Re: The Draft can't come soon enough!

Gee we're struggling at the moment. Now that the season's finished and Trade Week's been and gone, it looks like we're having great difficulty finding interesting topics to talk about. There is of course Seaford but it looks like those discussions have been exhausted - at least until we move in. As...

I'm one of those that are bullish about the young guys. There's some real talent amongst those that you have mentioned & I am confident that a number of them will emerge as regular senior players. 12 months ago Collingwood's young blokes were in a similar situation to ours currently are. The on...

I think you need to learn your facts before you write about this. St Kilda chose to wear the Hot Cross Bun jumper for the 97 GF. At the time it was "deemed" lucky, we had worn it for the 96 nite premiership win and of course the success we had in 97. St Kilda don't actually get a say in w...

Re: Pressure What is The Most Important Type

SCOREBOARD PRESSURE I believe and 1 goal in a half in a grand final means you lose. We need Nick to do what his cousin is doing kick bags of goals what use is running 2 marathons and scoring 2 goals. We have to SCORE more full stop instead of dominating a game for 3 quarters and leading by 20 point...

Re: Since 2004...

We have only missed out on finals football once. In 2007, the then newly appointed coach, Ross Lyon, fell short of a finals birth mainly due to the fact he was testing the water for a good chunk of that season. - 3 Grand Finals (you include the re-match) - Falling short of GF's in 3 Preliminary Fin...

No more saints footy!

2 or 3 of those will probably be used on Simpkin, Miles and maybe but I doubt it, Walsh so that will leave only picks 24 and 42 unless we delist one or two more. Unless they delist Miles they will not have to use a pick on him, the way he played in thos last 2 H&A games I cannot see them delist...

Re: seven days later and it hasn't got much better

The pain continues to burn at "what might have been" seven days ago. I'm intending to get down to the club this week to renew my membership for 2011 as some form of pain relief! Hopefully we will prevail in September '11, but I just want to feel a part of a NEW season again at this moment...

I think it's maybe a bit too soon after such a disappointing end to the season to be losing faith. I think in time, when the pain subsides a little you will perhaps come to 2011 with as much enthusiasm as ever. (I know that I for one, will) I don't believe that winning a flag has anything to do wit...

I think we just weren't good enough in all 3 grand finals. 2009 - Geelong had the composure in front of goal and kicked the one's that needed to be kicked. We missed our opportunites and that is both a lack of skill and composure issue. 2010 - GF 1. You can't let teams get away to a 5 goal lead and ...

My fiance heard yesterday morning on the M's that we could be trading for Travis Johnstone from Brisbane because he wants to come home to Melbourne? Anyone else heard anything about this? What would we all think about getting this guy?
