Re: Dunstan

Maybe the club's staff have hit the right formula with developing Dunstan.
I hope they learn from this...
and apply to other players

Re: Saints Back in for Dusty

Waldron says we want Dusty.
Brad Hardie said a few weeks back, that Lyon's reps rang the Filth.
Barrett said Dempster was unhappy at the Saints with not being picked.

Are these media types just like the old guy in the pub who looks at everyone through one bleary eye?

Re: Staging

Umps react in the heat of the moment. Maybe they yell out "report" to try to defuse a potential melee, and they think they saw something untoward. But their job is to apply the rules of the game, and if they believe there was a reportable offence, they should report it. It's fine. The trib...

Re: Left field pickups in upcpming trade period

Jasper Pittard is about to be re-signed with the Power for 3 years. Injectors were reportedly interested in him. I know not much about him, but he was a Restricted FA http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-22/free-agent-to-resign-and-stay-with-power (original post mentioned Crows, because I don't give a...

Re: AFL should suspend Ross Lyon this week

In a 2-team town like Perth, the media just focuses on the flavour of the month.
Freo's plight is uninteresting because of exactly what dragit said.

Re: AFL should suspend Ross Lyon this week

Is it odd that the talk in WA is for the Eagles coach to be sacked, not Freo's. I suspect Ross the Boss will not last long into 2018, he has developed nothing and used up Sandilands and Fyfe and Freo play crap footy. I am guessing he will resign to spend more time with his family rather than wait t...

Re: Out of the Kelly race?

I'd like to think that the club has learnt something from the Carlisle trade. No point flagging your desperation. Imagine going to a house auction, and before the auction, inside the house, saying in a loud voice "I LOVE this house, check out the loungeroom, theatre room, man-cave- OMG" St...

Re: Cutthroat Jake Facing

Cleared of both. Insufficient force. From AFL website: The MRP has also thrown out two match-day reports on St Kilda defender Jake Carlisle for striking North Melbourne opponents Luke McDonald and Declan Mountford. Both incidents involved open hands to the chest, with the force deemed to be below t...

Re: 35 is the new 26

He has looked classed from his first appearance in the 2015 pre-season. Certainly a bonus we picked up from drafting Billings who I believe recommended him to the club. He should have played every game this year when several others of lesser talent were being selected. We might even be in the top e...

Re: Richo on the bench

I wonder if tomorrow night's Footy Classified will have
Caro and the Lawnmower Man bagging Richo for this.

Another coach would be lauded as "genius" and "cutting edge"

Re: Cutthroat Jake Facing "Striking" Charges

That North P###tah should be charged with acting. Weaker than Clayton Oliver! wasnt even a punch, really. More of a forceful shove to the top of the chest, but the Norf numpty grabbed his throat, what a weak attempt at acting. Don't the MRP ask the club doctor for a report? What's the doc going to ...
