The umpires make some awful decisions and it is not surprising that players, justifiably, get upset. So the player cops a penalty and the umpire moves on. That sounds about right. I would imagine that the abuse given by the players in a game pales into insignificance compared to what comes over the ...

The bits I watched on the live stream didn't fill me with confidence I have to say. Mostly to do with disposal. Lots of kicks into F50 going over heads, too many bombs and hit and hopes. Some of the younger fellas are exciting and am still optimistic about the season ahead. Our disposal though did ...

Excellent! Not generally a fan of 5 year deals but for Jack I'll make an exception.

Agreed. The banana jumper was a shocker.

I was surprised that Harris was selected for the First Test given his poor form leading in. The thinking of the Australian selectors remains a mystery.

If they were serious Michael Christian would be gone. He has never been consistent and plays favorites. Has been underwhelming in the role. Some of his attempts at rationalising why players were or were not charged were "interesting" to say the least. Would have been good to be a fly on t...

The Saints need skilled outside midfielders with pace. Knightmare has nominated an inside midfielder with apparent weaknesses in the skill and pace departments. :? If we take Hobbs I won't be happy :evil: Id be surprised if he got through to us, but if he did it would be a win. Watch his videos he ...

I thought he did it in a final in 71 Did he re-injure it? Some really sad stories for us in that era, even though it was a successful era Probably held us back from at least two more flags from 60 - 73 John unfortunately being a huge out… would have easily won 71 if he plays Yes, hurt a knee in the...

Because he still is on Scanlon footy cards for 72 & 73

John injured his knee playing for the Saints early in the 1972 season and retired from football. Not sure how he would end up on 1973 cards though.

RIP John McIntosh. Superb player. One can only wonder where the Saints could have gone if the knee problem hadn't cut short his career.

How do you pronounce Xerri ?

Is it Cherry or Zerry ?

There's a league player in Sydney with the same surname - pronounced Sherry.

Heard Jon Ralph pronounce it Zerry. Guess we'll have to recruit him to find out.

No compensation pick listed on the AFL site. As in, they have stated that we are not getting one, or they haven’t mentioned anything at all? Just no mention of a compensation pick for Luke whereas the others (Hewett, Chol etc) have the details of the compensation picks granted by the AFL to their e...

Melbourne's clearance work was out of this world once they flicked the switch later in the piece. Didn't see the magnitude of that turnaround coming. The Dogs were right in the game and then they weren't in a short space of time. Their midfield in the end got destroyed. Melbourne's surging run becam...

Trying to judge an immature kid in a psych test would seem to be a fraught process at the best of times. Would imagine there have been plenty of disagreements over confidence vs arrogance. Buckley was nicknamed FIGJAM for a reason. A club is made up of people of all types of personalities. Do the Sa...

Aaron Hamill pumping up Luke's talents.

Reality TV shows

Politicians of any persuasion (is that politically incorrect here?)

The football gods

Red traffic lights

Some interesting discrepancies between those lists eg Jarryn Geary in a couple of years.

While Luke Dunstan played a series of good games this year I am surprised he finished as high as he did in the Eastern Award. If he ends up there in the TBA as well he will presumably be more aggrieved.

Was that a paid advertisement on behalf of CHBs?

A lot of ifs, buts and maybes, a fluff piece at best. Most of those listed you wouldn't spend time considering.

Just get our SA recruiting person onto the job - they have done well over recent times.

Still shaking my head at how lopsided both those matches were. Hopefully the Grand Final is a far more even contest.

Can't imagine why the Saints would even waste one second considering Cox. No thanks.
