Vics gone! Well, we're behind, and I am a Saints supporter.

They wanted us to pay $12!

Are the Pussies the favorites for the flag? If not, get on them.

Skills - except kicking for goal! Where's Peter Mckenna?

When do we play WC?

Skills aplenty for the White team. Vics need the old grunt!

Crowd? Not good - about 53,000.

I hope no-one gets injured - maybe a one week niggle for Collingwood players, a two week niggle for Brisbane players, a three week niggle for.........

Mate it is attitudes like yours that has resulted in mediocrity at this club. We should never be happy with mediocrity... On the other hand, Norman Vincent Peale once said: "There is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment." Perhaps Solar's...

Nick Dal Santo has played the most consecutive games currently for the Saints with 109. If you are like me, you may be surprised to learn that Steven Milne is next with 45 games. Then, thanks to the injury to the other Nick (who was on 27), you have to go to 23 games for Samuel Fisher. It is interes...

No rules like that now, although in the "old days" there were.

... 1978 was like 2004, the year that got away from us. Essendon and the media absoluately crucified us that year. We came home strong, had beaten all the teams above us if I remember correctly and if Fitzroy had of beaten the Cats we would have been in the 8. We made the 8, unfortunately at that t...

There is no doubt that footy assumes a greater role in some people's lives than others. Clearly, I am one of those. Sport, in any form, represents some of the baser instincts of humans. But once when killing by the the most gruesome means satiated human desire for identification and superiority, spo...

Sorry, couldn't be bothered reading all the crap that might have been written on this thread. Here are the facts, OK OK , my version of the facts. 1. In any draft year, the difference between No 1 and No 10 ( or more) is largely driven by media hype than anything else. An opinion, repeat, opinion, b...

Plugger was a classic case of a champion in an ordinary team. Bull. The team (note team) in 1991 was good enough to win the flag. An elbow to Nathan Burke's head by the "great " Gary Ablett ruined that outcome. Had plugger "stayed the course" till 1997 with the Saints, who knows...

In the 13 games he was goaless, in how many of these games did the team in which he played win? I know he kicked 12 one day in a loss.

No. Didn't play in the seniors that I recall anyway.

It's his shoulder. Saintsational Man quoted: "What's the difference between a hero and a coward? Nothing! There both scared of getting hurt or dying, but it’s what the hero does that makes him the hero, its what the coward doesn't do, that makes him the coward." And the former usually fi...

We just like to give everybody a go.

I have never met him, but he has always seemed like a fine young man to me. I sincerely wish that he regains his health so that he can live a normal life. If he is able to play footy again, well and good.

Other than that, we're a good side!

Doesn't say much for at least eight other teams.

One of the most important posts of the century. NOT! There is only one thing more pathetic than someone posting this topic, that's me reading it!

Go Saidherttns!

Lenny dropped? In that case, Nick should be dropped too, either that or he develops a shoulder problem. Whoops, he's got that already! Once the AFL was formed, designed to guarantee interstate premierships six out of every seven years, there was no case for interstate games, whatever they are called...

It is generally accepted that ruckmen take at least five years to become an overnight sensation. And if you play them too soon, the longevity risks, already apparent for usually more robust but smaller on ballers eg Ball, Judd, etc., will be significant. As a number of posters have said, drafting a ...

04 and 05? 06 and 07 were pretty good too!

I repeat, it was an act calculated to injure - which it did.

It would be nice to know how and when he broke it. In particular, whether it was another injury related to his broken leg, which I think is what they said about his first foot problem.
