Why is it to me it seems so obvious we were going to need serious recruiting to replace all these talented aging players over recent years but the club haven't really seemed to act heavily on it as if we have all we need to just continue on with virtually what we have? Every Year we have lost our to...

CLUB LEGENDS? This is the problem today you don't need to achieve much to have superstar status or be a champion, legend etc. The reality is that one was a player that never achieved the expectation of his high draft selection and the other was a player with average ability that got the most out of ...

What about my all time favourite? Was breathtakingly fluent on either side. You could say left or right and pass as either.

A couple of weeks ago, after the Sydney game, I said that Jackie was one of the worst players that I had ever seen play for the Saints. Well, I was wrong. He is without doubt THE worst . At least Jarryn Geary took a good mark before he kicked it straight to three Collingwood players. At least Sam G...

Get well soon Elvis. Arguably the most skillful player who ever played in out colours. The nearest thing to the complete all round player. Definitely no arguement from me. Also the most electrifying. I used to almost have a heart attack myself every time he went near the ball. My all time football ...

Ask Rooey? Are you serious he cant even kick between 2 sticks 7 metres apart from 30 metres away.

I don't care what deal was made it still didn't win us a flag and I would have prefered to have him start and finish his unbelievable career with us rather than share it with any other club. For all the drama and trouble he might have been he and Winmar was worth every bit of it and I wouldn't chang...

Jack Steven - can't play under pressure. This is just f****** hysterical, I have seen some ridiculous knee jerk bull s*** statements on this forum before but this is a winner, If we let Steven go, there would be exactly 17 clubs all lining up to talk to his management. He will be our number 1 midfi...

Sick of the raph bashing gents, he hasn't been great, but by geez he's had some mates,gwilt,dal,Goddard,montagna Sick of Raph bashing? I'm sick of people trying to defend him and cover his arse. There's one big difference with those other players he's being compared with. They are usually good play...

I thought Milne had already extended to next year? Can anyone confirm or deny this report? Kosi is still only 29 - Milney is 32 already. I guess I am trying to avoid seeing a sad and struggling player go around next year. It is a bad vibe for the whole team when a club legend is struggling. It just...

Obviously more are starting to see the light. A couple of years ago some of us would get a fair share of backlashing for a post like this on Kosi no matter how useless he was playing

Disposal can be frustrating but anyone who is able to get so much of the ball you have to persist with.

Ok we have a new coach hence new game plan and structure. So how long could the transition be from old programing of RL structure and to what effect could we be possibly looking at? Could we just continue on at the level we were and Improve from there or are we possibly going to take a step down and...

As much as a loss may be seen let’s look at some perspectives. Have we truly lost someone valuable we want at the club anyway now knowing his true character? IMO yes he has to look after himself at the end of the day but it’s not purely just all about business. The St Kilda Football Club gave hi...

[quote="SaintPav"]The firts half againts Carlton is a pretty good indication of where we sit against the teams above us. We will be very lucky to make a prelim and I'd be pretty happy with that. Anyway, this weeks game will be hard enough.[/ quote] The funny thing is I'm sure everyone invo...

I'm not sure if I remember correctly but in 05 did the Swans lose their first game resulting in them having to play all the way and winning? Not saying the situation is the same as us but they showed taking the long road can be done if that was right. I also think Collingwood isn't quite as dominant...

But how else do you improve on an area without trying? Seriously SK I didn't see a lot to give me any confidence that we were trying anything different. Worst performance in the season proper for some time. Poor skill. poor descision making. I'm struggling to find a positive. I'm obviously alone in...

"all the bagging out their". From a self confessed Raph basher. The uneducated telling their fellow uneducated what they do not know. A product of the Murdoch school of education? "Raph basher"? I simply said I didn't rate him much as a player and he has grown and Improved his g...

congrats to Raph ...he has come of age. Was one of his detractors but so pleased to witness his improvement, good on him and let's %$^%%$ go. Same here but last night he was unbelievable. Hardly made a mistake and didn't look his usual clumsy self and even looken quite fast.... Ok what have they do...

Funny post. Only have to win two more after the Swans. Dreaming. What? I can understand and thought the same 6 or 8 weeks ago but are you telling me you believe currently now looking at the big picture we cant give this a shake? The only 2 teams that IMO are undoubtably better than us are Geelong a...

What makes it so that you almost must finish top 4 to be any real chance? After this weekend coming when two of the top 4 get a break all the other 6 teams basically are in the same boat apart from the benefit of playing at home. That’s more relevant if we are talking about travelling Interstate b...

Why do you have to be tough and bash'n'crash to be a good player???? He doesn't have the body for it. There have been many good players over the years that have been Recievers, Front Runners or whatever other term is used. I think based on his average over all generally he's a servicable player. He'...

Long high reach, can take a good strong contested mark, not a bad kick.

With Roo out of form and seriously needing a big forward is it worth giving the Big Mac a crack in attack?

He's really surprising me. Has already turned out better than I expected and I now think he can even get better.

Well done Big Mac

The Collingwood media bias was all over this bump being "fair". On the way home, listening to SEN, the comment was made by the host of that programme that Kosi got "picked off" - and that the bump was legal - indeed Kosi was at fault for not seeing it coming and not predicting i...
