We hear this mantra being chanted at clubs everywhere when it goes pear-shaped: "Play the kids! Play the kids" which is all well and good if the "kids" are good enough..there's absolutely NO guarantee that a kid is going to be the answer to our dreams if the kid is not good enoug...

For a chance to see an endorsement of Cordz's view look no further than sunday's Footy Record (p12) "creating a winning system at a club cannot be achieved overnight" This article by Peter Ryan gives me hope that we are on the right track. Alongside the article was a list of the support st...

Great post!!!! (but do you have to SHOUT????!!!!!!!! :wink: :lol: ) I'm of the opinion that when we are up against it, as we are now, what is needed is strong nerves and cool heads. I think that the previous administration had wonderful plans but sadly allowed egos to scupper the spirit we had built...

:D "The optimist is wrong as often as the pessimist. But he has a lot more fun!" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm ready to be convinced again that we are finals bound!!!!!!!! :lol: Defeats are awful, but can be overcome. Dwelling on defeats and refusing to see hope is far more harmful, fo...

"I am an optimist, unrepentant and militant.
After all, in order not to be a fool an opitimist must know how sad a place the world can be. It is only the pessimist who finds this out anew every day".

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Ditto from me re: Bakes. I would LOVe to see "Big Ben" get his shot at the big time. Like the move re: Nick Riewoldt as well, I think its time to try a few moves from leftfield, without going too far! I'm hopeful. I'm optimistic, I'm ready to back the team against those swannies!!!!!! &quo...

After four years living in Auckland, my family and I came to Melbourne in 1990. It was like starting all over again, a new country, new job, new schools for the girls, you'll get the picture I'm sure. When I started my first day at work, (with all the pressure that brings) a wee man named Les Griffi...

I love you TOO (?!?!)
Thanks for the "advice" too!!!!!!!
(Check-out the signature if you think I'll take it!!!!)

Considering the position we're in ATM it could be a move that could change the whole season. "Desperate situations require desperate measures"?? It may be a useful move to make during a game? At least its trying SOMETHING...the guy is costing us big time with his kicking for goal at present.

Everton, I wear me colours whatever the result. I enjoy the wins and I take me medicine when we lose. I am upset for days after a bad loss (ask me wife!!) I saw a dude last week when we played Melbourne, strutting around in a (brand new?!) Bulldogs bomber jacket, scarf, and baseball cap. Yesterday I...

:x Lets get ONE thing straight :twisted: "JOLLY" I am not!!! after a game like that!!! I bleed as much as the next person when we lose the way we did yesterday. "Rose coloured glasses" :?: I don't believe that by rolling up me sleeves, picking meslf up from the deck and having an...

OOOOOOOPS! forgot about that game!!! (tacticl amnesia? )
I meant the next HOME game of course!!!
I'm beginning to wonder if my trip up to Carrara will be worth it???

Sorry for the error folks!!!!!

I got to meet "Sainter -dad" and his lovely family in person! I was made most welcome (as always!) by my pals up on the Moorabbin Wing when I paid my half-time visit :D I thought too that Clinton Jones showed some good form and is worth persevering with for the reat of the year to get some...

We had King and Harvey missing. We were on the wrong end of poor umpiring. Our forwards missed vital set shots at crucial times. These were things that Ross Lyon had no control over. Time to just take a deep breath and regroup and prepare to get behind the team V Freo. There is no other course of ac...

:D No "danger game" for us Folks!!!! Its there t'be won!!!!!!! :D Hunters again!!!!!! Terriers ready to get in were it hurts and give them Bulldogs a bit of "bite" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: SAINT KILDA! CLAP -CLAP-CLAP!!!!!!!!!!!! (YOU KNOW THE REST!!!...

GO the terrier!!!!! (AND those Saints of course!!!!)
READY????? OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got a good "mad" worked up fer t'day!!!!!!!!!!

Eastern Eastern Eastern I'm shocked that you'd doubt my sincerity unless its tested by shouting the man with the shortest arms and the deepest pockets at Telstra dome a beer!!!!
Dont worry about my terriers mate, like me they dont bite sainters!!!

Hey Eastern!! On the issue of being like-minded with a certain channel 10 "expert comments man" :? I'm with anyone who backs the Saints! :D BTW Walls isn't the only one who bags us. Take a look at SOME of the posts that go up here regarding our team......with SOME of our "fans" w...

Gday Folks!!!! :D What a difference eight weeks can make in footy!!! There we were in round three: unbackable favourites against the Doggies, and at quarter time we could see why :D Its been a bumpy ride since then!!!! :x here we are at round eleven and the only tipsters to pick us are Sam Lane, Rob...

I reckon he handled himself well. Made a good point about Andrew Thompson taking himself off calling the saints games and I thought he did a good job in conceding nothing to the media when it came to the issue of "culture" at the club. I was pleasntly surprised, and I'm not his biggest fan...

:? "but!" WHAT??????!!!!!! That was a good 4-quarter team performance against a side that ran the Hawks close in their last game, and who came from 51 points behind to win their only game for the year. There were plenty of things that COULD have gone wrong yesterday. The team rose to the c...

Then my good turn for the day is happily done!!
If my silliness has made you feel better, then you're more than welcome
Dear!
GO SAINTS!!!!!

When I was a wee lad ...."in a galaxy far, far away.... :lol: " My dear old dad used to sing this song at crimbo and other times. I'd like to sing it now for the St Kilda Football Club and all my pals who follow our club. Aaaaaa-HEM (clears throat! :lol: ) I'll be loving you; always. With ...
