In my opinion both Mini and Geary are very nervous shooting for goal and often miss or look for another option. Armitage however, has the confidence to go back and have a shot.

I believe the three have reasonable credentials for inclusion but for me, Armo wins because of his confidence near goal.

Hi all, please exclude the intrusion but would anyone have a high resolution .jpg or our emblem? I've tried searching but all I find are low res. Thanks all.

Golly it drives me blo.dy crazy!

I do get absolutely frustrated trying to read different view points about footy topics. Living in NSW, I do miss the friendly banter etc. at the local over a few quiet ones. So, I venture to this site to hear (read) the opinions of others. From time to time I respond, sometimes others may agree, oth...

Welcome - I was 12 when I seen the Saints win a premiership.

I hope you are still only 9 when you see then win one!

You are also one of the very few not to draw an immediate negative response from somone on this forum.

Cheers and Go Saints!

Someone on this site is an absolute pain in the backside and makes threads by those wishing to constructively contribute (whether you agree with the opionion or not) far less enjoyable to read.

With about a dozen goals in as many games, and basically as the main option with Nick's absence, I don't think he has set the world on fire as a forward. And, as for busting packs and bringing the ball to the ground - the "Galloping Gasometer" - Mick Nolan could have done that! For goodnes...

Kosi won't be dropped because there is a more than even chance he won't play any better for the Zebras. Then how the hell could they promote hin to the seniors?

Woops - one other thing. I hope the MRP do not decide to back track on last week's notorious "Judd insufficient force" debacle to save face this week and cite Baker for striking. If I have ever seen insufficient force this season it was Baker's on Johnson. Then again hasn't Bakes also been...

I think it was very similar to the Jeff Farmer incident several years ago. Baker stopped moving and allowed Johnson's elbow to hit him in the eye.

Therefore with a prior record for this type of stationary movement - Baker surely must cop weeks.

He may even get more for allowing himself to bleed!

With respect to Kosi - I am just frustrated to see the ball go through his hands when attempting to mark. If he held those ones we wouldn't be on page 6 of this thread. Does anyone know if Kosi has a problem marking the ball at training. I would be happier to see Kosi trying to mark with his hands f...

Since last years GF - I have been keen to see how Milne, Schneider and McQualter perform when kicking for goal.

For Grumpy Ones benefit:

The normal course of action for police is to prosecute when they believe a charge is likely to be sustanined by the Courts, as in contrast to a person could be guilty.

Not passing judgment, just stating fact.

Sorry, but I can't agree with the posters who say that Stanley is not ready.

I wonder how quick Rich from Brisbane or Selwood from the Cats managed to learn playing sen...

I don't want to be pedantic here but I really hate how the media portray Lovett as a St. Kilda player. Lovett is a "former St. Kilda recruit" similar to the multitude who have been on our list and never played a game of senior footy. In Lovett's case, never a game of footy at any level. To...
