4 MASSIVE ERRORS 1. Beveridge. We had him. Why we chose a stuttering idiot over a legend like bevo is beyond me. 2. Billings over bont. Chose a snot nosed toorak kid who had a nice kick but also the grit of a demons player. 3. Petracca over McCartin. Chose a slow diabetic smallish KEY forward over ...

I'm Plugger and so's my wife

(c/o Life of Brian)

I was there too - standing in the outer with the few other sainters I could locate - and am also struck in retrospect by what a perfect Melbourne autumn afternoon it was. Walking back through Collingwood streets to my car (1978 Mazda 323) I was bursting with excitement at the win but realised the li...

Somewhat embarrassingly, I can make an educated guess. I take it as a reference to some quality "youth" TV - Jersey Shore. The ladies on that show refer to their preferred types - muscled guys with an Italian-American heritage - as "meatballs". Minchington looks a little like he ...

On what was an otherwise sullen evening, I will say that I thought the new "knock knock" introduced version of OWTSGMI just before the bounce was pretty, pretty good - especially when the tempo picked up. I am generally anti manufactured measures to gee up the fans (including the "mak...

I just sullied myself by watching the video.

Very sceptical.

The non-reportage by other news agencies may speak volumes.

Pies fans came in late on Sunday- I got there approx an hour pre game yesterday and the queue was just beginning. If Public transport a possible for you I'd say do it. Route 109 Box Hill to Port Melbourne- Raglan St stop just a few minutes away http://ptv.vic.gov.au/route/view/722 Cheers for the in...

Couldn't make it yesterday but am keen on going this week.

The TV coverage was making a lot of the queuing outside the ground.

Any suggestions on an arrival time that might avoid a significant wait (noting of course that the weather probably was a bit of a drawcard yesterday)?

I am moved to respond - largely by the fact that I am in "the West" on a work trip with nothing better to do and moving on to my 2nd pint... Not for the first time I am in the good Dr Spaceman's camp. Basically I want to win but the pain of defeat is mitigated at this stage of the cycle. I...

Apologies if this has been noted elsewhere but it appears that there is to be no TV coverage of this game.

Bit disappointing not to see the first hit out.

Yep, use it at every opportunity

Most of the story doesn't seem to relate to the headline. Maybe one of our resident lawyers could tell us what it all means. Lawyers for former St Kilda player Stephen Milne will decide this week if they will apply to have his rape trial abandoned. Defence barrister Ruth Shann told County Court jud...

Gilbo was pretty good, albeit nothing special and at the 3/4 time break was complaining of cramping up. Fought on well in the last though. Spence was getting to the contest well and had a bit of luck on his side with some of his goals. So neither should play for the Saints next week if commonsense ...

Just watched the replay and I endorse this comment - particularly in relation to Eddie.

Lenny the 'candy man'. Sold more candy than our local milk bar. The GF's the 50 mtrs bomb against filth and that tackle against the doggies after knee surgery. 1 of the all time greats of our club. That goal is simultaneously one of my best and worst football memories. It represents the outright gu...

Mick Dwyer looked more like Krusty the Clown than Mr. Burns. A few fans called him "Krusty". "Taxi" seemed to be his more prominent nickname though. Thought he was a good contributor for a team in over a few years. He ended up playing in Fitzroy's very last team in 1996. That's ...

Thanks CJ, but its time to go.

Sadly, I have reached the same point after today's game.

It will be moved back here when there is significant news that impacts on the AFL competition and therefore St Kilda. Until then a shadow sits on this forum and the thread is on the Opposition Forum. I support this. Recent posts on the thread had close to nothing at all to do with footy, let alone ...

Surely we have a PR department that should vet things like this? Not prepared to accept the excuse that players did it off their own bat without consulting the club. Serious questions need to be asked of our "leadership group", surely one amongst them would have questioned the PR implicat...

What it would mean is that at the close of the prosecution "case" at committal - when the balance of the hand-up brief is tendered- the defence did not take up their opportunity to submit to the Magistrate that there is not sufficient evidence to commit. This is, in its practical effect, ...

as i said..the guy's gutless......the evidence doesn't stand up for mine....and there is not enough there for a jury to be satisfied beyound reasonable doubt....victorian magistrates are notorious for rubber stamping briefs and sending them upstairs...... ...
