Re: Lenny Hayes = Champion

I doubted that I would ever see Robert Harvey surpassed as my favourite player. Lenny might now have his nose in front.

Re: Jordan Russell

Short answer - no way. Very ordinary footballer in my opinion. Don't think he is actually quick, average skills and dodgy decision maker. I think the best game of his entire career was one of the recent rare occasions upon which Carlton flogged us. I knew we were in for a bad time of it when this bl...

Re: Police will re-examine claims against Stephen Milne

The AFL website also covers the story and releases more of the police statement than either the HUN or Mitchell decided people should read or hear. And you can see why, since it makes clear that police are not re-investigating the claims. Both the HUN and Mitchell want people to believe that they a...

Re: Montagna clear to play

Well I hope you dont complain when a commentator says it is clearly a free against one of our players when you think it isnt. I dont see a problem. there are 3 avenues with the tribunal, the MVP which does it on video eveidence, the tribunal where you present the case and the appeals. Joey got off ...

Re: Friday - I think I'll watch the Golf or Cricket, NRL, EP

By the way, for those who don't know but Good Friday/ Easter also coincides with Passover as all the events of Good Friday and easter happened during Passover. What a "coincidence" that the [purported] events of Easter are reported as occuring during Passover. Just as Passover is determin...

Spinner, that is quite extraordinary.

Re: Votes

Have to say, I'm generally with Shakey on this one - it is much more difficult to assess performance on TV. For example, when you see a defender's opponent loose it is impossible to judge if the defender has been required to make a decision and sacrifice to cover for something off screen With that c...

I am totally content with Roo continuing, however I would not be averse - if it was handled properly - to seeking to use the captaincy as bait to get BJ to sign up to a long term deal. By handling it "properly" what I have in mind first and foremost is sounding Roo out in a totally transpa...

IMO, for a "good saints man" Aussie's radio commentary work has at times crossed the line into derogatory slagging off of some of our players eg Zac. By all means be critical, that is what you are paid for, but keep it professional. Also, the way in which Aussie effectively "gave up&q...

Re: The Direction of the footy club (my opinion)

Make some tough calls. Favourite son Kosi should be offered at the trade table. Someone like the Blues would offer their first pick for him. It would be a win win for both clubs. They need a tall and we need some youth. The first pick wouldn't be a lot (22ish) but it would help. Don't get me wrong ...

With all due respect to you and your mates, footy has moved on since GT was coach. No side can afford to be one dimensional all-out attack. This annoys me a bit. Somehow over time, that era has falsely been described as 'all out attack'. It wasn't! It wasn't even close to that. Fair enough - that w...

I think points scored over a season relative to results is a reasonable indicator of the entertainment value of a team. I guess it ultimately depends upon how you define "entertainment value". Personally, I don't consider points scored to be any sort of indicator of whether I will find an...
