They were so scared of playing us during the NAB Cup that they didn't even turn up! They are our bitch...

At least The Age reported without making it senstaionalist: "The Office of Police Integrity has called for evidence from a 2004 investigation into rape allegations against St Kilda player Stephen Milne to be reviewed - but police have today confirmed that charges are "very unlikely". ...

A heap of us were singing the old school theme song ("Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...") leaving the MCG in 2010 after we beat the Bulldogs in the prelim to make the GF, and Neil Roberts was drawn like a moth to a flame and came over and sang it with us! That was a magic moment, es...

Really? There you go. I thought he was a flanker. Remember seeing him in Sydney towards the end of H&A last year and thinking he was a bit lumbering for that position, but he'd actually be pretty mobile for a CHF. He always played well in the Sandy games I saw...

Is that selection odd to anyone else? I haven't seen any of their pre-season games, although I've heard he's been showing a bit over there. I just never really thought of him as a KPP...

Is this the same Ben McEvoy who is rated by footy judges as one of the best young rucks in the AFL. Its not like our supporters to go off half cocked. Now Stanley is the great white hope. Is this the same guy who was rated as terrible last season by Saints supporters. its not like our supporters to...

Another nice PR win for the club, but I'm most disappointed that the players missed out on a proper hit out prior to round 1. Time is running out to get proper game time into the players prior to the Port Adelaide clash. Oh God yeah a game would have been far better, without doubt. But lemons, maki...

Plus this from Pelchen: "We remain more concerned for the City of Wangaratta and the disappointment that was experienced by the local community who supported the game despite extreme weather conditions,” said St Kilda’s head of football Chris Pelchen. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/saint...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/129979/default.aspx "This is disappointing because the Wangaratta rural city has gone to an enormous effort for this, so for them not to be here is disappointing," said Delahunty, who played 46 games for Essendon in the 1970s. "B...

Shame on you Essendon Shame. Shame AFL shame you mean? Essendon got what they requested. They did nothing they weren't allowed to do. Had the AFL given us the 4 points you'd say fairs fair. That's all most of us want. I really hope our club goes hard on the AFL on this - we need a win over stupidit...

Thanks for the report, great stuff!

Are we talking getting leaner? Ie less fat?

Or do they stop doing weights? Or just stop increasing the weights.

Lower weight, higher reps

saw Freddy Negro's band The F*ck F*cks do a rowsing rendition of When The Saints Go Marching In at the Espy on the eve of the 97 finals - I can't believe that I'm admitting this, but my girlfriend at the time dragged me to see Bush (honest) the night before the 97 GF - when they finished the first ...

Yeah I have audio for The Lucksmiths and Hell To Pay, plus most of the other ones discussed in this thread... PM me if you're after anything in particular...

Hell To Pay - Saints & Kings (1991)



First line:
"Ain't too many Saints in St Kilda..."

Plus Mick Thomas sang a song called 'Isle Of St Kilda' once at an instore at a music shop in Brisbane where I was working, I think it's an old folk song about the actual island where the suburb got its name from...

Plus most of Fred Negro's bands - I Spit On Your Gravys, Gravybillys, Brady Bunch Lawn Mower Massacre, The Band Who Shot Liberty Valance etc - have songs that reference St Kilda, but they're all about the suburb rather than the club/team...

The Lucksmiths "Silver Friends" I never thought that it could happen quite so strictly But strictly speaking we were usually speaking strictly I returned her library books And she returned my dirty looks The hardest thing I’ve ever done was breaking up But my broken heart turned out to b...

Don't know if Malkmus is a Saints fan, although I remember seeing him play solo at the Corner in Melbourne on his first post-Pavement tour and he mentioned something about the Saints (which made me comically happy). I was at the races with him and Bob and some of their crew on the day of the pre-sea...

That's my scarf!! I was at the drawn GF and then had the dawning horror that I wasn't going to be in Melbourne for the replay because I was going over to the States to watch Pavement's last ever American shows (plus the Matador Records festival and Guided By Voices reunion). Tough decision (have har...

I'll bet my left leg that we will be bottom four in 2012. Seriously? With Lenny to return, another pre-season under the belts of Siposs, Cripps, Ledger et al and everybody else up and excited and eager to please the new coach (whoever that may be)? It may take a while to get accustomed to a whole n...

I hope he doesn't push the club should of got it done vibe again. Basically, I hope the players have been filled in on the events now. How gullible are you lot? What filled in on Nettlefold spin and you believe it! :shock: yeah, I reckon because someone CLOSE to the club with connections to the boa...

Great post, exactly how I feel. So tired of us being in the papers for all the wrong reasons, so tired of hoping against hope that somehow the cards will all fall the right way to get us that elusive flag... Our motto, however, gives me the courage to continue on the righteous path... It's still onl...
