Re: Do we have the WORST Board and Management in the AFL?
Stop complaining!
At least we have gender fluid dunnies at our annual gay pride match.

Re: Winmar statue unveiled - and the Western Saints do us proud
I too was there that day and don't recall Nicky raising his jumper, nor do I remember hearing of this gesture in the immediate aftermath of that famous match. I have no doubt now however that the gesture is rightly recognized as a pivotal moment in the game's folklore. A truly historic moment that d...

Re: Who remembers some St Kilda upset wins?
Round 9 1995. We obliberated the eventual premiers (Carlton) at Waverley Park.
A highly unlikely thrashing at the time.

We need flair!
The most exciting players display tremendous flair which is often instinctual. It was therefore great to see Matty Parker taking speccies, evading tackles, tackling ferociously and kicking goals, especially early this season. I have also admired the rise of Sydney Stack, although somewhat remotely. ...

Before and after Max got injured
Was at Sandy yesterday... (Only my opinion) Before Max was injured: Sandy leading comfortably; seemed like a great afternoon was to be had. After Max was injured: Collective apprehension, anxiety and even some panic from players, officials and fans. Sandy was comprehensively outplayed. Supporters on...

Re: Sammy's round 9 review
Sorry if this should be posted elsewhere. Does anyone actually remember why Paul Hudson finished his stint at the Zebras? He seemed to be a good coach who got Sandy into the finals. I seem to remember feeling bewildered and disappointed when some of the Saints listed players were rested at finals ti...

Re: Until Richo gets the sack we are an ordinaly football team
Unforunately, Alan has one of the worst coaching records in history, given his total games coached.
Put aside the disaster in China today. This is about years of substandard development, lack of clear match plan etc..
Please step aside Alan.

It seems that all 13 of the Saints may be pressing their case for selection. That is pleasing.

Bailey Rice - At the crossroads?
I can remember watching Bailey's great uncle Colin, dominating in the Bendigo League in the late 1960's. He had been a premiership player at Geelong and was highly gifted. Most of us on SS know about Dean, Bailey's father. Dean was an extremely solid player with the Saints and eventually played in a...

Re: Cooper - Bruce?
I saw Ian Cooper take a hanger at Moorabbin in early 1969. The "beanpole" was surely one of the best aerialists ever seen in Saints colours. The speccie that Josh Bruce took on Saturday reminded me more of Trevor Barker's marks however. He jumped a mile in the air and propelled himself aga...
