personally I prefer to watch footy without St. Kilda playing. I'm too concerned about winning that I miss the spectical. Only time I'm comfortable is when we are 10 goals up in the 2nd half, until then....

It's too early to judge him yet but a couple of good points have been raised here that are clearly apparant from where I sit. 1)The game plan slowly started to work last year but they now have it down pat. The game plan looks solid. 2)We now have a ruck division that could lead us forward 3)Injuries...

Baker has been good over the years but is nowhere near a sure bet for the 22. actually I hope that he wont be able to win a spot in our side due to good form and fitness of the players already playing. Maguire and Goddard are walk ins if fit and I'd suggest Allen may be required as we need another t...

Goal Kicking Midfielders

I would just like to say that one of the most obvious benefits of having 2 good ruckmen is that our key mids are winning the ball through the midfield rather than starting on the half back line. This allows them to stream forward (and use the size and strength of the ruckman to clear a path) and kic...

Goose equal Untouchable

Sorry to start a new thread but I've only just walked into this inuendo about Goose. If you think that he is tradeable you must have rocks in your head. The core group from 5 years back including X.Clarke and Maguire must be kept and Lyon would be well aware of this. He must re-sign and be happy wit...

Legal Action

As a member of the saints I feel that I will use this forum to endorse any legal appeal against an impending S.Baker suspension. As a financial supporter (unfortunately not a shareholder) I demand that the club ensure that the AFL's kangaroo court does not try and convict Baker of something that has...

McKenna wasn't far off our list and was in our final 3 from what I've heard. You would have to assume that is up to it if he gets that far. Also I must add that he was my boxing/fitness coach a few years back and was very good (Saying that I was a teenager and this is not a prerequisite for coaching...

You have a case... If you include Fitzroy in the Lions history then you are comparing Voss to Hadyn Bunton, Bernie Quinlan and Gary Wilson. Collingwood have a number of great players from yesteryear including the Coventry brothers. Essendon have also had a number of great players including Dick Rey...

On A minor tangent. I would argue that the 5 players on this list are the greatest players these clubs have had in their respective histories. Would the rest of the forum agree with this or suggest a superior player? All of these players would be regarded by their respective club's supporters as bei...

Roo may just miss out but will be close. Pav and J.Brown certainties and if Fev gets up in the Coleman (or Franklin for that matter) will snag a 3rd tall spot. Personally I think the Sammy Fisher and Roo are the only 2 contenders for all OZ that we have. Cos we were so poor for so many games this ye...

Players who I would compare with Hamill are D.Chick, L.Hodge, C.Mooney. Of course they are all different it their own way but have a common thread..hard at it and players around them know they are there (on both teams). I know what it's like playing along or against someone who just smashes opponent...

Saints over the next 3 years.

Lookinh ahead from this season it is clear our team needs some fresh players. A replacement for Max and Fraser is critical, as is having at least 2 A class midfielders with pace. I would also like to see a hard nosed forward developped to replace Hamill who we have missed soooo much. Lets hope we ca...

One of Allen and Watts has to come through.

Likewise McQualter or Armitage needs to become A class.
