Con, I grew up in Melbourne. I was offered a job here in Perth in 88. I thought I'll come over here for two years. I'm still happily living in Perth. It's now well and truly my home. The pros The weather The beaches The people tend to be happier and friendlier because of the weather. The lifestyle i...

I think Ray will be fine - he was clearly intending the ball.

Thanks Finna,

that's good news

Pakenham Saint are you watching the game?

Could Fay Ray be in trouble?

Well Pakky.

it looks like just you and me on line at the moment.

Sounds fairly good from our boys at the moment.

I'm listening to the radio.

The Bombers really want to win. The players want to impress their coach. The players and team really want to show their fans that they are going to be great this year. The Saints are playing a prictice match. They wouldn't mind winning but nit at all costs. It's the only difference. I'm ready for th...

Thanks for that bratty, West Of Moorabbin looks like an excellent resource. The info is laid out quite bizarrely but I'll be able to knock it into shape. Thanks to all for chiming in, and don't be shy about contributing to the Wiki whether it be new information or corrections. Or PM me to add them ...

Emma Quayle spends an enormous amount of time watching the under 18s (and we don't) She's actually a pretty good judge, based on previous years'assessments I've seen from her.. Her phantom draft was more accurate than hsun and afl imo. So she can't be too bad. I would have preferred Harper or Darli...

I don't think he's a brother to Jason but there are a million Cripps in the Northampton region, some of them are related to the Lockyers (as in Tarkyn) through marriage as well. Great bloodlines. I've seen Jamie play a few times this year. It's always hard to tell how a player will actually go from ...

Good luck. For the record I am looking for a 1996 Centenary round Saints jumper, but I think my chances are super-super-duper-slim. Yep, I'm the same. Having no luck! I'm after the same. It's obviously a bit of a collector's holy grail. I'm also after the early 81/82 jumper with the "groovy&qu...

impossible to know the fixture has not yet been released. Due to be released on or about 23 October (Saturday week) !! My Chrystal Ball says: Mick M will complain about the tough draw, pointing out that Collingwood has to travel twice to Etihad Stadium. The Saints will travel interstate 7 times.

The Saints are in my hear and blood. I can never give up on them.

But this hurts,

REALLY HURTS.

Ross and the boys did amazingly well to cover Rooeys absence but second is not good enough for the Saints any more.

WE need a PREMIERSHIP.

WE NEED A PREMIERSHIP.

WE NEED A PREMIERSHIP.

Merlin I'm with you but I'm sick of all these "character building" losses.

Time for a premiership, nothing else will do.

The club and players owe us as much as we owe the club.

I know a premiership should not fall in your lap.

Why don't the footy gods look after Saints and their suporters?

The ball would not bounce for us, the scores would be posters or rift to behinds, and most of all Rooey would have kicked that goal.

I'll try to get there on Saturday night.

It'll be great to meet a few more of the very devoted WA Saints fans.

Don't forget that Robert Eddy was injured when an umpire run through him during a NAB Cup game. He was in the side at the end of the previous season, was winning a lot of the time trials during the pre-season. It took him a long time to get back to fitness. Here's one of the articles on it at the ti...

Coming back from Perth again.

Hopefully our ducks are lined up in a nice little row this year.

Go Sainters.

Great get Gussy, sums up in parts how we are all feeling. I've loved this club since I was 5. My family are all Collinwood supporters but Dad took me to a game at the MCG in 65 against Richmond. Cowboy was larger than life, he was a monster of a man. I had a Saints jumper with 18 on the back from th...

I'll throw in Swan Districts won this years WAFL flag. Claremont were by far the best team all year. It comes down to who most wants it on the day. Personally, I have coached five seasons of junior footy for 5 premierships. I don't think we've ever been the best side, but we do have the greatest des...

Just got my ticket.

Off to the AFL Members' Grand Final Lunch.

Flights to Melbourne are very expensive for the weekend for some reason.

I'm a little bit excited.

We need a new Barry Breen.

And some new commentary to get over the Mike Williamson's (sorry if my memory isn't quite right) when talking about the tightness of the game, "I've already had a dozen heart attacks."

The whole penalty/system in regards to Bakers suspension just sickens me! Half the carry over points he'd accumulated were from tummy taps and trips for gods sake! P1ss-weak!! I agree with you Lukey. The main part of the frustration is associated with the subjective "sufficient force". Ea...

Dare I say it... One hand on the Cup now.... Absolutely critical win. Agree it's the best way for us in this final series.........but I think we only have a little pinky on the cup. Best news of the night, most likely that Collingwood and Geelong will have to slug it out in a Prelim final. TWO BIG ...

Well done Sainters.

That's a win for the finals.

The rest will do us good.

Bring on the prelim final.................


Go you Sainters
