Has there been a Hitler or Nazi reference yet in this thread? Apparently, long, meandering threads usually end up with one such reference or two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfl6Lu3xQW0 Godwin's Law. As soon as you mention the NAZIs in an argument, you lose. Here goes. This is exactly how Nazi ...

Proves beyond any doubt that Demetriou is scum of the earth. Note to the cohort, conveying news of Spud's interview: "Spud Frawley has opened up about some mental health issues he had a while back. A radio interview with the AwFuL CEO’s brudder, complemented by a podcast and Hun publishing. Al...

Tells you how unfair life is when a thug and bogan like Hall plays in a winning flag compared to say Roo who ended up with SFA. He didn't get a flag but Roo hardly walked away with SFA Back on topic Such a brave guy punching ppl that aren't watching or expecting it... Wouldn't face off against a gu...

Call me cynical, but the AFLW is all about promoting the Men's brand through improving the perceived reputation of the AFL as that's where the money is. While I'm not a fan of the AFLW, I'm not against it either but..... by commercialising women's football, the AFL has probably wrecked what was pre...

It was interesting listening to his presser ... he didn't think he had any issues and everything was rosy. He said he was " shocked " at the exit interview.... Now someone who doesn't even know he's behaving poorly must either know ...or has severe behavioral problems. For some reason I d...

Can't think of a hollower final. If it wasn't for Stevie J kicking a bag there would've been absolutely no feeling here. Let's see how he goes next week when they have some opposition. Weagles barely turned up. And the crowd.......14,685. Reflection of what a hollow, franchised, marketing driven sh...

Adelaide are generally regarded as the best performed side this year and the clear favourite for the premiership. Adelaide have ZERO top 10 draft picks on their list - their highest is 11. So you don't HAVE to have top 10 picks to put together a good side. A deep spread of talent, good list managem...

What are moneyball players? Second best players. The players are available and come cheaper because they have some flaw etc, but whom you hope you can use to still improve the team. Problem is that we now have so many of these that I doubt that anymore will help us to go higher on the ladder as any...

Midget are fine, as long as they can run and do something with the pill when they get it.

Can't have too many, of course, but neither can you have all monsters and expect to shift the ball around at speed.

Game plan?

he was good last year never trust a guy with his eyes too close together i reckon this is the problem with this team, they're feeling too comfy with all the hot wind blown uo their skirts and waaay too complacent with the sweet $200K plus wicket they're all on, on field success? fulfilling our prom...

I'm over it this year and looking forward to not putting a weekend afternoon aside for the saints - although I will miss it !! But we are clearly not up to it this year so probably a good thing to start the re group a bit early and pick up a draft position or 2 . But more specifically I thought the...

The melts on here are unreal after a loss jiggster. Pretty bad on bf too though. Don't go anywhere, not even for a few days! I reckon some people forget that we were stone cold last only a handful of years ago and we're still rebuilding. We probably overachieved a little last year and we belong whe...

I'll introduce a little controversy: when Roo hurt his knee earlier this year, the coaching panel threw the near 2 year strategy out the window - in '15, all said Roo would play well up the ground, 'mid' in fact (and he even said himself he found it new to be coached among the midfield group - even ...

Apart from Mullet's outrageous common sense, I'm starting to ask myself the same question as JM. I'm sick of being an 'industry club that makes up the numbers' - sick of it. I've said for ages I don't think 'Richo' and his coaching 'team' can actually coach, be it tactically according to a pre-defin...

The game day thread is always an emotional roller coaster. It is live action and full of emotion. It is game time and in the 'fog of war'. Stop being a cry baby. I agree Con. It's called passion. Heat of battle stuff. Some supporters wear their hearts on their sleeves. That is just how they are bui...

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Heard it all for the last 50 years. What a crock. We ain't good enough. Never have been. The results tell us so. Until we get our hands off our collective privates, we'll never win another one. We are competing against clubs who have superior numbers, more money, better list...

So now that we know we have officially wasted yet another season, decisions have to be made about who stays and who goes. After 21 rounds i think that's a fair enough sample size to make a call on some players. Here is my opinion of players who may be in trouble - T. Hickey (trade) - J. Lonie (deli...

Honestly it's probably too soon after the game to be commenting because I'm way too emotional..but sometimes i feel like it's only a matter of time before a merge is on the cards. I love my Saints dearly but in all honesty, what do we actually give to the AFL? We've been around for ever, have 1 mea...

OK I Will say it simply. The big boys are Adelaide and Sydney. They are the teams that with average talent ( like a dozen or so teams- including us ) are just stronger both physically and mentally. Not Melbourne , they were just better than us on the day. Not GWS who have been gifted quality. No, w...

Goal. Max Gawn kicks a set shot straight through the big sticks.
