Re: Decribe the saints in 3 words or less..
How the hell are we lucky to come back from 6 goals down, not to mention a dodgy arse goal given to the Roos, which stopped all our momentum!?

Re: Decribe the saints in 3 words or less..
That was the first half...
Amazing what happens when Lyons original game plan doesn't work, and he instructs players to play on and run the ball at all costs!
Players know where the ball is going and can time their runs at it. None of this lateral and backwards movement then unexpectedly sitting it on the forwards heads. How much did it bring Kosi into the game late when he knew we were streaming down the field and honoring leads?
All in all a great win, however if we play like we did in the first half, directed to play that way or not, we won't get close to the top sides in the comp. But lets enjoy the win while we have it guys!!

Re: Decribe the saints in 3 words or less..
The thread title invited response....did it not??......Isn't that what these threads are about?......And it also tells me that if we say ANYTHING against the club, (which mine wasn't meant to be) it will be deleted......not very democratic....I sometimes post on Saints board, as my husband is a Saint supporter........I always post his opinion....my post in this particular thread is EXACTLY how he sees the team he has barracked for (and his parents before him) for the last 50+ years........and you see fit to delete it because you didn't like me posting it....I wasn't abusive, apparently just a different opinion to you..

Re: Ben McEvoy
Junks posts? Good to see NH contributions in the right thread then.
Non football related observation, so thought I'd put this in here with the above *yawn* interesting viewpoint.
I've seen quite a few of the Dexter episodes *coming soon* I was gunna mention from some angles the blood spatter expert strikes more than a passing resemblance to our very own Roo. Same strong brow line, etc & if Dex threw in a few blonde tips, they could pass as twins - apart from the height difference, thirst for blood, etc.

Poor old Rixy - cops it on BigFooty and also from first-graders!!!
As part of our new St Kilda community initiative, small groups of players head off to primary schools every week to talk to the kids about choices and consequences or deliver a talk on healthy eating. The idea is that as role models, we may be able to deliver a message that will really get through to the kids.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love teachers. They are absolutely invaluable. And on a scale of their importance in society, definitely underpaid. However, it is not uncommon for teachers to see the period of time that we visit their classroom as a one hour extension to their 11 weeks of holidays and four pupil-free days…
Somehow, some teachers have the ability to turn their back on the class, absorb themselves in a pile of marking [or the latest New Idea] and tune out – thereby gaining just a little revenge on the world via the gullible footy player up at the blackboard and out of his depth.
This is a transcript from a typical class room visit with grade ones:
“Hi I’m Michael from the St Kilda Football Club and today we’re going to talk about healthy eating and achieving your goals…yes, straight away, a question?”
“You’re tall.”
“Um…thank you.”
“How tall are you?”
“About six five…[class silence]…or about 198 in metric...[continued class silence]…nearly as tall as the door”
“oooohh ahhh” [class very impressed].
“So first up today – Healthy Eating. Who can tell me something about foods that are healthy to eat? Yes…you…in the middle”.
“Fwuit”
“Very good! Fruit!” [Rest of class continues to look at door so I pick on the kid with a lisp again]. “What else?”
“Owanges”.
“Hmmm…yes, you’re right but oranges are a fruit. What about vegetables?”
Class nods in agreement but doesn’t give me an answer.
“Okkaayy. Does anyone know how many vegetables should you eat a day?...yes?”
“Have you ever kicked a goal?”
“Yes”.
“How many?”
“Not many, about 3.”
“What does it feel like to kick a goal?”
“Oh…well…um, it feels great. Especially in front of a big crowd”.
“What does it feel like to play in front of a big crowd?”
“Oh…terrific. It’s amazing. Now back to healthy eating. Hands down everyone. Mmmm… ok ok, very last question…yes?”
“Do you know Buddy Franklin?”
“Yes…no…well sort of”.
“He kicks lots of goals’.
“Yes he does.”
“More than you.”
“Uh…well yes he does. But he plays in the forward line.”
“Lots of goals. Lots more than you.”
“Ok…I get your point”.
“Can you get me his autograph?”
“No I can’t!! I don’t know him that well, I really only see him when we play the Hawks.”
“What about then?”
“Then what…?”
“Get me his autograph.”
“You want me to take a pen out on the ground, stop mid game and ask Buddy for his signature?”
“Yup!” [Class all smiling and start chanting they want Buddy’s autograph too].
“Shhhh Grade Ones. I am not going to get Buddy’s signature for you. If you’re lucky you can have mine at the end of the class”.
[Buddy’s #1 fan looks horrified and then down into his lap, deciding that his shoelaces are now the most exciting thing in the room. I’ve lost him I think for the rest of the talk].
“Right class. We’ve got off track. So I want to talk about what you can put in your lunch box to make sure you eat healthily and grow up big and strong…and play AFL football if you want!”
“Can girls play football?”
“Sure they can! Everyone can play. There’s heaps of girls at Auskick!”
“What about in the AFL?”
“….hmmm…” [thinking to myself how to get out of this one…] “Girls can play in the AFL but they just don’t want to. They grow differently when they get older.”
“How?”
“We are definitely not going into that. They just do.”
[Young girl raises one eyebrow and tilts head with a look of sheer dissatisfaction at me. Then straight to her shoelaces. M Rix loses another.]
“No more questions. We have to get back on track. Ok very last one. This time I’m serious. Yes?”
“Ummmm I forgot”.
“Oh. Well remember it for later. So everyday you should eat 5 serves of vegies...what now?”
“I remembered”.
“Remembered what?”
“My question.”
“Oh…well quickly then, what is it?”
“Ummm I forgot again.”
“Arggghhh. Righto. So everyone should eat 5 serves of vegies and 2 serves of fruit per day…..[SIGH]…what now….?”
“I remembered”.
“[SIGH again]….Ok what is it”
“My mum’s boss used to go to the same dentist as Shane Crawford”.
“That’s not a question, it’s a statement”.
“What’s a statement?”
“Well it’s a statement of…it’s like a phrase that’s sort of true but…it’s like when…oh nevermind. We really should talk about healthy eating. So can anyone tell me how many serves of fruit you should eat per day? Yes, you in the front row with the truck on your shirt?”
“Do you go there too?”
“Go where?!!!!”
“Shane Crawford’s dentist?”
“No I don’t!!!! What’s that got to do with vegetables?”
“Nothing.”
“Oh I see. Well I think we should not talk about dentists or Shane Crawford or Buddy anymore. OKAY?”
Class: “OKAY!!!”.
“So who can name a fruit that is good to eat after school? You can? ....Ok.. go ahead?”
“I’ve got a puppy called Baxter”.
Class: “oohhh…how cute…what kind is he?“
Rixy: ….?.....[Silence for a good 10 seconds then look to the heavens for help]
“I can’t beat that…”
So healthy eating goes out the window and we talk about puppies for the rest of the class. On the way out I proceed to give high fives to the whole of Grade One, including the one particularly sticky handed kid who I am sure rubbed a whole toffee apple across his mitts before grabbing my shirt and asking for a ‘low ten’.

There once was a woman called Mary
Who everyone found a bit scary.
It's not that she's mean,
Or very obscene,
It's just that her nostrils are hairy.

My friend Billy
had a ten foot willy.
He showed it to the neighbour next door,
who thought it was a snake,
and hit it with a rake
so now it's only six foot four.
oh dear - well the thread is called 'junk posts'...

Harvs on BTG this week (according to saintsational thread).
For him to do this show (not like him) makes me think it's a definite finish this year.
