For god's sake give him a game for at least 3 weeks-oh hang on we've only got three weeks to go, so the time needed to develop Armo by giving him a solid run in the seniors has been lost for this year. Whether or not he doesn't get on with the coach he will be a future captain or vice-captain. Could...

It was Mike Brady for came up with the alternative song, and it was a failure as no-one knew the words and would clap their hands until the chorus and then all start singing "On when the Saints"

Sorry it wasn't readable but the umpiring gets worse each week and I get more worked up about it. It's at the point where games are lost and seasons are lost because the umpiring, for not only us, but from the complaints of supporters of other teams. And I get really angry whereby, the catch word fo...

If they build a "boutique stadium" which is another phrase built for pissy crowds but great for the supporters who are able to get in before the "sold out" sign goes up, it will be part of the big black hole that the AFL seems to be creating for themselves with the creation of te...

I would think for an average game there would probably be no more than 5-6 kicks difference between any two clubs in the free kick tally at a game. For the 29-10 which is nothing more than a disgrace it meant: the Saints got an average of 2.5 kicks per quarter, that is no more than 3 in one quarter ...

I was beginning to wonder if the Saints were even on the ground, with the commentary being so biased.

Never in a game should there be a difference between two teams of nearly twenty free kicks. That is the equivalent of another player for one side who would be considered B..O.G. if they had 20 kicks in one game. At one stage, whilst I could bear to watch the telecast, even the oh so biased commentat...

Hi SaintBev, more than anyhting else, the cheering and the clapping got louder in the second half purely to stick back at the Hawthorn supporters standing behind us on Aisle 38.
