This compensation is a disgrace for a self inflicted wound. If anything they should be made to trade them because they need an immediate injection of talent not a speculative selction so they can get a player that would potentially walk out after two years. The two end of first round draft future p...

I think I'm asking the broader philosophical question in relation to much of the modern capitalist life we are born into, even if we want our children to take the simpler life is it really possible, and is the life one choses going to need the support of many other humans such as mental health expe...

Is he really that slooooooowwwww.

From HS this morning Moneyball: All the latest player movement, contract and free agency news The latest on the Bombers attempt at a double free agency strike, North’s options if Todd Goldstein departs, how a Crow can unite with his brother and more trade news here. Jon Ralph,Jay Clark and Glenn Mc...

I'm really not interested in Dow, not the player we need Well it sounds like he is coming anyway. Dow is so much like Billings. Both taken at number 3 in the draft based on skills but never became the stars they should. Billings has played comfortably to be in the best 22 but never said to himself ...

St Kilda's first round pick 12 is expected to plunge to 15 as Gold Coast get to queue jump for 3 academy picks. Yes they can get there academy players but Victorian clubs will miss out on their academy players. What that means is St Kilda's second round pick will be at least 33 A start of 2nd round ...

The thing that I thought might help concussion in footy.. 16 players on the field 3 players from each team forbidden to enter D50 3 players from each team under 180cm Of course it is considered nuts But if we continue to get bigger and bigger and faster and stronger there is only one likely conclus...

Allison is lucky that he got a contract extension when he did.
Contracted until end of 2024.

Hope Peris rookied If he can tackle and score his pace will worry forwards Peris was already a rookie but a rookie B. You can only have a max of 2 rookie Bs. Liam O'Connell will be a rookie B so either Angus McLennan or Peris had to go or be upgraded. Despite his speed Peris had the problem of bein...

Did Nicky Winmar ever stand in as captain for a day ?

Once they pull on a St Kilda guernsey I don't care about their race, or whether they are a bogan, they are part of MY TEAM.
I will judge them only based on performance.
If one day he becomes captain he will become captain of MY TEAM.

Still young. Has plenty of speed and skill something which we really lack. BTW. A friend of mine met a gun player we should have picked. Apart from being very amicable, said player is a footy head (many players aren’t) who had plenty to say about today’s game. Has a real footy brain and was very in...

I choose not to participate in the voting.

But due to their greater significance why not make votes in a final worth double points and a grand final triple points.
Those who stand up when it really matters deserve more.

It is hard to win when you start the game one player short. Guess which player had 2 kicks and 7 handballs but he had many more "touches". Touched the ball that is but dropped all but one mark. He wants to be in every contest, that way dragging his opponent into the marking contest and him...

Hawthorn's woes with indigenous players like Cyril should have been enough to persuade him against the Hawks.
A ploy to make saints offer more money.
Now saints have to get him without giving too much away in draft picks.

Reckon Michael Christian got it exactly right. Straight to tribunal. Well handpassed now the tribunal has to decide. If the tribunal agrees with the MRO's assessment he will get at least 3 matches suspension. If the tribunal disagrees and says no case to answer he plays in the prelim final. The AFL...

Paddy Ryder got suspended for 2 weeks for what ?
Based on that judgement Maynard gets life without the possibility of parole.

happy feet wrote: ↑Thu 07 Sep 2023 9:38pm This will be interesting, what just will Michael Christian do?

If he is smart he will send Maynard to the tribunal thus avoiding having to impose the penalty himself.

Looking at a few weeks there. 2 weeks...as in rest until he plays in the preliminary. Pies in pole position for the flag.... 2 matches he misses the prelim and the grannie. He has duty of care to all opponents, instead he KOed an opponent. Christian can not defend him just because he plays for his ...

AFL career over, no footy next year, he will be delisted.

I would give up beer for as long as he were at St Kilda.



But then I don't drink alcohol.
