Great idea - extremely low cost with the (albeit low) possibility of high rewards if we can convince someone like Rice's son to play for us instead of Carlton and he's any good. It really would be fantastic if we got a really good father son player running around with us in a few years. Anyone know ...

You don't think we'll finish above Melbourne...?

No chance - the Dockers have a tonne of cap room which is why they're mentioned in connexion with Buddy/Cloke etc. They're not about to lose someone like Fyfe. Unless we're after a FA, our best hope is to throw huge amounts of money at a young gun from a club with salary cap pressure, to make sure t...

If NZ get a team before Tassie......that would suck. I fear the writing is on the wall in regards to NZ and our club. ...why? We might be playing games there, but I still think we're less likely to move than quite a few other clubs. We still have more members than WB, Kangaroos and Melbourne. We pl...

What was the support like for us there tonight? Where we the majority or the minority? And for those who were there - where the Kiwis mainly neutral or leaning one way or the other? I talked to my parents this morning, who went over, and they said Saints colours easily outnumbered Swans 15-1. This ...

Ross was very good last night 10 contested possesions. I liked Saunders, really showed some good spirit. He looks like the type of player Geelong would normally recruit, we did well there. As for White, kick a bag this weekend and take Kois's place (please). IMO Hickey needs to come in against the ...

Absolutely agree. We can easily make this part of our top request regarding fixturing going into next year.

Effort was very impressive. Just looked like every player gave that 5% more than they've been giving in the last few weeks (apart from Armo - who has been giving 200% to contests he isn't even involved in). Could have stolen the game, however it is hard to win when you have so many 'new' players in ...

I like it - I would like to have a Poppy or something on it to commemorate ANZAC day, but isn't the Rising Sun strictly and Australian badge these days? Or does it still refer to the Kiwis? Also, even if there is a Poppy or something on the jumper they probably wouldn't put it on the ones that you c...

Will the Saints and Swans have an ANZAC Rising Sun badge (or equivalent) on their jerseys in the way that Collingwood and Essendon do when they play on ANZAC day?

For those who didn't see...?

Good goal from Jake Steven

Honestly, I thought it was a dead heat between these guys, maybe Hayes was slightly better if anyone. Goddard was very good around the ground, whereas Hayes was in a league of his own. The Goddard mark and goal should have gone down in AFL legend as the best Grand Final victory goal ever, but let's ...

Obviously this year is the first year that we will be playing in NZ for ANZAC day, against Sydney. How long is the contract to play in NZ for? Does it extend x number of years into the future, or is it simply 'we plan on doing it every year, but let's see how it goes first'? Also, will be playing ag...

I read that article the complete opposite way. How would you feel if one of our players could simply 'see themselves' playing for us beyond this year? What did you expect him to say - I hate this club and I want to leave, and there's no way I'll be playing here next year? He can kiss goodbye any cha...

Would be worth going for, in my opinion. We have salary cap space now, and could throw it hard at Heppell. Offer him a huge, front loaded contract, far beyond anything that Essendon can offer (whilst we still have the money to spare in the cap) to try and lure him across. There is no point in having...

If?

The club "believes" it practices best practice protocols?

i get the leaving for money thing id do the same (he isnt worth it at all they will see that) BUT He Lied he was leaving all year.... no doubt about that Yes i will be booing him.... he is no longer a stkilda player whether im still a fan or not is another story... I actually do doubt that. I would...

Good to hear but O am suprised it's only 1 year, would have thought for Ledger it would be at least 2 year deal Don't see how Ledger has earned more than a one year extension. He's been serviceable, and because of his age he may improve - but he hasn't earnt two years from his current performance l...

He must have gone to the Scotch College in Perth - he definitely didn't go to the Scotch College in Melbourne.

The thing I admire about Hayden Ballantyne is his sportsmanship.

Said nobody, ever.

Mentioned 'St Kilda's Nick Riewoldt'

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/150617/default.aspx This article is about Fremantle and their potential play for a gun forward (focusing on Buddy) by offering up to $1.5 for the 2014 season. There is, however, speculation by the author that if that fails, they could target Ri...

No need to retire that one, surely... Just give it to a kid we like in the draft (e.g how Sipposs got number 2) or give it to one of the guys coming in like Hickey that they're pretty confident will play a big part in years to come.
