At least it wasn't Adrian Anderson or Triggy as rumoured in some circles.

Agreed laughable!!!!!!

[Ted E Bear]

They have forgotten 2-3 spoons also of the list.

That list is still making me laugh

[carey]

We all knock it but really what else can they come out and say???

Our list is poo and we'll finish bottom 2 or 3 times in the next 6 years???

[Ted E Bear]

If they are realistic and honest....yes

[BZB27]

Happy with our side for Rd 1 considering we have Hayes, Steven, Montagna, Schneider and Fisher out.

We have 5 players playing there first game for the saints and 3 of them making their debut. Delaney, Savage, Billings, Dunstan and Templeton.

B: Dempster, Delaney, Gwilt
HB: Wright, Roberton, Webster
C: Newnes, Dunstan, Ray
HF: Jones, Riewoldt, Saunders
F: Stanley, Maister, Templeton
R: Hickey, Armitage, Savage
B: Geary, Billings, Gilbert, Curren

Im surprised Gilbert got a run seeing as he hasnt played any pre season games and wasnt expected back for a couple of weeks. I reckon he will be the sub.
I reckon we can knock off the dees they dont really have much firepower up forward my only concern is our inexperianced midfield.

[Ted E Bear]

Sorry to say but I cant see the Saints winning a game this year. This is your GF.

[BZB27]

Yes i know we are in for a long year but as long as they compete and dont give up and we get the games into our next group of players ill be happy.

[Ted E Bear]

Dunstan will win the rising star IMHO

[valleys07]

Dunstan will win the rising star IMHO

Certainly after tonights performance Teddy- how composed does he look!!! Strong over the footy too.

Hats off to the saints tonight. Yeah- I dont see them winning too many games this season, and Melbourne are not much chop- but they do have some young talent on their list that Richardson will nurture very well.

As much as Riewoldt is maligned- jeez he was super tonight.

[saintal]

Go you sainters.

Got the game on tape, will watch later. Not expecting too many highlights, but a win is a win...

[saintal]

Luke Dunstan (ex WWT) the Round 1 rising star nom. His clearance work will be invaluable, especially once Hayes retires.

[BZB27]

Dont know how he slipped down to 18 in the draft but he is gonna be a star at our club for the next 10-15 years.

[bennymacca]

riewoldt spoke well on footy classified last night.

respect him for not jumping ship to collingwood, though honestly dont blame people for doing it in this day and age.

[BZB27]

Hopefully we can send him off with at least a finals appearance in the next 2 years. Has done everything he can to carry our team.

unfortunately i think he wont play finals again. you guys making it out of the bottom 4 in the next 2 years will be an achievement.

reckon dunstan looks like a gun though.

[BZB27]

Yeah i know its very unlikely that he will play finals again. We need to find a ready made key forward when he does go overwise we will be screwed for the future, doesnt matter how many midfielders we bring in and develop our forward line needs the most work
