Re: disjointed statements- article

What about this one same article ... "On his arrival he found two groups. The experienced leaders. The stars of the club. The men who’d been so close." Isn't that 3 groups . ? Terrible article all round . I actually think that is 3 sentences describing the one group, I think the author di...

Re: Cheap Stats from Kick-outs - Montagna singled out

The kick in stats for a point are traditionally not counted. Why? Probably because the kicks were not earned. But they are usually taken by a player with good disposal skills and good decision making. Contrast this with the free kick for out on the full - all you have to be is near where the ball we...

Re: Mark Fine

I don't think anyone can justify the type of rants Mark Fine has publicly made - absolutely destroying the credibility of the club and ruining next year's membership numbers
How he can call himself a supporter is beyond me. Assassin is closer to the mark

Re: GOOD FRIDAY FOOTY !!

I am keen to see this happen. If the Saints can own Good Friday - make it a Marquee match against a regular opponent (some have suggested Melbourne which would fit somewhat with the religious theme) and the day will always be a Friday (as opposed to ANZAC day which each year is on a different day).

Re: Why does Siposs play, yet Ledger can't get a game?

I'm not sure that Leder is very good. He gets a good number of possessions but his disposal is awful. His man number 40 was the oppositions most damaging player and Ledger was useless at stopping him. I can see why he is not selected. Do yourself a favour - look up the best 6 players in each match t...

Re: Why 'punish the club'?

What's the point of punishing Essendon? Who are you really punishing? In reality, it's the fans that get hurt by it. If a company does something wrong, granted they may be fined as a punishment - but generally it's the board that gets sent to jail. Obviously the extent of the punsihment varies, but...

Re: Has anyone heard any rumours regarding an investigation

Thread bumped due to recent inuendo from Dean Robinson about Collingwood.

We were indeed fortunate. If I recall correctly Essendon had been caught systematically cheating the salary cap between 1992 and 1996 and were punished - one component of that punishment meant that they could not hang onto Milne in 1999 (I think). The Saints reserves had been beaten by Essendon rese...

I think a lot of people here are being disrespectful of the relationship we have with Sandringham. This coming season is the first in a new era of real co-operation. If it turns out to be a failure for both parties (and especially the Saints) then we should look into fielding a stand alone reserves ...
