Played with Warby in 2000 won a flag with us. Coached Rutherglen in 2006 put a clearance in to comeback to us but ended up going back to Perth leaving all his memborilia at my house. His St kilda team of the century jumper is on my pool room wall. If I see that jumper on ebay I will be angry :lol: ...

Reaching into the dark recesses of my memory isnt Nicky Winmar playing up in the Vic country league I know he has played for Warburton before

The whole "BAN Barry" thing makes me laugh where in the rules of the forum does it say you HAVE to barrack for StKilda? His recent postings have been nothing but supportive of the club and he even wants to sign up for a players sponsorship! SO at this point I guess I'm with Dan Warna on th...

Yep the "Heads as big as puddings" comment springs to mind Lazy performances has crept into far too many players games. read the clarkes, Dall Santo, goddard.... I would add Ball & baker to the list of gut runners tho and I think Blake has started to improve in this area as well. A fou...

Which is exactly why I went in swinging for Rix time and time again on this forum. Yeah Stinger, in 6 years Brooks kicked three goals in one Lions game against an undermanned end of season dead rubber. But then there is always THAT handball against PA down in tassie. They even out. :oops: Yeah I hop...

Yeah I think John Barker??? was drummer for the "Boys"

That puts you around the same vintage as me Saint66au

Yeah I think the decision on Watts is harsh and yes I would like to see him picked up again in the upcoming drafts and he may well be...but in his own words he says he carries chronic OP, and his ankles are obviously not coping with his 198cm, 100kg frame. Maybe the medical staff had just as much s...

The Kellaways (Richmond)
also John Schultz (1960 brownlow played for Footscray)

This is the $64mill question. Personally I think if we do not pick up any other suitable players, (which will be unlikely) that a status quo will exist with Roo CHF and Kosi FF. Roo has a much bigger tank for the role of CHF, but I think during the course of the game RL will mix it up switching Roo ...

Skeptic you and few others have an agenda about Rix, But i strongly suggest you get yourself copies of games, and sit down and actually watch his play. Then and only then will you realise why he gets a game and Brooks doesnt. Cant tackle??? I have seen Rix run past Del Santo to run down the oppositi...

I have a theory about this years drafting The club is building a team to give Harvey the best chance possible to win the flag in 08. Three of the four picks so far are quality and ready made, will add depth and put pressure on the top 22 list. Pick 9 to come for a kid that may "burst" on t...

Can some of you experts please explain something to me?

IF Brooks is so good, and Rix is nothing more than a hack VFL level ruckman.

How come two coaches have let Rix keep Brooks out of a job for a season and a half?

I have thought this a good idea for a long time. Hate the saint website, too hamstrung by the telstra hype, and very little substance. My vote would be to use WOM as the base and build up from there. Would like to to see a dedicated audio stream on gamedays, with live chat in a window, it would feel...

Welcome RoseInOZ
if you can't get to the Dome on the weekends, the best alternative is up here in QLD

Gday Bev
Please pass on my congratulations to the FF group.
The important issues are now,
trading to enable the team to win the flag in 08 fr Harvey's sake
training improvements, including ground facilities
Sponsorship signings
and standing up for the club in the face of the AFL

Gary Pert announced it on SEN
no real reasons given for Judd's decision, but obviously the B&W filth not willing to give up anything trade wise.
Carlton still negotiating but this brings Richmond right into the equation

Great post Saintbot, I admire people who base their posts with a touch of reality. As an addendum to the Ball Vs Judd debate, I think I am right in saying that there were some big doubts over Judds shoulders when he was drafted. PS meant to add I have a used crystal ball going cheap if anyone is int...

Please dont confuse this as a for/against vote for either camp... But I was sorting through what my hard drive caught on wednesday TV and found an interesting snippet from Beyond 2000 (@ 2005) They interviewed a Prof David Morgan who was studying hamstring injuries at Monash University. He claimed t...

Against us Fev's run down from behind gather the ball and slot one through from 50 out was pretty special.
Lloyd dropped the ball in a tackle, gee you could even argue he threw the ball, either way free kick end of story...!

Will always remember Gary Colling jumping the backyard fence to take Southmoor PS footy training a couple of times. He was a GIANT , well I was only ten, and it was prior to '78 Great clubman, tried his heart out, epitomized the GOP tag. Would hate to think of the basting he would cop on this board ...

Hey MSG and Stinger give it a rest , seriously Rix is our best ruckman at the moment, and has been for a while now. I hope Gardiner comes good but what if he doesnt and here you are in the next breathe wanting to get rid of a ruckman. Mindless regurgitated drivel, try lifting the game a bit...? Broo...

What do you make of all this? Has the current board and especially Butterss dropped the ball of late, definitely. They just seem to crash head first from one problem to another. Are all the criticisms of the football department warranted? Yes but what is the answer, more money or better skilled staf...

Heard Steve Carey (Ch& News Boss) that the 2 people charged by Police over teh Medical Files have been charged with THEFT but not with stealing them from the offices of the Rehab Clinic. They have been charged with THEFT by FINDING?. Apparently by finding them in the gutter and not returning th...

The 7/10 combo is miles ahead of the offering from chanel Ed If I had to put up with another game of Lyon/Taylor/Brayshaw carrying on about someone putting up "the dukes" I would gladly kill myself. Up in QLD we now get more free to air games than ever. The 8:30 delayed games on friday is ...
