The Marngrook Footy Show was the only show I watched on the tired old Auntie ABC. I found it to be as refreshing as the Footy Show was when it first started. As a Sainter, I particularly loved Gilly hosting the show, along with the friendly banter between him and Ronnie Burns. I also found the guest...

We had bugger all choice but to deal with West Coast over Cripps as he was uncontracted. I still feel that we got screwed over that one too.

Just posing the question P66 as to whether this was the reason West Coast was so dogged about retaining Brown. I know that he was still contracted, but it did seem that they put a high price on the head of a player who they refuse to utilise. I put as much empasis on Crackers opinion as you appear t...

Interesting article in Inside Footy today from Crackers Keenan. "There was a whisper that Mitch Brown was offered to Essendon and GWS, but not StKilda. I hope the personal antipathy between certain key figures at StKilda and West Coast was not the stumbling block , but that is the word I'm gett...

I'm not one to show emotion against our ex players at games. However, I must admit I have been known to cheer more aggressively every time one of our players outplays an ex team mate, especially Hall against Sydney. Strangely Goddard is a player that I always felt would leave the Club eventually, ho...

McIntosh was initially drafted at 9 and has now developed... Stephen Hooper was initially drafted at pick 1 and has surely developed in the last 22 years, maybe we should pick him? Unfortunately the only recent development by McIntosh has been to pick up enough injuries to only allow him to play 8 ...

Congrats Saintsrising on a comprehensive and realistic post on where our Club is at for 2013. For the first time in recent years, we appear to be making selections re age group and positions to account for natural attrition of our list over the coming years. I have every confidence in Watters and Co...

OK, could we please cease the constant negativiity against our Club that seems to have crept into this forum. Although only a recent contributor here, due to my previous poor computer skills, I have been a tragic Saints supporter since 1960. This has caused negative comments from opposition supporte...

Here's a tip for all you sooks lamenting no first round picks... When the draft is on & Demetriou is about to announce pick 12, turn the volume down & announce loudly- "St Kilda pick player 35876 Tom Lee- Claremont Football Club". Then imagine Shifter Sheahan commenting that the S...

I also used to love the trade period, the excitement of new blood into the club always allowed new hope for the season ahead. However, now with free trade, we find that the only clubs so far who have benefited are those so called power clubs or the two new clubs. This includes Essendon(Goddard), Syd...

Went to my favourite A League show on Fox Sports and who should be hosting - yep, don't watch anymore.

Is there anyone out there who agrees with me that everyones fears that we are far worse off leading into 2012 are nothing but a myth? This is the way that I see the Club starting 2012 season. Losses: Coach Ross Lyon 2 Grand Finals in 4 years - 2 losses Players Tom Lynch 6 games performance average T...

http://www.collectibleviolins.com/images/violin.gif Perhaps we should have a separate forum for those of us who are over 18? Plenty of adult chat forums out there for you… We could also have a separate forum for wankers without a sense of humour. Sorry mate, to barrack for this club you have to h...

It's great to get back to pairs of double consonants like under dear old Rod. Rod Butterss - what a great pair of doubles! Now Scott Watters. Shame it wasn't Watterss. Ross Lyon had double consonants so did Graham Gellie and Enrico Misso :!: Edit: Just read more closely. We need pairs of double con...

Yep, playing in GF's (and being in a position to win till the very last moments) is not exciting. Rather get belted in a prelim or elimination final, or better yet not make the finals at all by playing no holds barred 2 dimensional footy... glad this new coach is a straight talker, very relieved to...

While I don't disagree with the sentiment of the OP, I take issue with the thread title. http://gosaints123.edublogs.org/files/2011/08/562611-greatest-grand-final-marks1-1lpifgj.jpg Apologies to those for whom old wounds will be opened through viewing the above image.

Woopee Doo.

Now that's negative!

Is "Stevie Rae" a true supporter or will he jump ship like his player namesake too

Now your sounding positive Guru.
Good onya mate.
I want to see what youth we can instill in our team from those currently on our list who have had little opportunity, as well as those we will pick up using our eight selections in the draft

:cry: :cry: seems to me Guru your full of negatives. What happened to the Saints supporters of old who stuck through thick & thin. I've been a supporter for 50 years and also must admit that some of the least enjoyable moments have come during the past 5 years - negative football, negative suppo...
