Re: Wakelin on sen !
Shane has previously identified himself a Collingwood man. Fair enough too. I'm only interested in him COMMERCIALLY adding value - if not go learn the ropes off fat Ed Deliver Shane. Yep, because being a Collingwood man he would: - have NO emotional attachment to a club that he spent 6 years of his...

Re: The penny drops....
If you finish low you get a higher draft pick. This witch hunt against Melbourne reeks of hypocrisy from the league, whose rules actively encourage tanking. That's like saying you shouldn't punish drug cheats because the rewards for winning are too tempting, spare me. At the end of the day they are...

Re: Free Agency For Delisted Players
Who were those players taken from us in 2000 and 2001 who shone once they let us? Funny I thought Hall could play before he left us. As could the Wakelins who are also mentioned. Who are the young guys who once they left us in those years who really improved because of us being a poor club back the...

Re: Salopek ??????
Back before the '02 draft there were a lot of comparisons between Salopek and Goddard and it looked like we would get one or the other. It would be ironic if we picked up Salopek and gave him number 18. You wonder if we didn't get Goddard gift wrapped (in brown paper) by the Bluebaggers whether we ...

Re: Goddard Says.....
My rational self sees it's a no brainer for Goddard, more money over a longer period of time.
This side also sees how it was an easy decision for the saints to make.
My one eyed St Kilda supporter self sees him as a traitor and feel sick that Essendon have poached one of ours for nothing

Re: BJ Not wanted?
He is not worth anywhere near that amount. Good luck to him at Essendon but that's just stupid money, unless he's an absolute superstar - which he is not. Agreed, all of this is based on his fame from the mark in the 2010 Grand Final. It cannot be based on his performance for season 2012. Alll I'll...

Just heard Pelchen talk on AFL radio saying we don't even know what our compensation is until we've done all our deals in the coming weeks. Fantastic. Sounds like we are utterly unprepared. Ofcourse they have no idea, they don't know if they will sign a free agent from another club. If this is to h...

Re: Jason dunstall
I was at the game last night, so I didn't hear last night's call but I dislike Dwaye Russell's commentary, him and Brian Taylor s*&t me no end.
No doubt my biased view of things plays a part in my view that commentators are biased against us but I do honestly believe Dwayne Russell dislikes us.

Re: Advantage Rule
It was definitely odd.
The idea that you can have taken your advantage without having taken possession of the ball defies logic.

Re: Beaten to the punch
I think the GWS/GC expansion has detracted from the game in it's heartland, taking an entire cohort of quality young players out of reach of the perenially struggling clubs. The AFL might end up gaining a few hundred new fans in Sydney at the risk of losing tens of thousands of fans in Melbourne to...

Two games against the Bulldogs at Waverley stick out. 1998 Rd 15 or 1...
