interestingly we generally had a to 5 defence playing the old strategy. now I understand we have had a lot of injuries this year...which is a fair call for why our defence struggled. I would also say that we have had similar injuries in previous years and OMG we shouldn't be satisfied with 8th is be...

who have WCE got as a forward line? besides glass how much quality have they got in the back line? we have spread our talent through a few quality defenders, a few quality midfielders and a few quality forwards. WCE have spent their resources in the midfield. think of it like the one of the supercoa...

actually have a look at the bottom 5 at wce and sydney and theya re pretty ordinary too. i think some 10 players got less than 11 possessions last GF. not everyone in your team has to be a star. WCE showed how ordinary they are with a handful of injuries. melbourne beat footscray, hawks turned their...

our list was good enough to maul WCE, adelaide, hawks and a couple of other team.

our reserves full of saints are smashing the opposition.

given the restrictions of salary cap and injuries we have a very good list.

put him in the ruck.

atm carbon rod > rix >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>clarke

brooks and kosi in the ruck.

Watts off the bench, get him used to the big time when he becomes our FF.

concur meher.

we are still the better team out there despite the scoreboard.

if we can maintain what we are doing and get a lift from others we will win this at a canter.

I would pay $1000 to the club and so would 1000 other members if we got Leigh Matthews down in 2008.

I said earlier in the season I support st kilda, I dont enjoy AFL any more.

in between the politics, dimwit etc, and the way some teams play Im just there for the saints.

I used to love every game and pour over the stats etc, now its pretty much st kilda or nothing.

s that 6 bests or 7 bests brooks has had this season in the magoos? maybe he is coming good at long last.

watts was always a matter of time IMO.

HFF next year and FF the year after !!!!

Go Go brooks.

its like having laws that are unenforceable. there are several reasons for having a drug rule: 1. its unhealthy do we really want these young men being pressured by their peers and known cheats to consume drugs themselves to keep up? 2. whether we like it or not these guys are role models, the kids ...

I wonder if he was critcal of alistare lynch. lynch too speed to overcome a congenital disorder CFS I guess that would mean it would be ok for others, like those prone to hamstrings, or incapable of putting on bulk through diet and exercise or those with a predisposition to being slow to do it too :...

photo of WCE which the fans and the club would like you to believe :



seriously most of the sledging is aimed at WCE fans and watching them rage might be the only fun we get

just as an interesting addendum to this, I dont know how true but the AFL has requested that some stored samples of tests conducted be destroyed as they have been kept for more than 6 months.

again i just got this from a friend, and it could just be a rumour so is completely unsubstantiated but...

What would you do if 1 player out of 22 was consuming illegal substances during the grand final and was tested positive... it would be a PR disaster. also certain chemical substances are in the hair follicles for months afterwards, reputedly 6 months. when this was mooted as a cheaper and more effec...

it was probably the worst kept secret/rumour that WCE were 'supplimenting' their diets. I remember them laughing about it at the time on TV on one of the sports shows when asked what would happen if the testers came around, said more than a few would be leaping the back fence. there were certainly f...

would be interesting to see the results of EPO tests on WCE. although the AFL might let it slip for a few months to let it clear out of their system with their head in the sand syndrome. who was that ex hawk who said he did party drugs and no one tested him for years? and how is it cousins who admit...

lol I remember that game vaguely we won in a canter right? they might be a worry if the come to play. Harvey is a much harder man than cuddles ever was. I suspect Freo will either be very good in the next few years or a broken team if harvey gets the gig (buckanara at sydney - they couldn't handle t...

What was it that brought on this sudden recovery of Akermanis's repressed childhood memory? Did the alleged culprit say or do something to him in the recent game between WCE and the Doggies? Fair enough for him to report it to the relevant authorities, but why turn it into a media event at the same...

interestingly WCE were run of their legs yesterday.

perhaps we should name some names before we play them in a couple of weeks and they might be scared straight

i have heard from a few re: drugs at WCE but can't remember brauns name being mentioned.

wouldn't suprise me though.

I think thats how russia became christain orthodox!!!

ivan? or was it peter was impressed with constantinople under the rule of the byzantine emperors...

BTW I dont think there is THAT much difference between the clubs and the memberships and the members, its just who you belong to...

who cares about good friday anyway.

most people dont even get overtime if they are on AWAs.

its just anohter working day for most lower income and service staff.

white collars get a break still.

<shrug> if they give it to us, they'll take it off us in a few years. remember the dusk games? we pioneered that, but it was taken off us? the guys HERE organised the wooden spoon tradition, now through eddie marketting, its collingwood who did it first. we get spooned by the AFL more often than a $...

sounds like a plan. I have a big flag which mum made for me 20 years ago (some may remember the old rag) and I have a beautiful wall hanging which a friend gave to me. His mum was a saints supporter and made it, its about 8 foot by 4 foot, its in our garage. but if we make a truely enormous one, som...
