And Curren?

How did the Gwilt go?

I guess it's good to have a forum where we can rant and rave about our football team especially when we lose. God knows over the years the Saints have given us much to be disappointed in. So we go down to Freo by 13 does it mean our season is over? I don't think so and neither should you. We have a ...

Plenty. Forget the margin or the scoreboard. It was how we went about it. Last week was a great step in the right direction. This was a small leap. We smashed the dish lickers in the midfield and in contested possessions. Lenny was sensational. What a recovery from doing your AC? How stupid was Lake...

I personally think it is a case of Watters not wanting to talk it up. He knows the history of the club only too well. He also knows that the Saints have in the past promised a lot and failed to deliver. That seems to be the club legacy post 1966. It is very safe for him to talk about a five year pla...

We have a very smart coach who pretty much tells it like it is. We live in the age of free agency. When players come out of contract and get big offers clubs are going to struggle to hold on to their stars. St Kilda is no exception. We might lose BJ or Sammy Gilbert or whoever else is out of contrac...

Great analysis and some great comments as well. I will try and resist the temptation to get carried away with the Saints.One minute exhiliration and the next maximum disappointment. But I have a feeling about this new crop and the coach. If you are right and it is a feeling I share, the 2012 Saints ...

Probably to give Ledger a run and see what he could do. Have no real idea. Just guessing.

Forget the scoreline what excites me about this victory is the way we went about it and the way the new boys played. Milera, Cripps drifted in and out Newnes yes even Ledger. Clint Jones showed a marked improvement as a tagger. Sure Ablett was magnificent but to my mind Jones did alright. What I lik...

If we didn't just lose to last years wooden spooners, then i would agree. But reality is if we are fair dinkum then we should be PUMMELING sides like port. You make a good point, However, the NAB cup form was a sign that Port are big improvers on last year's form. They were also good out of the blo...

Today's press reports say Ledger was not fit so that's why he didn't play. He is a definite for next week based on Watter's post match remarks. I reckon there is going to be a few blokes like Peake, Ray, Polo and Jones who will struggle to get a game this year because they refuse to do the hard stuf...

A lot members of this forum have some harsh things to say about the team and today's effort. Many of the criticisms are justified and insightful in that they have identified problems with the way the Saints have been playing their footy for at least the past 12 months or more. But IMHO don't write S...

If you have an iphone and the AFL app you can use it to listen to the game live on 3AW no matter where you live.

A search of a consensus of medical opinion suggests 2-8 weeks for a grade 1 or 2 tear of the PCL. No surgery. If he has no history of a previous serious knee injury his recovery should be shorter rather than longer. Bad luck for him and the Saints. His form has been very good and I reckon we need pl...

Did a quick medical search for hyper extended knee and that appears to be the body of opinion. Two to four weeks rest. Let's hope he hasn't torn a ligament. That would be very cruel for him and St Kilda.

Two to four weeks if he hasn't torn a ligament.

Hi,

I know it is very early days but can you see real improvement in the team compared to last year or do we have to wait until the real competition starts before that assessment can be made?

Rosco just thought I would remind you of the following. It's for the benefit of people like you who can't read without moving their lips : SAINTSATIONAL COMMUNITY GUIDELINES (March 2010) These guidelines are designed to make this St Kilda Football Club fan forum run smoothly and is an enjoyable envi...

Just for the record. I never suggested trading Judd for Armitage. You did.

Hey still waiting. How is life in la la land? I am sure you feel right at home. Yet another blow hard know-it-all all who professes to "know" everything about the St Kilda football club and its machinations and instead knows nothing. This forum is full of them. It's certainly entertaining.

Thank you for your reply. Yes you are right. I can see how my original post might have caused confusion. You are also right in that I am insinuating the second point. DA did not directly cost Judd coming to Saints. It is my understanding ( stress on the word understanding) that it was a case of maki...

You probably could too if you could spell argument.

Well done Swarta. Finally someone who is both articulate and intellectual. And you spelt it correctly. There is hope for you yet. Well done mate.

Speaking of losers. This post seems to have attracted more than its fair share present company excluded. I share a piece of important information that I thought might have been of interest to genuine Saints fans and all you lot want to do is shoot the messenger. Well go ahead if it makes you feel be...

Saint Pav. It's all a question of mind over matter. I don't mind and you don't matter.
