The later has at least got us to a grand final.

The pssssst colum in the Sunday AGE by Bruce Eva (mad saints fan) today suggests that he heard from Geelong that there WILL NOT be a replay of the Grand Final in Rd 1, 2010. The article went on to suggest that the saints will play the cats 1 time in 2010 and that will be some time in the middle of ...

Oh right... they ARE the joke

The later

Hi All, I'm after a VHS or DVD copy of the Saints v Swans match - Round 7, 1994, where Plugger kicked the winner after the siren and also the Saints v Blues - Round 2, 1989 I believe, when Plugger kicked the winner with seconds remaining on the clock and Moorabbin was pitch-invaded. Have tried Sport...

What you get when Sydney media pretend to know a thing about Australian football.

The rumour I heard was that Ball was on close $600,000 a year and there is no way he'll get that with his new contract on offer.

If Ball is happy to take quite a substantial pay cut, than he will stay, but that's a big if.

HURRY UP TRADE WEEK & FINISH One that I heard today was particularly upseting; That we were prepared to trade Kosi as part of a Fevola deal. I refuse to believe this, but it is the sort of crap that goes around this week !! This one makes me physically sick! I don't mind Fev coming to the club,...

I think we might be jumping the gun a bit. Since Chappy became the Cats match-breaker last Saturday, the majority of Sainters believe the forward line is our weakest link and in dire need of that zippy, tough nugget small or a medium-sized third option. If that being the case, Fev is not our answer....

It's been a few years now and we still haven't found the next Sammy Hamill. Sam Gilbert (194/84) was going to be there but installed himself elsewhere. That was what they were building him up for during the pre-season and I reckon it would work. But moving Gilbo to the forward line would incur a hu...

If broadcast doesn't cut back to the bounce in time, then the NAG DVD wont have it either. By excessive replays, do you mean the replays shown on the jumbo-screen after a goal is kicked but that the TV viewers miss because they roll a 30 second goal-break? If so, then yes, the DVD will have it. Basi...

It's what they call a "clean feed" from the broadcast truck. The exact same production you see on television, minus the network branding and obviously no commercial breaks.

Our window is simply... P--A--N--O--R--A--M--I--C! Love it Milton! Was intersting on One Week At At A Time last night that when both Walls and Lloyd were asked what the ladder would finish up as next year. They both had us at the top and both had Geelong falling either 1 or 2 spots. Bulldogs and th...

I would like to see a replay of the 2009 Grand Final as the season opener. It would probably have to be a Geelong Home game at Etihad Stadium or the MCG. I believe that BOTH clubs should be rewarded with favorable FIXtures for 2010, but I bet BOTH are a long way behind Collingwood & Carlton whe...

A half forward flanker should ideally be pacy, quick thinking and instinctive - be able to sidestep and create time and space and have goal sense and possess a nice long kick. He must be someone with lightning reflexes and poise. Gwilt is not quick thinking or instinctive enough in my opinion - he ...

think about it ffs

Exactly!

The game plan and structure in place, while it was not perfect would have still won us the grand final had we converted a few more of our many chances.

Milton66 wrote:If you want a quality fwd, then S Fisher is the go. But you have to find someone to replace his output down back.

I would back both Chips and Gilbo as a third tall, but they just too good in defence. Similiar to the BJ option as a forward, can do it but is too lethal in the middle!

They were good enough to convert from their minimal opportunities and weren't good enough to convert from our many - on the day that is. So on the day that makes them deserving winners! I think the old debate of generating more goals from our mids will be dusted off and become a hot topic of observa...

First time for everything!

I don't see how we can cover the loss of Roo. Have a look at West Coast: They didn't have a superstar forward and still won a flag. How? One of the best midfield's we've ever seen. Judd, Kerr, Cousins, Fletcher, Braun, Selwood, Embley, Stenglein... You can get by without a dominant forward if you h...

I, like most Sainters, will be there for the boys, rain hail or shine and I'm nothing but proud of what the boys have achieved this year. I don't want this to be taken the wrong way, as we need to be positive and we need to be optimistic and we need to believe, but I always believe that you only ge...

Yeah, whatever. Lucky the club doesn't give up as easily as some supporters. :roll: Just as we did it without Max, we can do it without Milne, Baker or King. The world doesn't stop just because a few players retire, ffs. In case you haven't noticed, we've developing young players quite nicely. When...

Not unless he comes at a bargain trade. In hindsight he is just another flat track bully or one trick pony, which ever you prefer! I know he's lighting quick, but too often he seems perfectly capable of ripping crap teams to ribbons but does f**k all against real opposition - except when he plays us...
