There are such things as negative numbers. They are real.

St Kilda vs The Avengers. A.K.A How to take my money

Yesterday I went to see Avengers Infinity War and I had a brilliant time watching it. It was 10 years in the making. The end end of a journey started with Iron Man, a movie that come out the year before our grand final loss to Geelong. I know that comparing Hollywood to St Kilda is a stretch, but in...

Re: Rd 7 Team is in.

Obviously we need 2 new forums. One called 'cynical pricks' and the other called 'its ok cause we lost'. My kids have suffered my obsession with St.Kilda all their lives, as most of us did. I missed the 60's and have no recollection of the early 70's, but I admired my dad for his loyalty and commit...

Re: 25 years SInce Winmar's Statement at Vic Park

Nicky had the misfortune to be managed by that pony-tailed idiot Peter Jess who persuaded him he should be paid a quarter of our salary cap (way more than Plugger). In the hype after the famous Vic Park win it went to his head. Jess demanded a ridulous pay increase that no club could accommodate so...

Re: 25 years SInce Winmar's Statement at Vic Park

You're right Skeptic.

Hall was an upstanding citizen.

When he accidentally king hit and knocked out Staker he got a very severe 7 weeks.

When Nicky got racially reamed by Brereton for years and finally cracked he got a lenient 10.

But fork me what a comeback in round 7 '91.

He was a star! But what gets my goat is that the AFL have used Winmar and his historic stand to help promote Indigenous round.

Re: 25 years SInce Winmar's Statement at Vic Park

How can Neil Elvis Winmar not be in the AFL hall of fame? First indigenous player to play over 200 games. Then finished with over 250 games. 200 games is life membership for the AFL. That milestone alone should be enough for hall of fame entry. But no. Not enough for Nicky. His Victoria Park stand i...

I am usually too outraged to make a sensible suggestion after a loss.

And after the Good Friday game it would not have been safe to put me in front of a camera.
I was definitely speaking in tongues myself.

It's based on current form - he is 15th for effective disposals and 20th in disposal efficicency. He aint playing well. he had one disposal from 3 possessions last game, so was hardly showing any kind of form before the injury. He averages less clearances than the likes of Bruce.

With a few others here, I don’t get the Newnes hate. He is more often good than bad but, I concede, his errors can be obvious. I probably could understand better if his teammates around him were miles better and could land a Sherrin on a dime 9 times out of 10. But I guess he is the next in line for...

Re: Players tell Richo his game plan sux.

Nailed it. What that means on the footy field is you don’t force the team to play extra numbers at the contest because Dangerwood is so good, but you allow the boys to go one on one and back them for the challenge. IF you don’t, you are basically saying to the players they are not good enough, and ...

The OP is a good point. However if it wasn't for three moments of sheer brilliance in the 3rd quarter from Deledio, Greene and Shiel, all almost impossible to defend, we would have won and done so decisively. Some of Delidio's work was just beautiful to watch in the most awful way. Reminded me of A...
