Agree with this - like Steele as a player, but he has always struck me as a reluctant captain. They asked for a volunteer and everyone else took one step backwards......

I'm interested to know if any of the wailing bed-wetting "I hate Ross" types can share with us how many centre clearances RTB got in the final quarter? I'll give you a hint, it was the same as our two most senior mid-fielders!! I hate that we lost that as much as anyone, and I think we sh...

2021 and 2022 were a fail. We bit the bullet and at the end of both seasons we decided to use all our picks on young kids at the National Draft That was the perfect opportunity to say to members at the end of last year... after Jordan De Goey signed with Collingwood... that we WILL Go Into Full Reb...

Onya Saynta! Call out the big-noters that can't spell! :D Ray is big on speling Ray who? My apology, I was referring to Saynta by his given name. Wrong, but par for the course. Come on Ray, some bloke named Saint Ray over on BigFooty keeps chipping me about my spelling and always finishes his posts...

Port and Collingwood must be quacking in their boots about StKilda making the funals. I don't know what funals are (funnels maybe?), but why would they be quacking - are they ducks? :shock: Do ducks even wear boots?? So many questions...... My good friend, there is famous footyball player they call...

I did not read this thread again after I threw my hat into the ring, so was somewhat confused to get a message saying I had won the event! Since having received that message I have obviously returned to this thread to understand how I won. My only question - should I wear black if it is not official...

Count me in and put me down for a 15 point win to us......

He'd do amazing things!

I've heard he'd do amazing things to our system......

Congrats on the new sponsor !!!

Welcome back, those that think outside the (coaches) box are always a welcome addition!!

The decision in the 'van Rooy' incident sets a whole new precedent about a player's responsibility when trying to punch the ball clear in a contest. There is no doubt that the ongoing revelations about players suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), as a result of one or more concuss...

Still haven't seen anything that makes me think Sharman will be on the list in 2024 but will be happy to be proven wrong. Reference points and sample sizes are important. Reference points and sample sizes may well be important, but apparently we are short on those. Never mind, maybe we can trade so...

You playing Little League??

I think the elephant in the room is how on earth did we not even receive a free kick for something that was deemed worthy of a suspension!! Howard protested as much at the time, and was clearly peeved and asked the umpire (who was a mere couple of metres away) how it was not a dangerous tackle and f...

He’s a better second ruckman to the other guy!!! Look, Mitchito looks very promising- like a young Nat Fyfe But is raw and needs polishing We also thought Windhager was a future gun, he’s also got some work to do imo Don't know if the broken hand or playing permanent sub has impacted him, but Windy...

It's scary how effective a 19-year old kid of that size is able to be as a second ruck! Then justs morphs straight into a big-bodied mid after the ball-up!!

Obviously a lot of noise happening with our new boys playing at the moment. Isaac obviously hasn’t been front and centre due to the fact we haven’t seen him this year. The kid has the potential to be as good or not better than Pou, Owens etc. we will see him very soon, perhaps in a fortnight. The c...

I am stumped that Dmac is a restricted FA. How is he in the top 25% paid players in the club. Being a restricted FA has nothing to do with the size of your contract, it is a result of how long you have been at a club (8 years??). How much compensation the club would get if we lose a restricted FA i...

I remember well sitting in my old seat (between aisles 18-19 level one) for a game between the Saints and Essenbum. This was during the period following the Peptides scandal when they were prevented from playing most of their 1st choice squad. Jimmy Gwilt was playing for the bummers (after having b...

The word, Aeon, is that we should get back "Man of" next week, so as long as we don't lose anyone else this week, then the bottom of the barrel will avoid having to be scraped!! Keep fingers and toes crossed until next Monday morning and things could start to turn in favour of the Saints.....
