Footy Show Curse?

Am I correct in saying that every Nicky Dal appearance on the Footy Show is followed by a loss?

Peter Carey as an umpire was always tough on the Saints, he is now a member of the MRP and our treatment by them is somewhat questionable in my mind eg Stevie Baker, Gilbo's demerit points on his tackle on Black. The thread shows what sort of guy the MRP has on board, someone who when umpiring decid...

Peter Carey - MRP member - Never a friend of the Saints

Peter Carey (umpire) Peter Carey is a former Australian rules football umpire in the Australian Football League. In 1992, Carey won the All Australian Umpire award for that year. Carey is perhaps most famous for the mark that he took whilst umpiring his 299th AFL match between Fremantle and St. Kild...

Direct TV Coverage in Qld?

I'm staying at Coolum this weekend and can't find where the game is being broadcast live. Channel 10 are doing the Hawks v Lions game, can only find Saints v Filth game on Fox replay on Sunday at 10.30 am! Surely it would be on live somewhere up here? Help!!

Last Sandy game 15 May

JUst back from the game... Bendigo overall a bit quicker around the packs but an entertaining game. Here's a report on some Saint players Steven - played midfield and was in the thick of the action. His disposal at times wasnt perfect but tried very hard and did some great clearance work. Stanley -...

I can handle most commentators but one that requires the mute button is J Hird on Fox matches when Essendon is playing. For whatever reason the Saints struggle against the Dons and listening to him is just unbearable. He may have been a good player but his biased comments just get to me.

Time for T Walsh

Torture watching it yesterday. Whilst devestated I do think that we were the better side but got some of our own back by missing set shots. Out of the 8 games so far I'm reasonably sure that we have won statistically only 3 games. North, Freo and Essendon. So I think we are lucky to be 5 and 3 and s...

Yappers & Clappers

Surely someone in the media will raise the obvious issue that umpires are continuing to punish our Yapper and the one time Clapper by the ongoing unpaid frees. It was bad tonight. Commetti always gets a comment in his call and never misses when they occur. He always reminds all viewers in some form ...

28 days later

In 1965 I saw us beaten by the Dons, in 1966 I was there, in 1971 I listened to it on radio, 1997 with my kids we saw us lose the unloseable, and 28 days ago I saw all the players head plant when the siren went. It is not easy being a Saints supporter, but I know there are so many that feel the same...

Are we tired?

According to Gerard Healey we are. The pressure is on us, maybe some fresh energy should be included. Surely Max, Armo, BigMac, and Goose must be busting for a game? Gerard said he wouldn't be surprised if we got rolled by the Roos this weekend. Dwayne thought we could get knocked out by the Blues. ...

Has anyone got a recording of him saying that? I was there on that Saturday night when the lights went out. They fluttered for a second, came back on and then went out completely, about 20 minutes into the 3rd quarter, we were looking shaky and were about 20 points down and in danger of being runove...
