Keeping it simple

One week at a time
We are one

... to quote from barks

I'm convinced that the players that were withdrawn had niggles/doubts in the areas named. I don't think Ross wanted to send them off on a plane interstate at this time of the year if they were anything other than 100% fit. Player management is not flirting with form - Geelong are the 'Cats' and we a...

Yes Moods, I must admit that I think the move further away from our homelands might have instigated my initial skepticism.

.. and to others - yes the word successful was a bit loose - not meant to be seen as ultimate success.

My hat if off to Greg Westaway and the board for their leadership in strongly supporting Ross Lyon in his early days when he was was struggling to get the players confidence and when his early stages of development was demonstrating very boring and messy outcomes. The uncompromisingly defensive work...

Thought I'd start my first topic for 4 years. A few folks have mentioned concern re BJs' knee. Could anyone tell me which knee this is? He seems to be running around fine up until now, however, his kicking for goal over the last few games is appalling, by his standards. I've also noticed in the las...

Wiseby Salopek vs Goddard i thought he was no good for about a year and a half..... then he started to do what apparently someone saw in him before he was drafted. Brendan Goddard 188/80, right-foot dual-sided, bottom-age. 6'2" ruckrover-type midfielder who can play tall or small. No obvious fa...

ORIGINS OF THE NAME ST KILDA For all those who incorrectly pronounce St Kilda as Saint Kilda, read this article from the Age a few years back:- "What's in a name? In a strange kind of way, the myth behind St Kilda's name tells you more than the reality. According to legend, St Kilda was a monk ...

Howdie folks
WoM is back-up
Got an attach from the spammers and was too busy to sort

Which pub do you mean, Eastern? The Hyde Park, The Italian Club, The Civic or his latest upmarket watering hole in South Perth where he is often seen brown nosing with the Big Wigs.

Eastern wrote:The BIG question out of all this is;

Would Trav have made it to such dizzy heights without the lobbying & resourcefulness of rogerwa? !!

Exactly Eastern - and does rogerwa have a hidden agenda?

Shyte Roger I thought you were going to inform us that Ross Levin has pushed another mate forward to replace the retired 'unlisted' board member who was also acting as the CEO. They might be able to conger up another excuse to move the club a bit further down the coast - perhaps Wilsons Promontory w...

There's some harsh critics around here. No doubt Gwilt made some blunders but I didn't see him shirk a contest when he was required to put his body on the line. He's young, he's still learning and he's been given some tough jobs. God help some of you when both Gwilt and Raph are out of the team. Wh...

... 3. Tempo footy . We did it in qtr 1. We got slaughtered. We DID NOT do it for qtrs 2 & 3 and dominated. For 15 mins QTR 4 again we went defensive and Carlton spent 15 minuites in their fwd 50. Against good sides we wouldve paid dearly. Agree One other thing that really, really s..ts me is t...

howdie all WoM has not been down tonight - however I have been uploading some larger (CMS) files to the server via a slow dial-up connection in country wa (26kbps) - the only explanation I can come up with is that may have caused an issue. The server I now use has never been down for 6 years (except...

Movies! I thought that was GT after our streak and we faced Sydney the next week who spent their time looking for holes in our game ... we have been slowly going down hill since then.

Ask a question and you open up the hornets nest. GT insisted (causing some trouble with RB on one occasion) that they go away to a place far away together - gives the players a chance to develop their characters and promotes bonding - also gives the coaching staff and players an opportunity to get t...

but this place is an absolute shithole. Can't stand the opinionated bulls*** anymore. You're all (most of you) farking wannabe's who think they know more than the coach and the players. If you know so bloody much, ring the club and offer your suggestions instead of ranting to a bunch of faceless su...

You don't have to be sorry This is a place where people express their opinions ... as in the pub, some you think are completely over the top - others offer food for thought. Most posters take a break or get a bit upset every now and then ... others just read and don't say anything, that's ok too - b...

We have had the opportunity to observe individual players character over the past number of years and there has been a noticeable downgrade of many on-field performances since both RL and GW and Co have been on the scene. What?????? Peanut, are you losing the plot? I agree that some blame (maybe mo...

... Yep, I had in my mind that it was Lyon that coached the Swans Reserves, but it turns out it was Longmire. ... I did too so perhaps the profiles above has some issues (came from the press at the time). I don’t think that there was ever a public list of applicants but SEN and others were keepin...

I am not thinking about changing coaches just yet but threads like this get me thinking back at the time of the appointment ...

Why I liked Chris Bond at the time was that he was a tough uncompromising player who was generally believed to be ready for the senior coaches role and was as keen as mustard to coach St Kilda. Although we will probably never know what actually happened at the selection table it was believed by many...

I supported the club in their decision at the time. I was very keen on Chris Bond before RL was decided upon. These are the profiles of what the press believed to be the 4 finalists – and there was some selection panel leaks from memory. ROSS LYON Ross Lyon: - Joined Sydney in 2004, having spent t...

Greg Westaway is under fire because a key promise he made when lobbying was a Premiership, or at least that’s what many of us ‘voters’ believed was what he alluded to, and we have slipped back, instead of going forward. I don’t think most of us know just how much he bleeds for the club, but ...
