They would have the cap space because they were prepared to pay Kelly if he stayed and he would have wanted as much as Hill And, the suggestion they were prepared to pay Kelly was laughed off in about 2 nanoseconds. Everyone knew he was going home, and they knew that last year. Would they have been...

The question to be asked is, Hill has nominated St Kilda where (apparently) he will be the ONLY A Grade player we will have, the rest C and D Grade and worse as we are constantly reminded by a serial, recalcitrant contributor on here - and, to boot, our administration is not up to standard So Hill ...

What's the delta between what Kelly was paid at Geelong, and the $900k p.a. we've offered Hill? Kelly spent 2 years at Geelong, which would have been the standard 2 year contract for draftees, would it not? And, didn't Ablett play for peanuts, so they could stay under the cap? How in the hell could ...

If we do not actually land Hill this trade period will not end up being what we hoped. Of all the players who want to come to us he is the one we most need and who will make the most difference to us. We should certainly not pay vast offers for him but without him acquisitions are more the support ...

Lol. Oh please. It does if you really want it to. If you look at it objectively however, there is no way that that, combined with the other evidence - proves he is guilty of "making unreasonable or unnecessary contact to the eye region of Lachie Neale". To be honest, I don't really have a...

Apparently the sample wasn’t urine so how would he expect them not to notice in the laboratory. I......(cough) pissed meself laughin' when I heard the Wet Toast chief of something, or other, respond to a query about WTF had happened, by saying Wee Willie had supplied.................. "..........

Wow, sack another contracted coach? I'm sure that will do us a world of good in securing a quality replacement. The process was to build talent and pick off a couple of free agenets in 2018/2019. Richo should see out his contract and his part of the process. Like many have written on this thread, c...

I see that Brandon White has been selected for Sandringham. So effectively dropped from the Gold Coast game. Just unbelievable! That is actually astonishing. Sam Rowe selected ahead of Brandon White. Just think about that for a moment. Extraordinary. Am furious about that. Who will blame him when h...

Heard pre game on Sen Andy Maher asked Lethlean about Clark and what he needs to do to get into the side. His reply included the comment " we believe he will be a 200 game player in this league" NOT "We believe he will be a 200 game player for our club" Perhaps it was just a sli...

without fighting with teddybear and cairnsy. It also seems it’s been a week where the tide has significantly turned now with the wider supporter group and those two are the only ones left defending the indefensible. I would too if I was employed by this current iteration of the football dept. I spo...

Very classy. Wishing a deadly avian influenza on a human being that is a husband and father plus the coach of our footy club. Totally classy. 💪 Plus the post is clear baiting at it's no 1 finest.

Confucius say: 'St. Kilda ordinaly team' Now we've been to China, 'beer in a blue can', and we become able to get to grips with where Confucianism and Taoism overlap and intersect, we'll be world beaters. Coaching wise, I can see some of that being a problem; "Those who know do not say; those ...

interesting you raise Lissa Johnson and her work TOT I was rather taken aback last week by a poster talking about "supposed supporters who hate winning" when discussing coming away being unsatisfied / unconvinced about beating Carlton the role of narrative and smear to marginalise and ali...

What rubbish to blame Richo. With at least 4 or 5 players not good enough and the better ones with after effects from illness, Clarkson wouldn’t have done better. Tripe. There are swags of supporters who are way smarter than simply resorting to 'blame'. How about some of the 'ya can't BLAME Richo' ...

Yep for OP. Great post but some supporters can't keep their emotions in check or think rationally after a thumping which is hopefully our first and last for the year. They need to cool their heels for 48 hours and then look back at the China game objectively. If only...but the next 4-6 weeks will s...

Don't be fooled if there are five or six changes next time we play He'll probably drop Darragh, Nick, Robbie, or Matty, or maybe Ben Long or maybe Ed. Plus Gears and 1 or 2 others won't come up due to injuries. Easy decisions for him. The hard decisions would be to drop 3-4 of his senior players or...

Tasmania, Wellington, and now Shanghai. We never do these things well at all, and all that ends up happening is that we lose all momentum and it stuffs up seasons. I hope we are getting a million a game, or else we are getting schooled. Townsville in two weeks. Yay! Id rather make big profit and ge...

WTF, people target a 19 year old, an emergency call up & asked to stop a rampaging Port midfield? I'm sorry, your idea of development is worse than the club's. That's saying something! Port wingers began lining up on the forward side, that's how bad our mids are. Yet he's copping it. Look at th...

This is a footy board, not a political one Mr Marine Animal. Anyway, the people voted and made their choice. That is democracy at work. Just cos 'Mr Marine Animal' does me the honour of quoting one of my more elaborate episodes of wordsmithery, which was a heart felt response to a complete bonehead...

Deserves his spot as shown in preseason. Clark stiff but needs more consistency in his game. He will get there. Yes, if what we're after is someone who when he gets somewhere near the pill, even lays hands on it, proceeds to go to ground, and get 'wrapped up' by any opponent within the same postcod...
