I am pretty sure that Daryl wanted to go "home" to Port Adelaide an in effect "walked out". Shane wanted to stay but had injury concerns as expressed earlier. He was as well recovering from a massively busted jaw. I remember a radio interview with him where he said he had to feed...

Nicky Winmar I will never forgive the club for giving him the arse. A bit before my time, Roy Cazaly. Winmar is a difficult one - clearly an out and out champion but a tormented character. Did not do the team much good in the final against Melbourne in 1998 when he lost his marbles. I seem to remem...

Val Perovic was a big loss at the time. In some ways Gary Sidebottom was a critical loss. Fantastic 1978 and 1979 but lost all form in 1980 when made Captain. Missed the bus at Geelong and was serviceable at Fitzroy. Stuart Trott ended up at Hawthorn but this was a bit before my time and I do not kn...

Geelong's window was shut this time last year.

What about Doug Cox? Looked very promising at first. We went to court to keep him, then he slapped us in the face and went to Richmond. Originally from South Mildura. Came to St Kilda via West Torrens however Richmond claimed he was zoned to them because he was from Mildura. Went to Essendon after ...

Paul Harding was handy despite a shocker in the 91 final. After threatening to leave each year I think he wanted to stay but got the flick. Phil Narkle also returned to the west. One of the Morwoods left as soon as his contract finished - straight after a B&F win (1985?). Jeff Dunne went to Rich...

I think that the owners of "The Saint" ie. Simon Templar, took action to ban the St Kilda Football Club from using the "Stick Man" as shown in the 1977 Logo. I understand that they may also take action against a rogue Saintsational poster who is using a licensed DVD product as hi...

Begley has become a leader as Timmid predicted. Good luck to him although he never did us much good. http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,22616524%255E19772,00.html FREMANTLE has appointed Brisbane Lions two-time premiership player Chris Scott as an assistant coach and for...

Could not win with Lappin. A slow starter with the Saints and every time he got into the seniors had no luck. I remember him finally getting a game and getting pinged twice against West Coast in Perth for deliberate out of bounds decisions. Decisions the umpires in the Fremantle (Away) 2005 match wo...

um...has Sheldon left?

Clearly the ruck problem is not fixed but it is certainly "less bad". Teams were fighting over Evertitt at 33 years of age. King could play for another five seasons (I doubt it but it could happen). I think we are a lot better off than the same time last week.

Are you kidding!!!!! Blake in the top 10 at our B & F no wonder we are going backwards. He is Lucky Nine !! SAINTS' TOP 10 Nick Riewoldt 529 Sam Fisher 488 Leigh Montagna 442 Nick Dal Santo 436 Lenny Hayes 422 Jason Gram 379 Robert Harvey 363 Fraser Gehrig 357 Jason Blake 350 Steven Baker 323

Well who would have thought, I always knew he had it in him. A just reward for his best season to date. Expect top 5 next year!!!*



*Well - perhaps not !!

Howdy Sax Welcome to the Jungle !! He can certainly play but he has also been a fair bit of trouble to West Coast. If he does end up as available it would be interesting to see how much interest there is. I suppose he would be worth a punt if he seems to have his head screwed on properly. However, I...

One can only hope that the new management will sign Bakes up without much more fuss. Never ever forget why you hate Carlton !! http://realfooty.com.au/news/news/blues-on-prowl-for-new-talent/2007/10/04/1191091278837.html CARLTON'S return to its predatory best has not been confined to its pursuit of ...

Agree that Geelong was best this year by a mile. However, teams like Freo and Port get rewarded for being unpopular in Melbourne. Not only do they get twelve home games - ten of which with a massive home advantage....but they also play a few "away" games with no disadvantage. This gives te...

Excellent Post this one !! Actually puts the recruitment dept in a pretty good light. I think Blake should have been rated as an "Average" (in the true sense of the word), pick. He is no champion but he really is no dud either (true!!). I think Fergus Watts may become another Brooks. The S...

Had the 2004 home game against Port not been played in Tassie but in Melbourne we would have won it. Then we would have finished top of the ladder. Then all our finals would have been in Melbourne. Then we would be polishing the silverware right now !!!!

Then again....

Vote Labor !!

Yup - that is what they said. Was probably never going to leave !!

Jezza after 1979?? Followed an argument with the the club's President. This must mean that Bummer will go to the Saints !!

I don't know why he is getting the flick - Seven did not say.

I also don't really know why I get why I get pleasure from it. I just do. I have no doubt he did what was best for him !!

According to Channel 7 he will not be offered a new contract at the Dorks. I don't know why, but I get some strange pleasure from this.

I for one will stick to the topic and believe this to be good news.

Definately worth a look, is he originally a Victorian??
