Saints & Doggies have had ongoing problems with soft tissue leg injuries and while not all can be blamed on Dome surface i believe it has contributed to the problem.

And lets not forget that us members have the ultimate say in our club, unlike the Roos. Am grateful to RB &Casey for what they did and am also grateful for the mighty job Andrew Plympton did to save the club - but we must move forward when the time comes.
GO SAINTERS 2008

Did any of you watch "Catalyst" tonight on the ABC? Looked at "ice" - can even rub it on, easy to take. Think Ben's 2nd half against us was awesome!! However still hope he acknowledges the problem he has & gets the help he needs. For his own sake needs to stand out of footy f...

Roo's passion & comittment make him an ideal leader, but I favour the multi-approach - Roo for what I've just stated, Lenny for the same & Luke Ball for putting his body on the line & showing the same passion & committment at such a young age - St.Kilda's future is safe in their hand...

Thanks for that. Can I change my mind and now go for pick 9?

Stinger youv'e "quoted " me. Never said that!

Have voted but are those listed available for sponsorship? Am happy to sponsor any promising u/21 player otherwise OR Pick no.9

The AFL will ban Ben - after all he did refuse a police blood test. At the very least they should insist on a 6 - 12 month rehab for his sake. No club should touch him prior to this.

Many hapy returns Nick, so good to have a real champ after all that's gone on! Have a HEALTHY[injury free], HAPPY[premiership] 2008, Future.

Gilbert the Grape really summed this whole sorry saga up. However Goody ,yes the soldier was just doing his duty - but why was he there in the 1st place - Not in defence of our country, not our war-conned by the US again into another Vietnam. - But respect the troops who have been sent to both confl...

Geelong fan friend feels Cats did right by SK to let him continue his career, but VERY dark that Charlie has not only been let go but was part of same deal!

Well said Joffa! There will always be the exceptions [BC], but the AFL'S plan is regarded as "best practice" by the professionals & provides guidance & support. If the players caught under the 3 strikes rule continue, the choice is theirs & they have to live with the consequenc...

A fair enough comment, but don't forget our Prime Minister thinks Prat is a god bloke - so AFL will do nothing. Besides aren't disgraced businessmen the norm at Carlscum?

BIG CARL is right - you feel invinceable. Can mean briliant risk taking performances - & can therefore lead to serious injury. Sadly the 2006 Flag & his Brownlow are now tainted.

Spinner some actually thought he was in the US in re-hab - with the season over there is no real reason he couldn't have gone straight over. We all make choices in life & his have obviously been bad ones. His family/club/AFL should have insisted he stay over there in re-hab longer,many of the Pr...

Cousins won the game against us that helped us miss the 8 this year and Dal was runner-up to him in the Brownlow We really have no idea how much the drugs contributed to Cousin's performances. The 2006 Flag & his Brownlow are tainted! What a sad waste.

I was one who wasn't keen on getting King - but King & Gardiner for PICK 90!!!! SAINTSATIONAL!!
Well Done those involved!
GO SAINTERS 2008!

Just sorry I didn't post my reply to CARSCUM HERE ! Now they can't boo Sammy , they'll boo BJ !

Can't waste Roo or BJ there - what we NEED is ACCURATE PASSES to leading forwards, including Roo!! Am sick of hearing Roo " leads to early/is dragged under ball" when ALL we had to do was hit him on chest instead of long/high bombs! Give Watts or Brookes a go BUT PLEASE WORK ON ACCURATE PA...

:roll: Salary cap? Cheating? Let's not forget Swann was at the Filth [only my 43 hit - new to computers & only joined Sept- am learning the lingo!] Bucks ++++ ALL UNDER SAL CAP? Now Blues headhunting Drummond from Lions for huge sal!! AND HOW ARROGANT!!- Posters of Judd ready for Press conferenc...

Think we've got a great leadership group, but with all players knowing this will be the GREAT MAN's last season, think Harve's will be our spiritual leader. GO SAINTERS 2008!!!
