I think bigfooty's already covered every possible innuendo and speculation.

What a bloody shock though. I feel for his family, not sure if he had kids but if so then they're the ones that we should all feel for.

It was just another pitiful excuse to say goodbye to James Hird. Will the hero worship never end? It was his 2397631586345th token farewell! He'll probably do a Voss and crawl up the dias next year as well. Apprarently Hirdy has kids! You're kidding, you'd never know it would you? If only Hirdy wou...

Yeah but people were saying that about Barry Mitchell at Carlton and Mark Harvey when he was at Essendon.

Things change.

Also can't remember much. But do remember before going to bed saying to my brother "Tomorrow could be the greatest day of our lives." Rest is a blur, but I'll never forget afterwards walking to the station in tears and just outside Punt Rd oval a bloke in Adelaide face paint comes straight...

And Sarita Stella has soared a few spots in my own list.

Got to love the tasteful chest shake!

"But we won't give up our first-pick choice and we won't give up our No. 1 players, but we would like to have him in the team because he is a great player and he deserves to be with the greatest club." Now tell me Richard, what part of finishing in the bottom two for five of the last six ...

i agree that the conspiracy theorists are way off the mark the blame, blame, blame, poor little sainters victim line has been popular for way too long Could not agree more. It's completely inconceivable and unbelievably immature to keep sprouting the theory that everyone's out to get us. Some peopl...

Earl Spalding played Sheffield Shield cricket for Western Australia, hard as that is to imagine.

True that, but then again I've always maintained that if the Saints won a flag, we'd be guaranteed to finish no higher than 13th the following year.

Anyone else think Lloyd tries a bit too hard to look and sound like a leader.

Doesn't help that he's not the most intelligent or interesting poppett out there.

OK, we'll just call them the Magpies from now on.

The club can still retain rookies over for the next year so I'm sure your son is safe at the club, Mrs Van Rheenan.

Has Rob Harvey said yet whether he will go on for 2008?
If so, that makes six gone already and I doubt we'd delist more than that.

I'd be open to the idea of Dal and pick 9. Maybe shore us up with a 2nd or 3rd round pick to even it up a bit. But yeah, like a few said - unlikely to happen and not fair to Dal Santo who while not quite in Judd's class is still a fantastic player and will continue to be so for many years. As for Ju...

Quote: *stand-in captain Dean Morrison missed half the season with an ingrown hair on his backside that became infected. I bet he was proud as punch that it got a mention in a major metropolitan newspaper. I'm tipping he might have copped just a few baggings from mates, workmates, family etc about ...

I think we'd all have noticed one name missing from that top 10.
Surely Sam Gilbert had a better year than Martin Clarke or Tom Williams.

Given the choice between having no players in the AA team and getting 14 straight games in Melbourne, I know what I'd pick.

And more environmentally friendly.

The real story should have been on that nameless moron who threw a billiard ball full pelt into the crowd.

Could have literally killed someone, but everyone focuses on the fact Gehrig pushed someone.

I'd imagine they wouldn't be too hard to smuggle in if you really wanted to.

I heard a couple of weeks ago that it was definitely going to happen. I mean there have always been rumours that FG was going to retire, but this came from a pretty good source. Which proved correct. I didn't post it here because I'd get shouted down for gossiping. Some people here think we should o...

good question.

i had him on myspace, he had 500 or so ppl on it and he had accepted me as a friend and then he deleted me, i think his head is too big Oh well we should just delist him because of that.

And we need a ruck/forward right now more than we need a midfielder. We had the right idea, just didn't get the player we were hoping for.

Hamish McIntosh went to the Kangaroos two picks later.
