Saint Jump....Check your spelling......there/their....were/where....

so your post makes sense....

where did I get my info from.....

I was 5m from the finish line.....

Clinton Jones finished second LAST in his group, and was being urged to not drop off the back....so not sure HOW he finished 4th overall??????

Colm begley led his group (included Eddy) for most of the trial, until L.Fisher passed him with 50m to go....Eddy was 20m back....

I was one of only five supporters THERE
Two were sitting in the seats, one guy who was on his phone the whole time, and one sitting at the entrance......

Geary did not even win his group..... although he was up THERE with Blake/Ray..

Believe it or not Marto you are one of the best posters regarding the youngsters and fringe players on here in my opinion.


Almost every time I have been at a seconds match I have seen you there and I am sure you put plenty of time and effort into the thoughts you have on football and the Sainters.

I have very rarely doubted your opinions on here, only your position on drafting on one celebrated occasion. You answered that in a fair and comprehensive way which i thought was fair.

Now whats your address so that Xmas card gets there. :roll:

Thanks for the report BTW. I also try to get to training but haven't been able to do so for about two years.

P.S. - Good news that Dempster is running laps. Mabye we may see a second half season return from him.


Lance or James??

Thanks BM for a fantastic report !
From a dedicated sainter old fart now resigned to my lovely recluse in the bush i really appreciate your efforts here M8
Confirms my predictions for the blossoming BJ ....if we can give him bulk time midfield he'll win the Brownlow in a canter!!
Hopefully 2009 will be HIS year! and the Saints!
He's just gotta keep a lid on it, though hell , I'd hesitate to tell him and you'd wish that quite a few more had a bit of what this bloke shows.....

anyway great stuff and its really appreciated by those who'd love to be there but cant, an I'm really looking forward to next season

McEvoy walks around like a 40+ year old who bowled 25 overs the day before...he limps and looked stiff and sore...

but when he was running he appeared to move well for a boy of his size....

JB - only extracting the urine, I take nothing personal when debating footy.....

And

enough thanks......It was my pleasure reporting training from my point of view.....it was nothing, and i'll do it again in the summer months, whilst on holidays.... :)

Hey Mart I just noticed I put a :roll: instead of a :wink: in my previous post.

I did get your joke and understanding you were taking the piss. Trouble with this dang internet thingy a wrong emoticon can give the whole post a different slant.

I'll try again.

Nopw what your address for that Xmas card :wink: :wink: (Yay got it right this time :D )

Yes, closed......and I felt uncomfortable being there, I swear I got some dirty looks....I was actually waiting for someone to ask me to leave (which I would have).....

But I have limited opportunities, so I go when I can...

I still missed Lynch.......damn it... :x
