The UPSIDE of this is then hopefully that Ball will have some good chance of recapturing past form. I think there is even more upside than you say! After all of this chugging along in first gear, trying to get EVERYTHING out of his game to make an effort, having the reigns released would be an unle...

Can play emergencies with "injury" notice. See Gram and X. with the flu earlier in the year. IMO name Brooks, Allen, Armitage as Emergencies. Also, When did Casey Scorpions reserves play? If it was the day before the seniors, perhaps Sweeney was earmarked to play for us, given that he was ...

Hey I just finished my first draft of my english speech on ^^^ WALL OF TEXT Seriously, shorter sentences, and break up your paragraphs. Not meaning to sound nasty, but teachers hate that kind of stuff. if you structure your essay nicely that's 90% of the marks i reckon. Edit: Obviously I failed at ...

Wrong kind of "OMG" i'm afraid.

I might still buy it, some good action shots there.

Scary as it sounds, This year feels a hell of a lot like 1998.

You mean you don't think it's possible to beat Richmond by 400 points?

That's only 16 goals per quarter, or roughly one every two minutes - if we keep them scoreless.

If we have to cycle 3 rookies at the end of this year, I would promote Attard, put him on the LTI list, and have an elevated rookie for 2008. It shows faith in JA's recovery, allows us to keep an extra rookie, and generally be a happy family down at moorabbin.

No. I'll go out friday night and pretend footy doesnt exist until saturday arvo.

Not only does he play the one song, he only plays the one section of it. I guess it doesn't matter if everyone is just walking past.

That blog is a load of s***, they attempt to show someones post on a yahoo/7 messageboard, which is less moderated than even saintsational, and pass it off as "Being reported by channel 7". Sensationalist crap at best, at worst... human scum. Good to see the so called reported names though.

plenty of 'illegal acts' that warrant free kicks NOT suspensions. How many result in pretty extreme facial injuries though? Hmmm,...Kosi, fractured skull...no report....Ball,.....brain damage ...no report.......I guess they're not facial injuries ? :? So you disagree with the baker suspension, or t...

"Rookie" in its meaning in many other sports, as a first year player.

Will the announcement we have been dreading (for the past couple of seasons) finally be made over the course of the following week? Is this mere speculation (for want of something to start up a thread to get a debate going), or do you know something - even 1% of something? This is a discussion foru...

This thread sucks.

Saints are the AFL for me, and if we were to move/merge/whatever i'd be exclusively following the storm and victory.

Basically if Collingwood lose, they play against the Crows again the following week, at the MCG.

If adelaide win, sydney have to lose, and we need to beat richmond by about 500 points.

Was I wrong?

Both have an O in their first name.

Because we have quite a few big talls pushing through for selection (Watts, Brooks, Allen) - Putting Kosi back and Roo on the ball/wing might just get our overall efficiency up.

Some forums with relatively big backing should take on the AFL on matters such as this. It's not a news reporting situation and shouldn't be treated as so. Basically the AFL flexes their muscle and forums cave. The only difference between this and a chat in a bar between mates is that it is recorded...

Haven't we learnt our lesson over the past three years? You don't use draft picks on recycled GOP's who get cut three years later. Draft the kids or fail as a club. This. Don't trade for GOP's, unless it's in a birss/gardiner style trade like last year where we gave up basically nothing for 2 playe...

I don't think Joe Bloggs of saintsational.com counts as a "media agency"

You guys have to be kidding me.

A liability if anything. Good turnaround though, testament to his determination.
