Agree , Tony. Last night was a great affirmation for the players, and for the coaching staff themselves - and for all of us- that Richo and co are on the right track.

What a super super win. So many great contributors. I have gone with the following, with apologies to Dunstan, Newnes, Roberton,Montagna, Minchington , Geary and everyone else. Everyone had a go. Yes there were mistakes, including by those below, but the positives far outweighed the negatives. 5. St...

hawks 25.41 against us in 1977. I was there, they had 10.24 at half time You are spot on. I was at that game too, and mentioned that to the assembled throng as we were watching the game last night . At half time it was a ridiculous 10.24 to 10.3 , and 25.41 to 16.7 at the final siren. Both Matthews...

You better get to my place New Year's Eve, Doc. That's when I pull out all my old Huey Lewis tapes. Plenty of simulated pub rock from then on as everyone goes home and I am left with my old tapes and a fridge full of their beer! Bliss! I assume you don't play "Cruisin", the hit duet Huey ...

I did Lee an injustice. I just checked the official stats. He actually had two kicks,not one. :oops: In my opinion you did Lee a greater injustice than that. Until injured he totally blanketed his opponent , Everitt, who has made scoreboard impact in other games. I agree with a poster on another to...

It is great to read these tributes to Verdun - and to Bob Murray - from fellow old-time Saints. As we look back over 50 years and more, there is a temptation to overstate the efforts of those who played in the 66 premiership, but let me assure younger readers that Verdun Howell and Bob Murray were b...

Think it's safe to say Etihad Stadium had mare of a day yesterday. The new Bozo commentator set the scene about 45 minutes before the game when he asked a Saints supporter "For how long have you been a member ?" . Answer "Ten years ". " ah yes", says the commentator&qu...

A most enjoyable afternoon. The crowd had thinned out considerably by half way through the last quarter , as those Carlton fair weather supporters who came out of the woodwork in the last few weeks could not handle the reality check. Great to see that Brendan Bolton is not the Messiah- he is just an...

From what I've read, he completely shut Everite out of the game until he came off He did indeed. Stats will not show it, but he really did his job until injured. After he came off, he did a lot of running up and down the boundary and only when the game was iced did they decide to apply some of that...

I think this is a good outcome. It is important to the development of our kids- and more enjoyable for us supporters - to have a strong Reserves team. The Sandy players - Cook, Noone, Elliott LeGrice, Kreymborg , Simpkin , Dennis-Lane - contribute strongly to that. Let's look at this week. We have 3...

Sinclair, Murdoch and Lee will be cut from the starting line up. Meaning Pierce, Acres, Minchington, Mckenzie and Delaney will play. Pierce, Membrey and Bruce will start up forward. Can't see McKenzie or Murdoch playing. With neither Fisher nor Dempster playing I reckon Richo is forced into playing...

Definitely The Troggs. "Wild Thing " was their huge hit from the beautiful year 1966. That song was one of many with great lyrics from that year, but none more delightful than "Hit the Boundary Line " ( regrettably illegal 50 years later ).

[quote="BringBackMadDog"]If Roo and McCartin don't play I would like to see Pierce get a run at it, his form for Sandy this year has been outstanding and he has improved out of sight. Lee has to come in for Goddard, this is his last chance to show he has what it takes. Acres should also be...

Well organised Kosi. Good stuff.

Out: Sinclair D-Mac!!!!!

Agree. I think travelling emergencies will be DMac and one of the bigger guys - maybe Lee. I would like to see Sinclair have a run in the midfield at Sandy .

I admit that prior to this season I did not think he would develop into a top class player. He really has gone to another level. It is not just his in-and-under ability - his pass in the last quarter that led to a goal was a cracker. As he has only just turned 23, the trajectory is definitely still ...

He was a bit quiet today, and got run off in the 3rd quarter quite a lot. He will be a player just needs to work harder and build a tank to be a regular senior player I was sitting very close to the interchange bench. He was off a lot ( I see from the stats this morning he was on for only 61% of ga...

I was there. Plus I went for its conclusion where a lot less attended. So I am one of the few that can say that I attended the longest AFL/VFL game in history. Very surreal as one assumed that they would just turned the lights back on after a few munutes. But no, pitch black for all! I am still ann...

I remember storming out of the house in the last quarter as they ran over us. Craig Devonport and Daniel Metropolis- what a couple of Coodabeens ! Hardly the inside midfielder type. Devonport was such an enigma. I was in Sydney and saw him kick 11 in a reserves game at age 17, playing on Mark Browni...

Our defenders were fabulous yesterday, but on the big WA ground, where it will be harder for Roo to work back to help, I think they will need a hand . If Roberton is fit I would bring him straight in. If not, one of Lee or Goddard. I think it was telling that in the last quarter, with the game to be...

Why was that not a free to hickey? Clearly bumped in back causing interference. Scores level at time........ Livid Just watched it again in slo mo. Definitely a free to Hickey. Plus they injured his leg when they squashed him in that contest, which meant he struggled to the next ruck contest, which...
