http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/saints-hope-justin-koschitzke-heeds-warning/story-e6frf9ox-1225886549231 Nice article :!: from Bruce Matthews that highlights all our players who have carryover points and can be suspended if found guilty of commiting another offence this seaason. The Herald sc...

No - there is no indication that he'll retire, but let's face it, he's 30 and his season is effectively over. Nine weeks out. Nobody can jsut step into the game in a finals series. And if he does, he will be so restircted in his game. He would only have to look at an opposition player, and he'll get...

Damian Barrett is making a late run for the title. Brownless is a one eyed pisshead that is so stupid that I don't take him seriously I’ve stopped watching the Sunday morning footy show a long time ago (same with the Footy Show). Billy Brainless being a regular is enough indication of the general...

I'm beginning to think the Herald and Weekly Times running a campaign of vendetta against the club. I'm not going through all of the articles that have been targetting St Kilda and I don't think it is a coincidence that following a pro Baker article earlier this week in "The Age" Of cours...

What is it with this Guy? First the so-called Sex Scandal, and now he insinuates that St. Kilda were over the salary cap when Brian Waldron was at the club. It really must p....s him off that Essendon is below St. Kilda on the laddter. He says.... ......This all happened a long time ago, but the ti...

I haven't seen anyone from our club in it. As long as I can remember, when skimming Lou’s Handball, I never ever can find anything about the Saints. But anybody who ever read Matthew Hardy’s Saturday Afternoon Fever would know that in Lou’s heydays, St. Kilda rated a fat 0.0. on Lou’s Richt...

Robyn Reily is a Bulldogs supporter and writes for the HS. What do you expect?
The Age had one article and dismissed as a non-event.

It's probably the old "the good news and bad news" bit:
The good news ... Collingwood lost, the bad news .... Geelong won.

Our form from late 2008 till round 3 this year has been incredible. Something had to give and unfortunately it was Roo's hammy. His absence is not the reason for our problems. For the whole group to maintain the intensity of last year was always going to be a big ask. We are going through a slump n...

I was listening to the broadcast on ABC radio during the third quarter adn the commentator - Peter Schwab, former Umpires Coach, claimed that teh 2 paid against Milne were very unlucky - he called them both a 'Milney 50' and left no doubt in my mind that they were paid becasue of teh player rather ...

The stats in the paper today showed the Saints had five 50 meters paid against them. Not having seen the full game, how did this happen? More to the point, how can they be so undisciplined??? Is this a record?

"I still think we're at where the game has gone, with team defences," Lyon said Can someone please explain what this means :shock: We are a leader with team defences and we are. Last night (when looking at recent history) was a loss that is unusual for us. Not having a go at anyone, but I...

[quoteSo how many other umpirers got dropped for giving frees that weren't over the weekend? This is everything that is wrong with umpiring and the morons who runit.[/quote] Would Gishen have acted like this is it had been the other way round, i.e. Hawthorn who complained or any other team for that ...

[quote="ralphsmith"]It is infuriating me. The endless barrage of crap our club cops everytime we win is annoying. Don't let it worry you too much. At the momen, and all last year, St Kilda makes the journos look stupid all the time. It took us about 13 rounds of winning every game until th...

gram was a MASSIVE loss for us last saturday. it was obvious that we missed the fluency of his running game out of half back. but if he needs another week to recover, so be it. better to return fully fit than under a shadow of doubt. "... Agree .... I would hate to lose to the Doggies, and it ...

As for umpires being biased towards teams they barracked for..even subconsciously..what nonsense IMO. What are we supposed to do? Hire umpires who hated footy growing up? Do young players tank when they play the teams they supported as kids? In soccer, e.g. European Championship, game between, say,...

[ On umpires umpiring teams they supported as kids, I would think think that sub-conciencly they would be a little bit harder on "their" team. Good point Eastern. I remember (quite a while ago) at shool, somtimes it happened that the teacher had his/her own child in the class. They always ...

The whole umpire topic intrigues me a lot. Umpires would have grown up barracking for a team as passionately as we do, and, as most of us, they would have had teams they quite like, couldn’t care less about it, or really dislike. Can an umpire be totally unbiased when umpiring their own team? Is i...

WOW... congratulations... an old person who can use a computer!

Yes, our old-fart generation invented the computers so that you young 'uns don't have to use your brains too much!

Pretty lousy skills, but the Roden free kick was a joke - a typical umpy manipulating the game - Port hasn't kicked a goal up to them. Let's give them a free kick to get them into the game and make it more interesting.
I'm sick of this!!

This is by far the most absurd twaddle I’ve ever read on this forum. A tight game, against a quality team, the result is still in the balance and it is suggested that Goddard ran up to the goal thinking and calculating …… oh my oh my just for fun I’ll kick the ball into the opposition cheer ...

Watching the replay, I agree, the commentary was definitely not biased against St. Kilda. But if you’re some 50 points up in the first quarter with an ever increasing lead, it’s hard to knock a team. And Blightey, well he was just Blightey - off the planet as usual. This does not change the fact...
