If anyone tuned in to Triple M this morning, they had Ian Prendergast on the phone and Ed put him on blast. Said repeatedly that the manager has completely stitched the Saints up and he is outraged. Ed, Mick and Darce all praised the Saints for how they've handled it. But none were buying what Pren...

It's just that those Cat dickheads were excellent at football.

No dickheads policy and 'culture' is the biggest myth in our game.

Agree.

Winning hides all sins.

A few questions to his manager who already knew about the video might have raised alarm bells. ?? Something like this?? STKFC: oh Mr Manager is there anything you are holding back from us? Carlisle's manager: you pesky kids, i was going to get away with it, but despite being the sort of person who ...

Drafting is a weight of numbers game so pick 14 really isn't worth much. You want to have a good draft, you need to take a pick inside 10 and multiple inside 30. At this point we may as well trade 14 away as well. It all comes down to the output we get from Carlisle and Freeman. The way I see it we...

Just look at LeBron v the Spurs.

I think we'll all be pretty happy if our trading replicates LeBron's record in Miami.

The sky is caving in, the saints pick up a ready made key defender, a top 10 pick from 2 years ago and still have a pick in the first round, what a horrible, horrible trade period.

The pick is gone, it aint coming back.

That said, the video maybe what it is alleged to be, but come on, a video recording of a video recording of a stitched together video? That is all you need now to publicly cast aspersions on a persons character?

Seriously?

Hi all, Quick question, has any club during the trade period gone to the AFL and said “If we trade for a player listed in WADA’s Charge Sheet against Essendon’s 20112 program, will the AFL compensate/insure us with an equivalent player/draft pick, in the event that we trade, and the player is suspe...

No, I do not believe the club is being pig-headed. This isn't the supermarket, you don't have to pay the ticket price. Essendon have negotiated themselves into a better position, good for them, that doesn't mean we have to just meekly fold, it is still incumbent on those negotiating to get the best ...

We are managing our list. No question we could have retained players and fought tooth and nail for a 14-16 place finish and found ourselves where we are now in a few years but without Riewoldt, Montagna and co to lead. But none of this is news, the club has been extremely up front about it, ofcourse...

Seriously???

Who cares if two players who could make no impact on the game, were disinterested in watching their team mates get obliterated.

How about we save our outrage for something remotely important.

Perhaps I am biaised but i look at the 2014 draw and see us possibly winning 10 games - WHY have the opposition supporters written us off as this years competition easy beats? You're biased. I see us having a chance in the first 2 games of the year, but am struggling to see where we can win another...

Seriously? I, like many others on this forum, can remember back to the late 70s early 80s when there was a real chance our club may have ceased to exist. Or it may have been relocated to another state like South Melbourne and Fitzroy. And here are some people worried about where a NAB Challenge gam...

This has to be one of the biggest taking the piss "issues" of all time. Seaford is 25mins down the road from Moorabbin, 25 mins!! Sure I unnderstand initial reluctance but a professional moves past that, we are talking 25mins!! As for fears that the press will never cover us, you only had ...

This is the problem with the soap opera world football journalism has become. Facts detailed: St Kilda have notified Richmond they wish to approach Mark Williams regarding their now vacant senior coaching position Brett Ratten has advised Hawthorn, St Klilda have not approached him about their vacac...

His opinion has more validity and credibility than SS members.... Just the realistic truth?! ?? Ok. But the fact remains that he is still a human being, and human beings are fallible. In this case, he has used emotion, rather than facts, to come to his conclusion. Does this mean he is wrong?? No it...

We have to trust that the club can! (get it right!) and maybe, just maybe, not be quite so eager to see failure before it actually occurs! We all need to be united behind the club. We don't have to trust them at all. Trust is a two way street not something you expect. The club's handling of the sac...

He's got an opinion which has criticised stk.... So it won't even be heard on SS Has anyone even stopped to consider that he might have a point? It means you might have to open one eye though.... And an arrogant wanker maybe..... Clueless..... Don't think so No question, blindly dismissing criticis...

The blokes gettin half a mill next year to go on holidays - he ll be right . Yeah its hard for guys like Watters to come back from something like this ( Its hard to think what his next job will be ). That's the reason for contracts though, it lets them make financial commitments without risk of the...

Yeah, not sure a story about Ports assistant staying on needs 5 ring circus and hapless references about another club that may or may not be interested in him.

I read the article differently. I actually read it as questioning the Dermie like responses that Watters' sacking was further evidence of poor culture. He poses the hypothetical "if we won 1 or both gf's" would culture even be a question and by extension if it wasnt how can two bounces of ...

10 home games at Etihad is good. Happy with no home MCG games. Seems to be less 440 games and more day games overall. Quite a few 320 but that extra 80 minutes makes all the difference with little kids. As a fan you might be, but considering the club asked for more, not less home games at the MCG, ...

It used to be great, when the concept of loyalty and tribalism was part of the game. But it's not anymore. So the silly outdated concept should be canned totally.. C'mon. 7 Non Delisted Free Agents took up their right, and signed with other clubs. In a competition with over 700 players, that's a ra...

I have said the reasons. I dont think 2 rucks who havent proven they can play forward works in footy these days. You are right, you can't have two ruckmen that can't play forward in the same side. Stats don't support my opinion that Hickey will prove to be a solid forward option when resting off th...
