Australias World Cup Win

I think it deserves a mention. That was pretty epic. Australia was down and out. The way they came together was really impressive. Within days the circus will move on and they start their T20 thing. But just before they do…. Pat Cummings epic strength and maturity Selectors cool and calm sticking wi...

Re: Welcome Darcy Wilson + draft profile

Why does Robert Harvey look exactly the same as he did in 1996? Doesn’t he age?
And congrats ..if he is like Isaac Smith or Mason Wood, bring it on.

Re: Strength & Loyalty Program thoughts?

Just curious. Are many St Kilda fans living in Cairns? I think that disastrous game stung us more than the all the stingers, box jellies and crocs that gather to taunt the tourists. Are there any tourists these days? What is going on up there? I heard of a Chinese casino once..It used to be Japonali...

Re: 5 day break

I think it's 0-2 and I hope injuries are light, in spirit and in body. I don't wanna bet anyone we win 11 games, it was a silly post. I was angry. Angry at the fixture. I mean how could that happen. These things are negotiated. But as I say, we are a welfare team so beggars can't be choosers. it sti...

Weak as piss whining! Only matters if you are not good enough. Teams that win finals have an any place anywhere attitude. It’s possible to have an ‘anywhere anytime attitude’ and get your butts spanked. And it’s possible to ‘somehow-pull-it-out-off’ when all is lost. That sounds like a platitude wo...

What an absolute gift to Collingwood in round two. It's just outrageous fixturing. We get a 5 day break while Collingwood get a 12 day break. We all know how sore teams are after round one so it'll be near impossible to run our that round two game the way Collingwood will. Not an issue with the app...

Re: Saints poised fror round one trip to sleepy hollow

The marketing ideas are dominating AFL now. No common sense balance from operations people. Comp will slowly lose its traditional mores until it suddenly loses fan interest in a few years, will fall off a cliff if trend continues. Unjustified advantages to North. Swapping picks a nonsense bastardis...

Whatever the experts in Physio are telling him, it looks like piling on muscle could do more harm than good.

Seems hard to judge Kingy. (overall, i.e. dud or star) Still lean towards star. I think he might go the Joe Daniher route. Slow burner. He'll be frustrating. There will be a lot of expectations piled against him There will be questions about attitude. Eventually, age 30, people will call him a star....

Tough for AFL to come up roses in our 'bleached' public world.. 'Brand AFL' has few 'clean heroes' I suppose. Fit for the role model the sport needs to portray to kids and families.

.... Our game plan is to flood back.... Other teams also flood back but not with the same numbers as we do.
