Another Sainter here…and we are going to kick some serious football arse this year. Seriously. Unlike our past years that were _meant_ to be serious, but didn’t quite end up that way unfortunately. 😃 Bring 'em back to Moorabbin. C’arn the Saints. ---

I won’t join the competition because I always forget to put my tips in… but I want to take this opportunity to say: CARN THE LIONS! Yes, I did used to live in Brisbane… Yes, I have been supporting the Lions since they were the Bears. ---
