Trying to convince a mate at work about how good Nicky was...why is there such limited footage of him?? Anyone have any links so he can see some of the brilliance himself? Back then not all games were televised, so we played many games were there were no broadcast cameras, or maybe one on the wing ...

Awesome...

Same. Used to be interstate member but upgraded, mainly just to support the club...

No, you're allowed to take bounary umpires out...

There's no real point to Smith's article though. Sure we won 10 in a row in 2004 and didn't make the GF, but he's just using that fact as a convenient lever to discredit our peroformance in 2009 and have another dip at GT. He uses random facts to bolster superflous assertions - we have "only 7 ...

We've really been firing on all cylinders since the get go this year, but that style of football must be difficult on the players both physically and mentally. The constant pressure that they're putting on the other team is laudable, but is is sustainable at that level over the course of the whole s...

Sorry for your loss Manoffewwords. Hope we go the distance for your dad...

Are you for real? Jim has been fantastic so far, especially the last 2 or 3 weeks. Very good again tonight. Provides a strong, physical presence, has very, very good skills, and us learning to read the play. He has really been given an opportunity to shine of late and hasnt disappointed. I love the...

Thanks for the reports peoples... Very excited about seeing Saints at Carrara next weekend. Looking forward to seeing Ray in RW&B with my won eyes for the first time, and hopefully a few new guys as well. Not that concerned about us winning, rather get some good structures in place with an eye o...

I agree... But if i see the name Ben Cousins ever again im gunna walk in front of a train Why would you post a ridiculous statement like that? A mate of mine did that many years ago. It killed him, destroyed his family and the train driver's life. Thoughtless comments like that are a sign of immatu...

I voted for them to do their job. Now I'm happy to let them do it as they see fit. When the next vote comes along, then I will exercise my right as a member and vote accordingly. so let's all just sit on our hands and keep quiet i'm pretty sure that's the attitude that Fitzroy supporters had OMG, t...

Great post. I needed that...

No, it's not... It really p1sses me off when fans put a full stop in St Kilda... It's as if some fans don't really know or are just ignorant... B4E has often referred to it as St. Kilda, whilst boasting of tradition :roll: makes me laugh sometimes, when some rant on tradition and yet can't get it r...

What sort of angles? Acute? Right? Obtuse? Reflex??

lol... Chris Stone...I remember him (I THINK). I remember him taking a mark in the goal square at Moorabbin against the Bombers, and kicking a goal in the last quarter.. Think we won by about 5 pts. late 70s Im sure he also wore some sort of goggles to protect his eyes at some stage too while playi...

On the back I had: Doug 7 Cox I had that as well! Then years later he coached the reserves at my club. I played seniors but it was still cool having a yarn with him at functions about those days... I must have been a sucker for the underdogs (or just plain strange) because while most people had Tre...

From Wikipedia: In interviews about his book, Minack revealed he was a teacher, his father fought in WWII for the Germans and that he is fanatical about the Richmond AFL football club, which explains his compound stage moniker. So the lead singer was not a Saints fan, not that it really matters. Al...

I once knew a Collingwood supporter who every time they lost would sleep out in the shed and this clown was a grown man with a wife and Kids. That's one classy Pies fan. Most Collingwood wives would love their husband to sleep in the shed after a loss instead of taking it out on her and the kids......

29-10

Don't forget our stirring NAB Cup defeat of them earlier this year

If it bleeds it can be killed....

Is that right? I remember being incredulous when Freo were favourites, the obviously we weren't supposed to beat North. Bizzarely Carlscum were faves last I saw odds, and then we weren't supposed to win tonight. Anyone made a killing?

I hope we do i really really do. We will see all out attack. I have heard that after last game he has decided that that is the way forward for this team and is going to loosen the reigns on them I wouldnt say I just watched "all out attack" I watched a side start slow, win for the next 2 ...

I was one of the first out on the ground to pat Plugger on the back :) We'd been going from end to end waiting for the moment, and he just happened to take the shot right in the pocket in front of where we were waiting at the fence... Rod Owen and Nicky were trying to protect Plugger but there were ...

I was at the game but haven't seen a replay yet - it seemed that for the first three quarters we got the rough end of the stick from the umps. Is this a fair call? Was sort of hard to tell some of the ime when the play was on the opposite side because we were pretty much on the boundary, but it seme...

The girl I was going out with at the time lived in Queensland and was down visiting me in Melbourne - that game was her first expereince of Aussie Rules and she could not believe it.... The atmosphere was incredible... I think she always looked at me in a different light after that day too because I...
