Re: Update on Paddy, Stevens, Roberton

What a Tueasday. Plus we signed Clark and Coffield until the end of 2021. We can't take a trick at the moment. Robbo goes down with a mystery heart lapse, Bruce has had some weird back problem flare up, Membrey's knee did the same and Steven's has actually had concussion since the JLT and Rd 1. The...

Re: ‘Re-recorded’ club song

Just found this online. All of the new club songs. They all sound pretty terrible to me.
Have a listen, ours starts at the 22:30 mark.



Compare that to our old one.

‘Re-recorded’ club song

At the game and just heard our newly re-recorded club song for the first time. And I hate it. Struggling to describe it but it lacks a bit of ‘grunt’. I guess you could say lacks the deep beat we could clap along to. Anyone else here have any thoughts? I had forgotten it has bean re-recorded until I...

Re: 50 years of Full Backs and our best was?

Certainly not our best but worth a mention in this conversation as one of the stop gaps. The G train was actually quite handy as a full back in his early days at the Saints, would have been interesting had he not moved forward to see how he developed as a key back.

Re: Josh Battle!

From what I have read he is completing year 12 this year. Does anyone know what his training commitments are? I imagine school takes priority so his ability to train with the main group would be limited with exception of school holidays.

Re: No Match on Saturday Arvo?

No more saturday afternoon footy on FTA.
In most rounds channel 7 only have the rights to do Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, however they then also get to have all the extra 'marquee' such as the opening Thursaday night game, Anzac day, queens birthday etc etc.

Re: Will Richo be targeted???

Didn't Malthouse leave West Coast mid contract to return to Victoria for Family reasons? Then magically appear as the Collingwood coach not long after.

I think he would have been the last to switch clubs mid contract.

Re: Third man up gone

3rd man up was quite often used to clear congestion around the stoppage. I can see there being multiple stoppages in a row next year being unable to be cleared.

Re: Guess The Crowd: Saints vs. GWS shafted timeslot special

Out of the three Sunday time slots the 1:10 definitely gets my tick.
Hate with a passion the 4:40 Sunday slots, get home too late for a Sunday night (yep i must be getting old).
3:20 is Ok but would much prefer it be back to 2:10.

Re: Etihad likely to be liable re AstroTurf going to boundar

The fake grass has only been extended to the boundary line behind the goals and at the interchange gates. These area are the high traffic areas and as such wear a lot more quickly.

It's basically a cost saving measure so they don't need to replace the turf.

Scary to see players like Dangerfield and Hannebery in that side. The impact they are having for their teams is massive and it makes it feel like that have been around a lot longer and are a lot older than what they really are.

Hate 4:40pm Sunday, closely followed by the 'Day' game at 3:20 Sunday and 4:40pm Saturday.

More day games would be nice. Maybe 8-9 days games and the rest night and no twilight.

GWS were originally scheduled to play at 7:40pm at Skoda stadium which is right next to ANZ stadium where the soccer is being held. The AFL switched the GWS game to a day game to avoid the clash and so had to move a day game to night so that broadcasters still had games in the right time slots, as s...

I didn't see the full interview and have only see glimpses of what he said so can someone please confirm for me what Jobe actually said.

Was it something along the lines of "I believe I took a banned substance" or was it more factual like "I did take a banned substance"
