I'm relieved too. Something just did not feel right about him. I think that who ever got him was going to pay overs because of the demand for him from a number of clubs. I reckon we can do better with our pick 13.

When Scott was asked yesterday on SEN as to whether we are going after Caddy, he said "we are after someone of that ilk". He did not sound so confident about Caddy.

We have a true and tried professional heading up our list management. I don't think we ever had someone of Pelchen's ilk in a similar role before, so why don't we give him a chance. He has a plan/strategy and we need to trust in it. The club and Watters believe in it. Pelchen is not infallible natur...

Well said sainter#4. Fully agree with you.

Will these figures become public though?

Will we ever know through the FA process what out final offer to BJ was?

Hawks smashed them in the contested possessions and clearances. I mean really smashed them when you look at th stats. Normally a good indication. Not yesterday. Great gutsy win. Brings back some shocking mempries though. Used to love GF day. Don't enjoy watching them any more. Hope time heals. :cry...

Is there a precedent in the history of VFL/AFL where a 32 year old out side mid earned $800,000?..........that is what is being suggested if he gets a 4 year deal at 800K a year...........I refuse to believe any team in the AFL is that stupid........!!! According to the papers, the Dockers are prep...

But isn't Nick simply getting payed what he's worth? Its just the machinations of an evolving list. It is difficult to know what he will be worth next year but he sure could have bled the club if he wanted to three years ago when this contract was being negotiated and GC was after him as their marq...

well tell me what happened then. archer did play for north yes. His contract he signed a few years ago was front loaded so next year he gets 500k. A pay cut would be if he was contracted to a mill for 2013 but told the club he would gladly play for 500k. True but other clubs , three years ago when ...

Lenny is a legend.

BJ has never got over the GF losses and he needs to have another crack at premiership. I don't believe it was ever about money or length of contract.

He's fit - but the only issue with being new to the game is - does he have a football brain? A late pick based on potential....why not! We see so many people with the physical attributes....Tommy Walsh is an example - tall, built like a tank, massive kick, quick - but he cannot read the play to sav...

Yeh, agreed. I suppose we would have nothing to lose if we put out a very late draft pick. Worth a punt. I like the last paragraph in is bio.

[quote="Teflon"]Some interesting... Goddard - saints offered 600k and 3 yrs...he wants 4 yrs saints will not budge. No offer from Freo....yet Richmond - into Chaplin from Port and Knights from Adelaide...hhmm... Saints interested in GC ruckman ...Hickey???????[/ quote] Tom Hickey's bio fro...

87% win rate since 2007, no bullsh**!! This season there has been 15 wins and just 1 loss, they are straight win bets (and not just on easy games like collingwood to beat gws) This system picked Richmond to beat Hawthorn in Round 9. If you dont believe me check out the website and subscribe to the ...

I asked a couple of my Australian Muslim friends what would they do if they were Saad? That is, would they not drink during a game or would they break their fast? They told me that it is actually possible to get an exemption from fasting under certain circumstances, such as health reasons or work re...

groupie1 wrote:nope, then it isn't a universal thing then. Muslims can drink water during Ramadan during the day. And obviously some don't.

Yes they can, but not if they are fasting.

BJ is an elite St Kilda player currently experiencing a form slump. I cant believe how quickly some supporters turn on club champions. I say he is worth what ever the club is willing to pay him as that would be his market value to remain at the club and I hope we don't lose him as we have lost previ...

Yesterday was just a stinker all round. In regards to Saad, I believe Ramadan has just started so he probably would have been hungry given that he wouldn't be eating until the sun goes down. I was thinking about that actually. Could be a factor. May be worth playing as a sub for the moment, bringin...

I know the players are professionals but I think some are still affected, though some more than others from the GF losses. Who can blame them, I am still broken hearted and I am only a supporter. I can't help but think that BJ especially is having trouble getting over the disappointment. Some other ...

I find it quite frustrating how unoriginal some journalists can be,,, always seem to ask the same question- sometimes in differant ways but basicly the same question example will be tonight when BJ is on the Footy Show panel- " have you been approached by GWS. Have you signed a contract.. bett...

Mathew Lloyd just said that Roo nearly had his head torn off in the last quarter.

No... Bashar El-Assad is not a potential draftee who is related to Ahmed Saad, but the Syrian president who is believed to be a prime specimen of a specific condition called DICTATOR DELUSION SYNDROME suffered by the tiny class of humanity who run authoritarian regimes. Check out his pic and you'll...

Anyway isn't there a no dickheads policy? :lol: :lol: Love to have him back at the club one day as you can't doubt his passion for the Saints. But I don't think now is the time. If he ever was to return ... and it's unlikely ... it would be as senior coach. For me he's in a different category to Ly...
