winmar was incredible.

akermanis isnt even indiginous. he just made one his remarks where "he thought he might be" cos one day he kind of felt like it when he was running or something.

another time where akers mouth reacted a little before his brain could catch up!

i had a mate i went to uni with, who was a very very good player and a great bloke as well. he went on to make the saints rookie list. i remember catching up with him one time, and i'll never forget what he told me (knowing i am a huge saints fan). he said he always thought he was a decent player, ...

winmar is still my favourite ever saints player. at this stage x and raph arent even close to him. and dont foget o loughlin darryl white, chris lewis, andy mcleod, farmer there are many many indiginous players a long way ahead of all those menioned. To me winmar changed the way people thought of in...

well can we let him train somewhere else. the last thing i want is another emotional draft choice based on family ties who is a complete DUD.

I see him regulalry at a Japanese resturant in Albert Park.
Can anyone shed any light on why the Saints gave him another year and then signed King. Doesnt make a heap of sense. I dont think he has cleaned up. The question is what is his foot like? Either he can run and kick without pain or he cant.

If 3 million victorians put in 100 dollars each we could buy the australian cricket team. Thats the only we can get a victorian in the side.

This is a great story.

Thanks guys. I think you are right about your comments. I actually forgot we had S King! Maxy must be getting to the end and Blake is a hack. People think he is like Goodes because he has abig engine and is tall but time and time again he lets himself down with decision making. Cant tie Goodes shoe ...

Obviously many people will disagree with me - but the imporant thing is I wrote down 26 names of players that are decent players. I cant find a spot for Rix or Blake in the top 26 assuming there are zero injuries. Fischer Fischer Dempster Gram Maguire Gilbert Baker Hayes Montagna Goddard Riewoldt Sc...

Jury well and truly out on birss. ask this question in 10 months time from today.

I have my doubts. Slow as treacle. Probably suited to 90's style footy. But then again - Shane O'Bree still gets a game - kind of similar to him.

recruited 2003. so yep. fair point. thats 2 players in 5 years then. still not real flash.

What are those monkeys getting paid for?

Agree - apart from gilbert the last 5 years have been a waste of time on the development front.

As I see it, taking on players like this is simply a lottery, irrespective of reputation, age etc. Give me a list of all those we have bought who have turned out to be champions or at least worthwhile. :lol: maybe - we know the kid can play. but there is a risk, the way i see it he takes 1 spot on ...

Even sadder for the person he crippled,accelerator stuck he reckons,whats a good lawyer worth anyway........

true. good call.

I would take him for sure. 23 is way too young to be on the scrap heap. He could play 5 years and 100 games for the Saints. Remember he was a firsat round draft pick and we are comparing him to someone at the bottom of our list in terms of pay -so sure - give him minimum wage and performance based c...

Ive got no issues with Gardi's body. Any reports on how is mind is?

lets just leave it at discipline issues...shall we?

you can take the kid out of hastings but you cant take the hastings out of the boy.

didnt turn up to training? on the booze or on the harder stuff?

Am I wrong, or did David Teague win Varltons B&F a few years ago? Surprised about McLaren, they were extatic to get him only a few years ago, beat a few clubs for him including our own, I think? Would we give him a go, considering we need a ruckman? No chance. D Mclaren is 10cm too short to be ...

i dont care about his hotness. but id have him at the saints in a heartbeat.
pre-season draft - here we come.

I just saw the footage

1. there were NO handcuffs
2. He was alone (no other player)
3. he looked a bit wired

IF there were handcuffs involved it must be serious. cops dont use handcuffs in australia unless it is serious.

i would think the bulldogs might seriously look at watts in the pre-season draft? i think he deserves a crack at a club that need him. facts are he is not as good as kosi and therefore we can do surplus to our needs. with king and M gardner in the ruck and charlie gardner (?) and kosi the tall timbe...

I know this is a saints forum but I feel the need to have a dig at Rocket Eade. The guy has his hed firmly planted either in the sand or up his own arse. He seems convinced he can forma premiership side based on a team of clones of himself. A team of wingman! It is obvious to everyone else that the ...
