Nothing says you can't play at AFL level like playing a couple of good games at AFL level. Even if he is injury prone, we're twelve months out from drafting Jesse Smith, and Raph Clarke is still on the list. If Eddy was good enough to be part of our best chances against Collingwood, then how is he ...

Who has a strong pain threshold

I want to try and move on now and lighten things up a little with something that just crossed my mind. A few years ago I thought I would dust off the 1997 GF dvd and have my first attempt at watching it again but got to the end of the 3rd quarter and couldn't bare any more. Would be Interseted to kn...

Looks like I could treasure the GF draw

This could be as good as it gets. As sad as It sounds after 46 years of patience and sufferance the draw maybe the thrilling GF match I can sit and watch in future without the painful ending of a loss. In fact I might put it on now for the first run to get my rocks off to help me recover from yester...

Re: I LOVE THE ST.KILDA FOOTBALL CLUB

Poor showing today, but i will never give up hope of us winning a grandfinal. Excellent year by the saints considering what went on off field during 2010 Could we honestly say if collingwood had the off field dramas that st.kilda did, do you think they would of made the eight GUTSY EFFORT SAINTS i ...

Blake. Probably Gram.

Far too many players who, to be kind, are inconsistent by foot.

They could be the most deadliest kicks in the comp but it means nothing if you don't get the ball

Re: Lets put 2010 behind us and look to 2011

2011 can be the year of the saints, but it wont be if those awesome players don't get the same support again in 2011 as they got this year! So stop falling off the bandwagon, yes it hurts, but we all need to keep the faith and stop depressing over what might of been! Lets be realistic. Unless we ma...

Our players overall even the top enders lack in this area. But if they had some super quick kids around them IMO things would be very different for us.

Re: Impossible to win a GF with current list

Not because they arent good enough but losing or not winning 3 GF in a row must hve huge mental scaring. How could they possibly come back from that. No your wrong it's because they aren't good enough. Eddy, McQualter, Kosi, Clarke, Armitage, McEvoy, Peake, Dawson are all well and good floating aro...

He enjoys the $$$$$$. Helps fund Maxton Constructions. Good luck to him. Footy is ultimately a business to most of these guys now. That's what's important to him at the end of the day. I reckon that's pretty rough mate. Maxy is employed to do a job. Did the saints offer him a job? Should the blues ...

Thanks Tef I've been on here long enough to be used to the small minded people.

He needs to learn to take the ball from half back, run and carry flat out and send a 60 metre kick to full forward and hit Roo on the chest.

What an absolute tragedy.

I can't believe this is even being discussed. The shirtfront is one of the greatest sights to behold on the footy field. Dealing them out is an art most of the time too. If a bloke puts himself in the postion to be cleaned up he's fair game, Saints player or not. It can change the game in an instan...

Do we need big heavy bumps?

I know I'm in the minority on this one but just curious to see opinions on this. Apart from the thrill of seeing a player get seriously hurt or stretchered of the ground with concussion (which does nothing for me at all) I don't understand the need or purpose of the "FAIR bump" or big hip ...
