I have heard from not reliable sources that the Minogue girls are Saints supporters ... but not fanatics in any way as football is not a passion! I think the association is via Michael Gudinski ... but it may be more than that ... not 100% sure

OK this is something I can talk about with a fair bit of authority ... as I set the whole thing up ... with Elle, the club, the media etc. At the time I was helping the membership committee from a marketing perspective to try to boost awareness about the importance of membership to the finances of t...

Rhys Stanley

Based on the two videos on YouTube ... he is the best ruck prospect the club has had in at least a decade ... perhaps more. Can jump, can tap, can mark, can run (fast), can tackle, can kick, quick hands in traffic, has strong first, second and third efforts, has some mongrel in summary he can play f...

ONLY 44 SHARES TO GO ... and heaps of people yet to put their hands up!

Once we reach 170 shares, we can examine whether we go for a third player or not ... correct?

GrumpyOne - with all due respect, there was a post asking opinions and it was open to everyone. There was overwhelming support for Raph and Jack as players we should back. There were other suggestions but no others gained the same enthusiastic support from posters. Having said that, let's remember t...

As an idea given the enthusiastic response from last year, why not go for one core e.g. raph clarke (as further encouragement after showing us positive signs in late 08) and the up-and-coming Jack Steven? That is $2550 ... and IF we reach that total, we then consider raising funds for another develo...

AFL site has his birthday as 09/02/76 ... perhaps they have it wrong?

My point still stands ... our core is 25 to 29.

chook23 - that fact is not lost on me. Gold Coast play their first season in 2012. We really have 2009, 2010 and 2011 as our prime opportunities. We have 4 queensland boys on our list - Roo (approaching 30), Gilbert (will be mid 20s defender in his prime), David Armitage who should be an elite in an...

Topping Up, Investing in Youth or Both?

This year's draft is the most important draft not only in recent history but in the Saints history and I believe strategy is going to be as important as talent identification. The debate is obviously fuelled by the fact that Gold Coast and then West Sydney will be getting the best kids from 2010 to ...

Delisted Players

Can we create a list of officially delisted players from each club? Ideally there would be no opinions in this thread as to the players ability and whether we should / should not be drafting ... however official stats / previous drfat history for that player should be more than welcome.
