Meanwhile, St Kilda play Richmond this week - anyone going?

[Oh When the Saints]

Just thought I might sneak a thread in about the Saints game this week ...

I know this is a Collingwood forum, but I thought that we should perhaps keep an eye on how St Kilda play??


Keeping it mind that could be the last time Robert Harvey and Fraser Gehrig play for St Kilda, so I reckon it should be a reasonable game.


Tigers have hit a bit of form, and seem to have got their run and carry going.


Changes for the Saints?

OUT: J. Attard (inj), M. Clarke
IN: R. Harvey, A. Thompson

Blake can do the ruckwork, as the Tigers only have Pattison as their ruckman and then a pinch-hitter.

Thommo in his farewell game deserves a super-effort from fans and players alike.




Anyway, forgive me for interrupting all the talk about Collingwood and Adelaide ...

i won't be there unless i can fake a sickie at work




















which i plan to do

well sweeney played casey 2's and he looks like he is gawn, so he won't be the replacement but should voss go..

now i think of it, i cant think of a replacement off the top of my head

[Eastern]

What about giving Armitage or McQualter another taste? !!

[Unforgiven]

i won't be there unless i can fake a sickie at work

Give you the hot tip for future plans Fonzie...

If you ever want a few days off work in succesion in short notice.... Faking food poisoning is the key. Beside the obvious decitefull downside, it's the perfect idea, short notice, very bad sympots that can keep you out for days

Ill hopefully be there If I dont have to much work, or study to do. Poor excuse I know,but it is VCE

[fonz_#15]

thanks corin

its my birthday the day before so i think i will have another type of poisoning

[Oh When the Saints]

I thought Vossy deserved a farewell game too ... it is probably likely that this is his last year, although I'm not sure.

Even so, it would be nice if he could play with Thommo in his last match ...

If you want a day off hang around a clinic in Ivanhoe you may get some sickie certificate in the gutter.

[fonz_#15]

depends on whether or not our finals hopes are stil alive owts..

if we cant make it, then let all our retirees have farewell games but if we can make it after friday night, i think the best 22 available must be selected imo.

N32 Ponsford Stand !!

I hope you're right about a farwell game for Thomo !!

I don't!

I hope he is fit for the finals... his experience and toughness may be something needed in the finals.

[Dal'sGal26]

I will be there, screaming my lungs out as usual, even if we can't make the finals!!

look back to sunday...sheedy and hird had their 'farewell' games

he can continue playing even if he has been 'farewelled'...i think

[midas_touch]

Providing that I don't have work on Saturday, then I should be there.

im pretty sure he has said this is his last season...if he hasnt he should announce his retirement

otherwise the club will have to do the dirty thing and delist him

[sarah 2]

would but a friend has arranged her hens party on saturday from 200

[saintbrat]

Thommo said he is retiring and felt he wasn't enough of a 'name' to have to announce it;

I think he is wrong- anyone who plays 200+ games for a club has every right to 'Make an Announcement."

heard Archer say the same- felt he had made it plain he wasn't going on- But people still ask.

Thanks Corin, i'm gonna use that to get out of Friday's english sac.

[FullMonty]

Going this week and my son is playing in the Auskick at half time as a SAINT! What a great experience for him and me too
Hope we win both games!

[benoc]

I am flying down from Canberra for it.

Have to attend given the possibility of any one of numerous greats leaving the team at seasons end. And then if we do go on, I get to see us make the finals.

...And if we do make it into the finals and through to the semi's work is sending me down so I will just make a deviation.

Will probably deviate to one of the finals irrespective and if we aren't in it go for the opponents of my more hated side.

[BackFromUSA]

yep - members side and coming with a gorgeous guest from the USA ... boys who are in the members might want to sneak a peek ... LOL
