Re: memories of the 60's - Oakley
Great player was Ross Oakley, I watched one of his last (if not the last) games at the Fitzroy ground. I think it was in 1966. Anyway, he took a mark on the boundary. Maybe 30 yards (in those days young fellas). I was sitting on the fence. First time I ever saw a banana kick. right through the midd...

Re: Former Saint - Kevin Roberts - on SEN
Don't get SEN, love K Roberts in his day (#23). Also a former Reserves Coach. Beautiful left-footed drop kick, exclusively a half-forward flank. Look forward to hearing what he had to say.

Re: Sense Ross rising star ?
I was a big rap for him, but.... Last night he had 22 possessions but, to be honest, I didn't notice too many hurting the opposition. I spotted him as, I thought, totally out of gas before 3/4 time and can only assume Lenny was sore when subbed-out. I thought Ross was cooked and sure to be benched. ...

Re: Should we recruit Ian Robson to the board?
Ian Robson, a StKilda man through and through! What value would he bring to the Board? Ostrich impersonations aside, not a Saints person and not of any value to us. At Board level anyway.

Re: Against Dogs. We're the BADDIES !!
Turn up to the match would be a good start. It's our home game and it will be pretty lonely because not too many Doggies "faithful" will be there.

Re: Captain J. Geary 2014?
I would make Big Boy captain at the end of the year. Rooey has had his time and I don't like him as an on field captain anyway. His antics when a ball misses him and his umpire pleading looks grate me. He's a star and maybe the lifting of the captaincy will help him. I have no doubt he's a leader o...

Re: So Gian would've got 5 weeks also?
the reson for the rule was that hit.... Kosi is now part of the fabric of the rules of the game..... Spot on, very similar incident. I happened about 30 metres from our seats and is something I'll never forget. Gia was airborne and actually got Kosi in the temple with his head. That action did all ...

Wright's tearaway style and long kicks seemed to be the blueprint for last night's gameplan. Very impressed with him (again).
