Re: I Was Actually There : NickyWinmar’s Stand Against Racism

One of the very few games I attended at Collingwood's home ground. All I can remember is the abuse coming all match from the Collingwood supporters. I was standing only 5 metres away near the fence and had a clear view of Nicky pulling his guernsey up and point to his stomach. This was after the Pie...

Re: Keep Hayes

It's interesting that Hayes has not been officially delisted. The few times I saw him in action, I thought he stood up well. Would not be upset if he is given one last chance next year (assuming medically he is passed fit)

Re: Mock Draft

I don't know who we pick up but I feel a lot more confident seeing the past few years draft choices. Darcy Wilson was such a steal for me last year. I feel with a couple of good draft choices, we are a chance to win quite a few more games. My optimism is still there after following the Saints for ov...

Re: Saints memorabilia collection

The one piece I truly love is my 1966 memorabilia piece released by the club (early 2000s I think). It was exactly 66 pieces all numbered and has all the players photographs signed by them personally as well as a replica jumper signed by both Allan Jeans and Daryl Baldock. I still remember at the ti...

Broken Sandringham promise

I remember a lot written about closer links to Sandringham especially around taking on a player from the team. Well clearly that is not going to happen given the Saints have a full list. It makes me wonder whether this will deflate players there now knowing that they have gone back on what was said.

Re: Crows Chairman wants compensation

That poor decision could also cost us. Had Sydney lost, there would have been a small chance we lost 6th spot (home final) even if we lose against the Lions.

Re: Ross Lyon put saints back ten years by not playing youth

Perhaps I am missing something but to me, what new coaching strategies will Ross Lyon bring if he gets the gig. He reminds me a lot of John Longmire except he is determined to flood and defend to an even greater level. I think of how he coached and look at Geelong this year. We would have been lucky...

Re: Anybody have a Kayo subscription

I had Kayo for the first time last year as Foxtel became ridiculously expensive. I subscribe at the start of March and turn it off in October so don't pay a full year. It cost me $25 a month. I enjoy Kayo as I like both watching our matches (of course) but when my nerves kick in badly, I might switc...

Re: Seating

With now 75% capacity announced for this game up to 43000 people can attend. I did like the system when I went to get my tickets, the system told me how many people were in front of me and told me it was my turn very quickly. When you're an old bloke like me, that's good :D

Surprised by merchandise offers for Saints members

Perhaps I am missing something but I had a look on line to see what was on offer for the merchandise vouchers they give out for joining. I really thought it was a very limited variety. Unless I am not clicking on the right buttons, I was hoping to use my vouchers to purchase a nice 2021 scarf.

I have purchased reserved level 1 seats (wing) for 2 Adults & 2 kids last week. I am somewhat curious as to the following: 1. The system didn't ask me which names the tickets should go into (given it's been some years since I was a member, I can recall at the time they put names on the membershi...

Paddy McCartin

I know there have been quite a few threads around Paddy (the search function came up with over 3000 mentions). However my question is around given we delisted him, if Paddy puts his name forward for the 2021 draft does it mean he is chosen when any club has the opportunity dependant upon their draft...

Re: All in 5 good acquisitions at a reasonable trade cost

I have two questions after all the trades

1. Do we actually have any draft picks this year?
2. I thought you had to have minimum draft picks each year

Update on Paddy McCartin

I tried to do a search (not one of my strong abilities) but was wondering what the outcome of Paddy McCartin's trip to the USA resulted in. I simply haven't seen how successful or otherwise it proved to be.

I am sure someone on this board is all over it and able to report the latest

Tickets v Carlton

I don't get to the footy often but four of us want to attend this Sunday's game. Is it possible to purchase tickets with a seat on Level 1 somewhere around the wing? I went to Ticketmaster and pretty much the only tickets they are offering are behind the goals or near that. I also went to the St Kil...

My prized possession sits in the lounge room. One of the 1966 fully signed Saints premiership pieces the club brought out (66 of them for $1966 each from memory).
