Anyone this week who refuses to eat steak that is cooked 'rare' - out of the team!!!!!!!

Line up the players on thursday and anyone who doesn't have a steely resolve in the eyes - out of the team!!!!!!!

Get the picture

It's understandable that Bakes would bask and reminisce in past glories, but unless teams improve and coaches improve and gameplans get smarter, then you will be found out. List management has also changed. What has'nt changed is the ability of attacking footballers to have an impact in footy games....

Didn't Freo headhunt Lyon so they could get results while they still have Mcpharlin, Sandilands and Pavlich? Didn't they think that the list was basically right, and all they needed was a hard ass to coach them? Isn't that also the spiel that Lyon used to get the gig? I mean, if it was about rebuild...

What fricken acknowledgement is there from Lyon that his ultra defensive gameplan or his coaching on the day, or his coaching groups preparation of the players was half to blame for the result in the derby on the weekend? Dickexcoach has only been there for 9 rounds and he's already talking of 'movi...

Drawing on my own personal experience, I find it hard to understand how kids cannot be influenced by their parents allegiances when it comes to the footy. How can you follow an AFL team and not be a passionate supporter. How can you go to the footy and not barrack or cheer your team or at least appl...

I don't want to be 'realistic'. Realistic means that you put a ceiling on what you can achieve. Realistic means that you strive for mediocrity. I would argue that our team could surprise with our regulars building confidence and with Gwilt and Lenny back this year and right now with competition for ...

His mental toughness and his ability to tag some of the best midfielders and do it for 4 quarters has earnt the respect of the footy world. He is not easily replaced. Clinton Jones is not a passenger.

Whenever sex is mentioned someone always brings up KD. Signs there of an infatuation

Yep...hit me with pot kettle...i deserve it

Sure he has no idea about goal attack...but his timing was right when he scored the Saints gig and when he scored the Freo gig

Built his reputaion off the back of the blood, sweat and bruises of a bunch of footy legends and guys with huge tickers - champion Saints team that deserves another crack

Did our players carry Lyon? In late 2006, a senior coach from another club said coaching the St Kilda list was akin to being offered sex with Elle Macpherson.

It's topped off my week end

Eagles Low scoring by Dockers as you'd expect...they kicked 3 goals up 'til half time...and they just kicked one solitary point for the whole of the third. Footyexpertsmyarse...they'll be saying dickexcoach is doing what he can with the list...and they'll still be saying he's one of the best coaches...

Does he reckon we could finish anywhere between premiers and somewhere in the mix for finals? Did he have a smirk on his face that couldn't be removed?

Did he say the efforts over the last 3 weeks have been mostly.... pleasing?

That c**k knocker Finey was saying it's jack's fault for having a funny running style so he hobbles anyway so it will be disgraceful if Mc Glynn goes down for it. Maybe he should just go follow the dons or someone else, most negative fan ever and I read the stuff on here. Something totally unrelate...

Sorry SainterK. As much as I admire and respect your opinions, the boy is far from an automatic selection. Great courage, but serious deficiencies elsewhere. At the risk of raising the ire of an SS legend, I doubt he'll make it in the long term. I reckon Gears has established himself as an automati...

Just doesn't seem to be able to elevate to the next level... Had a lot of time now. Last year he did string consecutive games for the first time in all his years with us when Lenny went down....in any case, having a lot of time under a coach who is sh1t at developing young players doesn't mean sh1t...

CJ is a quality stopper and Ray has found another gear - yeah he's doing OK too (Gears that is). Sippa or Cripper might be vulnerable, but for mine, the guy with number 1 on his back is the number 1 pick to paly with Sandy. Gram hasn't been attacking the footy like Gilbert does and can't take one of...

Great work. ty for the link

No excuse for Roo to be pissed. People in glass houses.... - you know the saying. I saw Roo go off at Jacky boy as well. It was in the 3rd quarter and Jack had won the loose ball just before it went out of bounds. Instead of kicking it to Roo, who was leading into the pocket, Jack went to bomb it to...

Mum here. Very proud of my boy tonight. ;) Seriously though, I hope JJ is OK. Nobody can question his spot in the side now, he has cemented it well and truly IMO. Very happy for him.... His courage and his attack on the footy came when the game was in the balance. Gears actions personify the differ...

I reckon with Roo's career we need to look at his impact to the team throughout his 200+ games, and I guarantee you he's been more influentual in games he's played and in our winning culture than any other player during his time at the Saints. Add to that Roo's impact as the captain during the Lyon ...

Lyon coached us to a 20-2 home and away season where both losses were by less than a kick ...... His legacy reflects an overriding theme of poor development and lack of opportunity provided to youngsters throughout his tenure. The board and the CEO were not responsible for team selection. That was ...

What'dya expect....didn't u know that UMPS LOVE BIG COX
