If they have reached that conclusion...great....I'm no particular RB fan....I will say this though...he put his hand up and got the club back on its feet commercially and on the field competitively....I think he deserves better than be exited under the cloud of cronism and drug and alcohol abuse...n...

JeffDunne - no Jeff that is my point...what Westaway started can lead to those sort of reprisals and ridiculous trumped up statements...the damage is done by creating and projecting that kind of explosive stuff into the public arena.... How many people would suspect now illicit drug taking by the St...

Leo.J - whether it is true or not is irrelevant...without having the balls to make a clear statement of accusation, or the discretion and character to handle it behind the scenes , he has managed to besmirch the incumbants characters in a gutless backhanded way. Come on Westaway tell us what you know.

Spot on... Westaway opens up a Pandora's box. As I've said on another thread RB should state that his ticket stands for a complete abstinence from tax evasion, secret cash payments, wife bashing, homosexuality and terrorrism....not that his opponents should take offence just so there are no rumours ...

ausfatcat, what question was asked? My understanding is that they rolled out their policy of non-drinking and non-narcotics!!! Non-narcotics FFS!!!! And then goes on to say that the incumbents shouldn't take offence. Rod Butterss could come back and say " No worries Mr Westaway...well our ticke...

disgraceful politicking from Westaway's ticket... I'm no Rod Buttres' fan, but there's no way I'll vote for Westaway after that opening gambit.... What will RB come back with.... "We stand for being free of tax evasion, under the table cash payments and never cheating on wives on footy trips!!!...

I reckon his fitness is already there....he runs out games better then any others in the side. Goddard off HBF with Sam Fisher and Gramy on a wing....don't mind Gilbertr developing into a midfielder either! Hayes, Ball and hopefully Armo to be the grunts in the the middle with Monty, Gram, Fiora out...

B: L.Fisher.............Max..........Baker HB: Sam Fisher....Goose........Goddard C: Gram...........Hayes...........Fiora HF: X.Clarke.......Roo.............Gilbert F: Milne..............Kosi..........Raph Clarke R: Gardiner, Ball , Dal Santo I/C: Birss, Watts, Blake, Harvey EMG: Armitage, Allen, Ri...

No trade....but he should have been rested since at least the Collingwood game. He is an enormous talent that we continue to treat with a very short sighted approach. I reckon the great game he played against the Hawks where he racked up posis, all of a sudden kicked the ball 50m and got his dash ba...

Just retire with dignity Aaron and spare us another year of fudging us along with being always 2 weeks away...save us 400,000 and let us spend it on someone who can get on the field.

Fantastic effort chaps...my second favourite Dylan song...(after One More Cup of Coffee for the Road....which is all we'll have to look forward to if we don't win next week!)

was a great game....just a crap result...thought we deserved a draw at least

He took a ripper mark though!

Good first up post mate...but can't agree on Joey...I thought he was pretty ordinary tonight...and missed that goal in the last qtr that he just had to kick.

Reiwoldt 5 Lenny 4 Gram 3 S.Fisher 2 Dal Santo 1 PAssengers tonight: Goose - worse than no impact Monty (no impact tonight), Raph - awful 2nd half...he's really got to make his mind up if he's prepared to do what it takes to be a footballer, M Clarke - time to retire Matty, my bones ache for you. Lu...

The turnover that led to a goal that he created from nowhere in the first qtr was exceptional...this bloke is the spiritual centre of the StKFC.

Leigh Fisher really butchered the ball for while there...would have preferred to see him and Ferguson swap roles and let Chips tahe Le Cras and Ferg be creative at HFF

Terrible tonight...orst on ground for mine, slow and ineffective...thrashed by Lynch who looked awesome. Goose still not anything like what he was last year....we really missed Max. I thought we actually really ad a good crack at it tonight: Roo was brilliant, Hayes and Dal very good but too many no...

GIANSIRACUSA vs KOSI

I've been out of it for the last 2 days, but I've just logged on to find Baker has been given 7 weeks!!!! Is this right FFS?? We have been bent over by the tribunal once again. No video of the incident and conflicting evidence by a biased source....where is natural justice??? We have to get angry an...

This is why Sam Gilbert sticks out like a sore thumb as a young recruit who has actually developed into a really good player.... he should be among a group of 5 or 6 good young players instead of being a lone soldier.... have a look at the development of West Coast...(or even Collingwood, Brisbane a...

yes to harvey, yes to Gardiner....no the others...Gehrig i hate to say looks gone, can't tackle, chase or provide any second effort, unles he's kicking 4 or more he is a liability.

Kaos Theory - We've had a much better draw this year than last year for instance in terms of breaks, travel and we play Carlton, Doggie, Freo and Tigers twice(4 out of 6 in the bottom 8...including 15th and 16th team!)...on the whole a better draw...simply saying the Hawks and Kangaroos have improve...

Hang on a minute - I'm not posting to have a go at Lyon, really just to note retrospectively how well GT did with an injury hit list and how little credit he gets for it ...look at Melbourne with its injury list and where it ended up compaed to Saints playing finals...I actually think Lyon has done ...

Ross Lyon this year has had better injuries overall and a better draw with less 6 day breaks and less travel, than GT did over the last 3 years where he got us to two Prelim's and final 8 last year. We won by bigger margins and were rarely flogged. I know it is Lyon's first year, but overall it give...
