I was at the B&F on Saturday night and not once but twice the MC Craig Willis asked that fans not approach players for autographs and photos. Of course, everyone ignored him but 20 minutes later he repeated the request. Obviously someone had complained. I think this is a bit rich from the club w...

Doesn't have a ticket.
God I choked up watching that.

Article mentions that Butterss has already split with the mrs. Didn't they just get married at the start of the year?

I yelled out when Goddard knocked Thomas to the ground. I was sitting on that flank (top level mind you) and got to my feet demanding that they dig a whole and simply bury him then and there. I've long said I couldn't wait for the day Dale Thomas got split down the middle and seeing it right in fron...

I heard Tom Simpkin in for Montagna.

Wow!....Awesome..no really, I'm just speechless... To have additional footage of the most significant event in the club's history surface 43 years afterwards! and tracked down by Russell Holmesby, the club historian...can't wait to hear the story of that hunt. ...and the timing of this is just exqu...

Just as a matter of interest, do they look closely at the photo on the card on Grand Final day?

Asking for dodgy reasons obviously, so anyone with a moral objection to this need not reply.

that game just rams home that niggling doubt in the back of my mind. The '97 Saints were awesome, we smacked most sides that year. Got into the finals the easy way, and yes we lost Everitt, but Cook came into replace him. The crows made it to the GF the hard way, and they were without Modra and tha...

Fair enough for Roos to point out the holding, just like he pointed out the Swans holding and hands in the back of WCE players in the 2005 GF when Barry took that mark. Oh he didn't say anything about that??? Well I'll be.... Judd and Sampi's jumpers got a good stretching out in that one. http://ww...

Shady memories...Marcou hadn't played with us for about four years by that stage.

35 touches - so what? Maybe his teammates feed him the pill because they don't have any confidence themselves? Then how do you explain all the high-possession games he had for West Coast when he was in the midfield with Judd and Kerr - two players not exactly short on ability and confidence. Judd a...

I think this hypothetical has been suggested not as a way of improving what we've done (15-0 is pretty well flawless) but more what could make a difference at the end of the season. Imagine if we got done by Geelong by less than a kick in the GF and just a bit more depth in the midfield would have m...

Apart from the fact that he is probably the biggest sook to ever play sport. The most self obsessed player to ever play the game.. i know, but at least he doesn't go around clocking st kilda players like his old man. Did you see little Gazza's reaction after the game on Sunday? I haven't seen that ...

Barry Hall to quit the Swans today.

I know we won't take him. Just wanted to imply that Sydney has a bad culture and we would make a good citizen out of him.

So sick of hearing the myth suggesting the opposite.

From what I can tell it is unlikely he will ever play again. For any team at any level.

Some good points there. Doesn't seem too keen to talk about Geelong...

Not wanting to speculate but I'm trying to imagine the scene the club are setting. Steven Baker was sitting around and someone approached him and hit him. What happened next is the interesting point. I'm tipping Bakes didn't just say "Ouch. That hurt. Barman, please escort this man off the prem...

Good to know this is still causing unrest all these years on.
Remember the sh1tfight when we first got Tooheys as a sponsor?

We weren't even allowed to mention the brand on the banner, it had to be '2-hees'

Agree 100 per cent. Players get injured. It affects teams.
That's the way it's always been. You win some, you lose some.

Not sure you can include Hall as he really only played one year of that decade.

Tynan.

I spoke to Russell Holmesby about this and he says that there was a team in 1859 calling itself St Kilda, but it is unclear how long it lasted. Our origins do go back to South Yarra which was a gun team in the 1860s and won the championship cup in the mid 1860s. The interesting thing he told me is t...

Big news for us. Their two best key defenders at the moment both ruled out.
And Selwood still won't be back.
