Would have to say that Adam Simpson from the Kangas is underrated even though he is captain. Gets a ton of it but is unobtrusive. Also, some players from cruddy clubs like Melbourne generally are under rated, like Daniel Ward , Matthew Whelan etc... As was stated previously, you Victorians also som...

Back to the captaincy...(although the funding discussion was valid in this topic as people speculated about the announcement that may have been happening). Rooey will be named sole captain. He will be captain for years. The Saints need to do everything to secure him for post 2010 when the new team ...

Re: How much good fotune did we have with our appointment of

While I loved the innovation of GT I can't help but be thankful for the selection panel that appointed RL. To me the timing of the sacking of GT and the subsequent coaches that we had to choose from as a replacement was a stroke of good fortune that has turned our club into a formidable outfit this...

St Fid, - A serious question from a non-Christian. Why is Xmas day on Dec 25 yet the Easter date changes every year? Easter is dependant on the moon cycles. As a catholic, and also of Greek heritage, we get two easters most year, the Greek one is based, i think, more truely on the moon. I'm not exa...

Our backline was murdered in the second half of the year. We played 5-6 games with virtually no one down there. Max,Maguire,Penny were out. I can't remember specifically now,but our second half of the year wasn't great with injuries.

The 04 pre season cup win and the 08 win are completly different i think. In 04 we came out firing on pretty much all cylinders straight away and then took that into the season proper. This time around we've won the cup,but don't think we're firing and flowing at all. Lots of improvement to come yet...

Great idea, very similar to the one they do on the Saints board on BigFooty. I would be happy to run it, and follow the system you have proposed.

One for one of the mods to get up and running. It's been talked about for the last couple of seasons but nothing ever happens.
