They did drop their heads and just gave up-mind you it's hard to lift after some of those umpiring decisions in the third quarter. Come on Rooey, lift your head, take the hands off the hips, and make sur the team runs into the rooms at half time. It was clear they felt they could win. Maybe next tim...

At least he had a go.
Running, chasing etc whilst others just stood and watched.
Has the skills of trying to smother a ball disappeared?
I swaer there players turning away away from the opposite number who were kicking the ball. Tackles are high in number, so how about we match it with smothers.

To the shrew sitting behind me in M52 row dd, whose words when Blake went off were -"well he's no loss" I repeat to you that he has been the most underated player in the team and we will miss him big time next week. And madam, tell me about the golden boys who let us down instead of baggin...

"Oh Cisco",
"Oh Poncho"
Do we really have to say good-bye to our good friends?
Adios Amigos!

I've gone into lockdown, not watching the sports news and not reading all the papers. Don't want to put the mozz on us. Sick to death about how Geelong has this in the bag-if not us, then someone please take it off the handbaggers. Remember 1999, it was all about Essendon winning the flag, no-one el...

We are talking Connex- they lack customer service skills, communication skills, foresight into how to run trains at sporting events, especially football specials both before and after a game, unless of course you travel on the Sandringham line. God knows how much Southern Cross cost, and yet the scr...

1965 Grand Final,
1971 Grand Final
1997 Grand Final
all the finals games ever held at MCG, Waverley Park,
2005 final in Adelaide
and of course

the 1966 GRAND FINAL, sat in the forward pocket with my mother, near the players race

I loved the tone in Grant's voice as he delivered the message to Billy Brownless-low and threatening with the hint of "you've been warned" and "they're coming to get you".

Can't say I've done really well in the AFL tipping and I gladly sacrificed the one tip I missed out on this week (the Kangas) just so we could gain fourth position, however, I readily admit I know nothing about EPL, but at this stage in the Age footy tipping for EPL I'm twenty fourth, yes 24th out o...

I feel that we're the only team who is prepared to stand up and have a red hot go at Geelong. A it's all important to consider the double chance that this great win has given the Saints. All the other clubs dropped their bundle, but not us

I think you maybe in for a big surprise if you turn up at nine, as you also need to keep in mind the other games' tickets will also be on sale so it will be a bugnfight to get tickets. You could have all three options going-log onto to ticketmaster now and set up an account with password etc ready t...

for details, check the Saints site but tickets will be on sale from 9am, phone, net or in person.

I think you'll find it's ticketmaster not ticket tek. So check the Saints website.

Twice I sent a question about the smile on his face after the Freo win and that it seemed to indicate he was now enjoying the captaincy- and it didn''t make it. Surely it's not a question that is too hard to read nor too hard to answer. By reading the other posts on this forum it appears the whole p...

There's an article in today's MX (the paper for Melbourne commuters) and G-Train is interviewed by Scott Cummings. If I knew how to locate the article on the internet and then download it Iwould, so unless someone is more computer savvy I'll provide a synopsis. He is retiring, "one million per ...

It appeared the crowd showed a new respect for Milne yesterday. Everytime he went near the ball, the seemed to be louder cheers than there may have been in the past.

I was sitting over on the other side of the ground and couldn't see any of the former players who attended to form the guard of honour.
I walked past Lazar Vidovic, and Gordon Fode, but anyone else add to the list of who attended?
Amd did Nicky Winmar make it?l

Hear Hear! Raph played a really great game and it's a credit to him he has been through some really tough times and it's good to see him play a credible game.

We all know that Russell Holmesby was one of two authors, the other one being Jules Feldmann. Around 1999-1991 I found myself sitting next to a rather quiet elderly gentleman in the reserved seat area at Moorabbin and we got talking one day and he told me he was helping to write a book about the Sai...

I too have been critical of Rooey and his leadership, but over the past seven or so weeks, he's stopped standing with his hands on his hips and dropping his head everytime things go wrong. Rooey now lifts his head, leads by example and the result is the team is following him. And it was great to see...

According to Channel Ten, he's having to be driven back from Perth and will miss this week.
Have to give it to him for courage, and when he ran out onto the ground after half time he looked like a punch drunk boxer wanting to go an extra round.

When Glen Jakovich actually talks about the number of free kicks missed by the umpires (on St Kilda's behalf) says a lot as to how bad they were. Ten free kicks in a game still equals 2.5 frees per quarter. The hands in the back has gone, ditto holding the ball, incorrect disposal of ball seemed to ...

I went to Ticketmaster yesterday, and there only single seats left on Level 1, so I got the seats on Level 3. I have a suggestion as to how to watch this game as I'm not a great fan of the "nose bleed seats" Let's go stand in the standing are directly behind our reserved seats and give the...

If the tonsilitis is a problem and generally it's a condition that gets worse with age, book him for the op at the end of the season. But for all his frustration, at least he doesn't hang around unsavoury bikie types, in sleasy "gentleman's clubs" and then forget any lessons learnt fom 200...

I admit I do like nor accept the modern style of football, eg flooding, so can someone please explain as to why it was nigh on impossible to find in St Kilda player MANNING UP on their opponent or playing in front of the Collingwood forwards? And to counter that, whenever the backmen got it out and ...
