Michael Gardiner, I suspect, will play all of the NAB/Challenge Cup games for match experience and if he gets through those OK, he would be a shoein for round1.

What makes an egotist - some ability I guess. My ego is huge cos I'm - a top athlete a top footballer, a top buisinessman, got plenty of dough a great lover good looking and with all that, I'm a "Sainter" Most egotists , like the great Eddie Everywhere, Greg (the great white fishfinger) No...

Agree with Attard and Bakes initially and would suggest that the new fitness team would in no way rush Goose, BJ, proberbly Lenny and even Harves into the side for round 1, even if it's still 11 weeks away.
Slowly slowly will be the scene.

All their products will eventually be marketed/sold under the JeldWen brand. We are very fortunate to have them on board so lets help them succeed as we succeed. All you builders out there will be familiar with their products and how good they are. Incidently, don't any of you guys whach the V8 Supe...

I have always found your running chart of Membership numbers very interesting as I think it provides an indicator on how we are going to fare on and off the field during the forthcoming season.

Are you going to set it up again for this year?

Appreciate your comments guys, but have a look at my original post again -- I am not changing the Club song, I am merely extending it by two verses to make it more football friendly and Saint supporter friendly.

Our song is the worst of them all only because there is not enough in it and it means nothing, it's not football related.

Thats why i'm saying leave the first verse as is and then have a football flavour for verses two and three - put some meat into it

That's not a bad team sRr - your foward line is the same six I've mentioned elsewhere. I would have Bakes for Dempster and Raf and Blake on the bench instead of Fiona.

I don't beleive it comes over to well at the dome, there is not enough to it. Not a patch on the Dees, which I think goes close to the best of them all.

It seams to me sRr that you love to repeat, repeat threads left right and centre - becomes very boring you know

SrS, why would you repeat what's already been done - is that why your posts are in the multiple thousands.?

In adjusting to the modern era, the theme song should be updated - only the words that is and extend it to three verses - here's my version: Verse 1 Oh when the Saints, Go marching in, Oh when the Saints go marching in, Oh how I want to be with St.Kilda, As the Saints go marching in. Verse 2 We are ...

M.Gardiner will be a major contributor towards the Sainters winning the Flag in 2008 - that's why he is there.

Proberbly waiting for the new gear to arrive from China ! !

My top 10 are, and I'm not biased (much) - 1 - Reiwoldt. 2 - Dal Santo. 3 - Hayes, 4 - S.Fisher, 5 - Harvey (Sir Rob), 6 - Ball 7 - Kosi. 8 - Clarke,X., 9 - Gardiner.M. 10 - Montagna. Apologies to the other 14 or so Saints because they are proberbly worthy of being in the top 10 also. Jonothan Brown...

The Saints have been haunted by injuries in recent times but 39 out of a possible 45 players took part in a time-trial around Princes Park yesterday morning. who are the six missing? attard...[/quote] Those missing the time trial were : Gehrig, Attard, Macguire, Riewoldt, Hayes, Ball, Kosi, Gardine...

I'd be playing Kosi at CHF with Roo on the half forward flank with a roaming licence and the G at FF. The other flanker would be X or Charlie Gardiner with Milne and Schnieder in the pockets. This would give us a very flexible forward half.

Brat, did they only have the time trial?

Who was there, who was not there?

Did Bally do the time trial and, if so, how did he go?

Come on Brat, you are usally terrific with your information - deon't let us all down.

By the way, Happy New Year everyone

Does anyone know when the Age deliveries are likely to start? I paid for it with my membership in early December.

Everton, if we crack 33,000 members for 2008, that will be a Club record. Anyway, I reckon we will go close to 35,000 members in 2008, just wait and see.

The Bombers figure of 23,000 is not as good as it looks because they have an automatic renewal system whereby a high percentage of their 2007 members have their membership renewals automatically processed pre Christmas by the Club therefore boosting the numbers at this time. When memberships close n...

Gardiner trained the same way early in the year, always gives the impression that he is not interested and a bit of a loaner. However, reports coming from the coaches are positive, which is good, and he seems to be working closely with King. I would really like to see King and Gardiner take their ru...

Been asleep for a few days have you Saint Edward - old news - also, didn't your English Teacher teach you about punctuation etc?

Wonder if Gale will continue to deny the discussion took place in his support of Demitriou. He, Gale, is now caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Could be the undoing of Demitriou totally.
Watch this space - and the Herald Sun.

NOTE TAKE NOTE, The Final *8* for *2008* IS : St.Kilda - 2 games clear. Hawthorn Geelong Brisbane Richmond Adelaide, Fremantle, Collingwood.
