Any news out there on which game we will get as compensation for the Wellington game versus Brisbane? I'm actually considering heading over there this year anyway to make a long weekend of it and do a bit of sightseeing. Although I wouldn't mind going to see us play Hawthorn at the G in one of our r...

So will we still be trudging around the hills of Boulder Colorado in four weeks time?

I support the club in making this move now, prior to training beginning next week, but I worry that we don't have a ready made replacement for Watters as coach. Someone suggested Robert Harvey on SEN, but now is not the time for him to debut as the main man, we need an experienced hand at the helm t...

Hayes for mine, why have so many overlooked our perennial champ?

I can see why they didn't give Watters a contract extension. Minimum performance expectation should be 4 wins from the first 9, and possibly 5. IMO we really should be 5-5 after 10 and if we're not (barring catastrophic injury) then SW will have had his time. As harsh as that sounds. First 10 round...

Thanks for the heads up, since we have to play a different team each year, I think we need to play teams that we can compete against each year, which means that we need to avoid playing against top 4 teams for the next couple of years to maintain interest in the games. Therefore, the lions will suit...

No doubt Plympton has some great financial nous, given his long term ass our pres back in the 90s, but his footy nous is almost non-existent, given his appointment of Timmy Watson as our new messiah in 2000!

I think the idea of an annual game in Wellington on ANZAC Day is a great initiative by our club, but dare I say it, we need to take a lead from the pies and bombers by playing the same team each year in order to build up the rivalry and tradition. Although we have been drawn to play different inters...

Do Frankston have a clash strip to wear when they play us at Moorabbin?

Red, white and black DEFINITELY clashes with red, white and black!

I got 82% off the top of my head, but never would have guessed that Rhys Stanley was first in one-percenters for us in my wildest dreams!

I can't believe older sainters have missed one of our B & F winners from the lean years during the early 80s, Peter Kiel!

Now we know why CJ always had the wood on Brent "Boomer" Harvey.

He was following him around with a cigarette lighter in his pocket!

It's member's day, so I would expect 32, 630 adoring saints fans to turn up for this game.

Unfortunately, I have to work and will therefore be unable to attend this epic contest, so make it 32, 629!

I guess even though we're at home, we'll still go in as underdogs. If we're any chance to win this one, the question is how do we go about stopping the son of the murderer? Considering we'll most likely have no hope against RL's Dockers in the final round, I guess it will be our final chance to not...

If he is fit, he should be given one game to reach 200. We have a chance of beating GC but not Freo, so I would make it against GC. It's remarkable how these milestone games can lift the team. More intriguing than when Kosi will play (probably against Freo) is where he will play, perhaps as a sub i...

Positives from last night's thrashing, Casey Tataungi's (spelling?) family will be a little better off financially than they were after his life-changing accident, which puts footy firmly into perspective!

oops, I left out Mini and Eddy too!

given that he was also coaching Freo at that stage too!

I wonder who Ross Lyon will be announcing as retirements for us after the game ala Bakes and Gardy re round 23 2011?

Just saying look how the player that went with our old pick turned out is naive. We might have gone in a completely different direction to everyone else. Membery stayed around until the TDL 46 but who would have known that. If we loved his game we had several previous chances of getting him. Pelche...

I am looking forward to cheering Kosi, Blakey and maybe even Lenny and Milney off after our final game against Freo and I am also looking forward to our former coach's acknowledgement of their services to him, either on the field or in his arrogant, mumbling, disinterested, world weary press confere...

Geelong and Collingwood were both prepared to keep filtering in the occasional youngster and Geelong didn't need to bottom out like the filth in 05 and 06 to get top quality youngsters. Great coaches have an eye on the present and the future and that is why Ross Lyon will never be a great coach, unl...

Roberton has had a good year, but I reckon he had a poor game today and I've noticed last couple of games he's struggled to beat his opponent. Not sure he knows how to tackle properly. Either he needs some work on the track or cannot see these sorts of efforts see him retain his spot in the 2017 si...

I like your optimism, DC. Love the username as well. It has also occurred to me many time since GF II 2010 that we could perhaps take a leaf out of the filth's book. However, at this stage, it seems we have quite an uphill climb to get there within that same timeframe they got there. Gotta say thou...
