It is the punters St.Fid - they have been heavily backed by the big punters out there resulting in us being the most popular choice for the 2008 flag.
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Tell the truth yipper !!
This BIG punter you talk of is yourself. I heard that you put the loose change that fell out of your pockets on the saints or was it all the graft you received from umpiring the forum match? !!

I have no comment to make!! That rumour is totally scurrillous. My lawyer - Mr David Galbally (legal aid of course!!) will be in touch...

i think it has more to do with our odds being fairly good and the turn around of geelong after a few years in the 8 then one out then flag
punters are creatures of habbit they like to think the same scenario plays out each year just the teams change hence the odd occourance of a bottom 8 team in the top 4 the next year phenominon

Without a ball being bounced some stupid people are
piling cash on us
Its like asking where we will finish, will we win the flag, who will be our top players, i reckon so and so will win a Charlie, are we top 8 or 4 whos likely to shine etc etc etc

Remember it's "I" not "i" and full stops are handy!

04/05/06 were pre-season premiers
04/05/06 were wrecked by injury to a large extent. also, back then, we didn't have a ruck division. now we have one and can afford to play kosi forward.
thought it was very interesting that leading bookmakers seem keen on us
So they should be IMO. I feel more confident this year of a flag than any other! I thought our game plan towards the end of last season was promising, and even though we were hampered with injuries, it was producing positive results.
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!
