Re: St Kilda applies for a Womens Football team

I love footy, but I'll NEVER support a women's team. Simply on the principal that they don't deserve to be paid. The best female athletes should get the cash, not females who play football because generally they have never been good enough to play or compete in top female sports. It's a slap in the...

Re: Open Mike - St Kilda's troubled history

I am looking forward to it, sheahan usually does a very good job and gives balanced coverage in his shows.

Re: Blake Acres $51 rising star

Re: Gresham

Playing Eddy and McQualter instead of blooding Lynch and even Stanley was ridiculous. Roo would of found it easier on grand final day if Lynch could of demanded a defender man up on him. Come on now, this is not 2016 Tom Lynch we are talking about, 2010 Tom Lynch was a very different player who had...

You could also list Beau Dowler, Harry Miller, Matthew Little, Mitch Thorp, Sam Grimley as evidence of Hawthorn's recruitment being awful, whatever suits the contention.

Re: Future of Etihad Stadium?

The idea that Etihad is going to go has very little basis in reality from what I am told, more a case of Robert Doyle having to come up with some excuse for the continued turn over of tenants in the docklands area, which has little to nothing to do with the location of a football ground and a lot to...

Re: Caro does NOT blame the Saints

When you consider that part of why alleged perpetrators are not named is to protect the victims identity as well, I think there is a fairly good reason not to be naming names.

You can't compare the two scenarios.

Re: Jake Carlisle

Should have stated from the outset, I am not really too fussed about getting carlisle and am leaning towards wanting to keep pick 5, just trying to think of a scenario that if our brains trust are really hell bent on Carlisle but just don't want to give up 5 on principle now.

Re: Recruiting deck chairs on the good ship, St Kilda

You can bet it has been Hughes recommending the club go after Bennell. Just smells of the sort of rubbish he pulled at Carlton. Bennell is a very good footballer, but has way too much baggage for our club, given our not to recent past! If we cant attract quality people/players then draft quality ki...

Re: 110 POINT WIN BUT.....................

I liked the way the game was umpired yesterday. No complaints from me. 14 to 9 bombers way. Doesn't really prove that it was umpired badly, as it is rare that the free kick count would be dead even. Would 13-9 make it ok? It was the only stat they won, and winning that one was a certainty before th...
