YEAH YEAH I do mean that!! whan I make a statement such as
"the saints WILL make the eight"
The WILL stands for 'all things considered' such as injury, family crisis and so on"
So what Im really saying is "with the way things are proggessing and with no foreseeable problems (injury etc) I predict StKilda to make the eight!!!"
I hope I cleared that up. You gotta love me!what else can you do?
Mate shut the hell up
It was an interesting question and yet you stick your nose in with all barrells.....
for what its worth
Clarke will be a better temperment then winmar (we are already seeing him play more consistant football) but don't expect him to come close to number 7
I loved the whole "our players are smart, they go to ui and stuff...." heck I would hate to know what that stuff is young man!
Jones was young and fast..... anyway, different team, different situation.
We had nothing to lose, as alves said on SEN today. Carlton was there to be knocked off and the saints had to prove it to themselves that they are good enough. If you had a look at the current mentality of our young players, they understand what it takes to win and a loss this saturday would not destroy us as it could have done in 96.
Wally, please just suggest that we are quietly confident and wait till we have a few decades of success before spouting the **** you say..... we are getting branded and its not us!
I think the difference is in the middle group of players and the depth at the club. Back in 96 we had a few stars, (Harvey, Burke, Loewe, Everitt, Winmar) and a good group of youngsters (Jones, Brown, Smith). Other than that we had a group of players who would of struggled to get a game at almost every other club in the comp. Granted there were a few who were capable, but generally they just weren't that good. As for depth... there wasn't any.
Now, I think the middle group of players for example Voss, Powell, Penny, Hamill and others are good consistent players. Personally I think the depth is getting there aswell. Still a way to go though.

St Kilda has demonstrated it has no intelligence when it comes to footy.
I mean roatating captains??? What is this the Tackers?
That fool of a coach may think his king of the kids, but its a big boys comp out there Saint fans. Get over yourselves.
St Kilda are going to be the new Collingcant, thats already evident on this site alone!

Getting back to the source of the original post, I would have thought that Bomber would have been better to have said nothing, as all the media pressure was on the Saints to perform. He has now drawn attention to the Cats in a "what about me" kind of way, instead of just quietly and confidenly going about his job.
His beef is with the media not St. Kilda, and the media are making a meal of it!

Too many fools, not enough bullets! The fact that there have been over 60 responses demonstrates I talk the talk of the people!
Its easy for fools like Joffahead and Karnaby to respond with 'troll', yet fail to articulate a comprehensive, sustainable argument.
AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE!

At least get your facts right.We got Peter Street in the draft from the Tasmanian U/18's.
God help us if these 2 teams ever got off the bottom of the ladder and actually made some real finals. Talk about completely overexcited about nothing. All of a sudden they are the 2 "Young champion" teams of the AFL because they are the final 2 left in the practice match knockout comp. God please bring on the real season... QUICK.

Big call
And you have watched a lot of Maguire to determine that he is a hack - someone quite promising and not yet 20 years old?
Hope (and think) this will come back and bite - bigtime
All the poster was saying is that Maguire might prove to be a bargain at pick 21.....

If St Kilda make the finals this year, I can assure you it will be a one night only performance.
2 things. Firstly what is SEN???
Secondly, I think the saints have been very impressive but their hopes hang on Riewoldt more than most think. With full seasons from Riewoldt and Gehrig the saints will be top 6 at least.
The Saints are the best team, yet to make a finals appearance ever...
ever...For what its worth, Geelong are a very good young side that can and will make an impact in the future. I expect a hotly contested next dozen years between our two sides.
Thompson uses the typical arguments trying to ***** stir, and they are not working, I reckon his mind games are a tad on the fritz.
We know we drafted well, we know we made the most of a miserable late-'90s/early noughties - so what? Dosen't that show we are smart and draft savvy? I fail to see the point of his whingey tyrade.
Cats fans, you should be proud of your team, they will be pretty good the next decade or so.
But they won't beat us, either on Saturday or in R1, we have hit a devistating and world changing groove that can't be denied!

As far as I'm concerned Bomber Thompson is well within his rights to try and get the media to concentrate on his own young players and football club. God knows the Saints administration and many of our supporters feel the same way.
My only concern is that if Thompson wants the media to talk about Geelong's young list, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that that will begin sunday morning if they win, he will have to incur the wrath of the media if they struggle again like last year.
Geelong went backwards last year and had a very disappointing season. They ended the season with a good win over the Saints in the last round that he expects everyone to have taken notice of but not the 21 weeks before that. For some unknown reason, Geelong were the one team that struggled last season to not find itself in the media spotlight.
As a saints supporter it's good to open up the newspaper and read some positive articles about our future because we have been justifiably on the receiving end of some very critical articles. When we have stuffed up, we have had journalists lining up outside the club waiting for their turn to rip into us again.
Sure, Geelong aren't receiving as much attention that they deserve this week but they also don't seem to receive the criticism in the media that they are at times entitled too. That's just one of the problems, and blessings, of not being in Melbourne.
