Sorry to intrude guys and girls, and I hope it's OK to post here.

Anyways, you can probably guess what this is about, and I was after your thoughts. There is a post on the main board (Footy Fourth Estate) but I haven't seen many Saints posters comment on it much.

Your thoughts?

Regards.

I have no idea what you are talking about...

Sorry, I should have clarified given not everyone has Foxtel.

I'll skip the rest of the crap and go straight to the Saints part.

Basically this one bloke - The Wordsmith (real name Jimmy Defanti) was allegedly the reason why you guys won in 1966, apparently he was sitting next to Molly Meldrum in the cheersquad that day and sent Molly out to run onto the field, where he allegedly told Barry something and won them the game.

Apparently Defanti was instrumental during the Allan Jeans years at St Kilda and when he was allegely arrested on GF day/night post-game that's when the Saints decline started.
 
Apologies if I appear vague but it's harder to explain it in detail without actually showing you guys the actual TV show (it was "Sandy Roberts Presents"), but that obviously is hard in itself as not everyone has Foxtel.

So I'm way too young and have never watched that GF.
Is that actually a thing that Molly Meldrum ran onto the field from the cheer squad and spoke to some players? Nobody cared?

I'm in too minds about it. I've seen footage of the '66 GF. And then saw the footage they showed of Meldrum running onto the field. I call bullshit on that part because the Saints wore white shorts in '66 - yet the footage they show of Meldrum allegedly running onto the field the Saints are in black shorts. I also remember quite distinctly that Molly said he's never seen the Saints win a flag as he said he passed out sometime during Q4 in '66 and woke up after the siren. Also apparently Molly was arrested after the game (I call bullshit) as was this Jimmy Defanti bloke.

I would think it's from the land of conspiracy theorists who came up with the fake moon landings one..
 
when I saw the previews, I thought it was a joke. they made it seem extremely dramatic. but when they talked about it, they sold it as legit. I didn't watch it so I got no idea if it's for real or they're just having some fun. there will be more episodes
