Don't desert the ship now. Your team needs you. Let them know you still care, that you still bleed. Let them know that you are still, and will always be, a Sainter. Don't let the scum outnumber us at our home ground. FORTIUS QUO FIDELIUS Definitely will be there and hope it is a 'home crowd' advant...

I was surprised that he wasn't in his Saints polo. Was quite strange to see him in 'civies'!

Agree! Annoyed at myself for not getting 'over it'. It is only football and yet I am STILL hurting!!

Zac certainly has a very tough act to follow - Max never gave much away even on a bad day. Zac has had a few good games but for me the frustrating part is the number of times he watches the player and has no idea where the ball is. Not sure if experience will eradicate these types of errors from his...

its a terrible to thing to have a Premiership hangover without the Premiership +1 That's it in a nutshell! Sad but true and makes the GF losses harder to live with! I remember the Hawks supporters saying, it's ok we can live with this bc of the Premiership we won last year. We don't have that memor...

We placed a bet fairly early when the offer came out and got our voucher this week in the mail!

That would be a pity bc I thought Farren played a great game last week and took some important marks when we really needed them!

Loved the Sydney one - wouldn't we love to have Plugger in at full forward at the moment!!! How good was he!!!!

I was worried that we might be the first team to be beaten by the Suns - thank goodness Port now has that claim to fame!

Ignoring the commentary what I found frustrating was the camera work. At times they were showing players or coaches off the ball for far too long instead of returning to the action. Then when they were covering the action they often had a tight close-up which didn't allow you to see the bigger pict...

Mentally tough call for the team to come up again after 3 GF losses in 2 years. Remember Geelong lost many Grand Finals and then came back to win some and remain a force. Don't write the Saints off yet!

Having withdrawal symptoms already. Booked an interstate trip a year ago and flight leaves Sunday. So unlucky! So annoyed!
Hopefully I can view the game somewhere in Cairns - although won't be the same!

Adelaide weren't dominating in '97. Came good towards the end of the season and ended up fourth at the end of the Home and Away season. We all know what happened in the finals. A slow start is not always a bad thing. Let's hope by round 6 we have picked up that hunger and dominance we know the boys ...

There is no justice in footy! the last person in the game this should happen absolutely gutted so pissed seriously when will we ever get some luck for a change? Lenny has been my favourite player from the first game he played and it just brings me to tears this is depressing Ditto all of that - jus...

OMG I really hope you're right! Poor Lenny!

Early days yet. Only round 1. Have to keep in mind that in 2009 we peaked too early! Think last night was difficult (for me anyway), because it opened old wounds. Back at the G, close game against the cats that we should have one. Felt like I was reliving that final game in '09. Felt way worse than ...

I am not a fan of Zac's and after that first mark that was taken on him last night - I did think, 'oh no, here we go again!' But I also thought he played well last night and repelled many attacks. Glad he could prove me wrong! So over everyone bagging Raph. People just can't wait for him to make a m...

No cards yet!
Early season package for the 5 in our family came in dribs and drabs over 3 weeks and one didn't come at all. Must have got lost in the mail. Finally have it now after contacting the club.

Some great footage of the Doc....

they seem to only have one passage of play and the G/F cup presentation as game vision simple but good I don't know what I expected, but I didn't really feel it did him justice. my girl just said the same thing he only gets half an hr?? better than nothing i guess i still enjoyed it 8-) I am not su...

Very sad stuff watching the Doc but also that friggin GF. Ian Synman was the only one with brains in 1966. Being a good jewish boy he probably knew the value of the jumper. I was very young at the time, but recall being told that Synman's opposition player refused to change tops with him. (I think ...

There are no winners amongst us. Yes it's nice being in GFs but losing them makes us no more successful than the wooden spooner. The premiership cup is the only prize in AFL. Nothing for second. Oh yes it is frustrating and really gets under my skin when you have people saying - "oh the Pies h...

I'll cry 100 more times if we win than if we lose.

That was the point where I started to let myself believe and dream that we might just win it!!!

Like most people on this forum, I was devastated by another GF loss. However, my daughter's Facebook post eased the pain a lot. The day after the GF she said... "Regardless of yesterday's outcome, I'm still grateful we even made it to the Grand Final and I'm lucky to have such an amazing family...

smiling and laughing with buckley on tv after we were beaten. Never come back Max. at least Ball showed some respect and history with the club to have a solemn face and shake our guys hands. not for max. doesn't have the quality as a person to separate his job with collingwood and satisfaction of a...
