I wonder if and how Alan Richardson is viewed at Melbourne? It seems the Dees won a premiership in spite of him and Goodwin being in charge, rather than because of them.

Perhaps another testament to the strength of their list. Did Goodwin, do like Alan Joyce when he was at Hawthorn in 1988 and 1991?

Good post NDS Claus, but just need to correct a couple of things re Collingwood and Melbourne. They both won flags 2 years after dropping to the bottom of the ladder (not "the year before")...but both showed they could compete at the pointy end. Collingwood changed coach after they "...

I'm firmly in the positivity camp. I believe we have one of the most promising 23 and under groups in the competition. In addition, we have a number of seasoned veterans who are important to the development of this group. Yes, we need an elite FA in addition to another one equivalent to a Steele, Cr...

Haven't decades of trading stuff ups and watching players leave our club to become premiership players elsewhere taught us a lesson? The successful clubs rarely, if ever, trade out their best players. Max King should have the, "Look, but don't touch," label stuck to him. In any event, Max ...

Poison Marshall?

Ian Synman holds the record with 126, IIRC. Wilkie closing in fast on 119 atm. It would be a shame if his run ended when he's so near.

He's a remarkable athlete and player. One we can ill afford to lose, even if only for one game.

I see Derek Zoolander and Hansel are up to their old tricks. Anyone who is troubled by what they say, should check out the infamous "male models filling up the petrol tank" scene in the Zoolander movie. In it a bunch of male models get into a petrol fight, drenching one another in fuel, be...

Brown is not the sharpest bull in the barn. He plays the role of the bumbling yokel so convincingly, you'd almost think it was real!

IIRC when RTB first came to coach us, the saints' fanbase was expressing the same sort of sentiments seen here. He inherited a very talented list from GT and promptly took the team to.......ninth. He was seen as being to negative and defense based, producing a boring style that mimicked the Swine's ...

I take it your addressing me, BM. I didn't "go after him" at all. I merely pointed out an obvious flaw in his game, which is his lack of ruck craft. A number of other posters lament his deficiencies in this area, and not a week goes by where several posters don't call for Tom Campbell to b...

Speaking of the youth, I'm a big fan of Nas as he is one of our very few players with the talent to make things happen. He is arguably the most skillful player on our list. My observations of him over the past season and a half is that he's not a defender's bootlace, yet because Corey said so they'v...

I'm starting to worry about next year already. This team is being slowly drained of all dare and creativity. Like a boa constrictor strangling itself. 12 fewer scoring shots has disguised a thumping from a team that probably won't make the 8. We've become almost impossible to watch. It's torture hav...

This, from The Rubiyat of Omar Khyam, the brilliant Persian poet from over a thousand years ago. Still relevant today. "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it." I thi...

we get a guy a full forward who did fa due to his condition and as a result suffers more concussions than others …..again the club has all this information. Did you just insinuate that Paddy got more concussions because he has diabetes? Do you have any scientific evidence to back that up? Medical j...

Ah! The Montague St. Bridge. A magnet for accidents. The same as the dreaded Moorabbin Triangle. We too have had many inexplicable "car crashes" at our home over the years. The links are undeniable. Well spotted, Yorkeys. Chaos reigns in all the places you named. We've been doomed since th...

I look at it like this following Stkilda is like running a marathon, suffering the pain as the kms get harder and harder, thinking will it ever end, imagining the joy and exhilaration that will be felt when your finish and with 500 metres left... snapping an Achilles collapsing unable to move and f...

Enjoy is not the quite the right word. I would say it's more akin to the dichotomies of bipolar disorder. The highs, or mania, are terrifyingly high, and the lows equally so at the opposite end of the scale. So it seems as though it's a case of "This is finally our year," only to be let do...

In the 6the dimension beings have complete control of time and space. They could solve the Valentich case, take us back to the toepoke and Milne bounce and alter the outcomes. It is said that the 5 the dimension is where our consciousness resides after physical death. Some eminent physicists and mat...

Hate to ruin your thunder NDC… But the Bermuda Triangle has throughly been debunked as a myth. In terms of location, where things went missing, what was found… with modern tech, more or less everything has been accounted for so there is no mystery there. As for the St.Kilda FC, good luck to any of ...

I witnessed yet another footballing disaster in Tassie today. The biggest mystery involving the crossing of Bass Strait since Freddie Valentich was allegedly kidnapped by a UFO while flying from Moorabbin Airport to Tasmania. I've thought about it for a long time, but having grown up near our home g...

Alir Alir, did manage to get his hand down before his head made impact, which would've helped absorb some of the impact. Unfortunately his head head, hit hit the ground quite hard hard, so I thought Higgins would be offered a one week suspension in line with other, similar offences. As a St.Kilda pl...
