  1. 1972 second semi was a Draw. 1990 Qualifying was a draw-killed us North and Hawthorn played extra time i think...
  2. Oh yes don't worry that chant will be back, hopefully against the Filth in september. They have no idea what will hit them when Jimma's MFC make a charge for the 13th Cup (and 14th, 15th, 16th etc....) B)
  3. Grand Final Replay is just fine with me. It's Half Time and we get another week of Footy!! Brilliant! Leave it alone.
  4. I really want to go next week. I reckon the Saints will Kick Ass to be honest. They withstood all the filth could give....but it is half time. Brilliant Theatre. B)
  5. I was at Both Grand Finals in 1977, and it was incredible. I hope the Rule is never changed..it once again makes our game that little bit more special. Everybody knows the rules...At this stage the Filth look gone..but as someone above said it is actually just Half Time. Go Saints for next week. I just adore Colliwobbles. B) B)
  6. Fair Comment, and that is why it is imperative we stand firm as a club in years to come. We must wear our colours in September & i shall always believe that.
  7. These things are better seen from a distance than up close, but the first thing that strikes me about the 2010 AFL grand final is that St Kilda is not wearing its traditional guernsey. The argument is, supposedly, that the black upper half on the back of the Collingwood guernsey "clashes" with the black back of the traditional St Kilda guernsey. But is there really a problem? Are players going to mistake one another? They didn't in the old days when there were wet, muddy playing fields and the likelihood of doing so was far greater. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, there was never any mention of it. The impetus for away strips seems to have come from television, which now supplies most of football's income. Ultimately, running the game is a creative act that requires precarious balance. It's like running any show, any great performance which is what a grand final is, or rather, can be. But in all such shows, there are certain magic ingredients that you tamper with at your peril. Collingwood president Eddie McGuire stood up against the AFL, refusing to adopt an away strip. I support him in this, but I also support the right of Port Adelaide to wear their old jailhouse guernsey, which Collingwood opposes, and I also support St Kilda's right to wear its traditional guernsey today. The colour of the guernseys will not determine the intensity of today's match, but footy followers need to be constantly on guard against the power of television to fashion subjects to its own ends. The game predates television by a century. Martin Flanagan is an Age senior writer ***************************************************************************************************************************************** I don't wish to steal a mans words-But Martin here has summed up my feeling completely. The AFL are taking an ingredient out of our game with the Clash jumper. It may be small to some, but it is important. In todays game i do not see a clash. Some will. But the Saints sure don't look like St.kilda to me, & that to me is a little sad.
  8. I have absolutely no problem with White Numbers or White Shorts for our away games. But the Jumper & Socks....Don't get me Started...(again)!!!!!! B) P.S. That '97 saints jumper was a dead set shocker, that evolved when they moved to waverley & the players liked it because they were winning games in it. But not the GF. They started all this Crap.
  9. Can't see a lot of white in any of our jumpers going back in time DC....can you??? B)
  10. I agree if he cannot make the 22 two years running for a GF, he is not rated that Highly by the Aints. And by the time he is, there window for more GF's will be shut, while ours is opening. Definately worth a pursue.....
  11. You got me there!!!! Thats a top Nomination, but i still enjoy a good ep of "King of the Hill" as well B)
  12. 12 Games in 4 years....Why is the first thing i am asking??
  13. Favorite TV Show would have to be "King of the...."
  14. yes Fraser gave Jeff the Bird, and Jeff made him pay enormously. It was pure Art to watch. God i hope the Filth lose tomorrow!!!!!! B)
  15. I don't think i would be too Happy if the MFC traded for Josh Fraser, rather keep what we already have than get that Joke. I still remember that day Jeff White made him look stupid and i don't think he has ever recovered. B)
  16. Expensive shoulder, i shall watch next season closely.
  17. I agree with the above, my point about Gardiner was that he was damaged goods when he left Wet Coke, and he really took his chance. Leigh Brown was also at the Cross roads so yeah, theFilth have done well sadly.
  18. St.kilda took a great Punt on Gardiner didn't they, he has been Brilliant, and good luck to him. Just Shows the odd rough diamond does come through. We need a Ruckmen like him. Can take crucial pack marks and kicks goals, his 3rd Q last week was St.kilda's spark back into the game.
  19. That is Totally correct. You will never have a good design when a jumper is 80% white. White is the shade of surrender, and Vlad knows it!!! B)
  20. That is an absolute disgrace to say that seriously. No regard for any history. It's all about marketing eh Vlad????
  21. I heard that as well, so i think we can all be assured that Junior is still very much a part of the club & holds no hard feelings..Go you Demons, setting high standards can only help.
  22. Yes i was waiting for you to sing the American song of independance....how thoughtful But the MFC Theme song has always been the Red & Blue. So what you wrote, though a good try & quite humorous does not change my opinion one iota....! B)
  23. Brilliant Stuff & not a white Clash Jumper in sight..Just Red & Blue. That should be played before our home games as the crowd stands....
