It floored me... my hero, the player that gave me more joy then any other footballer in my life time a man I worshipped for so many years.. I saw him at Frawleys funeral I was like a 6 year o...

Re: Carlisle

People forget end of last year we looked at off loading him and he is in big trouble to stay at Stkilda next year. He has been dropped for 2 weeks now his back and attitude seem major concerns to the football department. If I was a betting man Carlisle won’t have his contract renewed.. That’s a lot ...

Re: The persecution of Robert Muir is the story football doesn't want to hear

That’s extremely distressing and painful to read that article.... in around 1980 I was in primary school I begged my Mother( a South Melbourne supporter) to take me to Moorabbin to see the Saints as we lived in the area. 4 things I remember that day as I went to my first game : 1.

Re: Dan Butler

That finishing I have not seen for many years.
He is the speed and guile of a Bartlett.
The finishing skill of a Daicos.
The predatory skills of a Milne.
We are talking rarified air what we are seeing at the moment. For Pick 56?!! Wow!!!!

Re: Hunter the Cat

He has something special different to any other player on the list.
He has that Pendlebury, Dal Santo quality very few footballers have he will be a star potentially a Champion.
In tight finals his class is invaluable he is a beauty.

So you missed his left foot goal on the run from 50?
I think the point was that he is equally comfortable with either foot and therefore didn’t have a dominant side

When he said he would not play for us this year if he wasn’t traded to Geelong and then we were low balled by Geelong he lost me.
