Many thanks el gringo.

Got the Encyclopedia - it's a very good Holmesby-Main production, but as it says on the back -
"All biographies in the volume are from The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers".
Mostly, the players given the least space are the ones who've played the least games.

Great article.
The more I see and hear about Ameet Bains the more impressed I am.

Great media release from the Club - grace while in defeat... "The following is a statement from St Kilda CEO Matt Finnis: The St Kilda football club congratulates Luke Beveridge on his appointment as coach of the Western Bulldogs. When we appointed Luke to the new role of Director of Coaching a...

Thanks for the report Bunk. Was a bit shocked to hear of The Pelch's departure, thinking he was the long-term guiding hand behind the recruiting and coaching ethos to take us into a bold new era. Guess it doesn't happen that way anymore ! Looks like the torch is being carried forward by Richo, Bains...

Status quo.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Even Steven.
Neither fish nor fowl.
I could go on...

Comparatively, St Kilda HQ is an oasis of calm this year, while various other clubs implode,
players go club-shopping, AFL imposes sanctions, ASADA process grinds on, etc etc

Fortius quo fidelius with The Pelch, Richo and Summers!

Congrats to Ben. In some ways you could call him a 'reverse Pelchen'. He's a player Pelchen cleared out, to set the framework for 2016 and beyond, at the same time giving the Hawks a player to top-up the work he'd done there between 2005 and 2011. I'm thinking Pelchen could be sitting at home tonigh...

This Herald Sun story may tell more...I've read too many free articles and can't open it -

Interesting to chart the fall and rise of Port...

Big congrats to the Club and Eli, definitely a keeper - Goal sneak, future cult figure
if he isn't already.

Great move if it comes off.
Not quite the Junction Oval, but next door, and only a training base.
Gosh, the VCA are hard to shift from the Junction Oval.

This afternoon's tweets from Channel Nine court reporter Karen Huf, at the County Court hearing today... "Prosecutors asking for more time for Stephen Milne rape trial, set down for 24 November 10 days. Milne sits in dock at County Court." "Stephen Milne's defence tells County Court j...

A bogus theory in desperate search of facts to back it up...and whaddya know, there's an anomaly, and it's us. Let's make two swaps - You swap Clinton Jones (Age 30) for Eli Templeton (had his 19th birthday last week). You swap Lennnnny (Age 34) for Jack Billings (also turned 19 recently). Suddenly ...

Great video by the club, kudos to all concerned.

Damien Barrett and Gary Lyon also do a video review of the Saints season -

Barrett takes a pessimistic view because he wants to.
Gary Lyon has enjoyed too many cream buns.

Brilliant work gringo and Semper. That's a real human side of top-level footy we never see.

That is strange - 2 kicks, 1HP, 1 mark, 1 free against, 1 goal, 1 behind.

Really liked the second goal...clunked it round the body from 45 metres a la Plugger in his prime.
Made up for lacklustre first half.
Project player is right.

Funny stuff! You people crack me up. Going alone is fine...stay away from obvious d**kheads or p**sheads. Try to get near a few friendly Saints fans to exchange colourful banter - "That Lenny, a true servant of the Club", "That Conca, geez he's killing us" etc Ditto the above on ...

The way it's poised, it looks like we'll play a role in determining who gets eighth spot, Richmond MUST beat us tomorrow to temporarily grab eighth, pushing out Collingwood whose percentage is awful. Richmond probably won't beat Sydney in Sydney next week, and Collingwood probably won't beat Hawthor...

8000 members have fled since 2010. Definite failure to capitalise on membership success of Lyon era. And our nosedive to the bottom of the table, playing not-very-accountable football, can hardly be helping the cause. Meanwhile, Essendon is in ASADA-induced extremis, and their numbers have resoundin...

A $5000 cleanup fee for paper promotional products ? That's 200 manhours X $25 per hour to pick up a few extra Lenny signs or Riewoldt masks, over areas in the stands that the cleaning contractors WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING OVER ANYWAY. I say - the Cheer Squad should get back to ripping up phone book pag...

Ditto on Zac Dawson. That fifty he gave away at a critical stage of the game was just so
reminiscent of the clangers he used to make with the Saints, and reminded me why I wasn't sorry
to see him go.
