I was staying up late to watch the game, and got really drunk and blacked out about 15 minutes into the game last night. Is it worth watching it? or should I just skip it and be glad we won?

I think the crowd has a lot to do with causing the umpires to make poor decisions. I personally don't believe they are corrupt or that the match was fixed, but that the umps caved to the pressure of the feral Collingwood supporters.

I'm still so upset about that game. Although in a weird way i'm happy that i got so riled up about the game. As an American who just recently became a Saints fan, it's nice to know I care enough about the team to get so angry at that game. I've only been a fan for a short time, but I really love thi...

man do I hate Collingwood.

SAAD!

Even though i've only been watching AFL for two years, and am an American...even I can tell this umpire is horrible.

Nice effort tornateo. I'll be doing the same to watch the olympics. Been up since 3.30 this morning myself. Love it 5:30 in New York, I bet the Waldorf never heard this kind of language emanating from one of their rooms before!!! Theyll get over it, keep yelling! I'm having to do quiet yells as eve...

Great quarter for the Saints! Glad we're ahead, I woke up at 3:30 for this game! Hope we can hold on!

Welcome aboard Tornateo!!!! I can't believe that no one has mentioned Lenny in this thread!!!!! Lenny Hayes is the life and soul of our great club and it is a privilege to watch him play every week! There is not a player or supporter of our great game that does not admire or love Lenny Hayes!!!!! I...

There's one channel that shows a few games a week, but mostly I use a few websites to watch games. There's an AFL site that costs $20 a month, but has every game, offers replays and such.

Well, I don't know about the other states, but I know Arizona is *relatively* big into footy. There are a few leagues in Arizona alone. The nearest team is all the way in Phoenix, though, which is 6 hours away... I can attest that footy is not popular in Idaho. Closest team is in Colorado, about 11...

Here's a question, so as a new fan I've been reading up about the team, and history, and famous players and such but was wondering do the Saints have a major rival? I'm assuming we hate Collingwood (since pretty much everyone does!) But I was just wondering if there are any other rivals I should kno...

Also, I just watched the clip on You Tube of Eric Bana from Funny People, as many people on here have recommended. Cracked me up haha.

A few people were asking a little bit about me so I just thought i'd kind of introduce myself. I live in Idaho, it's in the North Western part of the US. There aren't any NFL teams in my state, or close by (No professional teams at all actually) So I just had to choose a team. I have been a fan of t...

Also, I've been watching Saints matches from this year all night. Currently watching the Round 9 game against the Swans. Milne is fun to watch!

tell you what - you become a saints fan and I will personally mail you a scarf and a cap. HOWEVER - remember that this single choice, more than any other you will make, is for life . Good, bad or indifferent. I'm a fan! For good or bad. Even if we take a horrible turn like the Demons have this year...

Welcome Tornateo. :D I agree with all the other posters on this. Looking at your field of choices... our jumper is the best in the league, Hawthorn's was designed by the other (and little known) Marx brother, Skid. Footsray's jumper is IMHO, at best, boring... like the club. St Kilda has been descr...

You wonderful person!

Hawthorn is just too successful for me to decide to be a fan of Well if non-success is a prerequisite, StKilda will be perfect, welcome!!! You should have a look at a couple of our better games this year to get a taster… rounds 7, 9 & 15 were very good… Can you watch the videos on here? http://...

Out of interest, have you posted on the Hawks and Dogs boards for them to plead a case too? I have a friend who is a Dogs supporter, and he tried to sell me on his team (but I didn't want to pick a team purely because he told me to) So I started looking into mulitple teams. I did post on a Hawks fo...

Reality is (IMO) that a lot of these guys would be considered douches by the general public… Just like in the NFL or NBA… sports stars don't always make great people. Milne has had the ongoing circus of that alleged incident for 8 years which doesn't help his reputation one bit. (the case has final...

I'm leaning towards the Saints. I've always liked watching them play. didn't know that the Dogs might not be around for long, also didn't know about Hawthorne being a richer/snobby area...plus that whole conservative thing just doesn't jive with me. I've got a question though, I've heard Milne is a ...

Hahaha actually I really liked that fact that St. Kilda are kind of an underdog. And I like their colors. And my uncle actually lives in St. Kilda lol not that that matters all that much, but it's kind of like a connection to the club lol

Hey all, i'm an AFL fan from the states, and have decided its time I pick a team to follow. I've been a footy fan for three or four years now, and have kind of floated around between a few teams I enjoyed watching but I want to pick a team now and follow them. Started out looking at all the teams, b...
