Spending a week in solitary confinement affords one ample time to reflect and assess our clubs situation.
No point rehashing past events. What's done is done. If others want to apportion blame, or argue with hindsight or sack so and so, go for it, but not in this thread please.
This is about...
Time for a bit of nostalgia. We have traded in some shockers over the last 40 years. Name and shame please.
I'll start with:
Tony Francis
Monkhurst
Tony King (?)
Moncreiff
Flannagan
Scratcher Neale
Wacko Jacko
Rene Kink
Note: Trades only please.
Oh well, it's that time of the year again.
Wishing everyone and I do mean everyone a happy and safe Christmas break.
I realise we all have lives away from here and related challenges, so we sometimes get a bit cranky - some of us more than others.
But anyway, first world problems and all...
Some warranted concern yesterday. So I thought I'd throw this open to all you list analysers...
Not everything that GWS has touched has turned to gold in terms of their selections. Granted they have had access to an obscene amount of high draft picks, and look like raising the bar in terms of...
I know it's preseason etc and we love to discuss things.
But quite frankly, I don't care.
I don't care:
Which FA's we target
If Carlisle will behave
Who we trade
Who we delist
Who'll break out
When my membership pack arrives
What's included with my membership
Player ceilings
Who we...
If nothing else, it's been a roller coaster this year.
We have brought in some serious talent, and bid farewell to a club legend... but life goes on and there is much to look forward to in 2015.
With the trades, drafts etc all done and dusted, it's time for this mad Saints fan to wind down and...
Ok it's been a long year and we are only half way through it.
This is a follow on the the Who'll Make The Cut thread and I believe brings into focus where we are at as a list. I made the point that whilst we have some good honest triers, will they be good enough to lift us to a flag?
Here...
Ok, there is quite a bit of debate going on about who deserves a game and who should be tested at AFL level.
All very good arguments. So let's get a feel for the numbers...
Should we rotate players this year, not worry about results and pump games into them?
Or...
Do we make them bust down...
If nothing else, this rebuild is providing us with some exciting moments as we look forward with a new sense of optimism, fueled by a new coach and exciting recruits.
So it got me thinking - and I don't want this to sound negative - that eventually not all of our kids will make it. eventually...
One for all the armchair critics...
My wife and friend were doing their usual Monday morning walk along Black Rock beach and were accosted by club reps who were out promoting the club.
BAsically, here's what she came home with:
2 x Saints on the street BAYSIDE car stickers.
3 x Postage paid...
And so another year has come to an end. Drafts, trading, coaches... all done to death. Time for some fun.
Thought it would be fun to be a little nostalgic and test the memory. The method is simple: You ask a saints trivia question. whoever knows the answer, does so in a post, BUT they must...
I don't normally do this and I am sure that he will eventually post it here himself, but with all the negativity, I thought this needed to be done.
A few of us have been on here arguing the case against all the doom and gloom. There is another fan who goes by the name of Eastern. Eastern has...
How good was that? Does anyone know if it's available on DVD?
A whole different perspective with the past players input. I have watched the replay many times and felt oh well. But this really stirred me up. Many highlights. You just don't realise how much it means to them and how much...
One for the off season to lighten things up around here.
Just listened to McCarteny's speech at the rising Star Awards here: http://www.afl.com.au/video/2013-09-04/nab-rising-star-brendon-mccartney
He talks about being Footyfied and what that means. So ofr us mere mortals, I was thinking it...
OK, not looking for a definitive here, but we have seen most of our kids this year.
So this is more of a whom do you think we be part of our 22 next year? Obviously there will be gaps to be filled after the ND and trade week, but anyone want to take a stab on who they think will make it... and...
Don;t postthat much and there have probably been a few threads over the years... but how about that Jason Blake?
I just realised that he is about to play his 14th year. Most players don't mak it past 4 years, so it's a tribute to Joe that he has shown this longevity.
You know that you get...
In keeping with the tradition of off-season stupidity and in a futile atempt to kill some Fridee nite boredom, I declare the following...
If the sub rule was introduced in 2007 or 2008, Rob Harvey would still be playing and would have played in a few more grannies.
So my questions are...
Much has been written about our ageing core, with Lenny almost done (although I think he can play sub for a few more years), and Roo etc getting older.
Dal, Bj and Joey have a few years left, and Big Benny Mac is someone whom you can build a team around, along with Jumping Jack Stevens.
Not...
