This website has become such a p1ssing contest. So much negativity. So many keyboard experts. Life isn't perfect we won let's see how we develop as the year goes on. So when we perform poorly, do you get more or less confident that we're on the right track? Personally, I get less confident, but tha...

If I had ten million bucks I'd take a helicopter to games, but I don't. We keep kicking terribly, at some point it has to be a trend.

Sorry mate, I want more than a win against a basket case, after a three year rebuild... I want us to be a good team On what I've seen, that we are not, not by a long stretch... in fact, if you were honest, you'd have to agree that we are disappointing at this point in time Yes. A win's a win, but i...

Hate to do it, but: "If we go for the best player and we think Petracca is in front, we’re going to have to pay a million plus to get the forward we need. The market is saying that now. So let's get one in now and get him to fall in love with our footy club." That's such a bulls*** line of...

Biggest plus Ross Will go from C Grade to B Grade I hope you're right, we've been waiting a while for him. This will be his 5th year of senior footy and he's only played 37 games. Brad Hill was taken a few picks later in the same draft and has 75 games and 3 premierships under his belt. Others from...

The Essendon Football club has not received any official penalty for it's systematic cheating. Any other "hardship" they may have suffered has been the consequence of their own actions. Any hardship they suffer, the rest of the competition also feels. They're not a separate entity to St K...

You think they haven't been penalised repeatedly over the last three years?

Jarryn Geary and David Armitage both successfully filled in for him at various stages in 2015.

What could "successfully filled in for him" possibly mean? They didn't kill anyone when they were captain?

Brodie Atkinson? One of the Gowans boys?

Ain't much left.... Spencer

Yep, not much left. Not worth sooking about tbh, direct your energies elsewhere.

It's great that Essendon get to pick from the whole nation of uncontracted senior players to fill their list... And we get to upgrade a player that we've already decided isn't good enough for our senior list. Are you really jealous? They get to choose from players who have proven they're not good e...

Daniel Healy? I certainly don't remember the game you're referring to though, so probably not him. Jamie Shanahan? (no chance)

Thanks saintbrat. Hopefully this one is easy enough. Name the last four players to wear number 7 for the Saints. I think I can only do three: Dunstan Lenny Nicky That takes us to 87 which is basically when I started watching footy. No idea who it was before that, but since it was the 80s I'm going ...

Similar to you mate, signed up in 2004 (though a bit later than you) and have posted about 7000 times.

The tests run on water are very different to those that Asada do on blood & urine. She may have contacts in the science community, but doubt she would have organised tests on her sons sample's. Nah mate, all scientists are the same. Similar to why some random geologist is an expert on global wa...

Just result overall. Finally. Unfortunately it's bad for the competition as a whole. All the clubs are in the same financial boat so any money this costs (for instance in lawyer's fees) is just money out of the pockets of the AFL and therefore of the clubs. The poorest clubs like us are the ones who...

Right, but given Arsenal's injury record of the last six or eight years, not to mention the number of trophies we have on our shelf, it might be worth him rethinking that!

Telstra's work on the club websites hasn't been widely known for its competence.

Sinclair's definitely on the senior list, it just hasn't been updated for whatever reason.

Aussie?

He played 19 in his first season, then 22, 25, 23, 19. Was barely injured in his whole career.

We paid a lot for a guy with terrible injury history and eight weeks later he was injured again. We paid even more for a known d**khead and within eight hours he was in trouble. They were both high risk decisions. Let's hope the long run sees them OK because right now they look dubious in the extreme.

Presidents should be not seen and not heard. Finnis is doing all the work, Summers just needs to turn up to board meetings and ask the right questions.

As someone suggested... Not sure how they were able to do so but???

Presumably because they follow a bunch of St Kilda players on Twitter. I don't so I'm not sure how you expected me to magically know who said it?

I know you hate giving attribution but it might be easier to interpret that if you told us who said it.

I don't rate Armo as leader (obviously without personal knowledge) and I don't think anyone else is close to the mark, so I think Rooey should stay on. Fair enough but can I ask why you don't rate him as a leader and who will be Captain in the next 2 years if it isn't Armo? No idea who might be cap...
