sorry not sure how to do the link so maybe some else can post it to this thread

saints.com.au has new video of training up
the big roo looks pretty sharp
no substance to the rumours by the look of it...

Is it just me or has the Saints Central TV guys been a little more active of late ?

clearly a slow start to the day, eh ?

I'm just happy they've started adding articles
Has been a bit slow over the break - which is to be expected I s'pose - but I want updates to fill in the gaps

I keep coming back here to read the great training reports from our intrepid reporters...

sorry to pick you up but... the Club announced JW early Dec - 12 weeks puts product into Saints first week March Chinese NY is a major issue in manufacturing. Most factories take 2 weeks off, some of the better halfs factories take 4 weeks off ! Factor that in - even a 2 week delay - and we have nud...

chook - not sure how much clothing manufacturing you've been involved with... The better half works in the rag trade - in fact she manages production. The average production time for clothing is 12 weeks out of China You're probably referring to Premiers tees or those sorts of things which are out i...

Matt Schmidt is the new media guy.

Very good operator.

I was at the Club to pick up a last minute Xmas pressie from the shop for my nephew. It seems we passed 18,000 members late this afternoon - the memebrship desk & the shop was abuzz with the news...

Apparently 4,000 memberships sold this week alone !

Merry Christmas everyone !!

Hi all, Has been a long day at the office working on a last minute pitch ANyway I wanted to see what sort of media the sponsorship announcement got so I Googled "Saints JELD-WEN" and checked Australia Bugger me if this didnt come up (Removed link to Collingwood site, Read my response below...

From what I've heard I think they've put Chivers on ice

Hi all,
I read lots - rarely post
I think you will find Jeld-Wen will be the sponsor brand
It is a massive global company - they sponsor the Tour Players Championship on the PGA tour widely regarded as the 5th major by golf fans
If the article is true it is a huge get by the Saints

our game is about reach and frequency how many people can my advertising I reach ? what sort of ppl is my ad reaching ? eg we know the avg AFL goer is male 18-35 but the AFL watcher on TV is more 50/50 male female - so the tv audience for AFL is good. our numbers are compelling given the size - 16 m...

It would be the cumulative TV audience for each of the 22 rounds
I know Friday nights rate over 1.0m viewers
Foxtel games rate in 150-200k or thereabouts
I think we only had 5 games on Fox this year ?

hi again
yes it is fair dinkum - we did discuss it seriously, we even called oztam to confirm the details
we thought it was a risky approach but as I said we didn't know 16 mil watch the saints on tv - that's a big number in our business

Hi all long time reader, rarely a poster I work in a media buying agency We had no idea the Saints property (a) delivered the metrics in the ad and (b) that they were still looking (we assumed they had partners lined up - maybe they do). As a result of the ad we started discussing internally about o...

no legal eagle either
just noting everyone jumping on the Club to do something but what that is it ? I haven't seen anyone but anything logical across the table

The only option once the AFL RUles are exhausted is to abandon those rules and go to the courts. But on what basis ?

So if we all agree that the Club should go further on what basis does the Club take it further ?
What are the appeal avenues ?
None exist under the AFL Rules so what are they ?
Seems to be a lot of baying for blood but not a lot of real world thinking on how it gets done
