As a West Australian Saints supporter, I have major issues with this. Not only will I, not get to see the Saints over here at least once a year, half of us members can only get into one game a year. Unless they work a deal with West Coast or the dockers which guarantees entry to AT LEAST one fixture...

Can only hope. I would love to see gardi play for the Saints, but a think his full-time rucking days are well past. 4 years without a serious hitout is a long time. People are wondering how Gehrig will go, and pre-season's only just started. All the best, but maybe we'll have the tallest forward EVE...

To alleviate this, why not have the Vics play in a white jumper with a black V. Would we be seeing a bit of a Vic backlash then. I thought so. But, if this game is not about the jumper, why not?

From the Wa perspective, I'd love to see State of Origin returned to it's glory years (I got to see Derek Kickett and Nicky play FFS) but West Coast pretty much guaranteed that concepts failure. Perhaps if the AFL had taken such a strong stance back then, we wouldn't be talking about it. Nicky domin...

Don't think the West/South Aussies and the like will be too happy about this. Without the sense of pride in the State jumper, it's pretty much just an All-Star game, and if you see how these things pan out in the States, you'd know it won't be a REAL game of footy. Over there, it's an honour being s...

Why not have a two-pronged forward line. Kosi plays a pack mark style forward, whereas G is the complete opposite. With Schneider playing a legitimate crumbing option, and Milney finding space, we'd have all bases covered. Roo's suspect kick for goal wouldn't be worth bothering about, as he could pl...

Would be a good stoush, but from what I've heard Barry would probably come up trumps.

Geez, hope we don't need to do any gardining soon hey? Wouldn't want to come across as too self-righteous.

most pple can be bought.....especially your typical labour supporter I'll have to be bought off to pay for my kids schooling if Johnny has his way with the Construction union. Sorry we don't all bow down to big business and cop sh*t for doing a hard days slog while they all sit in their ivory tower...

Geez I hope so. 8 is better than 9.

Mate saw it while trying to follow his stolen wallet around the area looking for the thieves (completely unrelated). Says Cousins was handcuffed at scene, and Chick was arrested down the street. Don't know how true, but he's shattered (hardcore Eagles man). Reports also say Gang Taskforce made the a...

Why is it when a woman assaults a man, they get off scott free. They're just as dangerous with a knife as any other (not in this instance), and should be treated accordingly. Women's lib works both ways.

Even better, they trade away pick 3 to St Kilda for Gardiner and pick 9. Eagles get back Gardy, we get pick 3, Eagles get back Gardy and pick 9. SWEET!!!

Why would he be sacked for turning away an ambulance? Since when has the club got the right to judge a man's medical skills, and if so, wouldn't they be blaming the ambos who left him there anyway? Mainwaring was no longer an Eagle, and shouldn't be judged as one. FFS, some people really get on thei...

Left with grace, unlike someone we all know. Hope to God the new board knows what they're doing, and doon't push us back to the dark old days.

Who's GT? Isn't Ross the boss in charge. Get on or f*ck off. Pretty simple

What about Dal Santo and our first round pick. Would the Eagles bite? A bit to give up, but apparently Judd's worth all this and more, so why no throw it out there.

No. Parents should. To expect a sportsman to be a role model is complete crap. Kids might like to emulate their deeds on the field, but a parent should instill values.

If she's stupid enough to hang with blokes who'd throw a poolball at THAT table, she deserves everything she supposedly got. Trying to protect adickhead is no excuse in a court of law

If we're lucky, one will make it. No guesses Roo, I mean who?

Farewell big fella. One of my faves, gone. Go out in style (10 goals). Leaves a massive hole in our playing stocks. Now Gardi must come good to iunleash Kosi into the forward line, as FF. Demolished the eagles there, and we don't really have too many options. May save Brooks ass but. Fergus and him ...

I can get drunk tonight and not get in trouble from the mrs til tomorrow

Exactly. Find comfort in the warmth you're not alone my fellow Saintsationalists. Eveybody's hurting ATM. Blame Collingwood. I do.

Lock it now...please.

At the trade table.

I love the bloke, but let's admit, he's a shadow of his former self. If another team thinks he's worth the punt, and would give up a quick, hard working mid, would we take it? Put aside the emotion, and it's gotta be worth looking at.
