Having spent a night on the booze with Robbie about thirteen years ago with his family after watching an interstate game at Moorabbin in the Social Club, I think it is tragic that he's still drinking. In a way the fact that he is still energetic enough to get around the great state of Victoria is te...

Also remember having to play at Geelong - which is a Clayton's interstate venue - every year for a long time too, so you could add that to the list for sure.

Although I'll be really upset with Dawson if he leaves, because I believe he will make a very good second tall defender - he's not a full back - it is a bit disapointing to read some of the comments being made about him on a supporters' forum. He is second only to Raph in terms of copping it from hi...

Still can't believe the Squawks let McPharlin go.

I agree with Plugger that Dawson rarely got a bag kicked on him, but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we have been a top side since he crossed over. Remember when he beat Buddy Franklin in Launceston? He can do a good job when the opportunity is there, but i think he is going to ge...

Dawson is the new O'Brien. O'Brien was forced to leave Essendon after following an umpire home who reported him, he gets a second chance with St. Kilda, and kicks sixty goals as a foil for the greatest full forward ever, and then follows that full forward to Sydney, and does nothing. O'Brien owed St...

The coaches at Sandy had their doubts about whether Archer could make it in the AFL. On the face of it, he looks lucky to have stayed on the list, but good luck to him moving forward. hope he can prove them wrong.

I'm with you on this one BigCarl. Moods, my contention is not that Lyon couldn't coach, far from it, rather that he didn't know how to mould and develop young players with no experience. In other words he couldn't actually teach them how to play. Lyon did a good job, as I stated. Better than Thomas,...

Don't like what Rossy did, but I did enjoy watching the saints win 65% of their games under him and always being competitive, not to mention four finals appearances and three grand finals. Personally reckon Lyon may have left earlier if we had pinched one of those Flags, and gone for the big bucks a...

Love to see Maxy come back to the club as defensive coach. Bumped into him at a milk bar on Hampton St during the week of the build up to the Grand Final Replay last year and he said that he would've loved to have stayed at the Saints but nothing was offered. Made a point of saying to me that he rea...

I'm with Savatage who wrote I hope we get two gun kids and shove it up Sydney's arse.
I'll take two kids from the bush who bleed footy, or a mature age rookie from the VFL who will kill for a chance.
Go Saints.
Walsh is now my second most hated player after Ball in the AFL. Hope he never makes it.

I read on saintsational that Ryan was a cats supporter after our Qualfiying Final win against them in 2010. The tone of that forum was that if Ryan had been the closest umpire to the play we would not have received the free that we did, which effectively saved the game for us because Ryan barracks f...

Reasons to hate Carlton - every saints supporter over the age of 35 will remember these two games 1987 - Princes Park - Owen kicks the sealer and his seventh(?) goal at the 30 minute mark to put us 7 points ahead. Outrageous free paid against Grant allows cheap kick to Spalding who feigns injury so ...

Gold Coast - shocked a few sides this year, but they had the element of surprise. From memory, who did they beat? Richmond (in Cairns), Port, and Brisbane. All very poor sides having bad days. They will win a few games, no doubt, but they will also cop some huge floggings, especially if one or more ...

reckon Barlow was a far worse stuff up tbh. Walsh will probably be okay, but Barlow would have been great for us. Personally hate the position that Walsh defecting has put us in. That is, I have to bring negative sentiments into play again. I.e. Actively hope that Walsh has no success and fades away...

I think Siposs, Ledger, Cripps and Lenny Hayes are going to make a heck of a difference next year. If the forgotten man, Rhys Stanley, can get a full pre-season under his belt and focus he could be another Everitt too. Don't know about Cahill, Archer or Johnson. But if they play regularly they could...

If our recruiters do their job properly and use pick 35 prudently, we will get a better player than Walsh in the draft. And that is not speculation or clairvoyancy - as Steven J Peake would say. I base that on this - we have the 35th pick to select any player in Australia that we like. The entire co...

Surprised to read so many people eager to see Gram go. Arguably should have been the club's first Norm Smith Medallist and still very handy, particularly in light of Gwilt being out for 2012 with a knee. Kicking skills aren't always great but could be worked on. Fair enough if the club need room in ...

I wouldn't accept pick 30. I would do my best to keep a player who we brought over to this country, set up, then developed for two years. I would ask the coach to speak to him reasonably about his plans for him, and then if his heart is really set on living in Sydney, I would deal, but like for like...

Simple fact of the matter is this - in the 70s and 80s Carlton and Richmond would go after and destabilise good players from other clubs because they had the money and there was no salary cap. Now we have a salary cap, but the teams in the two growth areas such as Brisbane and Sydney have been given...

Kosi needs to play in the ruck. For years the argument was that he couldn't play ruck because he could get injured, but I think now, the fact that he is 29, past his prime, but still holds his place as a regular, means that he needs to be played somewhere he is not likely to get exploited for his la...
