Thanks for taking the time to read it guys.. I'll always be a passionate sainter but it will definitely be very weird next year..
Mightysainters that was the best chant!

Seedsman was a die-hard Pies supporter growing up and is living his dream. I doubt very much he would leave Collingwood.

Warning: Long Post!! (worth the read though :wink: ) Given how much Milney has clearly meant to us all, I thought I would post my tribute to Milne that I wrote at the end of last year. Milney was my hero and his retirement is quite simply the end of an era, football just won't be the same without th...

Milney, My hero since what feels like forever! From regular trips to training with mum, to wearing the 44 with pride at the footy. You were the heart and soul of this club and made my day on so many occasions. I will be forever grateful and cherish my endless memories forever. I couldn't have been m...

Where to start!? The guy has been my hero for 10+ years.. he's given me so much joy both on and off the field with memories I will cherish forever. Here are a couple off the top of my head.. 1. The Semi Final in 2004 against the Swans.. Milne had been dropped the week before, not playing in our thra...

Top effort Eastern! It was great to be a part of - fantastic idea!

Good initiative by the club this week to get fans to the game - my partner is a first year member and was offered an upgrade to a seat on level 1 if he went to the game. I get the seat too, so pretty happy! We were going anyway, but nice from the club!

We'll shut down the power
And attack from all angles
'Cause we are the Saints
But we're no angels

It's not going to be easy. But I have backed Milne for 9 years and while others can't bring themselves to go to the game, I simply can't bring myself NOt to go. Milne is a strong guy, but if I'm going to back him, he needs that support 100%. And that to me is not to shy away from supporting him in m...

Thanks eastern!! Gunna be a big one...hopefully we can silence the crowd a little with a win! Not looking forward to the atmosphere but figure if I go there's one more fan cheering for the red white and black and one less blues feral:)

Sorry if this has already been discussed but where are you all sitting on Saturday night? I'll be going and don't want to sit with blues supporters at the best of times.. really doing my best to avoid them this week if possible! I'm guessing the moorabbin wing will be up on level 3..would love to si...

What a great article! I actually wrote my own tribute to the champ too, and was going to create a new post for it, but might as well just add it to this one. Feel free to have a read - similar to the one above. http://alanamichelle90.wordpress.com/20 ... 250-games/

As you can imagine I'm pretty distraught about the whole thing. Whatever the case, as a Saints player, he has been a star for our club and I think both he and his supporters deserve some form of 'goodbye'. As it stands, it's probably in the best interests of everyone that he stands down. I certainly...

Eastern, i love it! I'm sure you could get the club on board, could even get your hands on the posters they hand out before games and distribute to everyone perticipating. I don't know about everyone else, but i go to Saints away games and you can really tell you're not at home - whereas i never fee...

It's not about 'winning and losing'. We are clearly re-building, i can accept that and i can accept we are going to see a lot more losses than wins over the next few years. And as much as i hate losing, while we are re-building i can also learn to accept 'honourable losses'. But what i won't accept ...

He said he'd been a bit out of touch this year so was wearing the sleeves to try and get his confidence back up.. bit of a psychological tactic

I have heard players refer to crowds actually. If you listen to a couple of past AFL ads a couple of players mention playing in front of big crowds at the MCG - if crowds weren't important to players why do so many essendon and pies players love the chance to play in front of so many people on ANZAC...

I have thought our supporters in general have been pathetic for a while now. I look around though and in all honesty, I don't see too many Saints fans between 18-30. This is the group that the noise generates from. Take a look at Richmond's Cheer squad, not to mention the Tigers group who stand behi...

Ideally I’d like to play Stanley as a forward but pushing up the ground instead of Roo and Maister. The only problem with this is Stanley’s injury concerns and making him run up the wings may just push him a little too much. Maister can at least take a contested mark which we really missed last week...

Honestly if it was up to me i'd have something you can use in an ad that isn't lame. I'd use Lenny's bone crunching tackling, Roo's attack in marking contests, Milne/ Saad / Milera excitement and find anything on the young kids you can use including Armo -tackling, Simpkin - spoiling and beating wor...

is that $200 in total? Or $200 each?

I'd like to know what you would do if you had someone come directly at you and attempt to throw a punch. I don't exactly know how you avoid an arm wrestle in that situation, are you just supposed to stand there and take it? We all would have loved Milne to kick 6 goals but I don't think he did anyth...
