Quite a number of saints fans were seen leaving the ground as early as 1/2 way through the last quarter. Okay, it wasn't much of a game BUT we were winning, it was a milestone game for THREE of our players and it was the end of a BIG week for the club. It was great to see all THREE being chaired of...

I find Sunday twilight to be painful but bareable, Saturday twilights i HATE. Perfect example was this weekend when I had to leave at 3/4 time because I had to get to an engagement party. I know if it was a night game I would have missed it all but I would rather that than having to leave early.

Didn't Richo move up because Jack was coming through and starting to dominate the Richmond forward line?

Who stands up in the forward line for us if Roo moves out to the wing?

Agreed that McEvoy is looking a lot thinner than a few weeks ago

I flew into Auckland and flew down to Wellington (after a couple of days in Auckland). The flights were very cheap and i think it was something like $100 return (Auckland-Wellington). Only problem with that is missing out on the scenery. It also depends on if you want to visit anywhere on the drive ...

It could also be that Scotty sees him as the next Roo and is playing him as a defender to help him learn how to be a better forward. If he can get inside the head of a key backman and anticipate how they will think based on experience of there then it can only be a positive for him and the team Thi...

It certainly was.

I remember that game very well, one of the more enjoyable games to go and watch despite the jumper.

Is the game in crisis? In my eyes yes. Personally, I have become disillusioned with the game this year. I've been a Saints member since 2000 and an AFL member since 2007. Consistently since I got my AFL membership i have been to around 35-40 games throughout the season but this year after a big star...

About to start my journey to Westpac stadium. Very little breeze in Wellington city and its not too cold, not much cloud about at the moment. Must agree with the earlier post about all the saints scarfs and jackets about. We saw a few people in Auckland with saints stuff on but were absolutely blown...

2010 we played sydney at anz in round 1 09 we played sydney at the dome. makes it even worse. How can we get shafted so often at the start of the season? And this year in Round 2 we have a "home" game at the G, not Etihad! Surely playing a home game at the G againts the tiggies will be a ...

I'm making the trip north once again. Looking forward to it.

Is the post match function at the ground a definite?

Yep a road trip has been scheduled in.
Heading up to Wodonga on the Friday to stay with family then continuing on Saturday morning. Probably head back late on Sunday afternoon/evening.

If a player is on the ground with the ball, all the opposition player has to do is keep on his feet and tackle. The player with the ball will then have to dispose of it. Not easy to tackle someone on the ground without being on the ground yourself. Umpires were definitely red hot on anything that l...

Loved Dwayne Russels call when Port Adelaides Need took the first mak. Russel droned that Need clearly outmarked his more experianced opponent. Only problem was his opponenet Webster had never played a game. Also any chance they can call the players name when they get the ball. He confused me then....

In March1996 we drove over for our first ever visit to Waverley to see the MIGHTY SAINTS absolutely demolish Kernahan and his mates in the Ansett Cup. It was awesome. I loved it when we beat the crows here in 40 degree heat in 2008 by 5 points. I will be there with my wife and mother in law, sister...

I'm hanging for some footy and whilst yes it isn't quite the real thing it's better than nothing.

I'm still trying to decide if I am going to go or not.

I want to, but I would be going across as a solo traveler so am a little hesitant. I have put together a little plan that will see me go to Auckland on Sunday 21st and travel down to Wellington on Wed 24th and fly home Friday 26th.

So....

Anyone feel like a cuppa tea and a bikkie?

Adelaide wanted to be involved in the 2013 draft as it is dubbed as another super draft. Therefore by removing themselves from the 2012 draft they are hoping they get to keep the picks in 2013.

Another form of draft tampering.......

1 - Justin Peckett 2 - Aaron Hamill 3 - Nathan Burke 4 - Andrew Thompson 5 - Austin Jones 6 - Heath Black 7 - Nicky Winmar 8 - Max Hudghton 9 - Fraser Gehrig 10 - Spider Everitt 11 - Craig Callaghan 12 - Shane Wakelin 13 - Brett Voss 14 - Sean Charles 15 - Darryl Wakelin 16 - Matthew Capuano 17 - Aa...

Don't you mean

Hamill - knee (2 weeks)???

With ANZAC day being the Thursday, you can almost guarantee that in the week before we will play the Thursday or Friday night and against Essendon or Collingwood (Sydney will play the team we don't).

I'm a social club member, they hold me to ransom over my level 2 reserve seat......plus they void my Grand Final ticket allocation because i'm also an AFL member. but they don't offer me a discount because i receive less, they don't even deliver me a flag I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet b...

It all boils down to him kicking 56 goals this year which is only 5 short of his season record on 61 in 2005 and has kicked 50+ is each of his last 3 seasons.

I was one who did like BT when he was commentating on MMM, however I really like don't his commentary on channel 7.
