Re: I hate Melbourne

I'm with you Saintpremiers. I do not want to see Melbourne win a flag ... at least until we win one. Can you imagine the commentators .... "Poor old St Kilda the only Melb team that hasn't won a flag in over 50 years."

Thanks for sharing guys. Feel a bit better ... or is that bitter. Here's hoping for a better 2019.

Sour Saint

Does anyone else feel like me? Maybe older fans. Watched about 5 mins of Thur night final. Once it looked like Tigers had it - lost interest. I have hardly watched a Grand Final all the way through in recent times - and certainly not watched the 'celebrations' since we lost in 2010. Since the Saints...

Re: Ratten joins Saints

Here's my take. We begin season 2019 with a few losses or embarrassing results in early rounds - goodbye Richo - hello Ratten as senior coach.

And who would you pick to have a better season in 2019? Lions, Blues or Saints? Yeah - exactly. Wooden spoon locked in for 2019.

Re: St Kilda v Sydney 1991

Yes I did notice the theme song when I was re-watching. Agree. One week later just went down to Geelong. Ablett managed to rough up Burkie and David Grant and I reckon that was enough to cause a loss.

St Kilda v Sydney 1991

I've just uploaded this to YouTube. It's from my private video collection. Not the best quality but does capture the atmosphere of a great Saints win at Moorabbin. Enjoy.

Oh yes Richmond has breeze in 1st q - but zero to 47 mins at 28 min mark is pretty pathetic.

Re: Sandringham v Richmond 22/07

Yeah really enjoying this ... Tigers 41, Sandringham 0 in first quarter. Obviously no Saints players interested in senior selection for next week! More time in seconds for Acres, Freeman, Pato and others

Re: Carlton - a historical perspective

Thanks for those interesting stats. My late Dad followed the Blues but I chose the Saints. I used to go to Blues games with Dad in '60s and I'd alsways look forward to the Saints clash ... and we always lost! Although I do recall a wet day at Moorabbin when McMaster-Smith (from memory) kicked a late...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 13 2018

I'm just happy for a win. Much much better than Suns replying with a goal in the dying seconds. For some of our players they sing theme song for first time.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 13 2018

People say ... keep the faith ... don't knock the team .... be positive ... I just feel like no St Kilda supporter should turn up for another game until we show something worthy of a professional football club. To be in the 2nd q getting thrashed by a poor team is beyond pathetic.

What 19 points down against a crap team. Just said to my son ... we've lost it. Hang on now 25 points down ... we're gone!! Bloody hopeless lot. Soooooo disappointing.

So we end up 16th this year ... and that looks very very likely. What happens in 2019 - do we really believe Alan Richardson if he said ... "yes 2018 was a bad year - but I have confidence I can lead the team into the top 8 this year." I hate changing coaches ... but let's face it when you...

As a very long time supporter I can't remember a time when we were so bad at shots on goal. Every week I keep hoping for something better ... but our forwards - and anyone who has shots on goal is PATHETIC!

Still think Nick Riewoldt was stupid not to captain in his final year. Should have been AFL's 'longest serving captain' ! Geary could have taken over in 2018 ... or someone else?
