Don't take it personally. Laidley was just trying to keep his job. You can't blame him for spinning it that way, especially after North was in front for the first half.

I'll be honest,the backline looks terrible on paper. We've started to look slow and tired and we have only gone backwards in regards to that issue with selection this week. Still,we're 10 and zip,so in Ross we trust Good thing they're playing on grass and not paper, then. Seriously, an average of 5...

The team that Ross Lyon coaches would win.

They are calling the Melb v Collingwood game this Monday as a blockbuster in the Herald Sun :oops: They have won 6 games between them this year, some damn blockbuster :P :P :P :P If the Cats and us are still unbeaten for the 14th game what will this stupid paper call this match then as it would be ...

I love talking about the Saints. Other teams I'm mostly indifferent to. Occasionally there may be some interest but by and large, it's Saints or nothing for me. What I also love is opposition supporters talking about the Saints. Because often it's a desperate attempt to stop from thinking about thei...

I wish I wrote for a newspaper. I could get them to write whatever I liked. If he said anything about only coming in on the Wednesday it was later in the game More to the point, I can't imagine you 'mis-hird' "It was an eerie feeling out on the ground". And tall poppy syndrome? Sounds mor...

We 'buried' West Coast, Fremantle, Port Adelaide and Collingwood. Against Melbourne we kicked 2.5 and 1.6 in the 2nd and 4th quarters. Against Brisbane we kicked 1.7 in the 2nd quarter. Against Essendon we kicked 6.5 in the 1st quarter. Against Bulldogs we kicked 3.7 and 4.7 in the 1st and 2nd quart...

Getting Milne into the side is this week's conundrum. I can't see Ross dropping Gwilt or McQualter (hint: not everyone's role requires them to take 10 marks and kick 4 goals like Riewoldt). The two competing forces are structure (i.e. like for like replacement) and stability (i.e. minimal changes). ...

thoughts? I think you've taken the 'we have to lose some time' logic and tried to find a few losses before the finals in order to avoid a perceived increase in pressure that a huge winning streak might bring. What's your rationale for us losing the games you've chosen? How about a different angle: ...

Looking good. Second has the same rights as first....Without the pressure. Only difference is you get to play the third team instead of fourth. You're fooling yourself if you think there's no pressure on second. Absolutely no pressure on second.....Exactly what I meant. One would be stupid, and as ...

I had wondered if the thumping of Essendon may have been a little message to us? I could be reading heaps into it of course, but this was a side that remained competitive against us only recently and many thought may be able to give Geelong a scare with pace? With a nine day break I'd expect the Sa...

We lost the last match of 2003.

I'm not sure what game you were watching but I thought the only thing missing tonight was skills. If we'd kicked for goal a bit straighter we might have won by twelve goals without ever actually looking polished. We need to turn players over until we get the right mix I've tried to think of a respo...

I thought Gwilt and Baker played good games tonight. Clarke was disappointing. It's hard to tell on TV how much time he spent on the ground but he didn't get much of it.

flashy young midfielder Luke Ball.

Now that's quality journalism.

Paid.

But do they sing the right words? I note they sing, how I want to be "in" St Kilda, etc, I thought it was, how I want to be "with" St Kilda. Ok, I have just checked my cd of the song and they sing it wrong. Will tell them about that next week :wink: As players I think they have ...
