Updated article here. Some good quotes from Nick.

Riewoldt a Saint until end of 2013

WHEN the star of an undefeated team signs a four-year deal, the possibility of premierships is often the main carrot being dangled...

Very much a Doggies supporter.

X marks top spot By Luke Holmesby 1:17 PM Fri 15 May, 2009 ANDREW McQualter is not the type to showboat. So it took more than a few people by surprise on Monday night when the St Kilda utility followed a goal by turning to the cameras and crossing his arms in an uncharacteristic flashy celebration. ...

However I ask the question, do these former players love the club more than you or I ? Of course they don't!!!! If they did they'd never think of leaving the place. The supporters come first in my books,the premiership is about us and the current squad...dare I say it,but F*** Harves :P ! Differenc...

Cain Ackland, Michael Rix, Mark McGough and Phil Raymond were all drafted within one or two years of each other. Don't know if this helped JB's reputation.

We were playing Fremantle at Carlton. Buggered if I know why. But the Blues were headed towards a wooden spoon so there was a bit of an unofficial call to arms (possibly by this very website) for Saints fans to bring wooden spoons to the game and leave them at the ground. One journalist with a St Ki...

The Brad Howard draft pick (second round, 2006) was one that had a lot of people here up in arms.

I don't think too many would have changed their tune just yet.

i called SEN the other day and told robbo that Chris Judd is over-rated and that i wouldn't have him at STK. robbo goes what! i know you're entitled to your opinion .. but that's just stupid! are you telling me that you wouldn't have chris judd at STK? i said yes that is what i am saying robbo. I'd...

Stephen Baker, suspended in 2004, and Matt Hudghton, injured this season... Any relation to Steven Baker and Max Hudghton? Easily forgivable though, Patrick. One is a best and fairest winner and the other is one of the best full-backs of the last ten years so it's not as if their first names would ...

I was there and I was 13 years old. I remember thinking it was hilarious at the time. On thinking back to what happened with the posts and the bonfires, it was actually closer to a riot (the dangerous meaning of riot, not 'haha that was a riot' ). Drew some parallels with English soccer hooliganism....

I was thinking about this this morning for some reason. I remember they had both Hamill and Akermanis on the Footy Show the week after. They asked Aker for his side of it and he got two whingeing words out before a violinist walked out on to the stage. I was p1ssing myself laughing then Sammy gives ...

They are both red, white and black. Do I win?

Think of the positives.

All that means is that there are fewer times where you have to listen to Robert Walls or David Schwarz commentate on our matches.

Mc Evoys big chance to come in as second ruck and get some touches IMO, A big job against Hudson and Minson I know, but it will be good for him. Much rather see him come in as a ruckman than a forward. Also means that both rucks can kick a goal. Big job against Hudson, but Minson I'm not so sure ab...

Read that article closely though. It's not actually based on anything more than the writer's assumption.

He's chucked in a few stats to show that Gilbert's played well this year.

This is weird. Ross played his last game in round 2 1995 for the Bears. He must have been injured rather than dropped because he got a lot of the ball and got a Brownlow vote. Brisbane brought in a first gamer to replace him. His name was Steven Lawrence But more importantly, how many degrees from ...

Welcome to another saint, even if they are from NSW :D The NSW connection doesn't bother me. The fact St George is one of many dirty, stinking, thieving, bottom-feeding @rsehole banks is something that I have trouble accepting. The Salvo's won't accept donations from gambling money. We can't afford...

Well if the AFL hadn't embraced it as a 'magoos', 'ressies' or 'twos' competition ten years ago then the VFL would be well and truly dead by now.

Interesting quote:

“At the time it was a fantastic honour and something I’ve learned from. In hindsight I might not have been ready for it back then. I would say there were other factors as well. I was struggling a bit with injury but I wouldn’t say it is as cut and dry as that,â€

Wouln't have killed him to smile a little bit. He did look like a bit of a serious head.

That said, I thought he generally did well.

Is he Ross' uncle or did they simply get the name wrong (Richard as one of his sons)?

Tyson Goldsack was one.

I don't put too much stock in what Robert Walls says, whether it's positive or negative.

He's not overly insightful, just provocative and that's why he gets so many media gigs.

Listening to James Hird on the couch by comparison just shows how little Walls has to offer.
