Re: Sightings

My sister who is also a Saints supporter saw Stevie Milne and his missus dining at Kelly's hotel in Cranbourne a couple of days ago. No idea why he was in Cranny, maybe heard about the excellent meals they have there so decided to go see for himself.

Re: Welcome back Ahmed Saad

Saad is looking great, has obviously worked very hard on his fitness.

It will be interesting to see how he has sharpened up his skills and goalkicking routine......can't wait to see him back in action!!

Re: We need to embrace New Zealand.

Sorry to put a damper on all the NZ backers, but I have never been a fan of us playing in NZ and never will be, regardless of how things turn out. Our game is a unique game that has always been played on Australian soil and that for me is how it should remain.....an Aussie game on Aussie soil. I'd l...

You cannot just pick the 'best player' from a highlights reel and disregard everything else when you ha...

Hughes is in an induced coma and will get further scans this afternoon. Next 24 hours critical according to the latest news @ 9.30am.

Re: Stadium experiences? what would you add - take away

I'd like to see opposition supporters seated in a different part of the ground so we don't have to sit next to them, unless of course they happen to be a friend, family member or relative who you normally go to a game with when the two teams meet each other. Also, a drop in food and drink prices, ch...

Re: Saad article in The Age

Saady is obviously hungry enough for another opportunity, there's no question about that, but I'm not sure we should pick him up again given the direction we are heading with youth.

Draft day always seems to have one or two surprises, I hope Saady is one of them, he deserves a second chance.

Re: Boring bickering.

I'm relatively new on here (16 months old ) and whilst I find some of the bickering, baiting, slanging matches etc.etc on this site entertaining and laughable at times, it does tend to go off topic a little too often. Having said that, I can't stop reading them as I don't want to miss anything!! :lol:

Unfortunately things didn't quite work out for him at St Kilda the way he would have liked, which no doubt contributed to him becoming homesick for his family back in SA etc. Good luck to him and his wife, glad to hear she's on the mend now that she's back home.

Re: permission to train

I'm sure both of these guys would still have a lot to offer another AFL club as they are still young, and everyone deserves a second chance, but I'm not sure we should be the one's to give it to them.

Neither of them are committing themselves as to who we will pick with our #1 choice. Very interesting to see who it will be if it isn't Petracca......Brayshaw maybe!!

I actually liked Terry as a footballer, pity he couldn't go on to become a regular in the team, he had a bit of flair about him and a great side step and ability to kick freakish goals.
