Well said, ralphsmith. In my mind I see Nick running round the boundary like a gazelle and dobbing one of his five (?) goals against Collingwood in the '09 Qualifying Final at the MCG. At the moment I'm trying not to focus on the frustrations, the dreams unfulfilled. For the past 17 years he has bee...

PS I don't mind Savage but what was with that throw at the end?

Doea anyone know...did he mean to throw it over the guy's head or was it just a bad throw?
Did the other player do the old 'duck/look away so you don't get the ball' hoping for a 50?

I'm really excited about this year!

You say there'll be pain but who knows what this group can achieve? It's not impossible that we could make the 8!

Strewth the skills of these guys are incredible. 50m+ pin-point passes.

I really thought we carved Essendon up with our passing, and really should have won by 40+ points.
It doesn't matter..... A win is a win!

'The Dictionary' in Webster!

I like the boy!

Not sure about dropping Gwilt.
The boy from Noble Park really stood up in the last quarter!

Just have to add.......

Suck on that, Fish Lips!

My nephew was there with a BROKEN LEG in plaster ( from a soccer match last Sunday) sitting in the disabled seats on level 3 with his dad next to him. 3 votes, lad! We all enjoyed the win and a drink after the game . Suck on that, footy writers in the Age/HS etc. don't think anyone tipped us. This i...

Suck on that, Bombers!

Just saw some of the highlights on the afl website. That running goal from the 'Book of Eli' was shepherded through by.....the Maister! And? I go to work and hold the lift door opens. Stiff. Really? Are you holding back 100+ kilos of opposition player while you do it? Are you risking serious injury...

Saw Rhys take a beautiful mark, floating across the pack.

He has the skills and the physique.

Go Rhys!

'Delvene' Delaney has been a great pick-up!

You should go to the Locker Room, not the Victory Room! The Locker Room is Bogan Central, but I've gone in after both games. Saw Gilbert McAdam in there....and 'Tex' Perkins (a Saints supporter!) PS Young people are doing other things after the game and definitely don't want to hang around with a bu...

jacksback, sverik25 et al....hope you're enjoying that half-empty glass of shandy! Who cares if we finish last? I was referring to journos, Bigfooty boofheads and bullies who implied the Saints would certainly lose in round one and probably two as well. Personally i don't think we'll win the 'spoon'...

Get behind your team...including the 'Meistersinger'.

He shepherded through the 'Book of' Eli's running goal in the 3rd quarter...started the revival!

Good start for the President and the club.

Did he sit in the crowd?

Great move!

Condemned before the season by 75% of journos to win the wooden spoon. Riewoldt supposedly eking out his career with a bottom side while Goddard and Dal have gone to potential flag-winning sides. Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond, North, Essendon, West Coast, Sydney supposedly heading towards 'inevitab...

Just love big 'Reg' Hickey. Slotted 3 goals for us today.

I hope Beau's back this week...... He should get another game.
Finey doesn't pick the side!

I'd like a bit more love shown for the Maister.
He's playing a role in a developing team .
Fact is, not all players look like male models.
Bartlett, Ablett snr, 'Scratcher' Neal etc back in the day........

I don't mind 'Der Meistersinger '. He's wearing a Saints jumper and having a red hot go. That's all I care about. He'll get a game for as long as he's playing a role for the team.
Just 'cause Finey doesn't like him......that's irrelevant .
Who cares what he looks like?

A win is a win. How much better does it feel to start with a win?

'Don' Dunstan.........what a ripper!
