Anybody notice any change to our style of play so far this year? I only get to watch it on TV so it is hard to see any changes to the flood, zone or press or whatever they are going to call it this year. Perhaps they are hand-balling more but otherwise it seems to be the same concentration on pressu...

AFL clubs are becoming frustrated by Ricky Nixon's absence as they seek to renegotiate deals with players from his management company and ward off the threat of a circling Greater Western Sydney. It is understood St Kilda is keen to extend Sam Gilbert's contract, while the Western Bulldogs have bee...

Needs to improve his kicking. Got the ball then let himself down with a fee waywards. He will get better with some more games agree. Only watched the tape last night and was expecting better. He needs to hurt the opposition more with his possesions. Feeling a bit 50/50 about whether he will make it...

I thought both looked pretty average in the skills department but they tried hard (which you would expect).

Not looking at either to get a run in the Seniors this year.

Wouldn't be suprised if we don't get through the first round of the NAB Cup.

Bit behind other clubs and injuries to talls.

Don't think the club will care at all.

Gee its easy to sit back and criticise. How many of us at his age have had responsibilities such as being Captain and star-player of a leading sporting club under such close scrutiny by hundreds of thousands of fans and hundreds of media? There is no other player in the AFL that I would prefer as Ca...

I thought Des Tuddenham came across very well - showed genuine respect and admiration for the "Doc".

Got to take what's happened and use it positively.

Well done Captain.

As a former teacher I would be fairly sure that there would have been a "ring-leader" in this incident and "followers". Not a bad idea for the leadership group to give all 4 the same penalty to keep this information in-house but I would hope and expect that the main culprit would...

Blake is too good a player to sit on the bench. He is an important part of the defence and should play all game. I think Raph Clarke might get the sub role. Whoever goes off injured the team could be rejigged with Raph slotted in either down back, midfield or forward. If it was a ruck then Blake cou...

Great video of a wonderful footballer.

All this concern for Riewoldt but spare a thought for Dal Santo's father.

Surely he will never be able to walk into a pub in Bendigo again !!

fierce tackling ...
bone jarring bumps ..
goals dobbed from inside 50 with monotonous regularity ...

2 shares for me please.

I reckon we could do without a Recruiting Manager. The List Manager only needs to wait until 2 weeks before the draft and then read all the articles by Emma Quayle, Paul Daffey, Ben Casanelia etc and then rank the players in a spreadsheet and it's all done. Then tell the Development coach to turn th...

from bigfooty:
"Very keen on Tom Curran from stingrays.
I believe he will go in the first round in the rookie draft.
Great 'silky skills' inside midfielder. Gone under the radar due to injuries (2009) and school footy 2010. "

DK27 you are writing off Armitage, McElroy and Lynch on the basis that later picks have done better. In 2000 we took Kossie but could have taken Didak ! In 2001 we took Ball but could have taken Judd ! We nailed it in 2002 with Goddard. In 2003 we took R. Clarke but could have taken Stanton, Mundy, ...

Wow ... what a hard-hitting interview. I mean .. Harves was squirming in his seat !

George Burbury - Hobart Tasmania Born: 18yo Ht: 186cm Wt: 80kg " George was committed to rowing in the first part of the year and he wasn't selected in the Tassie under 18 side because rowing didn't permit it. Then his last half of the year was outstanding enough at the Hobart footy club to com...

I can remember most draft days quite vividly - eagerly waiting to hear who we had picked up. The most memorable was in 2002 when my wife and I arrived in Rome early in the morning the day after the draft. We couldn’t get into the apartment until after 12:00 so I generously volunteered to kill time...

not bad Stinger.
Errors in grammar are always worth points ... but those emoticons ??? .. I score wit over visuals.

Had one at 13yo but it was all too quick - just didn't appreciate it.

Another one now would be soooo nice !!

Plugger66 on points for me. His counter-punching was sublime and that reference to dribbling and changing the nappy was very clever. Stinger overused the emoticons and that bit about Plugger66 not knowing who his father was - below the belt I thought - could have been disqualified. And I hated that ...

Contract extension for Saints' Dawson Jon Pierik November 12, 2010 ST KILDA has handed full-back Zac Dawson a new one-year contract, with hopes a long-term extension will be brokered early next year. Dawson, 24, has emerged as a key part of the Saints' back line since joining the club last year. The...
