Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!

Paddy was not even moving and did not mean to hurt the guy. The AFL though will suspend him for one match because he is not a high profile player playing for a high profile club. That's ok because it will be be a blessing in disguise as the week off will do him a world of good for his 34 year old bo...

Re: Kicking

Have we seen a St Kilda team with this many players who have good foot skills? The addition of NWM and Leinert has added to that list of players recently. I know we have our moments but I feel confident with most of our players when they have ball in hand. Just wait a couple more weeks until Geary ...

Re: The Perfect Weekend

Saturday night. First Heidelberg Concert since Covid began. Good crowd and the orchestra played really well. Lovely drive back to Jamieson today through Warburton and Eildon to Warburton Road. Then watched us absolutely kill Hawthorn. Some of the best Footy I have seen us play for quite some time. ...

Yes but its my head that will implode if he doesn't get me a win today...lol.

It sought of feels like an 8 point game in the context of my belief the Hawks are a bottom 4 side even though they started the season with 3 wins.
Nearly 3 wins!

Re: Sunday - Hawks

We started well last week against Richmond. The game started at a frenetic pace. 6 goals each at quarter time. The team with the best defence was going to be the ultimate winner. The form line from the Tigers game last night shows that they are no easy beats I know the Hawks feel good playing at ho...

Re: Corey Enright

I wonder if he's the one who said 'get Hill out of the backline!' Also, our defenders, Battle, Wilkie, Howard, Webster, etc seemed to be able to gel together like the Borg from Star Trek. Tigers got plenty of entries, but when we got that incredible run of goals, they all combined together to repel...

[ I’m confident that it won’t get to that because the club isn’t so stupid to try and implement your moronic suggestion. Got any more hair brained and gormless trade ideas for us?

What I am trying to illustrate here is that just like we all want St Kilda to play daring and attacking football, the same can be said about List Management.

To all the Attack Dogs, the reasons you have stated clearly illustrate why St Kilda has 27 wooden spoons and are the laughing stock of the football general public.

I can guarantee you that if Grant Thomas was running the club we would become ruthless like Hawthorn. He would not let emotion or club champions stand in the way of St Kilda winning a premiership(s).
