maybe it will be a case of sliding doors.

I'm quietly (very) confident that it won't be too long before Ro$$y starts wondering similarly.

that sounds like what the other clubs will be saying!

Hope that's right.

It may then mean that they then do not look into following our lead. If so, more fool them...

In what way/s? Did BJ elaborate on this? Thanks.

Hi Clarky, your stoic support for Ro$$y has been duly noted. BTW, I agree, rating him the best coach in the league - at least till Cuddles has time to settle in and prove himself. :wink: That said, purple doesn't suit him. My question is, where do you rate one of the players he resurected - yep Zac ...

Maybe, buy not in my opinion. Still sooooo sad he was cut down with that knee so early on. Way ahead of his time. Huge possession winner & nearly all would set up a team mate... could have been one of our best I reckon.

Many thanks again Mc A.

All that water was a great segue into the Spandy Andy @ St Kilda beach clip.

Seems it's all up in the air now...

Wow, I didn't know he was a supporter!

Of course he is!



(There are sooooo many biblical tie-ins... Saints... true faith... Sainters are God's chosen footabll supporters, patiently awaiting the Second Coming...)

This sounds very good to me Gringo. Although we still don't know his sources, I'm happy to back P66's judgement on player assessment. (Seems he gets around too - Tassie now.)

A Collingwood friend of mine says St Kilda wants to play in NZ because schoolgirls get out two hours earlier over there.

Anyone got a good comeback?

If we play the Filth over there, at least someone will be Beaming.

http://www.austadiums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3129 Thank you Majority for the link. Interesting pictures. My one question though is, where were all the people on the railway station footbridge going? Certainly not to the soccer. :shock: Maybe it was another one of those games where previo...

... It has been said for a long time that the Saints have a huge following , but in comparison to some, have always found it difficult to lift the Membership numbers from year to year. I've always felt that. A good example was the 1991 'Scary' Davenport game against the Filth at the 'G. 90000 crowd...

Wow - heard it first on Saintsational.

Does his girlfirend know about this?

Having now seen the replays, I now feel still not capable of submitting a side based on what's been on show till this weekend past - but I'm bored so I will anyway... With thanks to Spinner's initial post, and with locks in bold, positions fluid: Ray/Geary Simpkin/Wilkes Gram Cripps Fisher Gilbert M...

Game 1 vs Swannies - we won clearances however the big mac struggled in the ruck, Game 2 vs Geelong he did very well and he was able to find Ross a couple of times with some beautiful tapwork. One in particular comes to mind where he used his body to keep his opponent out and tapped with his left h...

For me, ( 2nd game) - some of the ruckwork from McEvoy down to Ross was fantastic. Hi Yipper, several posters have again expressed some concern re this area of Ben's game on Friday night. You are the first to be positive about his ruck work. Given this, could you elaborate a bit further? (I haven't...

Sack the board, leave Seaford and move to St kilda! Hi Barks, like you I would love to see the club back 'home' . And yes, after caving in to the council (councillors come and go) over moving a few pokies (c/f increasing their number), I was disappointed we didn't end up back at the Junction Oval. ...

Said Lenny has said he was the most skilled player he had played with. Interesting!

Hi Spinner, did you and P66 get to talk about anything else of interest on the night?

Just watched the two games straight through. Here's some thoughts on every player I saw: ... Lots of work to do, but it's always good to see some kids out there. Hi Bergholt, thanks very much for going to all that effort to write such a comprehensive report for those of us who weren't there. And th...

Well in breaking news, I should be there by then. Now I've seen it, it can't be unseen. Hi Eastern, if you'd read the 'My Family' thread, you'd have seen just how twisted, evil and dangerous HSV K is. You should have known better... :wink: HSV K, as per that other thread, keep on not taking your me...

This is definitely not an angry response, :) but I do take the opposite viewpoint. Yes, Roo has at times struggled with his kicking for goal, and at times really struggled. He's hardly Rob Crusoe on that one though. We now know some of the reasons for last year's output. On the (way) up side, he ha...

RIEWOLDT has always been overpaid IMO ! He has never been able to kick straight - how can he be on such ridiculous money ? The SAINTS have always treated their better players like demi gods and ROO is no different. Im sorry Im sure there will be angry responses but IMO Lenny HAYES and Sam FISHER ca...

There are some undeniable facts. Lyon's management (Elite) concluded a deal with St Kilda they felt was acceptable to all parties. They arranged to have their client come in and sign the contract. St Kilda felt confident enough that it had concluded a deal with Lyon that they called a press confere...

All things considered I was a huge fan of Ro$$y's time at our club. Fundamentally, I'd much rather us kick 12 goals and win by 5, than kick 14 and loose by 8. I remember the 80's, late 90's, early 2000's... St Kilda winning can never be boring. I also believe that he was going to address the needs ...

Crazy if true!

Whilst also wanting the best possible coverage, I hope the GF (and other major events) are never soley on pay TV.
