Haven't posted for a long time but still occassionally visit to keep up to speed.To be honest serial pests like one with 23000 posts and who is full of self importance and constantly highjack threads puts me off a bit.Still some good posters here keeps me coming back!

My sister met him at a saints game a few years ago and said the guy was incredibly passionate during and after the game which we won.Saint Eric it is

The silver lining ..no doubt

I feel and share your pain Red

Good on you Pat ....It's hard after yesterday but we must stick together long term

this!

Feel your pain Patrick.I'm drinking for the first time in 6 months.Wish it was a happy drink!!

Can see why we won in 66.Would definately let the boys watch that

There is no doubt that Collingwoods entire structure is based on our frontal pressure game and that Ball has certainly played his part.Hope he is not rewarded for this.

That first forward thrust can set up the mindset for the whole day.Trying to overuse the ball when nerves are at their peak can be fatal.Get it forward quickly and anything can happen.

I,m not one for omens generally but there is a definite feeling of vengence in the air.Goddards expression at the Brownlow said to me that the boys will die trying .

It was the adversity we overcame that made this win exceptional.
We have a very special team that can achieve anything from here.

Ross Lyon's comment was along the lines that if he was so bad would I be smiling-think there is a general feeling its a standard hammy but nothing more-fingers crossed.Great win in the meantime.

Me too Taz..happy night!

I have been following the club for many years and in years past we would not of won that game.

We have something very special in place with the coaching staff and just the sheer character of the players.

I also shed a tear tonight Pat.

We are in in great shape to give it a real shake.

Saw you back here for the first time in ages.Hope you had a good day yesterday .Catch up for a beer soon!

My mother is 83 in two weeks.She remembers 66 well and said she and dad were partying till the wee hours that night in parkdale.I asked her how she felt about Saturday and she said"a bit pissed off to be honest".

true story!!!.

Lets face it . We will all be still pissed off until we win the bloody thing :x That should erase the bitter taste of 09. Yes we will be pissed until we win the thing, but when we win next years flag it will be great but wont eliminate the bitter feeling of thei year It will be our second flag, not...

That should erase the bitter taste of 09.

Feels like a life sentence in jail was about to be overuled, but just as I was stepping outside into freedom,I got dragged back in and told they will re-evaluate me in 12 months time with no guarantee. F#ck it That sums up the feeling very well Jonesy.Not that I have done time but in sense we are a...

Marion and I will be at the Celtic club as always.Have been to 6 grandfinals the best being 89.The most disapointing 71 against the Hawks.Worse than 97 should have nailed that one.Enjoy guys.Hope you have the time of your lives.

Can just picture that Pat.Myself and Marion even did the watootsy after the final siren.Knowing your dad he would have been smiling and still is.
The sort of win that wins flags and makes us dance even when we have had a knee replacement.Feeling no pain I can assure you

Had a bullgog mate leave a message for me just after the game...how good is Riewoldt and good luck next week...class act...they were more than brave...they could have been us

Make it count saints

Ok.Past my bedtime and have had enough of the doomdayers.Stay positive everyone.The saints will be there when the whips are cracking

Daryl Wakelin[ex sainter] said on SEN that he had good mail that Max's Hamstring is fine and the club were just being ultra conservative.

Will be in strong consideration for September no doubt.
