Re: Waverley- the original dream

Saw David Bowie there towards the end of 1983. Wikipedia says November 12. Stage was set facing the Kenneth Luke Stand, so the audio bounced back off the stand creating an interesting reverb effect. David tried his hardest but it's hard to get the crowd going when it's a chilly Melbourne evening, th...

Re: You have to be happy with that draw

Yep loved it a lot. Four quarters of great effort. Holmes rather good for a first game.
As Bergholt said, wish I'd gone.

Re: Is a touch-up on the cards vs. Port?

Intriguing, extraordinary thread. Plugger is the good guy in this one...you're the man! Clayton Davis sends it into the surreal. I've heard of something called "topic creep" and I think this thread may have a case of it. Still...Saints not without a chance on Sunday...twin talls McCartin a...

Re: What are the reasons behind the lower supporter base?

Failure to convert occasional supporters during "successful" years 2006 to 2011.
Damage to brand during "St Kilda schoolgirl" saga etc.
Poor promotion of 3-match Membership, until now. Hawks etc drive this big-time.
Docklands stadium vs MCG for infrequent visitors.

Re: Saints biggest wins

Fond memories of those games in the early 90s at Moorabbin...when Adelaide and Sydney were bunny sides.
You could walk into the ground knowing that if Plugger was fit and playing that a 10-goal victory was on the cards.

Re: Come home Brendon

Our playing group has moved on. Bringing Goddard back would only be destabilising to the
team unity that Richardson is nurturing.

Re: Neil Craig

What are the chances of a resignation ?
"I feel it may be time for someone else to carry on going forward etc etc".
It looks like he's lost the players, and that's usually the beginning of the end.

Re: Did anyone else....

Worth watching a dozen times!
Two gut-busting sprints from Jack Steven in the very last minute of the game.
Plus Jack Lonie's deft gather and give, with a couple of shimmies.
Plus Weller's shepherd in the centre square.
And I think we see where Longer got his face cut open....nothing sinister.

Re: No kick to kick a kick in the guts

The signs flashing on the big screens saying "MAKE SOME NOISE" were pretty laughable.
The Saints fans around me were pretty subdued for much of the game, but trying to artificially pump
up the atmosphere reeks of desperation by Etihad management.

Re: Boys torched it in front

Yep, slaughtered the ball going forward. 10.13 is bad kicking. 2.5 in 2nd qtr.
Crows did flood back fast to block-up the 50 metre arc, and then
pantsed us on the rebound. Missed Riewoldt as link-man on HF line.
Basil Zempilas is torture to listen to.
