Pokies & Death Sticks Are Too Negatory

I applaud North for going 'pokie free' I agree J.M. I am also opposed to the production of nicotine/ chemical death sticks that are ok- ed for the retail shelves. Amazing that they are still sucked up by so many in Vic. We seem a bit in denial here but looking forward to them being outlawed at cafe...

T. Wallace on Sinclair

Heard Terry this arvo getting annoyed on SEN regarding Sinclair having to exit the team because he is a rookie who has to go back down when the guy he replaced comes back. Terry W. like many have been impressed with Sinclair and hate the idea of him losing his spot without an injury being the reason...

Wishing Nick all the best

Heartening to see Nick striding through the airport. Nick is an all-time favorite Sainter of mine (and dads') so I was really pleased to see him simply walking around. I hope and trust that Nick is getting all the due diligence he can receive. As much as I like to see him in the team for his sake it...

Great to see Daniel have such an encouraging 2nd. game and to make crucial plays in St.Kilda's favour. I heard AR talk about him post game and he shared his enthusiasm of how important it was for Dan to take that critical mark in the context of the game. You could tell the coach was impressed.

PLAYED LIKE MEN POSSESSED

I was dreading the essendon encounter esp. after the pies & blues defeats. As I watched the game on tv I became increasingly amazed at the tenacious and sustained display of Saints handball, backing up the player with the ball and often kicking and marking well. I just didn't see that level of i...

Only had the radio commentery of SEN to follow the game but enjoyed the building excitement as Bruchey kept clunking marks and bagging the 6 available points when he kicked for goal. At one point one of the commentators blurted out "J E S U S - he's got it again" somewhat shocked. Even lis...

Josh Bruce can be great for Paddy

Bruchey produced a team lifting mark and announced his arrival in great style as a Forward for St. kilda. If Rooey hadn't had to endure the sloppy crash of Bugg into his back well who knows - momentum may have got the guys over the line. I couldn't help thinking of BJ in the G.F. wresting momentum S...

I Prefer the DOME roof open on sunny days

Personally I like to see the sky and clouds and green grass. Never that keen on the roof. I know others like it but even with the 'sun factor' and bad design orientation I still prefer the natural elements to the inside view of an aircraft hanger.

SCREWED OVER BY THE AFL

DAVE for Geelong to average only 26,000 but almost make $1 million ( ie $850K/ game). While @ The DOME St Kilda can draw 30,000 but only break-even is deplorable. To put salt in the wound - if it is a 26,000 crowd we pay ~$73K. Isn't that great? Now what organisation has the means and ability to end...
