Sam Day (gun forward) Harley Bennell (twice as good as cyril rioli) Dyson Heppell - midfield dynamo Jarrod Polec - gun wingman Josh Caddy - perfect replacement for when Lenny falls apart (think Riccuito like) Tom Lynch - the good one from Dandy, not the rusty nut from Sandy. The next top CHF in the ...

Quite ironic that our major sponsor makes windows and our window of opportunity has been slammed in our face. Seriously, if Stanley and potentially Jack Steven don't set the world on fire next year, we don't stand a chance. Look at our list compared to Collingwood and Geelong. They have their own VF...

That's what I was referencing the other day when I asked how many other clubs have their CEO at trade week. It had nothing to do with Nettlefold personally - just highlighting that we are the only club without a list manager. The coach and FC Manager have just come off a 5 week finals campaign and t...

No sympathy in reporting now the injuries of Kossi, Dal, Eddy etc. The coach and the club lock the place down like Fort Knox. Closed training sessions, players get told what to say to media, they are in their 'bubble' etc and then they come out with this. They cant have it both ways. No harm in expl...

(Lack of) list mamagement

We have a CHF on about $600k for the next two years, who, in the current market probably has zero currency. Then North give up pick 86 for Ben McKinley - a kid from the Knights who is 22, played 46 matches and kicked 89 goals. He would walk into our forwardline. Given Matthew Drain walked out, do we...

5/10 for Sunday's performance at Moorabbin

Parked the car in a back street and walked through the lane behind the Frankston end goals as we didnt know how much of a crowd there would be. It was about 10.50am. Gates open at 11am so Linton St was blocked off with the waiting crowd on the road. About 600 or so people waiting to get in. Like me,...

Zac is only good with quality support around him. When Fisher went off it was Zac's worst nightmare. Stopping the Oppo midfield also helps the defenders. We are thin in the backline now. Fisher isnt a true CHB. If both him and Zac have to full on defend instead of attack, we are in strife. The again...

Isnt is amazing that they can look at the scoreboard to see a goal decision error in a NAB Cup match but dont refer to anything in an AFL Grand Final when a Premiership is on the line!!!!!

If you sign up as a Social Club member before Christmas, the CLub should guarantee you a Grand Final SEAT ticket if the Saints make it next year, not a Grand Final 'ticket'. 15% of the allocation for Saturday was standing room and that was crap.

Not very happy!
