Dear 3rd Gen Saint, This is exactly what I want to hear! Partly because you sound like you know something fairly definitively. And partly because it's the answer I want! Can anyone else confirm this -- no Saturday night prelim final? Fingers crossed -- it'll work for me. Oh, yes... And fingers cross...

Thanks guys, for your thoughts. But I wasn't expecting to win straight through to the prelim -- more likely to lose then win, and play in the non-Geelong prelim. Which according to saintsRrising would mean the non-Friday night prelim. My question is still: is there a chance that the 2nd prelim would...

Prelim times
Trying very VERY hard not to get ahead of ourself here, but does anyone know whether the Saturday preliminary final is played on Sat afternoon or Sat night?
(I have a family engagement that night. Just looking at my options for getting expelled from the clan.)

Sometimes leads are to creat space for others more gifted overhead. Good tacklers have two things - fitness (able to get to contest, 2nd effort) and core strength. He has both. And also they're just to tire opponents out and take them out of the game. Bentick was almost crying just trying to keep u...

The amount of leads he makes which get neglected is staggering. That kid just doesnt stop running. And he's always got like 5-10 metres on his opponent as well. eventually they will pass the ball to him.....annoying at the moment to see him ignored.... His full pelt leading into space back and acro...

I was pretty young at the time but I remember the Pascoe boys Bob and Barry (cousins I think) being fairly willing to give and more than happy to receive. Didn't one of them(Bob?) severely damage his foot with a lawn mower and still turn up to play? It may be an urban myth 'cause I was a gullible y...

My dad went to his first Saints game in a pram -- making it probably 1917. (Sadly he just missed the 1913 GF!) His father followed St Kilda -- he played cricket for St Kilda. I was born in Canberra, and when we finally made another GF in '65, my dad brought me down to Melbourne on the sleeper train ...

I'm in total agreement too -- I just hate this hanging off and away from the opposition ball carrier -- running along parallel with the flow, running after your man and not attacking the ball carrier when you're right next to him. It's the most passive, pathetic approach to football ever invented. S...

There was one moment where Dempster let a Dog run right into the 50 arc whithout bothering with any sort of chase. I thought what an insult this lack of any effort or passion is to a man who has given his all for 360+ games.[/quote] Dempster needs a post of his own -- his game today, and over the la...
