Crow ! Why you ask? Because my longtime mate Robert Eddy, who now lives in Sydney, was nicknamed Crow - so whenever I see our Robert Eddy - I think 'Crow'. Go Crow!

Talking of nicknames - I reckon Clinton Jones = should be 'Owen' - tell me he doesn't bear a resembalnce to actor Owen Wilson

Phooey - hoping Hawks would win to help our finals chances v Roos. Also that they'd lose more confidence and like us cop a few hamstring injuries ... anyone think we can win? (Wish Lenny was playing)

Hey Eppo - interested to read your a Mentone boy. Me too - grew up at Allandale Rd went to Parkdale High. Now living in Brisbane after 10 years on Gold Coast. Selfishly, I wouldn't mind Saints moving to Gold Coast. Still play a bunch of games in Melb and if it means seeing the boys doing a victory l...

Gwilt?????? No way - he gets my vote for another selection. McQualter before him

Bit sad really. Both captains. At start of Lions Bulldogs game, Brown has 2 shots on goal - gets both. How I long to see Nick's shots on goals improve and get 2 in a row ... especially at the beginning of a game when we need to make our mark. Could have been further in front in 1st Q against Bulldog...

Last night watched the 2004 Telstra win against Eagles (9th in a row). In the dying secs Gehrig put us over 100 pts in front. How is it possible that just 4 years ago we would beat a side by over 100 points and yet the Eagles 2 years later would win the premiership. That day they had Judd and Cousin...

You're right St Bev - forgot that practice game. I actually have some video footage of it. Also got some footage of Spider Everitt and boys at a SEQ supporters function in 90s. (Remember Steve as Indian chappie!) And yet despite our poor form in Qld - we still have a very decent supporter base in SE...

In all the games we've played against Brisbane Lions (Bears) in QUEENSLAND since 1987 - we've only won 3 times. That also includes practice games and finals (unless I've missed a win somewhere). The wins were: 1987 V Bears at Carrara (28 points), 1990 v Bears at Gabba (Best win - 77 points with a ba...

Hey St Byron ... yeah you're right. It was still a PATHETIC HOPELESS effort. You knwo the sad thing ... if you checked the record books I'd say the last time we kicked 8 goals in a 1/4 at the gabba was when Lockett played. When I'd been to games at Gabba and we lost badly .... I used to pray - at le...

Ok - unhappy all day ..... BUT at least they kicked 8 for the quarter. Sure Brisbane took foot off - but it could have been a 100 pt loss. At least an effort. Now can we beat Dees? They're beating Hawks at moment.

Hey Sainternist .... like it. My first smile 4 today.

Is anyone playing on Bradshaw, Black and Brown!!!!

Oh by the way, Milne has a contract that says he's not required to kick any goals in interstate games!

Thank goodness .... only one quarter of pain!!!!!

I live in Brisbane - and I hate to say it .... but take out a membership, support the raffles, go to Carrara, go to ADelaide ...... BUT don't waste your money at the Gabba. SAdly when we even lose to Lions it's big time. What is it with us and the Gabba!!!

Sadly make that 2 wins out of 15 games at Gabba - only one win since Lockett left!

Why why why Nick! Why do9esw this happen so often!

I agree with Rama. I live in Brisbane - have seen us win at Gabba just once since Lockett moved on. We've lost practice games to Brisbane, night games, day games ... etc. and sad to say when we lose - we lose badly to Lions. I HOPE and really want to believe that we can beat Brisbane. But on form - ...

Sad if true. Saw him in lasg game of 2007 - such a fairy tale ending to a career. I say - what the heck - if he is going to retire - play him in the Melb game in 2 weeks time as his 'farewell match'. Nothing to lose.

Several of us Brissie Saints fans are now starting to gather at the 'Newman' residence to watch (in particular) the Foxtel games on the big screen in the 'Saints Theatre'. The clan is growing! There's Rob, Chris, Larry, Stuart, Darren, Jeremy, Parris, Jayden, Christie, Whitney and me Newman. Not eve...

At 3/4 Time .... not optimistic. And the sad thing is .... we only have King and Hudghton missing. This is virtually our best side on paper. Gee - if we can only scrape a win against the Tigers I hate to think who's left that we could be confident of beating bar Demons. Not happy.

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for your comments Quigs - very balanced and you are in the area of fans that would be affected. So I take your viewpoint more seriously. Hey ... and you remembered the Sainta Clause costume! It was worth wearing as that year I got the gig as Sainta Claus at the club's...

PS Just one more thing. For past 3 years I've been living in Brisbane - but still have 2 memberships and 2 reserved seats ... so the two people that don't enjoy my celebrating will be pleased to know that I can only make it for 3 more home games ..... but, of course, I can always leave the banner fo...

Hmmm some interesting comments. I guess the best feedback is from anyone down the back in Aisle 32. I do take people's feelings into consideration. I stand up in the aisle and raise it high so as not to cause an obstruction - and I would have thought with a bit of a tilt of your head you could still...

Spinner, with respect, one could also say why doesn't the Cheer Squad just pack up and go home when the siren goes. I'm sure the TV cameras appreciate banners, flags and fans at a game and at the conclusion. It's just my way of celebrating a win. I only raise it when we win and it stays up for the t...

Everytime I wave my 'Another Saints Go Marching Win' banner (see avatar) at end of game - one bloke comes to front and abuses me silly saying 'he can't see'. What really is there to see when the siren rings? Another old woman also yells to put the banner down. I just like to sing and celebrate when ...
