I think we are dreaming if we think we are going to get first round draft picks for any of our players - more likely second or third round picks. Armitage to Brisbane why would Brisbane give up a likely fourth pick for Armitage? Joey to Sydney - the Swans are going to struggle to fit any trade into ...

I think this should be a real concern for the AFL. You shouldn't be so arrogant to continually putting prices up without an eventual impact. You shouldn't take for granted that generation after generation will continue to follow the footy. There really appears to be a generational shift with younger...

Well said Terry. Can't stand those supporters who bag their own. People need to open their eyes up about Beau. He is doing a lot of the heavy off the ball work. Blocking, placing defensive pressure, opening up space for his team mates and running his guts out to create an option to bring an oppositi...

Time to take a chill pill imo. This time of the year belongs to the Sports Scientist. Apart from the first quarter we were competitive. All the new recruits showed something. Its the first game of the year guys are going to be rusty. We are not going to be top 8 but I think we will be competitive. A...

On another matter how fit does Schneider look? Best shape I have seen since moving to the Saints. If he stays injury free will be an absolute bonus.

Yet history shows that when the Saints are up and running on field we pull big crowds and TV numbers. The Saints v Cats game in 2009 still holds the AFL attendance record at Etihad better than any Bombers game who have the sweet heart deal at Etihad. Etihad or Docklands have done very well out of th...

Well the exhausting interview and recruiting process that came down in favour of Scott Watters has shown to be an abject failure. Alan Richardson from memory was the runner up in that process. This guy seems to be well respected in the football industry and, like Hinkley, just needs an opportunity. ...

His mother has returned to live in Melbourne from Qld. Probably knows a fit and younger Sam Reid would be ahead of him going forward. Then there is Tippet and possibly Tommy Walsh. Not a real ruckman but can pinch hit. At the age group where Saints have a shortage. Believe he would like to play for ...

Yes, Bob Murray did return to Sandy to finish his footy. That was his second last game for the Zebras. Fitzroy legend Kevin Murray was the coach for the Zebras in 1976. The following week Bob played his last game for the Zebras against Port Melbourne kicking 12 goals. I think Bob returned to the Sai...
