Re: saints indigenous
Looked at trying to do a side but the type of players just don't work so thought for discussion the top 5 indigenous players: 1. Nicky Winmar 2. Gilbert McAdam 3. Robbie Muir 4. Phil Narkle 5. Russell Jeffrey Honourable mention: Bob Jones, Xavier Clarke Very happy with that list. Phil Narkle ( he o...

Re: Team vs. Blues
Team looks spot on to me. Wright was cover last week for Mav, and did not quite do enough to keep him out, and Luke the obvious inside midfield replacement for Koby. Very happy to keep the same overall make-up as last week.

Re: Changes for the Blues
Watching the replay ( more than once !) across the weekend, I thought Minchington did some good things in the last quarter. I think he will keep his spot.

Re: Richo on SEN today.
He was also on ABC radio with Gerard Whateley et al . They spent 40 mins on game from 12.05 to 12.45pm today- the first 25 minutes waxing lyrical about the Saints - including Richo on the phone - and then 15 minutes with Mark Maclure bagging the GWS for getting ahead of themselves and being embarras...

Re: VFL Rd 4- Sandringham vs Nth Ballarat- TV game
Well done, Nathan !! There are wins , and there are wins, and it is fair to say that, after the euphoria of last night, that was pretty disappointing. Not many four quarter performers, but Lonie was great all day. I know he has his detractors, but clearly BOG. Marshall very impressive. The Hickey pr...

Re: Match thread
Just got home from the game. So very proud of the players, the coaching staff. Brilliant to be there. I know one swallow does not make a summer, but I am just going to enjoy that win . Well done, boys.

My hate will not allow me That's why I've never joined a footy tipping comp. This. Ditto for me. Some time in the mid 90s I was sitting 2nd in the footy tipping at work, coming into the last weekend, and found myself needing the Pies to win.

Re: Toby Greene
The whole Sydney and Queensland AFL thing is basically a fantasy. GWS look certain to win a few premierships over the next decade or so, with a team full of Victorians, and the only meaning it will have is in terms of the additional money the AFL got through TV rights by dint of being a "natio...

Re: Last Big Win v Hawks
Yep, and couple of years later, at the same venue, we led them 11.5 to 1.2- and lost. Spider did his na-na. In my memory our best win against them was at Princes Park in 1976, when we came from 45 points down in third, to win by 25, after Paul Callery got knocked out ( it turned out it was from frie...

I'll have a crack at it. Very enjoyable game, and so many lads played well. I had about 12 guys who could have scored votes. 5. Roberton. So steady and constructive . Very clean skils. 4. Jack Steven. Breaks lines. Pace is a great weapon. 3. Jack Newnes. I suspect not many will vote for him, but he ...

As I don't feel the same bitter envy of the Dogs that some on here seem to feel, I'm really enjoying watching the way they're taking up the fight to the in-form GWS on a slippery surface that ought to be harder for them The Dogs play such an attractive style of footy: surging forward again and agai...

Holmes has been dropped and promoted at the same time. Well I did watch Mark Scott once play in the Reserves and the Seniors for the Saints on the same day once. Indeed he did- 1982- to qualify him for the reserves finals. Back in the days when our senior team was so awful, we we supporting the Res...

1. Tossing up between Nathan Brown and Darren Minchington. If Meatball kicked that 4th one, I would have him in, but will go for Brown .

Re: Match thread v cats
From here at the ground it seemed the umpire first reminded Menzel that he must not run around, and then gave him a second chance when he moved off the line. That may be acceptable in under 10s, but is pathetic at the top level. Second worst piece of umpiring today, thus far.

This is a great thread, and kudos to the OP and all contributors.

Gee I hope you are right, Kick-it-lace-out, that Paddy will be a star, but I fear he will not. Roo, Tim, Josh and Paddy all suffered from the same delivery. All of them roamed up to the wing and even beyond. Roo had 28 disposals, 12 marks and 5 shots on goal. Membrey had 15 disposals, 10 marks and 4...
