Looks like they have taken off the black outline around the red. Nick Dal Santo on the right http://www.saints.com.au/portals/58/shop.html Hope you're wrong! A weak looking jumper. http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd359/brijgiglia/2012clashstk.jpg I think it actually looks quite good in the photo...

Sounds great on the interview. Values the opportunity and confident he will put everything into it. Knows where he is at and will be a great team player. Awesome replacement for Dawson who will not need as much protection. Good choice. I understand the selection but u do wonder if this guy was so g...

they didn't have to have a poll Well, assuming I understand the way you're saying it, of course not - but if Mero's story is true, it means the board went out of their way to say to the fans, "Hey, we want to invite you to have a say in the operations and the image of the club", either kn...

Did the St Kilda board rig a clash jumper poll in 2007?

Apologies for another clash jumper thread, but I thought this warranted one of its own. I put up a post on this at Red, White and Black, but I thought a few people on here would be interested to know about this and discuss it. Some of you here will be familiar with the fantastic footyjumpers.com , w...

I still can't believe how close the club was to having that clash design as a premiership jumper. I've wondered what would have happened had we have won the '97 Grand Final - surely the club wouldn't have ditched the cross design had it been what we won a premiership in. It may have been modernised,...

New clash design for 2012?

Perhaps a by the by issue to many considering what's gone on over the past year/138 years at the club... But Saints Locker has the 2012 home jumper listed for sale, and whilst it's technically a 2011 image of Roo modelling it, it looks like the club is sticking with the black collar and cuffs. https...

OK Still seems odd. Can;t disposal be worked on to get to an acceptable level? Obviously not. Clint Jones and Daniels made careers out of doing something other than kick. Was his kicking as bad as Clint Jones? Or only as bad as Gram? Smith kicked much better than Jones but Jones gets the ball and h...

By putting him in for surgery during the season so he could be 100% for the beginning of pre-season certainly indicated he was in the club's plans for the future.

Was Brian Sierakowski from WA or did he just finish his career there?

Matthew Carr was from WA (part of the 1998-2000 downward spiral with Mitchell).

Great post Doc. I've been on the Tommy bandwagon since the start. I'm hoping MC is correct in what he's been saying because I'd love to keep Tommy at the Saints - he's had two years in the system and as you say, he's improved immensely. I remember his first kick in the 2010 Intra-Club match at Moora...

As far as I know (again, my "good source" :?), no one has the job yet. Scott Watters might be a good chance - he obviously has some pretty decent credentials - but the club has had basically since the public found out about Ross's departure to mobilise on this issue, i.e. not much time at ...

Already looking forward to it - although usually it's in the lead-up to the intra-club match (i.e. early Feb) and by then the club will well and truly have a new coach and different-look playing list. Who knows - we might have made some royal stuff-ups in trade week again, etc....but the feel around...

I dare say they were issued largely because Sports Delivered for no particular reason stopped making "proper" (i.e. one-and-a-half-hour productions, although last year's was a decent hour) productions for clubs that weren't premiers from 2009 onwards (the Saints also inexplicably missed ou...

I hope the board are bullish in looking for the next coach. As bullish as Melbourne were in trying to get Ross and Clarkson, as bullish as GWS and Gold Coast have been with getting players from other clubs. St Kilda needs to stop being so apologetic and so timid. I wrote recently on my site that the...

Anyone got confirmation on this at all? A "media announcement" might simply be a press release as opposed to a press conference.
