The one player who I'd ask more from, if I was coach, is Farren Ray.
I like him, but he has been very quiet today. Dunno why.
He's someone who I'd be asking to step up in the last, if he isn't subbed.

It's been a great game, very entertaining to watch because of the high scoring. We have dominated parts, they have dominated parts. Neither side is giving an inch... gotta respect everyone. Some of the things that stood out to me were: * Polo is brave. Betcha he has a big bruise around his kidneys t...

21 to 16 now, we are in front.

Well said. Very classy thread. Thanks Saintbrat. And thanks to the Saints players and club too.

Those who are in the game are very lucky!

Thanks for the great report!

You didn't actually say what the 300 thing is... photo? poster? jumper? What?

Mr. Magic, you still have extra tickets left, don't you?
Can we start a new sticky that specifically says "Tickets for the framed photo", so more people can buy tickets and you are not out of pocket?

Intimidation like this is a form of cheating - trying to make a slanderous accusation at a person playing sport for the express purpose of changing the result. It is also cowardly thuggery, of course, and if it wasn't informally condoned by Collingwood, people in their cheersquad would have their me...

Did you see in this week's members email that you could play with (and be coached by) former Saints greats in a pre-game event before the North match on August 27? You have to reserve your place, and one spot is $1500. I would LOVE to do it; it's a dream for any Saints tragic. But the added cost of ...

She reported it formally to the police this year; informally, she surely would have said something informally before then.

What upsets me is that this refers to something which happened while he was at Essendon. They would have known of the allegation before they gave him stellar character references.

Me too mate. Thanks!

I really like Cripps; the perfect goal-kicking sub. Hope he is back in the side soon!

We've moved off the topic about, but I just wanted to restate my main beliefs about this: * You're a pretty weak supporter of the club if you go to the football just to harass the cheersquad. Either join and make it better by your contribution, or leave them alone. Don't try to get your jollies by h...

Terrible behaviour to yell at Cheer Squad members. Unforgivable. Maybe the Club should be notified to stop these people from creating an anti-social environment... the whole cyber-bullying turning into in-person bullying, abuse and perceived threats of violence deserves a serious response from the A...

I will never forget the guy on the goalpost!

But check out the commentary - at first, they are treating it as just another preseason game... they are so disconnected from the emotion of the crowd!

Milne to kick 10 goals this weekend.

Mr Magic, I've never met you, but you are a top bloke. Thanks.
And goodonya to the winners. Go Saints!

Because I love them.
I love the club.
I love the players.
I love the fans.
And all other teams are bad, evil and not nice.

Good on ya, Con. Came back and made an apology. We all see the passion you have and we understand.

The swear word you used is a singular noun... in which case it should be "a (Swearword)" not "an swearword". Spelly used to provide posters with assistance in English, but doesn't anymore. Pity.

I am sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

I am beyond sad at hearing this news.
