who knows
I don't know if GT is in the right or the club is in the wrong. As has been noted the court will decide. However, I think that Rod Butterrs may have made a mistake by lending GT a substantial amount of money. It blurs the distinctions between employee, employer and chairman of the board. All in all ...

Winning games
Any sporting success is a difficult mix to try to measure. It takes alot of skills, talent, planning, luck and a bloody lot of determination to make a success in any sports arena. Combine these into a team element and the combination of elements is also multiplied. All of our players have somehow go...

Milne
There is an old saying that you are only as good as your last performance. Steven Milnes last performance was a beauty, bagging seven goals and winning us the game. Credit should be given where it is due and Milne won us that last game against Richmond. Get off his case.

Simmonds
Yes, Simmonds was real good at lifting the knee into Kosi all night. Did anyone else notice this? Simmonds will come unstuck big time for this tactic. It works for a while until someone bigger and meaner than you will smash you to bits for what ruckmen consider a low tactic. Who is big enough and me...

The gutsiest Saint ever
Ask some old blokes who have seen several decade of players. My father who is 85 has stated Eric Guy was the toughest saint of all. Hard as nails, straight at the ball and feared nobody. Leigh Matthews was supposed to be one of the toughest in our time and Dad says Lethal Leigh was a cream puff comp...

favourtism
Yes, the AFL certainly favour certain clubs. They are not just the interstate clubs. Why should Collingwood and Essendon hold the ANZAC day monopoly? They make a motza out of it. On the old fan forum I raised this issue and Rod Buterrs was keen to take on the AFL in this regard. I wonder if any of t...

I thought Lyon was a good pick, but after last night I am not so sure. We cannot play like Sydney. They get away with it because of the small home ground SCG and have perfected it on this ground. Last night was one of the first few times I have turned off the telly in disgust. What is wrong with qui...

Best sledge
An e-mail went around with some of the best sledges. I loved this one.
At Adelaide oval....
Javed Miandad called Merv Hughes a dumb fat bus conducter. About two deliveries later, Merv knocked down Javed's middle stump.
When Javed walked past Merv he copped this one...
"Tickets please!"

Baker
Someone in the Port Adelaide side will be worried about Steven Bakers reuturn. This guy has been missed. Players play taller when he is on the field. A serious tough nut. Could use a few more like him.

Matthew Lloyds shot on Max
Did you see Lloyd gice Max a backhander at the end of the forst quarter (i think that was when it was). I was worried because Max had a go back and thought he would get reported for touching the biggest protected species in the AFL. Can someone please explain how he gets away with the number of chea...

coaching stuff
Unfotunately we had a coach that was being groomed for the role. He never lived to make it.
Who am I talking about - Trevor Barker.
What a terrible shame. He would have made a great coach.

A win by 20+
Lets face it, we need a win no matter what. I don't know how others feel but I hate Essendon more than Collingwood. Over rated, protected species, too much power in the AFL and I am old enough never to forget or forgive them derailing our premiership run in '77 by the publicity their president beat ...

How old are we all?
I was just wondering how old the users fo this site are. I am 44 and grew up watching the Saints in the 70's and 80's. I remember the likes of Geoff Cunningham, Greg Burns, Gary Sidebottom, George Young and Trevor Barker. Standing in the cold at the Gilbeys Gin end of the ground. Good times. The hot...

Lacking physical upper body strength..
is what I observe. We get to the opposition player, lay the tackle and more often than not they get the ball away and then they are off. We need some good old fashioned hard heads at present. Sure, our list has loads of talent but we are getting towelled up in the hardness department. I am old enoug...
