Yesterday's Saints activities received good coverage on Fox Sports News last night - came in towards the end of the story but they were interviewing Nick and showing footage of the players' surfing skills. Some Saints players also met with several of the boys already signed by the Gold Coast team.

Ogilvy played very well but I've spent the afternoon hoping that Mathew Goggin would hang on.

Is Greg Phillips the Collingwood player??

Agree with Conlan.

Well done Harvs!!

Do they take bets on the Madden Medal because the Herald Sun web-site jumped the gun with the press release and had the article confirming Harvey's win (with a 4.00pm time) on the site at around noon today!!

Must have realised their error as it was later removed and then re-posted.

Thanks Saint Media. I'll watch with interest and will no doubt continue to be amazed at how the majority of these 17 and 18 year old "boys" can front media conferences/interviews and speak without the slightest hesitation. Will also be interesting to see if any of the Saints boys have any ...

Did anyone see Ricky Nixon on the Fox Sports draft special??

I part heard a snippet on the news and I thought he said that several clubs had contacted him re Ben.

Can anyone confirm what he did actually say?

Cornelius interviewed terribley and it turned a lot of clubs off That maybe, but I really can't see any reason for a club to go off a player because of that... If he can kick and run and play good football, surely that is the main criteria... Just how well did Nicky Winmar go with interviews??? and...

So was Hamill.

Aaron's own little girl looked very cute in Sunday's paper - although I'm not so sure that the article which accompanied the photo counted as newsworthy!!

I thought they said on Channel Ten news that the meeting has already been held at a secret location earlier today.

Channel Ten crossed live to a reporter at Moorabbin.

It's not about sponsers having a problem turning around a fallen star, I would imagine they all would love that angel and in the very least not be worried about it. Where the problem with sponsers come in is if Ben starts to get into trouble and that creates a bad image for the club and therefore f...

Can see what you are saying, sainbrat, but couldn't the side also use a little Dash and Steele!!

Perhaps it would have been a proactive move, if you did not already know, to find out what the requirements were before having your body hair shaved/waxed. Give the bloke a break, perhaps he should ring the AFL next time he wants to have a shyte. How about the AFL being proactive and getting the so...

which could also explain the reaction to the cerdict by cousins.... perhap he was given the understanding that if he passed the tests he would be allowed back with just the usual tests all AFL player cop. Then he turned up with short hair, which meant that they couldn't hair test him. Thus the comm...

This is the article from today's Herald Sun re the hair test - Ben Cousins' close shave. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24673289-2862,00.html There is also the record of a live blog from Damian Barrett on the Herald Sun website which also covers, amongst other things, the Cousins' no...

Nothing yet.

Prolly be a day or two.

Thanks Quixote.

Has there been any statements/comments from either Ben Cousins or Ricky Nixon as yet??

I'd say by getting rid of Jones that are trying to appeal to a wider audience, I think Brayshaw will bring a connection to the young audience that perhaps watch Thursday nights footy show? Any news on who will replace Bickley? Read somewhere, either Sunday's Age or Herald Sun, that Nathan Thompson ...

Article from Herald Sun on-line titled Riewoldt excited by Cousins' return.

New Assistant Coach is Leigh Tudor (former Geelong VFL coach).

I think the clubs that come back earlier than the prescribed 6 weeks add the extra time to either the Christmas break or have the extra week off at some other time through the pre-season. Seem to recall North Melbourne having a very short break a couple of years ago and from memory the additional le...

Was my understanding that the new state-wide comp in Tasmania (which I believe many Tassie folk hate the idea of) has officially killed off the Devils? Haven't they tried (and failed) with that state wide concept before? Perhaps the off-shore moderator or some one close to the footy scene in Tassie...

First unsociable football now unsociable trading - what next Hawthorn??

Danielle and Sarita used to work as models together for The Price Is Right.

From what I read in the social pages, they also run a grooming/deportment business together now.
