I always liked Bailey's dad Dean as an important player for the Saints. I was very disappointed that he was let go at the time. I wasn't that aware of the injury issues but glad for him that he clocked up another 100+ games @ carlton with a premiership thrown in. A likable guy so happy his career co...

I loved the short YouTube of Jason. 10,000 miles from home is impressive in itself so I'm rapt for Jason and his dedication to make it in his new sport. Loved the goal and like the way the man talks. I think i read that along with Basketball and NFL he has also had a go at the world game. Fascinatin...

Mentally it must be terrible. Sometimes it's a very cruel situation. All I can do is hope for the guy.

GOOD LUCK Dan !!

Very Disappointed for Seb - frustrating that he has to walk away from his good period of improvement. I thought 'with a bit of luck' he would be on his way at least for the early part of the season. Sounds like Seb has really been putting himself in and then to get an extremely frustrating blow like...

Glad to hear from cwrcyn and a few others that Ross was looking more comfortable in the thick of things. Robbo back and maybe shaping up to help bring more valuable improvement to the defence - yes thanks. Didn't see the game but pleased to hear some good comments about these two. Happy for Paddy to...

All the best to Nick and Catherine and James.

Might as well add my appreciation for Nathan's long term valuable contribution to the Saints. I think my earliest memory of him (must have forgotten a few before this as I would have seen him play) was in a wonderful finals clash against Geelong @ Arctic Park. Nathan was shaping up as being a crucia...

Hallalj said ... Went by and had a look today and thought I'd give you some observations. Markworth: He Trained and he moves really well, got great size and will make the grade I believe if he stays healthy. McKenzie: Looks the goods, again good size about him moves well and has great closing speed....

I have to say the asada version of correct refered to their attempt to push Saad's punisment upto 100% of what they could apply. In otherwords the 'maximum' penalty. Part of the way through Saad's ban asada sought to increase their own ban. The impression of arbitrariness asada created with this typ...

Always nice to hear of a player turn a corner following chronic injuries - in this case shoulders.
Who knows T.L. could be on the verge of a sustained period that is injury-free and allows him to reach his potential.
GOOD LUCK TO HIM.

G O S A I N T S !

Bluthy said ... Armo - he started off as a genuine leader when Lenny was out early before injury cruelled his season. It's basically his midfield now and I'll think he'll rise to the challenge Spencer White - there is just something about him that loves the big stage. Fitness and endurance is still ...

Well done to Ahmed Saad for improving his strength and running abilities. All the best with the other subtleties of the small forward mind-set. As one of my favourate Saints I'm really hoping Ahmed thrieves under Richo and the 2015 coaches. Ahmed has endured plenty but now he might be able to unleas...

1. N.Wright (time for him to receive some luck & avoid enduring serious injury)

2. Newnes

3. Hickey


GO SAINTS !

Great to see the name of Seb Ross in the group of 4 (including Jack Newnes, Mav Weller and David Armitage) as players 'standing out' due to their efforts so far this preseason. Seb appears to be giving himself every chance of being ready to continue his progress along with Jack Newness in 2015. Sinc...

Very hard for me to pick one over the other as I believe both made enormous contributions to our club (on the field one still is of coarse). Nicky Winmar was a genuine excitement machine and was the player that swung it for me in becoming a Saints Fan. I even remember every now and again hearing som...

Good luck Sippo with your recovery.
I'd like to see Sippo back in contention soon. Injuries must really test some players - a hard road indeed.

GO SAINTS!

I can live with the upgrades to Kardinia Park. It's actually important that Melbourne has a fully-functioning junior city that can take the "overflow" - and Geelong needs to be set up for this purpose. Melbourne is well on its way to becoming too large for its own good. We want first-worl...

I'm Very, Very pleased and excited for Ahmed. I have to say it hurt to see him rubbed out for so long and prevented from playing for the Saints. But my angst has been relieved with Ahmed back and ready to push himself forward into contention once again. I liked the way Ahmed kept himself positive an...

Skeptic said refering 2 Goddard. "I think Dustin Fletcher could be a good example of how this kid should model himself." Interesting comment for myself because I was thinking before the draft just maybe the footy gods will favour the Saints and smack the bombres on their wrists by manipula...

Glad to hear Kevin 'shifter' endorse the 2 big guys the club drafted to be our bookends going fwd. It reminded me of way back when Lockett & 'Spud' Frawley arrived from Ballarat. The Ballarat Bookends (I think both represented Victoria) were fantastic for the Saints i thought so if we can repeat...

At some point we needed to get genuine big guys contributing to the rebuild. McCartin & Goddard arrive together from the same club. Both have genuine potential and wont we be rapt if they can realise it. I like the look of McKenzie & Lonie and if these 4 can complement the other 'recent arri...

Welcome to St. Kilda Jack.
We're ready for some fwd zone excitement .
All the best with pre-season and the rest of 2015.

GO SAINTS!

Hugh continues the love for the Geelong Falcons this year with Paddy impressing our recruiters as well. If he ends up pushing himself into contention for a major defensive post i'll be relieved as i was feeling a bit uneasy with our ageing defenders. Hope Spud can help Hugh get to the next level. Wi...

Heard a snippet this morning (on SEN) of KB discussing the crumbs St.Kilda earns from playing out of the Dome. The club is lucky it can get a bit of extra cash flow from NZ. That one NZ game provides more $$ than the rest of our home games combined. The afl can keep this going till 2025 I think they...

sainternist said "My gut is saying if they don't get Petracca it'll be like passing on a player of Chris Judd's caliber". I have the same recurring bad dream have to say. I remember Judd had the baggage of 2 shoulder recos and that prob. swung the Saints Ballward but yes if only. WC didn't...
