Re: Lets Be Honest! Its the coaching.
We also looked very tired last night in the last quarter. After a good first 3 quarters, you can expect that of Monty, Dal and Lenny, but there is clearly a maturity/fitness issue with our young guys. I note that SW has been quoted post-match as saying that a "good shot" (or words to that...

Re: Heading down to Geelong next week?
It being a night game has proven sufficient disincentive for me to make the long trip down the freeway.
Can anybody tell me when we last beat Geelong at Kardinia Park?

Re: How much stronger would we be if
As a player I really admired, I have often considered the "should we have kept him" question re Goose. I think he has to date clocked up almost 50 games for the Lions in about 3.5 seasons - not a fixture in the team but still useful. Overall, while I would still like to have him around I c...

Re: Saints rule Milne out of game against Melbourne
From what I hear July 5th is a committal where a judge decides if there is enough evidence to take the matter to court. If the judge rules in Milnes favour well he has missed two to three games and can be re-instated. If the judge rules the case goes to court, well sorry to say but thats the end fo...

The "thumbs up" epidemic
Did anybody else notice the proliferation of players (say that 3 times fast) - our's that is - giving each other the thumbs up sign against GWS? After a good pass, a good attempted pass, etc. For a moment I started thinking I was watching an A-League game. I don't have a particular problem with it, ...

Re: Sliding rule
Taking the controversially subjective issue of "courage" out of it for the moment, my problem with the rule is that IMHO it will often run counter to the natural instinct to be the first to possess the ball. Sometimes getting to it first will mean diving towards it before your opponent can...

Re: Share your bizarre/offbeat Saints moments.
One of the rare fond memories I have of Kardinia Park relates to a ressies game I was watching that featured Andrew Wills playing for Geeeee-long and our own Mick Dwyer. The ball went out of bounds right near where I was standing on the (at that stage) sparsely filled terraces and Wills and Mick wer...

I think the prize is $40K - which, if there are only 300, obviously means that "only" around $20K profit goes to the trip (I think there are some small consolation prizes too).
