Spud would be proud by the crowd noise

Can I just say living in Adelaide watching on TV a game against the Pies at the MCG. I am so proud of the Sainters fans tonight. Our home game I know but through the.tv you guys were amazing. Even when I left the room in the last to get a drink and I heard a roar I thought it was them, finally it wa...

Re: Marcus Windhager

The day this kid played for us I just saw a pure footballer "midfielder" who is Selwood like....my team will win. Tonight he showed what he can do and surely the coaches can see it. I started to have my doubts but he's been injured and played in the wrong position and as a tagger. Tonight ...

Re: Round 2 - Saints be Pies - Match Day thread

No matter what happens tonight, we have found our new Selwood. Windy has always had the ability and RTB can finally see it. He's a midfielder!

Re: The need for speed in our midfield

We all have to remember that Paddy Dow was recruited for that reason, he has the speed and the inside players will be needed to feed him. In every position (apart from the ruck) we have depth now. It's a long season, the players that are currently underdone will play a role. Wilson, Henry, Bonner an...

A bit of help from regular game attendees pls

Hi All,

Just looking for a bit of advice from fellow Sainters. I'm coming over from SA for a footy trip with 6 others. One of the games is Saints v Roos at Marvel on 4th May. Do you think we should pre-book tickets or we'll get decent seats if we buy on the day ? Cheers

Re: Brayshaw - leave thread here as it affects the future of footy in general

To give some perspective Brayshaw retired because of his history of head knocks. Caminiti was unlucky because the guy he barely touched had a history. McCartin had a history and pretty much ran into a player and was concussed, do we blame Paddy ? I feel Maynard was lucky to get off for a game or two...

Re: I'm tired of it YOY

I get the underdog thing but I'm tired of it. We had so many injuries last year and still made the 8. The first team they said would drop was us. Do they know our list or do they go by history? I think our youngsters will make their own history...might be Collard, Wilson, Keeler with the group befor...

Special Cup

RTB's presser was brilliant. When he coached us years ago it was the most confident I'd been as a supporter. His reference to listening to Buckley's advice and recruiting and playing kids says to me he's still learning.. he knows how good Enright is so he will put his attention to the centre - forwa...

Re: Gather Round at Norwood Oval = joke

Here's some positives :- All the people from Vic who I spoke to last year loved it, not far to Adelaide and they got to come over with mates or family and watch a couple of games free from moronic Crows and Port supporters plus do some sightseeing. My family and I got to see our team play a Victoria...

This game should've been at Adelaide Oval. Sold out within an hour, what a joke. I'm one of the most passionate fans living in Adelaide and couldn't get a ticket. Just can't understand the logic ??

Re: Post-match analysis

Cwrcyn summary was spot on. Pressure in finals exposed a few today. I've always rated Sharman and Stocker, not sure what the coaches don't see. First final for the coaches gives them an opportunity to see who stands up when it counts, youngsters are excused but experienced players have to go in the ...

My wife and I caught the overland over from Adelaide in '97. We went to family day the following day and it was great, highlight being Steven Sziller's haka and a photo with Banger.

Should I remind John Olsen and Mark Ricciuoto about a certain goal not given in the '97 preliminary final ? I'm sure Tony Liberatore would like a goal review !

We make the eight ... just ! I think we can win the next 2. People forget how important Membrey is to this team. He played well last week and King has a game under his belt. Our midfield have had the blowtorch on them and we play at home. I'll stay positive until the "plus size" lady sings.
