he made a lot of clangers tonight ... i personally found his game very frustrating ... hopefully he can take his chances though and show some improvement if he gets selected next week ... 17 possessions (10 contested), 15 kicks, 9 marks (3 contested), 2 goals and 1 goal assist. Yes, very frustratin...

No nomination yet, still not quite a 4 quarter player. On his form over the last few weeks however he is not far off tearing a match apart. When that happpens he gets my RS nomination.

did he play for Sandringham? Twice. he was recruited from Sandringham as a full forward in 1962. He was no good. One fateful day in 1965, the Queens Birthday clash at the MCG, Allan Jeans switched Bob to full back and Verdun Howell (our then full back and state representative) to full forward. At t...

Saw Trottie make his debut in '69. He was a policeman having come through the cadet system. A very fine wingman, slightly built as was the norm at the time. He was a thumping kick of the torpedo and very quick on his feet; a genuine star from day one in our golden era. Like a lot of great Saints, he...

"Winners Only"? Gro up sunshine, if you are a good boy your mum might take you to the footy one day. Now go to bed, I don't want you to be late for kinder in the morning.

StKilda not a contender? You're kidding yourself older saint. One thing you have overlooked: Carlton 8.7 (55) defeated by Adelaide 19.10 (124). Carlton IS a contender but only had to catch a tram to Etihad not an Airbus to Perth to play the top-placed team after a short break. Any other team down by...

Unlike so many ex-spurts who contribute to this forum I actually go to the games. On Saturday night Jason Blake was a revelation in the 1st half - more than holding his own in the ruck; drifting forward and taking marks and racking up countless "non-possessions" knocking the ball to our ad...

I was standing in my usual spot in front of Bay 8 of the stand. It wasn't a windy day as I recall. Jeff Fehring took the free, just went back a couple of strides and unloaded. Barry Breen was just in front of the goal square and it sailed over his head and bounced through. The look on Breeny's face ...

I saw 3 debutantes played for the Saints against North Melbourne in round 6, 1965 - at Coburg! The one that attracted the most attention at the time was Julian White (only 3 senior games). The other two were Cowboy and Barry Breen! Many great memories of Cowboy the player; his 8-goal second half to ...
