There have been a lot of rumours circulating here and elsewhere about all these different fanciful trades in order to secure pick 1 from GWS. Ideas such as giving up picks 3, 17, Fisher. IMO we should not make any attempt to trade for Boyd for the following reasons: 1. Pick 3, notwithstanding a com...

Ok so we traded out Ben, but we did bring in Hickey and Lew Pierce last year. Invest 20 odd games in Hickey and/or Stanley (who has been starved of opportunity as a forward or ruck) and if necessary use Pierce to cover for injury. Can not see the point of bringing in Jolly or another ruck for a yea...

This footy club as much as I love it has given very little by way of a return for my loyal support. Let's face it. 2013 has been a shyte year for all of us. Team not competitive. The Clinton Jones act of insanity. The Plympton stupidity. And Stephen Milne not receiving due acknowledgement for his lo...

Does anyone have news on this guy? He came to us with a dash of potential. Showed a glimpse or two for Sandringham. He had a broken wrist when we first got him which also eventually put him out for 2013. I've heard rumours that he has a fractured scaphoid bone which is notoriously difficult to heal ...

And if and when this matter goes to trial. And believe me that is no sure thing. And...if he is judged to be guilty then he will in all probability go to prison and rightly so. But until that day comes. S Milne is innocent and should be allowed to continue his footy career with the St Kilda Footbal...

Normally I pretty much agree with Caroline Wilson as a football journalist. I have great respect for her as a writer and judge of the game we all love. But on Stephen Milne she is just plain wrong. Some people on this forum aren't going to like me for saying this but I think that Caro and the St Kil...

Being a loyal supporter of this football club isn't easy. It's a tough gig that's for sure. When you look at our overall record from times past there have been more downs than ups and only one (count them) one premiership. Ok. Here's my point: I get that we are not going to win many games this seaso...

PS - Tom Hickey just got recalled so there goes that theory.

You are a funny man. Like this a lot

It's not often that I feel compelled to hit the keyboard to talk about another football club. Especially on this forum. But this week i've felt it is almost a moral duty. There are parts of the Collingwood football club that are a vile disgrace. Rotten to the core. I'm not talking about the coach or...

10 goals. Great effort. got 10 to one on him kicking more than 11 today. you are absolutely on the money. Yes. Good on him. i don't think many, if any, on this forum rated young Tom. But good on him for bagging ten. The Opposition was pretty ineffectual but I don't want to denigrate his achievement...

I know AFL footy is no place for wimps. It's a tough game and sometimes you get as good as you give. You don't complain you just move on. People apologize and that is the end of the matter. But I am about to make an exception. I think Eddie Betts so called 'bump' on Nathan Wright was an absolute dis...

I'm going to throw some stuff out there that some of you aren't going to like. Fully accept and understand that we are in the rebuilding phase. Again. Have no problem with the coach or the support staff. The strategy of giving the kids a go is good and let's keep doing it. Also accept we are probabl...

Dunno about you guys, but I'm starting to see things I like- the next generation of Saints could be pretty exciting..in a year or two I sense a real positive. Well said and spot on. Sadly we have to look beyond this season for the promise of glory and much needed silverware. We have some kids that ...

Pleased that sanity has prevailed and Stevie Baker is free to play footy again. I know that he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer but there was reasonable doubt about the charge against him. I know there are many on this forum who will disagree with me but Bakes did not deserve to end his footy...

We aren't going to get too high up the ladder this year but already after the first 3 rounds there are some really good positives. Stanley...He has really stepped up. Looks like he is going to be a top liner Roberton...Wow. Where did he come from. Awesome find. Wright...when was the last time we wi...

Ok. You were right. The people on this forum who said we were past it. Who said we wouldn't make the finals. Who said we'd be lucky to win 10 games this year. But I have to say it gives me no comfort saying you were right. In fact it makes me very sad as someone who has supported this football club ...

Forgotten can be a good thing. Look at the Swans. You are absolutely right. Well said. The Swannies went on to win the premiership in 2012 more importantly we were one of the few AFL teams to put them to the sword. I think the story in the Age made some very important points that a few people on th...

Saintsational is dying... A few days before our first game and virtually no activity on the board. Saintsational is not the buzzing, thriving forum it was. Activity in terms of creating new threads and commenting on threads looks to have dropped off compared to previous years. If this keeps up the ...

Well said. Quite frankly I am surprised, shocked and a little ashamed at some of the attitudes of the so called St Kilda supporters on this forum who saw fit to kick Stevie Baker when he is down and out. This bloke was a warrior for the St Kilda football. Notice I said warrior not thug as some peop...

well hang on a minute......... The former AFL tagger was found not guilty of striking and not guilty of charging, but was found guilty of a rough conduct charge despite a lack of video evidence. The three field umpires also told the hearing they didn't see anything. so if no one saw anything how on...

Read with interest in the Herald Sun that we tried to lure Chris Tarrant out of retirement. Unsuccessfully it seems. Does anyone know if this is true? Would he have been a good fit for us? How hard did we try to get him? Clearly Watters rates him even though he is now aged 33. Would he have plugged ...

Oh help, the sky is falling! We lost a meaningless practice match against a meaniness opponent in a meaningless venue. Oh no, our season is doomed! Let 's see how we go when the real stuff starts! Amen. A voice of reason in a sea of insanity. Round one is when the real stuff starts. Everything else...

The nab cup is a total farce. The latest stupid thing from the AFL is that Brisbane, who have earnt the right to host the final, are forced to play at Etihad against Carlton as the Gabba is unavailable. Carrara Stadium on the Gold Coast is available, but the AFL have gone the bigger crowd option of...

Alright people are going to think this is completely unfair as we have only played 4 practice games and Kosi has only played 2 of those but I will say it anyway. Shoot me. Kosi will struggle to play a game in the seniors this year. Everything I say here is only on 3 quarters because I had to leave ...
