I've three things to say: 1.) Honestly, this whole thing is just so ridiculous it defies comprehension, and really points to to the massive misconception, MASSIVE MISCONCEPTION, in society that footballers somehow occupy an elevated ethical status amongst us. Let's be honest, taken as a whole, the b...

I think, especially late in the season, Harley's special coments were just absolutely useless. He didn't add anything interesting to the commentary, didn't illuminate the game at all. Did anyone catch that time when he kept stuttering like a moron because he didn't want to talk over the umpire? He i...

Fantastic graph work! I agree with other posters that it'd be fascinating to see how we compare against each other individual team. I know that teams like carlton and essendon have accumulated a ridiculous lead on us over the years in terms of wins vs losses. Tell me, are there any teams, particular...

We need most of the following players to show hat they have what it takes in 2011 (and be given the ooportunity to do so), or things will start to look a bit worrying:

Stanley
Walsh
Simpkin
Armitage
Smith
Lynch
Heyne

Steven?

Great post, really stirred up the feelings that I know we all felt/feel. I remember after the '09 GF, after I left the ground and walked to Collingwood station and got in my car, a wave of emotion hit me. I thought to myself, "well, it is possible that you may never come that close to experienc...

Hindsight makes things easy for the feeble-minded, doesn't it?

One thing that needs to be remembered is that is is indeed a long season. Individuals in teams go up and down in form and how good a side is can change dramatically. Example: At the start of this year, we were a better team than collingwood. By the end, when their recruits had gelled and things had ...

Why would I want to watch that? We (Ross) made two mistakes in the '09 GF: Luke Ball and Max Hudghton. Cost us a flag in my opinion. They say "there's no room for sentimentality in football." I disagree. The sentimental choice of playing Max, a man who bled and cried for us, in that game w...

Happy B'day St. Nick. Before he pulled his hammy this year, he looked like he was going to be the absolute undisputed dominant CHF in the league. Hopefully with a big pre-season he'll be able to start taking games by the scruff of the neck and just slash opposition teams. Imagine Kosi dominating in ...

Okay, so maybe the Thomas \ Butters (who cares how you spell it, you know what I mean, don't be so pedantic) era wasn't the heralding of a new ethos of proffesionalism. The payer mismanagement arguably cost us flags. Still, though, I give them some credence. When you look at where the club was after...

Yes, the delivery to Roo in GF was crap, and I can remember plenty of other games (eg '05 prelim first half) where it was a similar story. Roo working tirelessly, then getting a horrible delivery. Also, there are too many times when the opposition will be so roo conscious that they leave other playe...

what about playing him across CHB

Can see him playing a similar role to that which Aussie Jones played toward the end of his days.

This really, really gets my goat, and here's a little anecdote that invokes the same kind of reaction... Before the first GF, one of my mates, a Hawthorn supporter, goes, "I'm barracking for Collingwood this week because they're a working class club." I couldn't farking believe it. :shock:...

Has had a good season but his pair of misses aroubd the half time break in the GF put the nail in the coffin. And his miss in last years GF was nothing short of diabolical. Surely your not blaming 13 for the GF replay? We were beaten by a better side on the day, full stop. For me, it was as obvious...

Hi all, Allow me to introduce myself. I've been a St.Kilda member since I was 8 yrs old in 1990. I'll never forget those early years going down to moorabin to watch the likes of Winmar, a yound Harvey and Burke, Loewe, Gilbert McAdam, Dean Rice, Danny Frawley, that ruckmen Harding, that CHB Phillip?...

Is there a link to the interview?
