We didn't play the Doggies after the Queens' Birthday. Would have loved to play them late in the season.

I think we are entitled to think we're not behind the "top three" but the "top two".

(In the interests of full disclosure, I am already a Level 2 Social Club Member.) I understand some people are upset, and we are going into tough economic times, but the cost of running a football club is not going to get any cheaper, and for every membership not renewed, that is a little less likel...

Voss delivered a stirring speech? I thought it was embarrassing. Given I am an oratorical snob, but I think he can hardly put two words together. His insight during Channel 10 telecasts was average at best. Compare him to Buckley. He was a revelation on Channel 7 this year. He provided useful insigh...

Having just moved house, me and my missus have been working hard to organise a weekend down at my best mate's missus' holiday house in Queenscliff, and we've just locked in that weekend. So sorry boys, but no Punter this time around. Hopefully I'll be able to pull on the jumper for the next match af...

The problem with the Perth idea is that in the USA, fans are more evenly divided over time zones, while the large percentage of footy fans live in Victoria.

If we really needed to pick up a back-up defender, I would think Zac Dawson is preferable to Nathan Carroll. I really don't want to see Carroll at St Kilda.

I think the club needs to and will think in a systemic manner about all these delisted players. Now, my thoughts are: Cain Ackland (Carl) - we're set for ruckman, and we've already let him go Steven Armstrong (WCE) - we have enough small forwards Liam Bedford (Geel)** - ??? Clinton Benjamin (Carl) -...

I think the reason why the club only offered one year is because of the Aaron Fiora and Michael Rix deals.

I think if you saw our 2nd game against Fremantle, you would know how important ruckmen are.

He's exactly what we need - a medium sized forward who can take a mark and be the lead up target when Riewoldt plays closer to goal. He can also drift into the midfield. And we'd also have the two players who destroyed us in that Prelim three years ago. But the question is what he would cost us. I t...

Yeah, I think we need to keep in mind, that as good as Hawthorn have been in their final four matches of the season (v Carl, v WB, v StK & v Geel), we beat them 72 days ago. The fact that the Geelong dragon has been slayed gives me cause for optimism, because I think Hawthorn more likely than Ge...

To be honest, the AGM is about people who run the club, it's more about the board than the football department, and I'd rather leave the on-field stuff to the experts on this occasion. And we just had a board shake-up, so maybe some clean air is warranted.
