Potential members and sponsors don't line up to get on board losing teams, nor are they terribly interested in clubs rebuilding etc etc... it's a cut-throat comp and we need to show improvement by winning more games in 2014 So what are you suggesting? We don't look to the future but bust our guts t...

Punch "NBA tanking" into google and see how effective draft lotteries are at stopping tanking.

You mean win a lot of games like in 2009 and 2010 where the majority of our home games were Sunday Twilight. We could win every game and would still get a dud draw because we are not a side with 50000 members. Your premise is incorrect, across 2010-11 (the years after we played in GF's the times ti...

Great post joffaboy. Caroline Wilson's is yet another piece of pure speculation, apparently if enough people speculate this becomes fact. So far this off season everyone bar the waterboy has been repotedly on the trade table. The club in response categorically claims under no circumstances will Joey...

Look at this way.... How much money did the St Kilda Football Club lose this year? Then tell me how much money the St Kilda Football Club played a role in generating for the AFL overall by playing each week? I'd bet you that the second figure far outwieghs the first. Therefore, 8 clubs losing money...

They haven't proven anything.

Ask most neutrals and they say we've lost a fair few of our trades.

Just because we are active, doesn't mean it's a good thing.

What trades have we "lost" over the last two seasons?

I think perhaps Pelchen is posturing to trade Dal, and pick 17 for Delaney and picks 8 & 26. North have already offered 26 and Delaney for Dal... throwing in the 8 for 17 means North lose nothing as they can still use 17 for Luke McDonald and the Saints get a pretty fair deal for Dal. Win Win.....

.said that you can blame roo for ball leaving.....said the saints wanted him to take a pay cut so that they could pay roo more.......also that ball and roo haven't spoken to each other since ball left......so there may be more than a tad of truth in what you are saying..... Ball left because Lyon d...

Let's piss fart around and try and sign up SW next year when it's too late. I don't understand why we would be in any rush to extend the contract of a second year coach who has a year left on his contract. Seemingly Paul Roos' appointment at Melbourne has made us the focus of the press and their ba...

The 8 year rebuild timing seems inconsistent with the impatience shown by the media to coaches of rebuilding clubs. May well be correct, but it is a guess with a few years added for dramatic effect. With clever drafting and use of free agency there is no reason our descent needs to be anywhere near ...

Yep, it's the mcg's fault.

A city full of $10-15 car parks a 10-15 min walk away but you sit in traffic waiting for your favourite instead.

You are kidding aren't you.

Stand him aside until acquittal trial. In the albeit unlikely event he doesn't have to go to trial then reinstate him immediately. If it goes to trial then he should retire. If he gets off then he can do a lap of honour next season. If guilty then probably a lap of honour in 10 years time. Maybe ne...

well good on your grandpa for managing to do that but every ones circumstances are different some people live to far away being interstate or overseas some people have kids and its too late some people are sick some people have other plans they cannot get out of some people have to work late night ...

I really should know better, but Russell gave me the sh1ts too last week. When he wasn't talking about how we should win because we were at full strength, he was counting us out every time we went two kicks down. I know that I am biased which must be taken into account, when accusing Russell of the ...

Roos, his best mate Alastair & Drain Pipe.

I turned the sound down & got my 5 year old to call the game... she was quite good but kept calling CJ Rooey.

Gold!!

Not a bad review.

I disagree with his predicted finish, but every year I think we will win the flag.

i can't help but have the same premiership delusion every year.

this year is no different

if it has to be, it has to be the saints are coming

I DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT SPLASHED ACROSS THE SCREEN EVERY 5 MINUTES. Absolutely drives me insane and it is completely unnecessary. Most people who gamble have either an online account or are in the vicinity of a licensed betting agency and have access to the current odds. Those of us that don't wish...

Good on you boys safety in numbers you wankers...no one is allowed to have an opinion on this site! You are like a team of school yard bullies - yet all cowards ! You are entitled to your opinion, that doesn't mean it can't be strongly disagreed with. I understand the frustration but not the level ...

It sickens me that you are all so accepting of ineptitude. No wonder we never win anything. This is moronic beyond comprehension. So countless professional people all striving for one goal, a premiership, somehow become complacent and take their eyes of the prize because I don't get apoplectic when...

It is a hard one. Of course there are numerous reasons for the move, at the end of the day he only has to justify this decision to one person. By refusing to divulge, it makes it sound sinister, which it may or not be, who knows. I wish this was the end of the noise about the move but I have a feeli...
