Re: Dermie Suggesting Senior Players Running Club
I said similar last year. Roo and Joey IMO, gave the club a "him or me" stance with Watters. They acted on that, and there is no coming back from it.... Ross gave the seniors too much love, Scott not enough, now Richo probably too much again. What's irrelevant though, is derms motive, cle...

Re: Where does the Viney decision leave us?
I think I am immune to incorrect decisions by the AFL Tribunal. This one doesn't bother me in the least. Schneider got a week for winding someone a couple of weeks ago. Now I know it was made worse by a bad record, but my argument is that it should not have been even viewed by the match review panel...

Re: Forum Makeover - TOPIC RE-OPENED FOR REVIEW
Still no 'response' from the owner? Surely they could pop in and give us an update if they love the site so much and cannot bear to part with any control of it....??

Re: Match Thread: Saints v Bombers
Tipped this win. Bombers coming back from Perth and missing BJ, they were always going to struggle and their suspect forward line was exposed. BJ seems to 'be' Essendon at the moment. Face of the club and their MOST important player. Can't see them winning against any of the top teams if he does not...

Re: No one likes losing but,
Couldn't agree more with 3rd Generation Saint and the other comments on this topic, very happy with the progress and direction of the club over the last 6 months. However, while I'm at it I want to give Dermott Brereton a spray; great footballer he is nothing more than a media flog thesedays. He to...

Re: No one likes losing but,
That game bites. It really bites. I expected us to win this (and tipped us to) and we lost a game that should have been ours. I don't view it was an honourable loss. I feel it was a chance we let slip by. Blast!!! Still frustrated about it this morning...... I know we have some young kids and I do s...

Re: New CEO
Anderson was interim CEO of cycling Australia and this is to finish this month.
Excellent appointment if true. Good relationship with the AFL and knows the inner workings of the AFL. Couldn't ask for a better CEO!!!!!!
Top marks Saints if true.

Re: How about this for an idea?
I am actually surprised with the media to be honest. I expected a hell of a lot worse than what we have received so far. The only really scathing attack was from Brereton and I was chuckling to myself when I listened to it. Nothing more or less than you would expect from a loyal friend. My favourite...

Bugger, this is hard.
Mark, I am sorry.
Your treatment of Caro and Patrick was still poor. Perhaps you should try apologising to them also. It can be cathartic.....LOL

Not overly upset or surprised. Surely any one listening or reading the media in the last couple of months could not be surprised by this?

Not opposed to this. He would come pretty cheaply and in his hey day, he was one of the best (2010 he was the difference between the 2 teams and he was brilliant and for most of 2010 if there was no Jolly, Collingwood would never have been as dominant as they were as became evident in 2011 when his ...
