressure on us as wel...

Just a suggestion...
Do you people think we could take suggestions for what the chant should be
eg
Banger
Haarvey
etc and then maybe run a poll to choose the most popular so we get it right for gameday ?

I think Haarvey rolls off the tongue o.k myself.

Thanks for the welcome ! It's ironic that you mention the "woof" everyone cheered for Val Perovic as I was trying to think of something similar that we could call out for Robert and that example of "woof" was what I was thinking about.Something along those lines. Please think mor...

Sign of our respect

Hello to all fellow Sainters. A quick introduction ... I am a new member to Saintsational. I have been a supporter since 1976. I joined as a member this year after many a year thinking about it. Shift work and the distance to Waverly and Moorabin made it difficult to get to too many games. Couple th...
