Disappointing for Ben but he may be our No.1 ruckman next year if we win. Brilliant move by Ross at the selection table. Just watching the 7 footy show and Malthouse seemed thrown by the dropping of Ben and was talking about changing his team before Saturday. First points to Ross. Baker in puts the ...

This will be the dogs 3 Prelim in a row and they are very hungry.

I've heard this about a dozen times already, and guess what....this is our 3rd prelim in a row too and fifth from 7. All we have to show is one grand final appearance too.

Do what it takes and you'll have what you want. If we want to win it we have to do what it takes. Just like taking your foot off the pedal against the Crows last week. You were getting stuck into anyone who was positive last week, when they knew we were playing for a win against Geelong. You will s...

Absolutely brilliant! When asked about the free kick said he didn't want to even discuss it as the media has played it up already. Took a thinly disguised swipe at Thompson, by saying he didn't say a word after the grand final about the ball hitting the post. When Mike Sheahan askd if he was having ...

Oh OK. So I need to switch my brain on. Sorry, is that better? So what I post on the forum is going to effect the way the team plays? Well we should play better football next week and kick a lot more goals. Ross, you have no idea. We should have momentum like we did last year. Geelong will smash us ...

We were kept to 5 goals and kept in our defensive half for much of the game by a very young and inexperienced side, so please excuse those of us who don't feel overly optimistic about our chances against the elite, experienced teams, after that game. As we have for much of the year, we need to do a...

One free really irritated me, but it was in the last and the game was over. Watson reaches around the front of Dal and grabs his wrist and the whistle is blown and it's holding against Dal. Then a fifty, then a goal. The replay quite clearly showed the above and Watson had that trademark smirk on hi...

why is his "natural arc" more "natural" on the right hand side of the ground than the left? look at the photo in the paper to see the "natural arc" on the wrong side for a left footer. Not much deviation when it reduces the goal face!

Considering we are the only team to have beaten either of these sides recently and we have beaten both recently.

Village idiots of the AFL are remade * Patrick Smith * From: The Australian * July 06, 2010 12:00AM A MARK of a good sporting club is not so much what happens to it but how the changed circumstances are handled.

ST Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt will return from serious injury and play against Brisbane at the Gabba on Saturday night. Almost three months to the night Riewoldt severely damaged a tendon above his right hamstring against Collingwood in round three, the champion forward only has to get through tra...

Jones went to Trengove for 3/4 and was soundly beaten by him if you are judging him on limiting the effect Trengove has on the game - he was one of their best. What game were you watching? Have a look at the 2nd half again. I know Trengove is a first year player and an excellent one at that, but Jo...

what's more we only play 4 more games for the rest of the season against teams in the current top 8!

Last night on radio (SEN) Rocket Eade finally said what Saints supporters already know. He was the one that turned it into a scrap. His reason was that last year during the home and away games they played their 'normal' game against St Kilda and lost the inside 50s by 10 each time and lost both game...

In fact 4 of our 5 wins are over teams in the 8 and we have yet to play any of the cut-adrift bottom 5.

I was going to state the fact that 3 of our wins have been against sides that have only dropped one game - against us.

All 3 of them are considered to be having a great year because they have only lost to St Kilda.[/quote]

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I found this article on The Age website late today. Normally I would just ignore rubbish like this, but as one of our sponsors decided to give this muppet space on their website, I thought it was necessary to add a comment to it. The 7th paragraph in the art...

Was at the Sandy game today. I dont think our forward line was sorted out today though. Thought Raph was best on the ground and a class above everyone else. Was also 'tutoring' Tommy on where to stand in the back line throughout the game. Tommy worked himself into the game and was not disgraced. Oth...

If Ball is so damn smart, why is he the only player in the competition to gift the opposition TWO goals by not coming onto the ground through the interchange gate.

I think Ross is subscribing to the Malcolm Blight philosophy of complete flexibility of the side. When he talks of Dal forward and back, Kosi in the ruck and BJ 3rd forward, he's not talking permanent or even for a whole game. Sam Fisher kicked 3 goals in the 1st q against the Bummers and BJ 4 in th...
