I think the bumper stickers look pretty good to. Happy to have one on my car - anyone got a spare one cos I'll be changing my car over soon!!

Pretty good overall.
Thought there was a bit too much of Roo in the early part.
Enjoyed the former years and Nicky but they left out the shot of him bare-chesting the Filth in front of their stand.

BUT

I have a family membership.
So they sent
4 envelopes
4 stamps
4 covering letters
4 DVDs

Surely it is not too hard to work out that 4 members in a family membership with the same mailing address do not require 4 of everything (apart from membership cards, stickers, pins and fixtures).

Surely one bigger envelope would have been cheaper ?

At least I have 3 backup DVDs !

got mine today too.....and the missus's...all in the one envelope though

to me that seems to be common sense...

never understood why our family needs to be sent a) 3 different envelopes, and b) at 3 completely different times...

seems a sensible way to save money would be to send all the packages within one family in the same delivery.

Good call Viking and Doggerel - the Baldock footage is to be celebrated. The man was about 5' 8" and dominated CHF. He could RJFFPABRAB (Run, jump, f***, fight push a barrow ride a bike).

AA captain, AA v-c, a dead set freak. Extraordinary man. The Barack Obama of the 60's. Brought so many together. People just loved him. Honest, forthright, decent, and by f*** could he drink. Lovely family (struck by tragedy). Just a great, great sportsman.

And in his stroke riddled dotage, he has the great sense and appreciation to say he still loves watching St.Kilda play, and mostly because of the joy he gets from watching Rob Harvey (he actually said a couple of years ago that he thought Rob was the finest footballer this club had had - and he speaks from a position of strength). The 2 greatest St.Kilda footballers. Skilled, devoted, decent men. What a pair on which to base a legacy. Proud to just follow 'em.

Yeah good DVD, I get the feeling that this will be a yearly thing because they left out quite a bit of footage that you thought would have been in there, very very very little on Harvey....

Just in case you didn't notice there are a couple of wallpapers on the dvd, including a Gram one for you Ric

They look pretty good IMO...

As for Baldock, he really was a freak wasn't he, he would be lost in todays games though, he would have to learn how to drop punt and he would constantly get pinged for dropping the ball in a tackle....

I'm always amazed when I think about how many truly great players our club has had considering the very little team success we've had...

Harvey
Stewert
Baldock
Winmar
Lockett
Barker
Jesalenko
Burke
etc. etc.

The old footage was great.
Watching the Doc twisting and turning in the mud but never losing his feet was just magical.

But I was disappointed there wasn't more highlights of 2007.
Where was Fraser kicking the chair ?

I was hoping for a week by week highlights package.
But I guess that is too much to hope for free.

Though when you think about it, there would be demand from paying fans for the production of a quality season highlights package.
Then to give it away for free to early-bird subscribers would be a huge marketing incentive.
Could have us reaching 20,000 by Xmas.

Jesaulenko?

Does not belong in that list. He played about 20 games for the Saints and was well past his prime

They actually changed the rule about dropping the ball in a tackle mostly because of Baldock.

I think it was more because of Bartlett.
That was his favourite trick and milked him hundreds of frees.

Why didnt they include Vossys mark in the great marks?

great Dvd, nice thought by the club

When I was growing up in the seventies I was told it was because of Baldock (mind you, I grew up in a one eyed Saints household

But he's not good enough to make the WA Sunday Times top 50 VFL/AFL list!

yeh kind of wrong to have him in an elite group of st kilda players like that. thats kind of like having winmar in a group of great bulldogs players when he was great for us.

The Brisbane game, 2004 was great! That team was so good when everyone was fit and firing.

Fraser's mullet was awesome too.

I quite liked the highlights shown at our home games last year. They should have put that on the dvd too.

nathan000 · Post: # 523370Post **nathan000** » Sun 24 Feb 2008 9:57pm

i was surprised they didn't have highlights of harvs. it was great watching the game against brisbane, that was my favourite part of the dvd. i still can't believe they called aussies kick a point, definitely not complaining about it though.

milney044 · Post: # 523706Post **milney044** » Mon 25 Feb 2008 5:15pm

haha thanks for that sb...done

the disc says wallpapers are available when the dvd is put through the pc...im just blind and cant find them

RoseInOz · Post: # 523711Post **RoseInOz** » Mon 25 Feb 2008 5:23pm

Put the dvd in the dvd drive. Don't play it, just go to "My computer", right click on the drive icon and left click "Open". I have the one of Harvs on my desktop at the moment.

GRAMophone · Mon 25 Feb 2008 10:19pm

Yes, we've enjoyed the DVD. Great to relive some of the Brisbane game which would rate as one of my all time most exciting. Wondered if Harves didn't feature as heavily as his highlights probably had lots of exposure recently with his testimonial etc.

I picked up my scarf from the club last week and it's not too shabby at all.

ttufc7 · Post: # 523808Post **ttufc7** » Mon 25 Feb 2008 10:51pm

Yeah picked up my scarf and social club hat this morning. Good quality gear.........Was surprised to see that their are actually 3 different hats.

All 3 are the same hat but have different writing on the sides
