exactly Bev .. if you truely are passionate about the Saints you just cant give them up

Signed Sealed Sainter - a question for you. what if due to unforeseen circumstances you had to move to WA or QLD or NZ ? Would you stop supporting the Saints and start following the Eagles, Lions or a different code ? .. and dont take the option of saying you will never move .. because you just dont...

I wonder....since they did the faded number this year....why not just take a normal home jumper and do a fade effect on it....white light grey and light red with light grey shorts....then it will be the same but different.....could someone whip one up so we can see what it would look like why fade ...

Every AFL supporter recognises the traditional tri-color design as St Kilda - so why are we messing with that ?. It is what differentiates us from every other club. IMHO the clash design jumper should feature the traditional tri-colour front - but with an all white back worn with white shorts. That ...

Surely its not going to take a few pre-seasons to get it right ? Maybe getting the players individual strength and fitness programs 100% might take a couple of years, but I would have thought if these guys are as good as the spin says then we would see a definite improvement in injury management thi...

lots of single digit and low numbers up for grabs this year ( 1 less now with Frasers return )

when do we find out who gets what number

reading this thread just really shows how much everybody invested emotionally into Barry Brooks - having given up 2 good picks for a highly rated junior ruckman who delivered nothing has obvioulsy scarred a lot of people on this forum !! Lets put it behind us people and look forward - give Ben a go !

he sounds a lot like Leigh Montagna when he was drafted.

Sounds like he might need a couple of years to break into the seniors and then another couple to really find his feet - a la Joey.

I didnt think Cadyn Beetham was actaully a bad player - it was all about his attitude.

If his head had been screwed on correctly he would now be a 100+ game player for the saints

terrible waste of talent

having moved to Adelaide, Foxtel is the only non-biased footy coverage we get. Its a god send in footy season. I hardly use it duiring hte offseason - kids love it though for the cartoons and animal docos.

If it wasnt for the footy though, we probably wouldnt have it.

Geelong still clearly the standout. I personally still rate the Eagles - although losing Judd and Cousins will move them from the top rung to the 2nd rung. Collingwood probably the other team whose youngsters will continue to mature and join the Eagles on the 2nd rung. Throw a blanket over a group f...

same arguments as when the Swans moved to Sydney 20 odd years ago

It took 15 years and some tampering by the AFL to finally make that move work ...

History is about to repeat ..

Just because Brooks, Watts, Wall and Sweeney got delisted by St Kilda, doesnt mean they still cant play with Casey. I would expect that Watts would nominate himself for the PSD I would expect Watts, Brooks, Wall & Sweeney to nominate for the PSD. Not that confident that any will get picked up !...

seriously can play football (he almost single handedly lifted WC to victory in the 2nd half when we played them at TD this year) seriously has issues - does he corrupt the rest of the group, or are they strong enough to ignore all that crap do we want to be associated with a druggie ? and what messa...

is he just a 2 year younger version of Barry brooks ?

so Leigh is obviously rated by Sydney then .. pity he doesnt get the same respect from some of our "supporters".

I rate him and would've hated to see him leave

the last tine we gave up a low draft pick for a "promising young ruckman who was 3rd or 4th in line" at his original club we got Brooks I'm glad we didnt give up a low pick to get wood - he is unproven. even if King doesnt play a game we lost nothing in giving up pick 90. I cant see the do...

King is a proven AFL footballer. Wood is not. Pies gave up a first rounder, we gave up pick 90 and got Charlie Gardiner for free. Everyone says Wood has a big future - but ruckmen dont always come on - eg Brooks & Adelaide's Meeson are 2 fine examples. Wood has a long way to go to esablish himse...

1 has a big heart but no talent. The other has buckets of talent but no heart.

what a shame we couldnt combine the 2

charlie is not in our best 18 and would be there to add some depth to the list only. If he plays more than a half dozen games then I'm assuming that we will have run into injuries yet again. He is better than what we would have got for pick 90. Welcome Charlie - do us all a favour - blossom and prov...

Yep, I'll say it again. Beware of the Sheldon factor. My memories of the draft periods of 1990, 1991, and 1992 haunted me for years. Gee, who did he pass up? Only guys like Peter Matera and Michael Long, just to name a couple. Read these names and weep Jodi Arnol Tony Antrobus Steven Clarke Brian W...

I think her boyfriend is looking for 2 first round draft picks at a minimum ..

doubt Ebert will still be there whne our pick comes. Grab him if he is there - given the name, at worst he will be good trade bait in a couple of years -
power have lots of Vic boys eg Chaplin, Salopek, Boak etc

fair to say that Ross Lyon would be having a fair bit of input into the worth of any trades involving Sydney players.

yeah some good points B4E .. particulalry on Cats depth .. they have some awesome talent there that still is to come into that team and not a lot of players on the way out. I think you've undersold WCE - if they get an injury run similar to cats this year, they will finish top 2 with all the associa...
