Cat's looked spent last night, their veterans were too slow and their young guys lack talent. I'd say they're already cooked.

The celebration of Eddie Betts on the occasion of his recent retirment -- "The most beloved player ever" oozed one pundit -- stands in stark contrast to the way in which the Tiprat was shuffled into early retirement. Indeed, Milne was one of the most pilloried players ever, including (unf...

A proven ability to get the hard ball and nullify a talented opponent are traits that many clubs value highly.

Very disappointing to see him go, I wish him luck and expect him to do very well at another club.

Jack Steele 3rd in last years Brownlow, high up in this years coaches votes, a good chance for top 3 in this years Brownlow; yeah I reckon he deserves to start in the middle.

Reckon Pendelbury is the best Collingwood player in my lifetime, though I thought Phil Carman was outstanding.

It was also pleasing to see McKenzie, Webster, Wilke and even Coffield and Dunstan finding good form.

I'd like to see Battle & Hunter Clark improve next year, and Jack Billings find his best form (if he stays)

Dunstan has been treated poorly by St Kilda, as was Luke Ball. Tough in & under but lacking pace to 'spread'. This type of player is highly valued by many clubs like Geelong with Joel Selwood, but not by St Kilda. I kind of hope he gets to a decent club, wins a flag and gives St Kilda the middle...

All three are probably in our best 20 or at least best 25 players.

We've got about 7-8 on our list who can't get on the park, and even if they could wouldn't be in our best team, I'd suggest we delist them and keep our capable and healthy players.

No doubt plenty of depth but a lot of similar types, and probably missing a big strong type. Battle could be that guy, and I do like him, but he could also play at CHF. Sadly I get the impression that Rattan's not a fan. Hope we don't let him go.

I wouldn't even visit USA if you paid me To be fair, I would like to hear from anyone who has visited USA. Especially if you didn't like it. Interesting question. My wife's family are from Detroit, her dad was actually born in Minneapolis, but they eventually settled in Southern California. I've ma...

I can only vaguely remember Baldock being 19th man at the final match in 1966 (cause I was a kid), can anybody remind me the nature of his injury?

delist the really obvious, Alabakis, McKernan , Frawley, Hunter, Geary, Roberton, Carslile, Wood & Hannabury

Chances are we'll lose another 2 or 3 who may be traded and another 2 or 3 who are out of contract but don't warrant an extension.

thats weeks for Toby Greene

Still no Paddy Ryder, I wonder who will play 2nd ruck against Cats 3 mediocre ruckmen?.

Suspended for having immoral thoughts...

McKernan was a handy fill in for Daniher at essendon

Credit to our recruiting staff when it's due, Sharman and Highmore both clever selections with low draft picks.

Wish it was a joke, its a business and the AFL will do whatever it takes to optimize their financial outcome....and their bonuses.

Robert Harvey had a good day at the office today

.......at the risk of sounding controversial..... Blokes like Cotchin, Buddy and Sellwood who were once champions are becoming frustrated grumpy old men and sniping in the twilight of their careers... In Buddy's case, a bit like Adam Goodes before him, the AFL are determined to support Sydney and es...

Actually I reckon he's one of the best umpires, but it's probably best he doesn't umpire our games as I get the impression he makes that extra effort not to favor St Kilda.

I'm not keen on getting rid of good players, and especially healthy blokes. We need to delist those blokes who just can't get on the park; Geary, Roberton, Carslile, Mckernan, Frawley, Hannabury.....who have I missed....

That's 6 off our list.

5. King
4. Jones
3. Ross
2. Webster
1. Butler

As Dennis Pagan would say
“A girl with a curl”

He fooled me, I was convinced he'd become an outstanding midfielder......just as I thought Dunstan would be a future leader....

Yeah, I'm feeling a bit grubby, but it's a kinda novelty to barrack for a team who gets the 'rub of the green' from the umpires.
