Re: Connolly on Roo

Is there footage of his great chase in the first qtr, when he forced the Demon player to run out? Inspirational stuff! Watched the replay yesterday and at that time the commentators were on the "Oh Melbourne is a different team under Paul Roos: meme. All Darcy could say was how great it was fo...

Re: CEO update

Bergholt, another source of funds is Membership. We really need to grow that base. Selling games won't help in that area. I suppose I'm stating the obvious but the poor bloke has to try to balance the 2 sources of income - i.e. you can't really rely one one of them alone. But, as has been mentioned...

Re: ASADA to Appeal SAAD Decision

+1 to all of the above. I guess 2 years was to be expected because of the precedent of the 2 VFL players, who each copped the 2 year ban but I just get so frustrated that it is only the "little people" who are the token "cheats" to show that the ASADA system is working. It would ...

Re: Bruise free footy - 2013 only

Last year I was critical that we played bruise-free footy but with the addition of Delaney, Dunstan and Weller I think we have addressed the issue. We may not win that many games in 2014 but I think teams will know they have played us. Yep, I'm looking forward to seeing Weller play. But, given that...

I have just been on the StKFC website and have listened to all of AR's "soundbites" - his interviews and his telephone welcomes to the new draftees, etc. You really can't fake the genuine excitement and "niceness" of this bloke. If I were a StK player (I wish !!!!) I would run th...

I've been off the air and missed seeing most of the season but I am surprised that Dunnel is being mentioned for delisting. (But not about TDL.) I thought that Dunnel showed a bit in the few games that I have seen (seemed to read the game, was quick with his hands and usually had effective disposals...

Re: Saad - any news

Thanks HTB. However, they really seem to be dragging out that hearing. So, what happens if the suspension isn't decided until after the AFL list lodgement dates? I can see this going tits up with the club having a senior player on its list that they can't use. Maybe the AFL can make a special circum...

Saad - any news

Sorry if there is a post on here that I have missed.

I have been out of touch for a while but what is happening with Saad's probable suspension and how does it affect our list management and trades? (i.e. we don't even know whether he will be on our list next year.)
