for me the highlight was the team finally winning in perth for bangers 350 it sparked that glimmer of hope for the year to be sucessful for us .
the lowlight would have to be when BJ went down as soon as he hit the turf with his fists i knew it was gunna be bad , he had started the year in great form and even when we were losing he was playing well and i had high hopes for him to be AA sadly i have the same feeling bout Lenny last year b4 he did his knee so maybe this year ill hold high hopes for jeff farmer to make AA

Highlight - I can't go past Harvs 350th, I really can't. But to give a highlight in which I was present, then it would be Gehrig's final match against Richmond.
Lowlight - Watching BJ do his knee at Telstra Dome and slamming his fist into the turf.
In terms of individual players, Sam Gilbert's development was the highlight. Continued development of Gram into one of our top players was a close 2nd.
yep!
i was at harveys 350th, and the flight back was awesome because virgin blue had tv's in the back of the seat infront of you. so guess what was on fox sports1....the replay! best flight ever!
im still crying over that collingwood lose! it was just a cr@p effort to be that far infront in the last quarter, in the pooring rain and lose it! if it was another team i would of got over it by about a month, but it wasnt, it was the dirty scums!

I think the last two seasons are all lowlight with no real sense of improvement. Sorry to be a grump but I think after 2004, I expected changes to be made to help us take the next step and nothing really happened and by 06 season the whole thing looked stale and predictable. This season was not smooth sailing following the GT sacking after 06 and all the blown up media crap surrounding RB and GT. RL clearly worked under unnecessary pressure with all the background off-field bulldust and although got improvments out of some players, a few stood still or went backwards. I feel like we have been treading water since 2004 and I need to see a real spark in 2008.
Highlight
- like everyone else Harves 350th
- Joey and Fiora
- Seeing Lenny and Goose back after nasty injuries.
Lowlight
- Losing to Collingwood (not that I took that defeat that hard because I was in hospital going into labour )
- Bj's Knee
- Draw against the doggies
- getting smashed by geelong
- missing the finals
In Ross Get lost!
I am excited to stay at St Kilda and this is a great result for the Club and all our fans. I’m proud to be part of the Saints and am pleased to be playing football with the Clubâ€

High point would have to be the win against Adelaide, good gutsy comeback for the team.
Low point was loosing to Sydney in Sydney. It felt like a long flight home, but it was worth it! And cos I saw the players at Sydney airport it made my weekend alot better!
