Re: 8 reasons for saints fansto be excited

Cautiously excited is how I would categorise Robbo and his chances, I doubt very much he will be selected round 1 as he's missed way too much footy and I suspect his medical condition will need to be monitored for a good block of footy at VFL level. We just have other options now who are capable of...

Re: Paddy to be delisted

Correct, he was a risky DP at the pick we took him. It was AR who seriously questioned the selection, but trout who reassured the football dept that he was the right pick. The question was over his athletic profile, and whether his condition inhibited his ability to become elite standard fitness. T...

Re: Was this our best win ever?

This was a beauty, but when you’ve only won one Premiership it’s pretty hard to call any other win the greatest. Best I saw was the 97 Prelim. Beat the defending premiers to make our first GF in 26 years. Great night.

Re: Why trade away so many picks?

It’s been nearly 20 years since we successfully built a side using the draft/develop our own method and even then we brought a lot in. Happy to try something different.

Re: Jamie Cripps

Didn’t want to be there. Total sook. Players didn’t like him at all. P.S. Either did I. I think he was quoted as saying that he discovered he had diabetes, a week or two before draft day, and was scared he'd miss out- and didn't tell us until AFTER being drafted. He further said our medicos gave hi...

Bleeding heart it seems. Good. More power to him. Not good when it influences his decisions. Call me old-fashioned but I like a judiciary that makes decisions based on the law rather than on personal political preference. If they’re genuine refugees under the law then let them stay. But if they’re ...

No doubt it wasn’t as bad in the first half. Second half was disgraceful. It’s about more than just the numbers - she’s just not up to it. Anyone who denies this is pushing an agenda.
