Not saying you're doing it Gershwin but the whining about teacher's holidays as always perplexed me. School holidays are part of the job description, if people want 12 weeks off each year then go & do a 4 year teaching degree. My wife was a teacher before becoming a Uni academic in Teacher Educ...

money, facilities, prestige Its the reason those clubs keep winning GFs, and we, well we have one That's BS. The club with the most money, best facilities and highest prestige has 2 flags in 60 years - collingwood, well behind the poorest club with the worst facilities - north who have what 4 in la...

Annoys me no end. We must be hard up for cash.
How about a sponsor instead?

Supporters dudded big time.

Why is the AFL doing this? They need to invest more money on the game in Australia, especially grassroots, instead of this piece of nonsense.

Would be sorry to see him go.
He's a gutsy player and we need more, not less, of his type.

I'm meeting all my female country cousins at the ground. We will be cheering for our team, looking to the positives and the improvements we've seen this season.
We will always be passionate Sainters. Bad umpiring needs to be taken up elsewhere, not by boycotting games. Go You Saints!

I sincerely hope Raph stays with us.
He is gutsy and a great clubman.
Go Raph!

Has the list been updated yet?

Luv ya Raph.

Welcome back. The Saints are coming...

Went to the game on Saturday night - in MCC area. Felt the Saints representation was OK.
Would like to go next Monday night except I'VE GOT TICKETS TO PRINCE...

Surely he has to wear the huge drop in membership. Even more so, the hopeless state of our sponsorship. I don't have confidence in him. He's bungled lots and was not able to articulate any plan re improving things when questioned at the AGM.

And two for me, too.

How many are we up to?

I, too, would like to thank Paul for raising the issue both at the AGM and on this forum. I hated it when the club announced Centrebet as its sponsor, tough times or not. Gambling is an industry of misery. It certainly doesn't make me proud to see this sponsor's name emblazoned across all our club a...

Yep, let's go Sainters!

3 for me (at this stage.)

Thanks MM.

Congratulations, Jason Blake.

You are great player and loyal servant of the club.

Whoever you are marrying has scored themselves a true gentleman, a really decent person.

All the best to you both. Long life and happiness.

Please, just get him off mods.

Hate seeing him there, want him gone. No longer a Sainter, so bugger him, I say.

Can we get our money back from Tommy so that it can be redirected to a player who is committed to the club?
With his new deal at Sydney ($$$) he shouldn't find this too much of an ask...

In a word - revolting. Can't believe that our club/players would perform such an act. It was so demeaning to women. Really disappointed in Sam Fisher as I had (obviously mistakenly) believed that he had a bit of a brain. Particularly galling given the events that the club has been embroiled in this ...

Dean Wallis?

Why on earth wouldn't we keep him?
Loyal and admired by other players, gives his all, versatile, needed.

In the words of some other poster, 'Gotta love the Blake.'

No, just looked really amateurish and re-inforced widely held (mine) view that Saints are crap at PR/ media management.

Think he's a moron, too.

But was NOT a good look to see Nettlefold on the phone and pacing frantically in his office on the night. Should have had enough sense to shut the blinds!

2012 - 'I'M ON BOARD FOR THE REBUILD.'

Alan Jeans stayed as a boarder with my mother, Pat, when he was a young man. He was just down from Finley, NSW. Her brother, Peter Clancy, was also a boarder and a good friend of 'Yabby'. They both played for the Saints. I remember a couple of times at Moorabbin and Waverley, when my mum would see '...

I'll have a go here.
I listened via the internet radio O/S.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing - after half time, a disgrace. Last quarter, you're gagging me. How could anyone, let alone young kids (our future) be inspired by this rubbish brand of football? No joy in this style of play.

Well, I thought it was funny...

BTW, who is the 'No More' troll?
