I have nothing against him as a person, but as a footballer I hope that he never takes the field for St Kilda again. If he does take the field and dominates I will be happy to be labelled a complete moron with no football knowledge whatsoever, but up until now he has shown nothing to suggest that w...

Blakes problem was illustrated n the weekend when he got the ball in space on the wing. He started to run forward then realised he was being chased on would be run down so he stopped and looked for support. By the time support arrived he was only able to get off a half arsed handball which was part...

Given that the Dons have not faced any teams so far in the NAB with a credible forward line, I think they would be breathing a sigh of relief that they will not be facing the Saints with a Gehrig, Kosi, Roo forward line-up.
I reckon they will be feeling very comfortable now.

As a QLD viewer/listener, this has been my major concern over the last couple of years.

Of course he can!
As long as he doesnt have to carry the detractors from this board on his back every time he runs out onto the field.
He is one of the fastest at the club, tall and he has a backmans steely determination.

The work ethic is a big deal but I also believe it is down to the aerobic capactiy, a lot of players have shed the pounds over the off-season so it should be good to see if they can put in a solid 4 quarter performance more often. Yes there does seem to have beena change in emphasis from muscle and...
