Why should they? It really irks me when people think it's the bookie's fault for the odds. The idiots who started piling the money on the hawks MADE the odds go down - and when we lost seven of our top seven, of course they kept lowering the odds for the hawks. Bookies will be too busy laughing the...

Bloody hell, Sandy can't take a trick, I'm worried about this club, we have no depth and no bloody kids coming through judging by their inability to even compete in the lower level :evil: :evil: You're right our depth is terrible.

You would think if Kosi was in any way injured , they would have 'rested' him like they did for 8 of his team mates. Just had an off day.

Re: My hat off to the St Kilda Board

My hat if off to Greg Westaway and the board for their leadership in strongly supporting Ross Lyon in his early days when he was was struggling to get the players confidence and when his early stages of development was demonstrating very boring and messy outcomes. The uncompromisingly defensive wor...

It's a winter sport isn't it? They're outside running their arses off - they'll be warm enough. Rather a freezing cold day than a boiling hot one.

Look at some of the games the cats have played at Kardinia Park in the last few years. Almost Arctic - and they've thrived!

Knew there was going to be some big changes but now I just feel sick. Why?? I would love the saints to win every game they play. And they still have a bloody good chance with that team. But if we do happen to lose, what's the big deal? Our backline looks as strong as ever. Who will pick up Rioli? T...

He’s right, of course. Our form’s a harder to track than Osama bin Laden, ‘I’ll be there for sure,’ he says, a glint in his eye, nostrils flaring at the prospect of picking on the bones of a freshly slain Saint. Friday comes. Beers are opened. Baker’s on the Cascade Lights. He drove. So...

Maybe b/c no-one knows exactly what days finals will be played until the end of Rd 22. All they have said in the past is that if you finish on top they will try and give that team any advantage that they can, ie a 7 day break. I'm not sure what the big problem is with the AFL.

I recall last year the club e-mailed me and told me that their records indicated that I've been a member since 2005, and asked if that was correct. I e-mailed them and told them it was more like 1997. I thought mine was a one off error, until my best mate, who's been a member since 1988, was told th...

THat story refers to defenders who deliberately elbow fwds in the back miles off the ball. It's not so much the frees paid to fwds when the ball is in flight into their area, but the treatment fwds cop 50-100m off the ball to aggravate them.

Mr Magic, are you telling me that if every technical free was paid to Fev, Buddy, Brown when we played them you'd be happy as long as Roo got them as well? Your argument is solid in that logically of course frees should be paid regardless of the player and the position on the ground they're paid. Ho...

I agree with PLugger. How hard do you reckon the deees will be going in that last home and away game? WE could play different blokes through the midfield, and rest our stars for the second half of the game and still win in a canter you'd think. Not ideal preparation for a final unfortunately. I woul...

Who cares? Roos wasn't begging for a reversed result, just pointing out that Montagna dragged a Sydney player to the ground. If the umpire had seen it, it would have been a free kick.

To be honest all of the top gun fwds have a hard time of it - and always have. THis will sound strange, but as long as the others don't start getting the holding frees, I'm happy for Roo to miss out on the odd one.

Personally Luke Ball is the one that I'd love fit and in form. Gilbo and co, whilst very important, can take an extra week if need be. They could probably do with a rest. Ball is the one we desperately need in form, and can't afford to have him out injured or playing half fit in the reserves. Hard f...
