The eveningup of the free kick count also had an effect. I would need to watch it again to decide whether it was deliberate on the umpires part.

Only a concerted complaint by us and other clubs that have to suffer this filthy (typically rotten Swines tactic) will bring it to an end. Unless of course the AFL maintains its favour of the Roos cult.
Did they not let him off the hook recently over the "dont score a goal" matter?

I like the reports from you guys about the good form of Goddard and the absence of strapping.

I thought he was to start off in the Twos.
Must be 100% fit

Thank you Spinner.
It is pleasing to note on this thread that we are not alone.

As usual, not 100% perfect but the breaks were pretty even I thought.

It will be hard on hamstrings and maybe G-strings.

Sheahan has always and always will be a complete fraud.
He has always worshipped Carey.
The joke on Sheahan is that there are about a dozen names in that full list who he would never have seen play!

No other player could ever remind me of Frankie. That's my tribute to him.

Lucas was the one player I feared all week and he started fairly well but lost it with poor kicking later.

Harvs had a bad one, and that is no criticism of the champ. Joey had a brilliant start but seemed quiet from then. Jones pace will be a bonus. The run will do Lenny good. I like our new ruck set up. It will improve. Overall I was left wondering how we won it with that forward line we had, especially...

Barassi turned his back on certain Melbourne clubs years ago, probably from the time he moved to Sin City. This should get him a pat on the back from Dimwit.

Pretty good overall.
Thought there was a bit too much of Roo in the early part.
Enjoyed the former years and Nicky but they left out the shot of him bare-chesting the Filth in front of their stand.

Are we hiding King from his former mates or is he injured?
Ablett a notable exclusion.

Fast enough--- at this stage.

I struggled to distinguish the difference at times.
This racket of clash gear has gone to a second stage of craziness. The bottom line is the Mighty $$$$.
Glad to see our boys traditional strip.

It sems to me that so far this season Saints are flying a bit below the radar in terms of media coverage (not that media matters much).
It gives me a good gut feeling along with the strengthened list and the plans to lessen the injury toll.
I see several others share my view.

This chatter has tempted me to take my 1992 edition from the shelf and read snippets. The book is almost bursting with many news cuttings and other printed collectibles. I opened at page 108 describing the great 1939 Semi-final win against the powerful Richmond team. I was there that day and have a ...

Thanks old timers!

I thought it was a fantastic interview. Perhaps a little bit light on the Stk history. Foxy's character came through strongly.
Did anybody get a copy of it either on tape or disc?

And what ever happened to Diana Dors ??.....

Heart warming; refreshing- exhilarating.
Best I've seen from you for a long time.

I am fazed by all the repeats on the need (?) for a so-called clash strip. For goodness sake let's get off the interminable $$$ band wagon!

Highest praise from me to Brayshaw and his group for telling Dimwitriou where to go, and also for going back to the traditional name of the club.
I have always admired North for its spirit and I just hope it can revive after this shake-up.
