100th game for Seany Dempster tonight, which of course includes 5 grand finals!

Ridiculous stat for a player of Dempster's calibre. 1/20 games being a Grand Final.
 
Vez has broken his finger just as he was about to be called up to the WB team against Freo. Always happens to him.

We shoulda picked Cyril! :p
No we should have picked Meredith higher just in case another team wanted take him

Put bluntly and probably with an unpopular bent but a 100 games is a ridiculous stat for someone of Dempsters output.

Good role player. Nothing more, but he did his job for us and does his job for the Saints. I mark players a lot higher if they play well in big games and Dempster was very good in both GF's last year IMO. Did his bit in the '05 GF too.

Kind of funny he is in the Saints Best 22 when we were going to delist him.

Good role player is a term that is now thrown around defense for just about anybody hanging on to their lists while struggling.

Dempster may bob up here and there with a few handy run with roles but there are times he fails top pull that off well either. In the 2005 grand final it was said he did ok for a youngster. Last years GF 1 remember him early but as for Grand Final 2 my memory was he might as well have been sitting on the couch next to me.

He never progressed passed that ok for a youngster level and is still performing to it today. It's testament to St Kilda's lack of depth that he made it this far.

I recall a nice run down the wing where he deftly sidestepped Ben Cousins. Nice piece of play that.

100 games and 5 GFs including a premiership. Maybe the Saints keep him on for his insane luck.
 
Simon Phillips to make his Port debut. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D :) :D :)

Whaaat, i didn't even realise they picked him up! It's a pity it has to be for Port though. Hope he goes well!

Doesn't say much does it.
Leave. Flipper. Alone! Great goal on his NON-PREFERRED left foot.

Also our former ruckman James Meiklejohn, sans headgear, kicked 4 goals for Port Magpies against East Coast in the FOXTEL Cup curtain raiser

Was watching the Foxtel Cup, Schwass giving Roos a bit of stick for getting rid of Mieklejohn. That was before my time but I assume he was spudish?

Still, looked good, could be another who gets another shot at AFL level.
 
Funny, whenever they cut to Hall in the stand Cheese was a few rows in front of him. By half way through the match he was munching on a tub of takeaway Chinese.
