Ah for the days when the world was full of newsworthy things like wars and famines and heated politics and an environment debate.

Oh. Hang on.

The Shire Virus has taken hold.

Quite possibly.

Yeah, no discount.

Six for mine. And his blatant psychotic weirdness may well - in a sense - domino his coach out of a job...

Not good any way you look at it.

What on earth was he thinking?

On reflection I think Merrett's looks worse than it was. Clumsy, yes. Not sure it was actually malicious. Maybe...

But I think Rich got off EXTREMELY lightly. Seriously cowardly.

It's not peculiar to St Kilda, P66. The bias thing happens in every game. Listen top Bruce cover Essendon or Hawthorn...sickening...

I just want a game call...

I don't want a barracking call...

I couldn't overcome the coom's preoccupation with how poor Roo was when his numbers were the equivalent of the apparently infallible Jon Brown who seemed to raise heightened expectations simply for appearing on screen (which he didn't do often). Both blokes struggled in the slippery cluttered condit...

More worried about Dal's knee :( Joey seemed to be OK, he was looking great for a second week also. Worse case it helps when you have BJ and Steven waiting in the wings. Is it just me or is Montagna maybe slowly turning into grubby jumpered in and under type? Every time I noticed him he was up to h...

It's seriously crap after dark. Dewy, slippery and the grass is super long.

Makes for a ordinary night spectacle.

But to view footy at live it ROCKS.

Love those open air bars.

Simpkin 10 X 1%, Geary and Dempster 9 X 1%...love how the defence is shaping up. Very solid effort - such high workrate in that back six... Add Gilbert. Plenty of run, six strong marks, and although everyone will s*** on him from storey's up for a couple of errant kicks - one he missed a target goi...

Lenny will never be out of a job..... Salary won't be an issue He will be a much sought after assistant coach, and GWS will lead the charge with an open cheque book. Nice assumption. Dropping from say 500k to 200k Is an issue I would think if you have just bought s house. And who said he wants to g...

I reckon Ledger is being given time to top up the tank.

Simple as that.

There is no point playing guys who can't yet run it out.

And besides, as you say BM, there hasn't really been a slot for him in the middle.

I HOPE Goose plays on Roo.

We assume it will be a scrap. Everyone also assumed Swans, Blues and Dons would be much of the same kind of result. Perhaps the new gameplan may not be so bad at the yo gabba gabba? I think most are assuming a scrap because of the weather and maybe the ground conditions. Im not sure many would have...

I've told Koz a millions times...STOP SNOGGING GRAMMY!!!!!

Can't control himself, the big guy...

I'm with BM.

Common sense.

If it looks bad, it is bad.

Would anyone really argue if Wellingham got 5?

Looked a 5 to me. High, likely intent, player broken.

Simpson misses for min 4 weeks with a broken jaw.

Wellingham gets a midseason rest for 3.

Awesome bit of adjudicating.

Really well thought through.

Intoxicatingly fair.

Immeasurable in its reasonableness

I don't mind BT trying to be funny, but without another caller it sounds ridiculous. He's surrounded by special comments blokes...

Mind you I can't forgive him for confusing Gwilt for Hayes the other night...

I mean, how can one actually do that?

Should have been 5 to 4.

Lucky as.

God this is funny. StK players can do NO wrong can they?? He got wasted, had a sleep and drove whilst still effected, simple as that. Dehydrated, with the amount of fluid they take in after/during games, they even get weighed after games. It's not like when club players share a slab in the rooms af...

Will be slippery and 'orrible (conditions in which we suck) and altho Lions lack polish, they rarely give in.

Close. Saints by 15 or so. We'll get a fright in the muck.

I don't care if it's by 1. To string two together is all I'm after.

Kosi's report more than likely occurred when he dropped the knees into the back of Dempsey with about 12.50 on the clock in the 3rd quarter. If it is for that then it is a joke report. The umpire just says knee in the back and your free. Hope it is for that. He will be available next week. Wasn't i...

After reading all this. No wonder our club has a problem with being a professional. So our lab rats should be tee totalling lab rats simply because that's what you require. Let me be clear.
