Earliest Saints memories...

Driving down Linton Street late last year and seeing the old grandstand, turnstiles, social club etc really took me back to my earliest memories of VFL / AFL football. Having since driven past to see the progress of the demolition and getting that overwhelming deep seated sadness of something that w...

His poise is spot on

I'm disappointed it was gesture to his brother and one of solidarity (however unintended) to crims in general who've been incarcerated or under cuffs. I'm unfazed either way cos he plays for us, but I'm wondering what others who excuse it would make of it if it was a player from any other team. I wa...

Brave post Joffa. My worry leading into the game last night was the absence of Harves who IMO was always the main reason we beat the Crows at AAMI through his extra effort and lift. The fact that we did it without the great man is a really significant development. I think that doing it also without ...

Is it true they dont serve alcohol at the ground?

You have to leave the stadium to buy a drink so at each break there's a "swill" going on?

There's frustration and the resigned sighs at repeated mistakes, and the head in hands 'jesus jimmy, or goose, or raph, or whoever..", the end of the tether exclamation stuff that, as supporters, drives us mad. This is far different from going the tonk, bagging out a player vocally in a way tha...

Have to agree too One thing I noticed is that Saturday's game, having all the attributes of the 2008 wobbly starts, come backs etc, was that we came back quicker and harder than what we had previously done, so the improvement on last year is evident and should continue. No magic clicks just yet, giv...

I bought these off eBay about 12 months ago for $25 and only just found them again this morning in my desk drawer. I have no idea when they were made, but the tieclip and one of the pins have the same logo - the other pin logo is a little different. Just wondering if anyone would know when they thou...
