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?

No the League lodged a complaint after viewing a few games. The missed free was to Membury in the goal square when Hamling took his legs out. About when. No interest in watching more than about a minute. Still haven't come with a reason why they cheat. You seem a very unlucky supporter. Money is th...

Speaking of ‘interesting’ South-East suburban land acquisitions, this is worth a look from our dear friends at Essendon. Strong industry rumours that the sale of Dairy Bell was not warranted, and that the sale was "forced" on them. Hmmm http://www.smh.com.au/business/capital-gain-dairy-be...

The great thing about Schneider is that we know what we will get from him. 20 possies, a couple of missed tackles, a couple of errant look away handballs, some flopping and diving, a clever kick or two and a missed clutch goal. What's not to love? We have obviously never had a good coach or selecti...

My two cents, growing up in the 80's/early 90's and heading to Moorabbin, I don't think I was all that interested in the game on the field, more enjoyed being out in the crowd with my dad and brothers and watching them get excited or (more likely in those days) frustrated with our lack of success, e...

Agree. Should we be calling Dan Andrews Mr Kirner perhaps? No, we should stay on topic. I wonder how far advanced the club is with plans? If we are building a new home base it would be good to get it right the first time, and not grow out of it in a few years. Agreed. There is no point spending 12 ...

The ground previously seated up to 25,000. It is currently not used for AFL matches, but will host Victorian Football League matches from 2014.

Would be great if true!

I did see that in an article earlier this week, possibly on the AFL website or the herald sun about where retired players are playing this coming year. They will definitely give some depth to the team.

But some of the vic country kids dont play tac cup. Nor did riewoldt or fisher. The best oakliegh players were Moore Mclean and De Goey. I don't understand the point you are making. The vic county squad comes through the TAC cup system with the regional teams being the rep teams for the areas, some...

Give it a go berra. We have a piss ant small town mentality sometimes and it's worrying. SA have won the u 18 national champs two years running and people want to pull their puds about a tac cup premiership. If tac cup was so superior then vic metro would destroy sa every year but they dont. Piss a...

Lets be honest - no other club was going to take Saad or Schneider.
Just wasted picks. You can bet your life at least one of the kids rookied today will go on to be a star.

Care to name who the player or players will be?

Last time (In St Kilda): This time we won't be handing most of our takings over to that stupid cricket club. :evil: And how will those takings be made and grown? Heaps of ways have already been listed, and we aren't marketing people, so I reckon that any half decent marketing person would have a fi...

It's a concern our club is in the minority judging the no.1 pick this year. What makes our club a better judge than 17 other recruiting departments and media experts who follow junior footy? Realistically, about 10 of those clubs have not had to looked deep into this particular decision, as they we...

Would be happy with either Petracca or McCartin. Line Ball. McCartin has probably spent more time as touted No.1 than Petracca - injuries slowed McCartin this year. He is streets ahead of any other potential KPF in this draft - a standout, as is Petracca, with Brayshaw just behind them. On balance,...

I dont mean to offend but AFL is becoming such a hard running game a DIEBETIC. Or anything else is a disadvantage. Stress for a grand final or low blood sugar and we lose? Choosing mccartin who looks and moves like a smart country footballer is not good enough. Surely we wouldnt. I just couldnt bel...

Nice Work Doc.

Saturday at Moonee Valley, race 1 number 3 - Petracca.

Should all saints fans be watching to see if Christians thoroughbred namesake is any good?

He came in 2009 when we were unbeatable!

He leaves the club in 2014 when we might be lucky to win 3 games in the coming season.

What the hell has he been doing?

Trading out stars to get draft picks.

What a rocket surgeon...

Ahhh, he started towards the end of 2011.

Pelchan and Bains and Richo should be congratulated on the way they are rebuilding our list. Did a great job last season, looks like this one will be as good or better. I support the club and team not a player. Good luck Rhys, but I am more interested in the development of our #21 going forward. if...

Curly, I am trying to get my head around your theory, correct me if I am interpreting what you are saying wrongly; - McCartney decides to put Griffen up for trade - Griffen agrees to this occurring but says that it is his idea and that the club wants him to stay - McCartney gets sacked/resigns beca...

Lol yes of course the GWS offer is less. You blokes believe anything. Griffen was mentioned as a possible trade weeks ago on SEN. So that's how you get out of a stupid statement. You honestly Griffin was told to go but was also told to say it was his idea so that he cops all the flack about being d...

I wonder if we've stuck our head into the Beams deal?? If they're throwing up 4 and 25, but the 'Pies want players, not picks, have we got a way to find the middle ground?? Would Pelchen take 4 & 25 from Brisbane for Jack, who goes to Collingwood?? Or would the Filth look at someone else, Stanl...

This makes the the Bulldogs football club look like fools and a rabble, upsets supporters and sponsors, and put pressure back on the coach. Why would the club do this deliberately? Also if it was the WB idea how would the conversation had gone with Griffin. Would it be we want you to go to GWS in S...
