41 year member this year

Uck me...I knew it!! We are being overun by ex-Hawthorn people. Probably end up being as effective as bloody Dicko... which is not effective so far...that bloody Pelchen fella came to us after Hawthorn. Although I suppose he wasn't really a true Hawks person was he? I suppose when Peter Hudson came...

So I'm assiming you are saying we did really well. I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if the backline is unchanged. I'm happy with that. I gave Wilkie votes in the vote thread and thought he was crucial to the win. Also didn't realise how tall he is Anyhow...a bit misleading to say they had the follo...

I don't think our defenders would agree with you. Their great form has been integral to our wins this year. McDonald is a serious talent. Dees were happy to offload Hogan because of the development of Tom. You don't usually have these blokes out of form for too long. What if Melbourne play Preuss, ...

parts I saw Hind gets it a lot but is often the turnover king he had a crap load of the ball and barely missed a target, he got caught once trying to take on a tackle, but he is always trying something. He is lightening quick and runs at that speed all day. My only question mark on him is his stren...

If we run over the top of an injury ravaged Hawthorn, it will be INSPITE of Cho, and all down to the desperation of the 22 players. You really are a miserable sad sack. If they lose its Richo's fault, if they win its only due to the players. Richo is no good, imagine what we could do with a gun hea...

Newnes missed almost the entire pre-season last year and this is just too difficult to overcome in modern football. Take a look at Melbourne this year, more than half their senior team had surgery in the off season and delayed pre-seasons, they are 1-4 and we know they are way better than that.

I’m happy to put my hand up and say the coach is no good, and we’re just going to waste years of mediocrity with him at the helm. To all the Richo supporters, what about his 5 year, 33% winning, no finals playing, record do you think makes him deserve our praise? What about his gameplan today did y...

We're up and about. If we can keep this intensity up for the last quarter we will run over the top of them Hope we dont :roll: It hurts us in the long run having a coach like Richo. We are not going to get over the line against better teams (the Hawks have more injuries to key playmakers than we do...

He is a tease. His second half was instrumental in getting us over the line, bloody fantastic. Now for some consistency. totally agree, was completely ineffective in the first half but was one of the reasons we came back hard at them in the 3rd quarter. he has 8 possessions in the first half and 19...

What about Gearbox? His first half was epic! Kept us alive in defence. Freo by rights should’ve had a lot more scoring shots had our defensive efforts not been so incredibly effective. Geary was brilliant, kept us in the game in the first Half and more importantly, used the ball well when he got it...

Out Acres, Sinclair, (both need to work so much harder), Kent
In Steven, Long, Young.

Unfortunately after all the offseason changes, nothing much seems to have changed on the field re our game plan or execution. IMO we’ve beaten two very ordinary teams and all it is doing is papering over the cracks and will keep us on track to mediocrity under Richo. But again, that’s just my opini...

Last year he was lost to us. Couldn't mark anything. Couldn't hit the side of a barn using another barn. Something's happened, he must have gotten contact lenses. He's a far far better player than even when Rooey was around to take the best 2 key backs. Last year he played 3 games!!!! He took 12 ma...

Come out and beat Essendon and this talk disappears Have hanners come on and uplift the team from round 5 and this talk disappears Have King come in and show the potential of a future gun and this talk disappears Footy is fundamentally a week by week proposition - you live and die by your performan...

Great news. Get him 100% concentrating on his fitness. What a non story. Great news? Really? Wouldn’t you think he’d have more time on his hands to devote to leadership matters? There’s also how crap it looks in the club not even bothering to announce it (which they did when Robbo stepped away). Go...

CALUM WILKIE!!!!! One of the best debut games I have seen in a long while. Great intercept mark, beautiful disposal and very cool under pressure. The recruiters get bagged relentlessly on this supposed "fan forum" but never get any credit.
Wilkie is a ripper and so is Parker

My gut feel is he will be a major disappointment. Just seems a bit of a plodder with no wow factor. Hope I’m wrong but doesn’t seem to be in our best 22 wow just wow, firstly, he is one of the quickest players on our list, so he no where near a plodder. Secondly he is only 19 years old and has show...

Paddy McCartin - 'get him to wear a helmet - he'll be fine' Dylan Roberton - 'a pacemaker will do the trick' Jake Carlisle - '5 months of jogging and he will be as right as rain' Dan Hannebery - 'modified program and he'll be ready to go' Jack Bytel - 'just needs to do a few stretches and he'll be ...

funny, there's a lot of Essendon supporters that are bemused as to why Nick Hind is playing for us this year and not for Essendon. AND Connellan is playing for their VFL team he wasn't even rookie listed by them, if they were so shocked why didn't they give him a gig on their list? Probably because ...

we upgraded last year from level 3 reserve seating to the new level 2 premium seats which are located in the forward pocket/half forward area. The area is reserved for saints members but you don't have an allocated seat, its just first in best dressed. The seats offer good viewing and there is a goo...

According to Champion Data. WHAT CHAMPION DATA SAYS: The Saints have the equal fewest players under the age of 21, but have the most players between the age of 21-24. This group ranks seventh for quality, which should excite fans. It’s led by Jade Gresham, who is the club’s only elite player. And t...

Maybe they need to stop saying words like he “fell” from the bridge. And use the word suicide. The belief is you need to tread on eggshells to stop encouraging others to jump. What now? Do we need suicide prevention fences on the Bolte? And then what? They find another bridge, we build another fenc...

Oh for f**** sake, he could s*** pure gold and you would still complain, the absolute vitriol spewed out on this so called fan forum is just a complete joke
