Great post one eyed sainter! I know what you mean about last year not feeling real - I reckon it's because of the 40-year drought. I have a much calmer confidence in the boys' attitudes and determination this year. I must admit to having a bit of fun with omens, but seriously what you say is true - ...

No sense of humour on their part Hurricane! Stick with us!

He should not be even allowed in!! Just consider the position the Club would be in if something did happen to him.

Love the photo of your place avid!!!!! My Dad has had a similar flag since 1966, and last year he hung it up, securing it by putting some bricks on it along the roof line of the house. Would you believe it, towards the end of the last quarter one of the bricks fell down off the roof, onto the bonnet...

Great post saint patrick. I feel very calm and confident after reading your well-reasoned post. Thanks!

What a fabulous post Raven - thank you for that. All other players on the ground on Sat will have to excel to beat Lenny for the Norm Smith! You get the feeling that years down the track he will still be at the Club in some leading capacity - he is a real gent for sure!!!

Is anyone else standing in M10? I am quite nervous about it, never having stood for a match before (I am "grandma" age!). I just hope it isn't a filth area!

I'll even volunteer to DO the sewing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That really is the best omen Pwoit!!!!
I remember bawling my eyes out for days over Carl's suspension. I just love the memories of his playing days. I notice that he and his wife are one of the first to post a notice in the Herals Sun following the passing of Jack Barker.

That is such a wonderful thing to do 3rdGS. You have inspired me to do the same at my grandfather's grave at New Cheltenham Cemetery. I will be wearing the club pin that he wore (on his SUIT in those days!) at the 1966 GF. Let's pray that it brings the same success!!! I remember at the 1965 GF my gr...

I would be grabbing it if I were you!!!

What a severe load of garbage all this stuff about alternate strips is!!!! They should never have been introduced in the first place!!

I am also pretty desperate for a ticket for my sister, who couldn't get a ticket. She took out country membership because she was a missionary with the Salvos in PNG and didn't think she would be back, but the Salvos have now put her back in Aust. As a country member she couldn't register. ANY ticke...

Didn't make the connection with the score - that's a great omen!!!!!

Ainslie yesterday defeated Eastlake to win the ACTAFL Premiership this year. Ainslie wear red white and black, in fact their very first jumpers were donated to them by St Kilda!!!!!
Good omen!!!

One Saint Supporter rang SEN this morning @ 5:45 am & had this interesting stat. a) Last time when we won the flag (1966) there was a federal election & Labour won. b) Last time Victoria had floods were in 1966 c) Saints have played 6 times in a G.F. & the only time we won was an even y...

You are definitely a favourite son now Brett - I love watching you!!

Nice thread, will upload a picture tomorrow.... Neighbour is a Geelong supporter, that will go down well :wink: Edit: Here we go, stage one complete :D http://i52.tinypic.com/34dpqpg.jpg That looks great SainterK - very classy indeed!!!! You should give "House & Garden" a call - they ...

Yep, I agree. Good on you barks4eva! The clash strip is a shocker. We're not just looking at seeing the boys out there on the day - we will be looking at all those premiership winning posters everywhere for years to come!

Geez Maxstar 22, what are you doing putting up LAST YEAR'S clappers!!!! They didn't do us any good last year!!!!! I must say, your house IS cool though!! I will be wearing red white & black all week too, and I know of a certain young constable who is going to wear his same Saints socks every day...

Such a shame the dear old fellow could not have hung on for another week, but atleast Trevor will be able to sit with his Dad and watch the boys bring home the Flag!!

Thanks for finding and sharing that - I was sorry when he left us.

Where did that photo come from??????

I am feeling more nervous about getting tickets than anything!
Even if the Dogs do get ahead of us early, we finish stronger. Full confidence in the boys!
