I was interested to see an article in today's Sun about Clinton, proclaiming an even stronger work ethic, fitness base and - most importantly - disposal skills! THE young players from far away used to be tagged "March champions" - train the house down over summer, only to go missing once t...

when is it actually released?? In stores and online? cheers

Kane Murphy could well become our best player tken through the NSW Scholarship program. His father was a top player for Sydney. I dont understand how we were able to snap him up. What year will he be coming through the system?? He sounds quite good - and lists Milne as his sports idol (in an interv...

And Fergus Watts

Good to see he's got a son/ future saint too!! And nearly the same height as him already!!

I would have to say the 97 prelim against North... it was such a fantastic match and feeling!! I remember singing "oh when the saints" all the way to the train station... Everyone was yelling and screaming, and it was simply awesome...

Gilbo is another who should take that next step in 09. He is the right height to assume that KPP role (194cm), however, has recently been given the roles on the opposition small - med forwards. We saw in the final against Collingwood what he is capable of, but in comparisson, the following week we w...

8) freo ends up 9th and misses because they lose the unlossable to a surging melbourne (third win after 19 loses in a row)

Haha... classic

That would make my year (or maybe a premiership... lol)

What position did Miles play in his Junior career?? It was FB if my memory serves me... Though he doesnt really seem the right height for a FB at AFL level, he could prove a good 3rd tall, able to run off their opponent - ala Sam Fish. Personally, i would be excited to see some more development from...

Archie did state in an Ask Archie a while ago that he had been approached, but confirmed his patriotism to st kilda...

However, being on a Saints forum, he's not going to say much else than that...

I've tracked down the article which explains it all: Jon Ralph | October 27, 2008 12:00am AFL rookies will have greater opportunity to shine next year, with clubs able to automatically elevate a rookie halfway through the season. As part of the compensation for clubs giving away valuable draft picks...

Correct me if im wrong, but is there not a new rule (thanks to GC17) that states that a club can elevate 2 rookies (minus the amount of veterans outside the list) to play as of round one?? So this would mean that we could automatically elevate one rookie (Maxy being the -1 veteran), say for example,...

Max even commented towards the end of the year when the topic of his retirement was raised, that if it werent for David Mission and Co. that he probably would have called it quits at the end of '08

Does anyone know when we should be receiving the membership packs in the mail?? I paid mine a few weeks ago, so eagerly waiting upon its arrival... Very excited about the next season... hopefully i can get to a few matches tho due to working on Sundays (those damn sunday games.... :evil: ) they sta...

Seems Zac has something to prove: Found this article this morning in the Age (and a shorter version in the Hun) ZAC Dawson is no longer the skinny kid given an infamously hard time by Anthony Rocca two years ago. The former Hawthorn full-back is heavier, stronger and, he believes, a much better foot...
