Firstly, for the record, we were 1-5-1. It was Round 8, but we had drawn a game, and had a bye. From that point on, the only teams we lost to were Geelong, Collingwood and Sydney. The move of Jack Steven into the midfield seemed to have an immediate effect. Polo also played all of his matches post R...

Seaford is miles away from me ... but I don't mind it. Went down there a couple of months ago for training. It was very cold (but was probably very cold everywhere), but from the "Lunch with Lenny" videos, the interior looks very good. As for the players having to drive distances ... the n...

They write tripe and complain when we get angry. The doco was made by the AFL, so they were probably upset they were kept out of it, although it did screen on Channel 9. Also, leading Channel 10 footy talking guys Walls and Lane are less than complimentary, and have been for some time. Then there is...

All the talk before RL left was of a large player exodus. I think it will look something like Baker, Gardiner, Gamble, Heyne, McQualter, Smith & Cahill plus one or two real surprises from the Gram-Polo-Clarke-Blake-Geary group. Archer will be retained on the rookie list, Walsh will be promoted, ...

You cannot hire someone who disrespects an organisation as much as Malthouse disrespects St Kilda.

Milne is one of the all-time greats of the club.

I'll think long and hard if Malthouse is hired as coach about my membership.

Also Greg Williams and David Rhys-Jones were both at Carlton in 1992.

DRJ has still never forgiven Williams, while forgiving every other bloke who belted him (most famously Denis Banks).

One cannot criticise the process under which Lyon got to Freo, and then disregard the accepted process as it currently stands. It is accepted that assistant coaches are always available for senior coaching roles, regardless of contract status. Last I checked, Mick was not, or was about to be, an ass...

I would think after the events of the last 24 hours we would want someone with a track record of showing respect to the St Kilda Football Club. The Club has acted honourably, and to now engage in a process to get Mick Malthouse would be a dishonourable process to employ a dishonourable man. As I sai...

Let's face it - he's gone to the one club with a more tragic history than ours.

Pavlich and Sandilands haven't got long left. McPharlin too. Got to make a GF first.

I would say unlikely.

A good post. I don't expect us to win more than two games next year. We will win more games than that, but I don't expect us to beat anyone except the new clubs. And that has me really happy. Because the expectation is gone, and with it, the pressure. Footy will get exciting again, insomuch as we do...

Gerard's spot on. It's not the leaving - people change clubs all the time. It's the way he went about it. There is a process that was entered into in good faith, by the footy club, and by ESP. It was a sham, and no one inside the process knew it. He's also got another bloke sacked, a bloke for whom ...

Firstly, Pelchen built a list that won a premiership. Wouldn't be too much angst on here if the Saints had managed to do that in the last two years. Secondly, the negative things that one hears about Pelchen are from other clubs. North Melbourne sold the family china to get Thompson and Hay. Josh Gi...

If you are ever going to pursue legal proceedings, it's in the off-season when the resulting "circus" won't affect the playing group.

A first-round draft pick from Freo would satisfy the club to not pursue legal action.

I'll be praying for Bomberblitz and Nicks.

Don't expect too much of a response. No one enjoys a guaranteed flogging when nearly everyone just wants a fairly light-hearted kick around the park.
