I know for a fact that he followed the Saints as a kid. His dad's a great Saints supporter.

At work an Essendon supporter who is usually a good bloke said to me "Hear about Baker? absolute thug...got what he deserved." I wish I'd had the presence of mind to ask him about Dean Wallis needlessly knocking out Mil Hannah in the '93 GF. Or poster-boy Michael Long maliciously punching ...

The umpiring was a joke. Not only did Richmond get more frees , they got so many in the forward half. Most of ours were in the back hf. Disgraceful. Demetriou has to get this hack team a few wins to get its supporters through the gates.

Another point. Lyon got Lovett because couldn't get one bloody goal in the last quarter in '09! It was an inspired gamble which didn't work because Lovett never played a game for us. Why not? Because he'd been out on the piss and God knows what else with Gramm. The girl he ended up was probably so o...

You knew what I meant .
That post embodied what's wrong with this forum.... Pathetic point-scoring against your fellow supporters.

A short description of that decision .

a) corrupt
b) bulls***!

Ok that's enough. History is written by the victors. Remember when we beat Geelong in the Night GF then thrashed them in the opening round of '04? They looked slow, they looked like losers. They also were lucky with timing. 2007 was our 'down' year. If the Saints team of '04, '05, '09 or even '08 ha...

What the f*** was with that 100 m penalty in the 3rd quarter? I knew if it was close the AFL would give them everything possible. Ok now I'll say it. Ablett is f****** little mercenary who's sold his soul for 30 pieces of silver. He is a C$NT!!! ...and should he come to play for the saints he would...

Did someone block the answer I gave to Plugger? Yeah you love this because you don't bleed when we lose. Your main motivation is scoring points by being a smart-a$se. You actually prefer it when we lose.

Better drugs???

As I said, haven't really looked at the Big Footy forum, but a couple of posters said it was bettter moderated than SS.



Many of the discussions on here degenerate into insults traded between the 'same old same old' posters so maybe there are good things about the Saints forum on BF.

Yes, awesome post, WW. I have maybe posted similar, or uttered similar sentiments. The GT-haters on the forum should give him a bit of credit..he sis things which were copied by other clubs, such as rotating players (radical back then) and also rotating the captaincy. RL, love him or hate him, devel...

One illustration of 'How cud yuz let 'IM go?' is Zac Dawson. Called soft and over-rated by many opposition supporters, he was then called a vital recruit for Fremantle.

Haven't read all the replies but I see this has turned into another 'punch on' between supporters. Good luck to Ball.... But seeing him in a Saints guernsey is a distant memory. His fate is of secondary importance to me.

Thanks for the heartening replies. I'm very optimistic about this season, despite what some of the so-called 'experts' think. Bergholt, do you really think Richmond will win another flag before we do?

I will be watching 'Rupert''s progress with interest!

My brother was recently looking at Big Footy and was amazed by some of the stuff on there. This is what I wrote to him. 'The Big Footy forum mainly consists of Essendon, Collingwood, Carlton and Richmond supporters. All of these once-great VFL clubs' supporters are delusional. They think "Now w...

Sign Benny now!

We had 11 wins and one draw in 1978 and missed the finals (final 5 back then) by half a game.
Guess who finished 5th: Geelong.
There's a happy ending, though. They got flogged in the Elimination Final by Jezza's Blues!

This makes you a bit different to most of the people on this forum...

Roos is a flog.

As for games lost, it is a FACT that umpiring cost us the Port Adelaide and the Adelaide game at least.

Add two wins and we're comfortably in the 8!

PS add the draw we should have got when the AFL later admitted the Harry O'Brien 'free' was a mistake!

Great goal...especially good 'cause he kicked it on Scarlett.
