8 to 0 free kicks in one quarter is simply not possible. No matter how badly a team plays , the opposition will infringe at some time. This is a farce!!

maybe bacause we are second to the ball and often undersized in the contest and genrally not as good as the comp we tend to break the rules a bit more often ?? we get the bad rub and we notice it cause its our team but the fact is most teams get the bad rub from time to time Look at Port Adelaide. ...

Just right-click the picture/photo and e-mail it to yourself.

Watters inherited an ageing unbalanced team, with little depth. If he is to turn this club around, he will have to step on toes and will make very unpopular moves. One of the most unpopular moves he will make, will be dropping some of the entrenched veterans who have played well for years, but didn...

Yes, we did get less free kicks and only one in the forward 50. A lot were missed on both sides, although we certainly got the rough end of the pineapple, but this happens all the time and does not necessarily lose you the game. However, one thing is for sure, if the game hangs in the balance with o...

Are you talking to me?

No - just find the signature I'm referring to.

Cant go along with a hot pre season being our problem. My thoughts are if you practice in hot weather you acclimatise. Why dont sides want to play Brisbane in that time in late April? Because by then you arent used to the hot weather. That is absolute nonsense. An AFL player runs about 13-15 km per...

I don't see why we wouldn't give him grace on this one. Wasn't every preseason game 35ish this year? He isn't typically an excuse maker IMO, so I see no reason to doubt him yet. We never seem to take the saints side anymore even when it's probably justified. I understand the frustration but spin do...

All supporters are fickle, some clubs including us, just can't afford our supporters to be that way. the AFL has never been so generous to the battling clubs since I've been following footy. If they have, I'd love for someone to point out when? Our deal at Etihad stinks. We all agree on that. Why th...

Well you obviously haven't read my post correctly. I will always renew my membership (as I did for the last 17 years). This is more than ...

Back in grim old days of the past, i saw our club go thorugh so many 5 year plans its not funny, SOS appeals ad infinitum people just need to understand this simple absolute fact without the AFL and its administration, it would not be about standing up to the AFL as you put it, we would have been k...

. And why wouldnt you go to games because we arent a big club? it makes no sense. That sounds more like you are pissed off with our club. Believe me, the Hawks got a much bigger pay-out than the Saints. I'm not pissed off with the club, more with the AFL. I grew up in Europe with a very strong socc...

The Hawks got bigger because they got an extremely lucrative compensation when they were forced from Waverley. Unlike the Saints, as with the Etihad deal, got practically nothing compared to the Hawks. To give credit to the Hawks, they used the money wisely. I don’t think the poorer clubs want chari...

They don't like Seaford! That’s rubbish. It doesn’t matter Seaford or Frankston itself. The point is that they want to capture the market down there. From St Kilda down the coast has traditionally been Saints territory, and many in the Frankston area. It might take a while, but Frankston could beco...

Loved it. Thought it was a brilliant idea to hold the Family Day on the Frankston foreshore, open to everybody, not just Saints supporters. Good marketing ..... and they had the Hare Krishna side show!! Hope they all signed up as members. So it wasn't at Frangga oval? Nope - Frangger's foreshore.

I was under the impression that the club couldn't match the offers made by Sydney but not the case,he told me The Saints had the money and also that Collingwood had offered a massive sum for him. millions. Not too happy about that. Did anyone else know this ? Strange Ken Sheldon should say this. A ...

Just heard that channel 7 will air another Saints controversy on 7 News tonight. Didn't say what it was. Surely it's not the "fat" joke still! And for f's sake it can't be something new!!! Anybody heard anything?

Several times as we were about to get in front inexplicable decisions were played which hadn't been played all night. Dempster head over the ball was collected heavily and the play went on but then when Kosi marked they overturned the decision because he used his strength same with Goddard. They ju...

was less confident going into the port game . Aside from the genuinely one-sided umpiring that game, ..... Well yes, Port Adelaide - with five 50s against us, it's almost impossible to win - after all we were only 5 points down. I'm reasonably confident, but don't forget, the Bulldogs were always t...
