. Gamble starting to get there. Wasn't great last night and I still think he needs a couple more weeks to really slot into the game plan. I thought gamble was very good last night. Although he didnt trouble the scorers his 2nd and 3rd efforts were teriffic and he took some solid grabs. Also records...

Loving Lunch with Lenny! Look forward to it each week!

Always have been members - always will be members. Simple as that. Love the Saints, love footy. Grandparents, parents and now my kids (now adults) have always been members! Even my husband who is a Pies supporter (but not a not member) has a Saints membership and goes to all our games! :lol: :lol: :...

Anyone else remember the old 3GL commentary - now that was biased! All the Cats players were called and cheered along by nicknames. If you were lucky enough, they would mention a Saints player or maybe even his name if he was well known and did something amazing.

Great to see Raph have a good game tonight! He is always terrific with effort and the 1 percenters but offensively he is a real confidence player. When his confidence is high his skills are great! Let's hope this game spurs him on! Certainly need him firing with Jimmy G out!

I can't find it for the life of me, but there was an article somewhere that had a picture from the changerooms post-match of Peake or maybe Dempster. And sitting on the floor to the right was Riewoldt with an ice pack on his left knee. Saw that too and noted the ice on his knee. Think it was on the...

I wonder whatever happened to the guys who used to stand behind us around Bay 36 at Etihad and sing, "Stevie Milne walks on water, tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!." Amongst other great ditties - loved to listen to them.

People can be very quick to 'bag' players when things go wrong, but Milney has been one of our more consistent players this year. He has so often been one of our few good players! He has improved his defensive game so much. Always exciting when he gets his hands on the ball.

There was also a Cats' supporter being handcuffed at the back of a police van near gate 4 after the game. Must have been a night for a bit of trouble!

Thought that was a punch / jab to the back near his kidneys?? Hope there is footage of it bc there was a bit of force there!

Johnson started it, then Ottens came in and looked like he used an elbow into the back of one of our guy's head! (Can't recall who now!)
Anyone else see Hunts hit on Schneider?

To the supporters who walked out on mass at the 15 minute mark of the last quarter you are a disgrace. Was about 50% of our bay who left, bay 15/16. I am also sick of going to the footy every week and hearing people who are wearing our colors and constantly complain and bag St Kilda. Our effort is ...

He is so passionate, seems to be really embracing the young players and being the glue of this team.

Is he the most under rated saint?

Ditto
We too were all saying that after the game!

For me while a guy is in red black and white they are our players. We have to back them in. Saying someone should be looked at for trade is fine, it is the people that say Raph Clarke, Kosi, Eddy etc. are liabilities and should never play again because they are crap etc. that i have a problem with....

I think Roo's value was underrated yesterday - many times he chased an opponent, either caught them or got a hand to their jumper - just enough to cause a wayward kick and a turnover. That forward pressure that was so important to us in the last couple of years. Not flashy, doesn't get any votes but...

Didn't goose get compartment syndrome and spent 3 years off the field? Not to mention surgery after surgery. He broke his leg. That led to complications, mainly from infections. I can't recall if CS followed, but leg trauma is a cause. Yes Goose did have compartment syndrome but mainly as a result ...

The umpiring is inconsistent because some of the rules are poor and the interpretations therefore very subjective. For example, often the holding the ball rule does not give the player making a fair dinkum effort to go in and get the ball, a fair go. It is often interpreted differently not just week...

Jones may get looked at, didn't someone get looked at for knocking Barry over when he was doing up his shoe? Someone had a go at Sam Gilbert too later in the game. He was either injured or more likely suffering from cramp and when he was stretching, someone came up and bumped him. Not much in it bu...

Just watched it. Very unlucky if he goes. Batram got Blake and then he got him back. No force. Gets off. Hope you're right but when it comes to the MRP, luck doesn't often fall our way. Hard to know what the findings will be, some of their decisions seem quite inconsistent from one week to the next...

Idiot that started it all, Nathan Jones, should have to answer for his actions too!

I was on the other side of the ground. Does anyone know what sparked it this time? It seems to be becoming a regular event. They showed it on Before the Game. Nathan Jones went over and gave Milne a hefty elbow as Milne was bending over doing his shoelaces or something similar. Milney must have see...

Great game by Armo! He has been unlucky with injuries in the past too! Good luck to him! Hope he can keep playing well!

There were so many clangers tonight by so many players, why highlight just the one?!

Thought Armo and Dempster really worked hard tonight! Certainly a step in the right direction for us!! Pity we couldn't get over the line.
