Really hope Hickey plays a blinder!

Typical journo - starts off with a strong statement, then intellectualizes and has an each-way bet.

As Sir Les Patterson observed: Journo - a drunk, a failed novelist.

OK, I'm wrong about Queanbeyan. As a reward, I will let it go this time, more to quell sniping on this forum. Anyway, so as not offend the separatists: I hope that Sydney don't eventually try to lure him back out of footy-mad Victoria and considerably closer to his hometown in a few years. It was m...

Is that the closest we'll get to a mea culpa, BM? :wink: Harves Man, Gringo and Armoo; cheers, you guys. Hopefully saynta reported me, not Harves Man by mistake! Talk about having a bad day... Sorry mate i was. Having a bad day that is. My mother in law had a bad fall today and was taken to hospita...

NSW, ACT, whatever. Do you just post for the sake of it. If so you should give it a rest for awhile as a lot of your posts reveal you haven't a clue. About geography, footy or history. That is completely untrue, unnecessary and attacking the man, whilst adding absolutely nothing to this forum. True...

Yeah, Beastin' Billy - brilliant new nickname!

Sorry to hear that The Goose is cooked. He was shaping up as an A grader for us. Then was just a shadow of his former self after that horrendous injury. Pretty sure I read that his grandfather played for us? Goodluck Matt. Goose was an A grader before he got injured. Absolute gun. As good as Gilbo ...

Dean Rice was an exciting player to watch, as he stormed down the field. Very dangerous in front of goal too. Was very sad when he left for that lot. In the early days, when he was on the other side of the oval, I used to get him confused with "Scratcher Neal" - it was a long way away, tho...

Ever since Jack Steven started playing piano with his toes, you could just tell he was going to be something special.

Welcome back, Sainter K - I missed your contributions.

STEVEN! Thanks for the 50m peno, you monochrome monkeys! Come on Saints fans at the ground, make some noise! Someone wake up the cheer squad! "Monochrome Monkeys" - sheer genius, Austin - take a bow! Warm day here in Hampshire. I thank you. Bit chilly across the channel. Is it late in Aus...

"Monochrome Monkeys" - sheer genius, Austin - take a bow! Warm day here in Hampshire.

Interesting point, Con and you are almost certainly right about both Chips and Roo. When they can fix what we see now as serious knee injuries, there will be good times!

Yes, good idea - also their colours are very similar to ours. Funny day in Hampshire - warm and sunny one minute, then chilly and rainy the next. A bit like living in Melbourne.

IMHO, I think we should trade Armo and Joey. My feeling is that one of the top 4 sides would take him, possibly Freo or even Hawthorn. What pick they would give us I have no idea. With Armo I reckon a lot of sides would be interested. I believe he is originally from Queensland so he would be a perf...

Sometimes he tries to finesse it a bit too much, instead of doing the first option. However he is a creative player which provides an X factor for our side. Only round 2 so he is building, pretty soon he will give someone a Terry Towelling. Magnificent work, Busso Mick! Agree with your comment too....

Saad re-Trent-Denis-Lane-signs. Hyphen inserted.

Just saw this clip on the AFL site with Garry Lyon nominating each team's barometer, meaning when he plays well, the team generally wins. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-03-18/lewis-is-hawks-barometer-lyon He nominated Milney for the Saints and you can't dispute that when Milney plays well, and tha...

"added Beaunus" - sheer genius, Satchmo - take the rest of the day off!

Maister Master, 'coz he's been able to "Take these broken wings and learn to fly again". Oh no sorry, that was Mister Mister.

Yes, same old problem for years - not being able to hear the questions. The solution is simple - provide a boom microphone.

what do him and Nathan Burke have in common? Got unluckily hit by G Ablett.[/quote] Reg: the G. Ablett hit on Burkey in a classic finals encounter from the 90s - It was extremely unlucky for Burkey and St.Kilda but I thought it was no accident on Ablett's part. From memory Burkey was chasing the gr...
