I'm sure after the last two weeks this is at the forefront of everyone's mind. Here are some stats: St Kilda currently leads the league in behinds with 40 goals 54 behinds for the season over 3 games, 12 more than the next 'best' team on 42. Our current differential of +14 behinds is...

The current record for most All Australian guernseys stands at 8, shared by Ablett jnr, Robert Harvey and Mark Ricciuto. Discounting the fact the Ablett may well come back and end up with 9 or 10: In light of last nights AA team selection which current players are a chance to break the record...

Absolute howler of a decision to let him off. Even the sock puppets at AFL.com.au were baffled by this one. I suspected they might go easy but to dismiss the charges sends a terrible message. Official line is: "it was the view of the panel that Shuey was seeking to spoil and his actions were...

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/st-kilda-forward-justin-koschitzke-says-he-cant-remember-enjoying-football/story-fni5f9q3-1226694551230 Couldn't find a thread on this anywhere. Very interesting albeit sad news. I actually remember reading an article years ago where Kosi admitted to...

Just a quick thread to judge the optimism/pessimism of Saints fans about the (near) future. When will we contend again? I would define contend for the purposes of this thread as being top 4 and a genuine premiership threat (i.e. not us in 2008) This is more to judge where most supporters...

Not sure if this has been done, couldn't find anything in a search. Anyway, was discussing with a mate last night which two players would combine to make the best player? Would it be possible to create a player without weakness? Anyway I was pretty bored today, came up with a few: Lenny...

I'm assuming the Australia A team/squad hasn't been released anywhere, otherwise it'd make this thread a bit pointless. Anyway Aus A play an England XI 5 days before the first test, and even though England have said they'll play a second string pace attack it could still be a good platform for...

Surely this year has to be the best chance a Saints had since Harves was in his prime in the late 90's. 4 AA midfielders (counting Goddard) and we should get s**t loads of votes as a team. Who does everyone reckon will win? Who do we hope to win? Who did we bet on? Personally I think...

someone get that on youtube right now! highlight of the season :thumbsu:

was he injured, or just omitted? couldn't figure it out from what I've read, cheers

is Father's Day always scheduled on the first week of finals? :( whoever is responsible for this should be sacked Had almost forgotten about it, had all the plans ready to watch the game with mates but then I remembered. Twice in a row I'll miss out on the saints game and have to rely on score...

Riewoldt, Milne, Hayes, Dal Santo, Montagna, Gilbert, Goddard Only one who was unlucky to miss was Fisher, had a down year but still been good and shits on Mackie, Fletcher, Maxwell and the like. Of the squad members I expect all except Milne to make it (who is lucky to be in the squad in the...

bit bored thought I'd give this a crack. my definition of best is a combination of current and (recent) past form, and assuming no injuries Adelaide: 1. Nathan Bock 2. Bernie Vince 3. Scott Thompson 4. Jason Porplyzia 5. Tyson Edwards unlucky: Goodwin, Rutten, Tippet and Johncock. Brisbane...

I will be shocked if they don't at least make the grand final. I think they'll fly under the radar a bit going into next week, seeing as all the interest will be on the Hawks/Bombers game whilst they merely brushed aside Freo and according to some 'experts' they are gone, or heading that way...

I am biased cause Robbo is one of my all time favourite players, but I really think he would be a good pick up. The only thing missing from our structure over the past few years has been a medium forward who can take attention away from Riewoldt and Koschitzke and kick goals. Gwilt has his...

possibly gonna end up the toughest night for selection all year with these bullshit suspensions definite outs: Koschitzke (don't reckon he would've played anyway) possible outs: Dawson, Eddy, McEvoy possible ins: Gardiner, Ball, Hudghton (all definite if fit), Gwilt, Maguire, Lynch assuming we...

would be pretty tight up the top with 7 rounds to go. who do reckon will win it? his performance on the weekend doesn't fill me with confidence, but I reckon Lenny. My tip from the Saints for the Brownlow too.

might be getting neglected in the light of St Kilda's season, but the ashes are back! (how good would it be if saints won the flag and aus won the ashes btw? perfect sporting year) Early days yet, but I'm ready to make some calls already: 1. those of you who have been watching may have noticed...

Terrible, Terrible player. How you can be as experienced as he is and bowl that stupidly amazes me. Let us pray that this is the last time he is ever selected before Hilfy for anything. Even his missus overlooked him for selection, surely Boony and co. will do likewise.

Anyone seen this? Got on there today and submitted my squad for a bit of fun. Couple of very minor issues: 1. Does Daniel Kerr deserve to be there? Considering they mentioned the player must have been AA since 2000 to be considered, here are midfielders with more AA selections in that time...

Can't believe there was no thread on this. Lenny Hayes, possibly the most underrated midfielder of the last decade, one of the best players as well as one of the most courageous and tough to ever play for the Saints, plays his 200th this week against Brisbane. We better bloody get up for him...

Quick question for older bigfooty members. Just wondering who was the highest profile player to be dropped, without injury being any issue whatsoever. And also earlier in their career when they're young doesn't count, more thinking after they've established themselves as elite players...

Maybe not worth it's own thread but for me the best part about tonight's game was: After Dogs supporters being on my case all pre-season about how s**t Ray is, how soft he is, hwo s**t his disposal is, how stupid a trade it was etc. etc. not only does he step it up this season from round 1 but...

I realise that 2-4 isn't a season ending position, but I reckon it'll end up being that for the losing side. Both sides have lost matches they really shouldn't so far, and have a tough couple of weeks afterwards so a lot is on the line and I think the loser will suffer a lot. Personally I...

...or is their midfield not that bad? Was thinking earlier C: Davey McDonald Green Ruck Rover: McLean Rover: Bruce Dunn okay as a tagger, Jones and Morton decent young guns... well okay it lacks depth. But still, I look at that starting 5 and think surely that's not wooden spoon material...

Quick, pointless poll. For me Hayes was just overtaken by Fisher last season next in line Goddard, Hudghton and Montagna (in order) But I predict Goddard will win this poll

I think he is. I, like many, was not a huge fan of his on field but ever since I have grown to love the man. I find myself agreeing with everything he says, not only with regards to the way the games being played but also in regards to the umpiring of games, as a recently retired player he...

Yeah there was a poll like this last season, and if I remember correctly Koschitzke won comfortably which is, in retrospect, both funny and upsetting :thumbsd: But yeah I guessing Riewoldt will s**t it in this time but it'd be interesting to see if anyone has any alternate opinions and the...

Is there a better day in the year? I think not. Well maybe Grand Final day if the Saints made it, but otherwise no. It's like Christmas for me, I'm starting to lose sleep over it already I'm that excited. So what does everyone have planned for the great day (I imagine the words barbecue...

Bit late, but perhaps we can discuss the upcoming games here as well? Anyway tonight was a surprisingly entertaining game, I'm not a fan of T20 but this game really has it's moments. My thoughts: - David Warner is our future ODI opener. Saw him destroy Tassie with 160 odd earlier this year...
