Thanks to everyone for the time you've put into this. Hope to meet some of you in the not too distant future. [cheque is in the mail tonight]

Gee - this is a hot topic!! Just confirming that I'll have one share too.

Yes , I'm almost sure this was mentioned on ABC radio over the weekend ??sports central. The presenter for memory mentioned that he had been talking to Ross Lyon the night before and that the Saints were interested in Richard Cole.

The article was, of course, highlighting the very significant grief associated with miscarriage and Harves and Danielle very generously shared their experience. My admiration for Harves has doubled [if that's possible] given the challenges he's obviously faced in his family life.

The sponsorship sounds great. I'm on board for it if you need more forumites.

Love the dome specially with the roof closed anytime. Sat night probably favourite - nice to have a drink or tea at docklands before the game. Can't stand playing [and losing] on Friday night.

The National Anthem gets me going each and EVERY time saints are involved in a final but the day after 2005 P/F I was very tearful. Such a sad end to the ride after a fantastic trip to Adelaide for the Q/F the week before.

I have to agree with aussierules that we should 'hang on to any shred of heritage that we can' by staying at Moorabbin if possible. Failing that I would selfishly support a centralish location. Being one of those strange supporters who now reside in the western suburbs, Frankston/Cranbourne etc soun...

Interesting that Gardiner wasn't there. Does anybody know the story there??

Jill - did your pop live near the ground in Moorabbin like mine?? I can only boast 46 years support but feel like I know you. I agree in particular about the big screen needing to be revived for all interstate matches. Saintsational members were often looking for somewhere to gather during this seas...

I'm extremely confident we'll make the finals in 2008.

G/F?? Hopefully with a bit of improvement on the injury side we've got as much chance as anyone else. Hell yeah!!

Just a shocking time of year when the ride comes to an end, specially considering that we should be in there. I wouldn't really care what happens now -have stopped reading papers SEN etc. Good thing is in three weeks we'll all be back on a level playing field.

I wasn't at the game on Sat but heard about Fraser on the radio during the game. Even though I had suggested to a few that it might be Fraser's last game, I still gasped out loud when it was confirmed.Was very fond of Fraser. He was so talented and so funny. Have to say that his shot for goal after ...

I don't know that many would agree but do you think more credit should be given for the durability of a player in terms of just how often they're available for selection? Thinking of say Sammy, Max maybe even Lenny - we all admire their courage and kamikaze exploits but on balance we need them on th...

Irrespective of Jayden's abilities and potential abilities I would like to acknowledge his efforts this year and wish him well for his TKR and rehabilitation.

Another thing that really concerns me is the weight that 'the medical report' can be given. I mean the fact that a medical report isn't too bad doesn't neccessarily mean that the offenders actions were potentially any less serious.

Thats awesome. My son also played for the saints at auskick and wore no. 5. His scariest memory was forming the guard of honour for the players and seeing our Fraser close up!! Hope you enjoy it.

Yeah...possibilty of TWO nerve racking games in one weekend is very alarming.I'm looking forward to watching the delayed coverage on ten cos it could be quite enjoyable if the pies get up. If things are looking otherwise telly goes off and it's going to be a very black night. Must be hard for the te...

Fantastic timing for a Geelong loss! I really think a bit of self doubt and even minimal injuries could really destabilize them and open the whole thing up. [Would be the first and last time I've got excited for Port]

Which day do collingwood play the crows next w/e as in will we know the result of that when we play?

Good to hear from you Jewellzy. Can be lonely being a saints supporter in the western suburbs can't it??

Oh dear - I have a love/hate relationship with Raph. His holding the ball on the wing for SO LONG while Grammy & Dal called for it in the corridor was my absolutely most frustrating moment of the night, second only to Milne's failure to centre the ball from hard on the bounary line where he kick...

Hey that brick wall side swiped what I was trying to say which was that Bakes shouldn't be convicted of perhaps misunderstanding the subtleties of terms like 'initiating the contact' . GO BAKES

They all seem so hung up on Bakes agreeing that he did 'initiate' the contact but he's actually just initiated the blocking movement. Bakes shouldn't be convicted of perhaps misunderstanding the subtleties of the wording.

Can anyone enlighten me?? Do the three past players making up the tribunal acutally have adequate backgrounds/analytical skills to get their heads around the intricacies of a complex case like this. Are they really qualified to do this type of stuff? Is there some sort of legal expertise at all in t...
