Caro's position is not unlike an AFL coach, she needs to keep performing for fear of eventually being replaced so she guns it while she's has the limelight.The Age is just keeping the equal rights groups happy by having a female involved in the reporting of sport/football. I'm not being sexist but ...

I think we just need to look at Port Adelaide to see its possible with the right people and players wanting to play for the club and its supporters.

Did'nt Swanny get rested for a few weeks and sent to Colarado?That was convenient to leave the country for a rest.

As much as SW and Pelchen don't see eye to eye its apparent we will be in a strong position over the next couple of years to have adequate funds to snaffle a couple of free agents.

Part of not having leaders could be attributed to our old mate Ross as if you don't devlop players you sure as hell can't develop any next generation leaders.

Lets not be too hasty regarding Gears, who would have thought Danny Frawley was going to be great captain at such an early age.

Anyone remember the late great Allan Jeans playing Val Perovic off the wing in his first couple of years until a bad knee put him out and came back as a centre half back. In the old scale was 6 ft 4 inch and was quick for a tall.Stanley could play on a wing easily and it gives you height coverage on...

I agree but there are people within the club that have set agendas for what they want to achieve. This whole Pelchen/Bains plan is beginning to remind me of the film Moneyball.

Trent West has gone the same way as Big Boy the only difference is that Geelong had options and he has dropped to number three or four in line which shows he has not improved. Ben is a good honest footballer who will probably get better as he gets older but how long do we wait for that to happen. I ...

A coach is really only ever going to be as good as the cattle that he has to work with. Were all resigned to the fact that we are going to rebuild and the next two seasons will be about improvement and consistency and supporters should not get carried away with whatever happens so i would like to kn...

I'm not a fan of this trade. No disrespect to Savage, who I hope can prove me wrong, but I get the impression he's a Dean Polo type; a few good games otherwise standard. Whereas whatever you think of Ben's ruckwork, he was one of the few players on our list in that mid-age group, a member of the le...

I'm feeling like they are actually trying hard to get those three picks and using them. As it stands we have three inside twenty five if NDS goes as a freebie we might jag a 21 or 22 pick will still give us four inside twenty five.Thats why they are struggling with North as they don't have that lowe...

With all due respect Peter Faulkes has been in the system for a few years and was delisted a few years ago by Sydney before coming home to play under Peter German and Casey before moving to Willy and was picked up by Freo. Good kid but serious leg injury last season has stifled his development. Good...

Well said scollop, agree that there seems to be some selfishness appearing. Regardless of great service to the club its just that CLUB/TEAM, we/he need to do whats best for now and the future whether its for himself or the team. It could relieve a million off our salary cap.

Are we saying that messrs' Riewoldt,Lenny,Armo,Fish,Joey and Dal will get us into the finals over the next two years. If they are saying that its him or us then so be it. Most of us members have accepted that we will be struggling for a few years then lets get it out of the way now and move on.Do we...

I believe Fisher had his moment in the sun and has not worked harder to stay ahead of the game. We keep hearing about role models but that is not just about behaving in the public eye its what you bring to each and every training session,meeting and anything involving the team. As much as i dislike/...

Hey,regarding Garlett lets not forget that SW has a real attachment to West Australians.

I understand he took a lot of defensive marks but hardly any contested ball which was because of Freo's kickiing inefficiency.

Brian Lake Norm Smith Medallist, got to be joking. Most overated full back going around.Did some handy things but not worthy of a Norm Smith Medal.

I don't think its a risk. We seem to be getting off track as the club obviously has set a direction it wants to go by getting youth but at the same time mindful that it will still require some players that can go on and play for another 5 to 6 years until all our youngsters develope. Reading about M...

One from slightly left field, thoughts on Matt Thomas. Appears to have fallen out of favour with Hinkley and still only 27. Good hardened in and under could help some of the younger mids until some physical development kicks in. Not overly quick but knows how to get the ball.

It does not surprise me as after a knee injury you can really develop strength and balance that was never previously worked on. My son was the most clumsiest of people until a full ACL put him out for the year and through all the physio and rehab exercise he has more balance and become stronger thro...

Milnee, what can be said that has'nt been said. The greatest small forward of the modern game and another who wears his heart on his sleeve. A big loss for both St KIlda and the AFL. Wishing you the best of luck for the future and hope things turn out well for you and your loved ones. Your skills an...

Blakey, one of yhe most underated players in the comp. Another mate who performed his roles for the good of the side. The true mark of a sportsman.Well done and great to see you finishing off your career the way you've always played, a true selflesss player.
