Never been so proud to be a Sainter. I just love the Saints to the bottom of my soul. And to all the Saintsationalists who are up early in the morning I repeat- I have never been so proud to be a Sainter! The future all of a sudden seems quite optimistic Totally agree tony. That story makes it a lo...

defacto wrote:f***! he's off to adelaide. deal has been done.

what was the final deal - 37?

If he wants to go anyway, then I can live with pick 37, though I'm sure the club will be trying for better. He may have been a first round pick, bit he hasn't showed much in his limited chances and hasn't been able to force his way in. Much as I hate losing players, he does seem to be one we can liv...

Thanks for posting the free agency and veterans rules guys. Its good to see that the veterans rule may help us going forward. Free agency is going to be a challenge for all clubs. Thanks for posting the rules so that we can see it is not as simple as they can just walk away which is what I had thoug...

Wow - what a read. Sounds like he is in a much better place than this time last year. We can only hope he is back to his best next year, renewed with a new beginning with a new coach, and hopefully his knee gives him less trouble. Glad to hear him being so reflective about his own mistakes, and what...

Ahh, so this was the one Robbo was working on - we knew it had to be a big one. Two big ones in fact -

Tonnes of improvement left in him too by the sounds of things. With the extra coaching provided with an AFL club and the chance to learn from a player like Milne who has one of the best football brains in the league from what we hear, he could really turn out to be a gem. Loving this fella already....

In other talks, Richmond was closer to securing Adelaide ruckman Ivan Maric, with the Crows to receive former first-round draft pick Tom Lynch from St Kilda and the Saints to take the Tigers' pick 37.

Doesn't seem like much for a guy who hasn't had opportunity, though if he wants to go, best to get something. If we can keep Walsh, I'd feel more comfortable with Tom's desire to go. I'd be ok with them swapping him for a second round pick. 37 seems ok considering he wants to go. he's in contract, ...

True but the article is full of quotes from Nick and has a posed pic.

Nice story on new recuit Ahmed Saad

latest article...same old, same old

he must have been reading on here

Interesting it was diagnosed at the start of last years finals Imagine how much pressure he was under, not long back from injury etc, then all this in the family. Then all the other crap in the off season I only heard this late in the season that his sister was unwell... I heard it was cancer - not ...

Seems this is the article Robbo was working on when he didn't do his shift at SEN tonight

succesful is when you win one.....none of them have a medal... I know that...was joking...hence the wink... I agree with you...big difference between the Geelong list and ours, but still possible we can have another tilt next year...everything would need to go right though...especially with injuries.

We have 25 multi grand final players

No one at Geelong is on more than 550k pa and think what guys like Selwood, Bartel, Scarlett and Chapman could be on in the open market. We should take a leaf out of their book. When talking about the Scully deal a few weeks ago, Balme said on SEN he found the figures crazy and that their highest p...

Really surprised at the lack of respect from our supporters for Zac. It's like he has never been able to shake that image of the kid who was left to play on Rocca while goal after goal was kicked all those years ago. His mistakes seem to be highlighted and ridiculed much more than other players. He ...

Pask also says we have 14 uncontracted players. Raph, Farren, Zac, Dawson, Gamble, Lynch. Who else ? Dempster, what about Blake? Peake? Imo, #1 player to re-sign atm is Dempster followed by Peake. Lynch is contracted for next year...confirmed by List manager (Bains??) on SEN tonight. I would think ...

No, you're right, but I am holding my breath with Sen dropping hints that Robbo is working on a reaallly biiig story to be published tomorrow in the Hun. Just as long as it doesn't relate to this football club and hits someone else between the eyes. could be the announcement of our new coach? No I ...

SO we have a bit of pressure. Let's look at the other two clubs that have made GFs since 2009.... GEELONG - lost Ablett and Mumford to GC and Swans for way more money than the Cats could offer = LOST players due to the salary cap. COLLINGWOOD - it is rumoured that Toovey, McCarthy and Dawes may not...

I must say it amazed me how the nervous nellies, doomsayers and others with agendas on here got so sucked in by all the media hyperbole about the imminent demise of the St Kilda Football Club. And now Pelchen gets on the radio and says what the club has basically being saying for some time, that ev...

He's history. Getting the gist of Pelchen it all sounds a lot Better now. A solid new coach and things should be quite different next year but in a good way. It may all turn out better than had Ross stayed. Just my gut feel as at today! that's he way I am seeing, not all doom and gloom that many on...

Loved to hear that...seemed very genuine and he seemed a bit emotional too.

Gardi will be missed.

They were having their dinner.

It's back on again now
