Re: If we play 2 games per year in NZ from 2015.....

Sorry. . Thought you meant 3 games in n .z.
Even 2 games is 1 game too many in my opinion.

Re: If we play 2 games per year in NZ from 2015.....

Got to hand it to you for persistence. I dunno about Christchurch. Real rugger strong hold. Its the Crusaders down there isnt? Population is 360,000 - so bigger than Hobart. I just think two games per year over there is one too many. It has to be novelty factor. Nice place for a skiing holiday thou...

So you would prefer to give Stanley the best full back or maybe double team him?

Re: Contract time - 2014

I reckon Lenny could easily play on. His last five games have been 22, 24, 32, 34, 24 disposals; 6, 8, 5, 8, 9 tackles; more than 10 contested possessions each time. He didn't have 30 at all last year but he's hit it twice already this year. He'd be top ten, probably top five in the B&F. (Riewo...

Re: If we play 2 games per year in NZ from 2015.....

What good are members if they are paying bugger all to be one anyway. Losing two games to n.z might get you a few members over there but it eventually becomes less appealing to home supporters . One game for Anzac Day fair enough but no more. It's funny how n.z don't care if any locals go to the gam...

Re: VFL Rd 6 Sandringham Vs Footscray

Savage is s*** Looked good when he took it on in the last qtr. Ran past opposition with speed, carried the ball and kicked with precision. Yes he wasn't great, but he teased a bit late in the game. Maybe gave us an indication of what he is capable of. Just needs something to click. Whether that is ...

Dermott can say what he wants about the club but it's obvious by his tone that he hates the club.

Re: Hickey- Foot Injury

"Foot injury" is such a vague term and pretty dissapointing that the club gives it's fans such skinny detail on the actual nature of the injury. If it's a stress reaction, be conservative most likely of either the navicular or the 2nd metatarsal, it's straight up a 6-8 week recovery, no s...

Re: New Zealand this time round compared to last year??

The saints never had a deal like the hawks to play in tassie. They get millions to play down there whereas we only benefited from playing at a lower cost ground against teams that we usually have small crowds for. Personally i was rapt that we left tassie to play our home games back in melbourne.

I wonder if there is a history of foot injuries at port adelaide over the last couple of years. It would be interesting to compare as i imagine the saints would be adopting ports training stratagies .

This game should def be played during the day over there . But of course to avoid a clash with the almighty over here it won't happen .
If they are serious about showing afl skills it has to be a day game.

Re: September bound?

With this kind of form and looking at the fixture I have us winning about 8 games .
I looked at the ladder position over the last few years with 8 wins and it's usually about 4th or 5th last.
I would be happy with the forth or fifth pick.

All you doom sayers should just shut up. This is a long term project that will eventually bear fruit. You can't expect to have 100,000 people jump on board after just 1 game. We need to be patient and be in it for the long haul. One game a year for the next 5 years is ok for now but I firmly believ...

I mean, when was the last time we were entitled to get this excited?
I'd say the finals series of 2010 but agree it was the best win in 3 years since 2011 that I can remember .
