I'm attending this game with my wife, coming down from Brisbane and using our Interstate membership to gain entry. I did'nt think getting seats would be a problem as I thought Hawthorns fan base is not that great. Can one of you experienced Melbourne Sainters advise if we should be buying tickets or...

I can tell you why you should forget following bum sniffing or any other sport in 3 words and stick with the Saints.Strength Through Loyalty.

Mark, Stuart King is one of those gentleman that comes under the heading "They just do not make men like him any more" If you go to the saints.com site they have some info on him. He can also be found on wikipedia (photo in RAAF uniform). A very capable footballer,cricketer,lawyer etc etc....

Are you serious,you don't know the MM connection with the Saints?
Played 53 games with the Saints from 1972 to 1976,and was traded by
us to Richmond. Went on to become a Richmond Premiership player,
Footscray coach,West Coast Premiership coach and these days
Collingwood coach and all round tool

Thompson looked a bit surprised to have a StKilda fan want to be in a photo with him. Yes Thompson is a great (Premiership) coach and (Premiership) player,I respect him and he seems like a pretty good bloke whenever he is interviewed,I just wouldn't want a photo with him,but that's my thoughts. On t...

At the begining of the Fox telecast of the game against the Dogs they showed a StKilda fan going up to "Bomber" Thompson,who was sitting there to watch the game begin. He sits down besides Thompson,gets out his phone and takes a happy snap. Why would a StKilda fan want a photo taken with t...

Thanks Loris,Duggie etc for posting those wonderful stories/memories.

I'm not great at estimating crowds,but 120 kids is a great result...I tend to understate matters....yes the players were fantastic with the kids and signing jumpers,posters etc and having photos taken with fans.A great day indeed.

Hey Newman, It was a great day I thought,and a good turn up of kids I reckon (maybe 70-80 kids),after all we are a long way from StKilda!. Yep my son would love to be a Saints rookie, and he's training hard to get a senior game with Aspley, he was wrapped to see some of them at "Fridays" l...

Went to Coorparoo for the Saints in your city this morning. My boys are too old for footy clinics but one of my sons works for AFLQ (and of course he is a Saints fan) so we just had to go along...here are a few photos. The Saints players were great. Armo couldn't make according to Nick Dal Santo due...

I don't know much about Scott Harding other than he has been delisted from the Lions.His father has just been appointed coach where my son plays footy with the local AFLQ Team Aspley Hornets,and if Scott Harding does not get picked up in the PSD,he may very well play with the mighty Hornets.....here...

Great post Bigred. I started barracking for the Saints when we moved from Brisbane to Bentleigh in 1967. I was 7 years old at the time trying to fit in at West Bentleigh Primary School. Every birthday since then I have wished to see the Saints win the flag. Later this year I turn 50 and I hope my Bi...

We are coming down for the weekend from Brisbane.Add another 6 people to that list Bev!

Thanks St Michele

Thanks...I'll pm Bev....regards Mark

Does anyone have an email address or site for the SEQ Saints?
Cheers Mark

Yes there has been some great H & A games...now some nostalga when I was 8 years old..... Last Round (20) 1968. StKilda has to beat Geelong at Moorabbin to clinch 4th spot in the then final 4.If we lose and Richmond wins,Richmond finish 4th and we finish fifth. A crowd of just over 34,000 see th...

I watched the '97 Prelim Final Saints V Roos with Bev,Murray and the rest of the local Saints supporters at this venue. We had a great time.Great people.....alas I will be working from 530pm to 330am so I will get score updates from my wife....carn the Saints

StKilda Vs Melbourrne the Carl Ditterich-Paul Callery Cup StKilda vs Gold Coast 17 would be the Nick Riewoldt-Sam Gilbert Cup because watching these guys destroy the GC17 is the closest they will get. and The AFL v Aboriginal All Stars could be the Michael Jackson Trophy because........someone funni...

One answer only.It must be Lyon that goes.Bring in Wallace and a new 5 year plan

A great post Everton. I wish I could express myself so eloquently. I remember a few years back the club sending out a form requesting ideas from members to make the club membership more attractive/value for money. so we could increase our membership base.I wrote back in large black texta across the ...

Raph's contact on Ben Warren was accidental,a result of both players having eyes for ball only. I was hoping Ben would'nt go to well against us as Ben (a quality person you would want at your club) is a former team mate of my son at the Aspley Hornets here in Brisbane.....and the Saints winning is w...

I second that Bernard Shakey....

I second that Bernard Shakey....

Terry Wallace? ....just kidding.
