Re: disjointed statements- article
What about this one same article ... "On his arrival he found two groups. The experienced leaders. The stars of the club. The men who’d been so close." Isn't that 3 groups . ? Terrible article all round . I actually think that is 3 sentences describing the one group, I think the author di...

Re: Cheap Stats from Kick-outs - Montagna singled out
The kick in stats for a point are traditionally not counted. Why? Probably because the kicks were not earned. But they are usually taken by a player with good disposal skills and good decision making. Contrast this with the free kick for out on the full - all you have to be is near where the ball we...

Re: Mark Fine
I don't think anyone can justify the type of rants Mark Fine has publicly made - absolutely destroying the credibility of the club and ruining next year's membership numbers

Re: Rumour: Boyd to slip to 3....
BrianSpeaking does tend to use the scattergun approach in his predictions. Each week there is a new name leaked. Then when the draft arrives he claims he said it first. Just as long as you discount all the wrong predictions he made. If he is truly "in the know" then we should be pissed of...

Re: GOOD FRIDAY FOOTY !!
I am keen to see this happen. If the Saints can own Good Friday - make it a Marquee match against a regular opponent (some have suggested Melbourne which would fit somewhat with the religious theme) and the day will always be a Friday (as opposed to ANZAC day which each year is on a different day).

Re: Why does Siposs play, yet Ledger can't get a game?
I'm not sure that Leder is very good. He gets a good number of possessions but his disposal is awful. His man number 40 was the oppositions most damaging player and Ledger was useless at stopping him. I can see why he is not selected. Do yourself a favour - look up the best 6 players in each match t...

Re: Why 'punish the club'?
What's the point of punishing Essendon? Who are you really punishing? In reality, it's the fans that get hurt by it. If a company does something wrong, granted they may be fined as a punishment - but generally it's the board that gets sent to jail. Obviously the extent of the punsihment varies, but...

Re: Has anyone heard any rumours regarding an investigation
Thread bumped due to recent inuendo from Dean Robinson about Collingwood. Enough water has passed under the bridge to state this overtly now, but I was privy to a very strong rumour which I first heard in December 2010 that Collingwood had used PEDs specifically human growth hormone during that seas...

classy azza12 I personally was surprised we came so close in 2004 and frankly I believed we were the best team in 2005 only to be cruelled by injury at the pointy end of the season GT put together a great bunch of people (character wise) who bonded together and played for each other.

Re: AGM- Feb 8th
I am impressed with the move to recruit players with outstanding character. I also am thrilled that the club has brought a number of great Saints back to the club as coaches. Likewise I think the move to respect and honour our past players, staff and volunteers. All good. And the olive branch extend...

None of the other departures had the same effect as the loss of Plugger. I was gutted, absolutely gutted, when he was stolen from us. Also I always regretted that Nicky Winmar didn't end his career with us Can add Gilbert Mcadam and Adrian Fletcher to the losses. Grant Thomas too... :lol: Gilbert Mc...

We were indeed fortunate. If I recall correctly Essendon had been caught systematically cheating the salary cap between 1992 and 1996 and were punished - one component of that punishment meant that they could not hang onto Milne in 1999 (I think). The Saints reserves had been beaten by Essendon rese...

I think a lot of people here are being disrespectful of the relationship we have with Sandringham. This coming season is the first in a new era of real co-operation. If it turns out to be a failure for both parties (and especially the Saints) then we should look into fielding a stand alone reserves ...
