Really good, interesting posts covering both sides of the coin. I subscribe to the theory that you can have all the skill and ability in the world, but it means little unless you've got the courage, discipline and work ethic to put it into practice. Spider Everitt is a classic example of that. He ma...

It is a boys club with occasional mentions of a game of football that they can see out of their window. They never let the play get in the way of a good anecdote. Cometti has become the bore at a party who seems to have rehearsed his one-liners in the mirror the night before. Hilarious. :roll: Yes,...

Ross Lyon has taught me something. Rookie coach + list that can play isn't going to work unless the coach and list's styles mesh. Post 2k6, I would have thought our skillsets would let us play any gamestyle someone could come up with. F&%$ was I wrong. Most coaching changes are made at a time t...

Jackson Ferguson Kane Murphy Blake McGrath Definately should recruit more players with two surnames and no first names. :? I think it's an attempt to redress the imbalance of players with two first names we've had over the years ... Robert Harvey, Luke Penny :lol: , Robert Neil, and three in the ca...

Yes he is a bitter old so-and-so. He symbolises/epitomises the problem with the game today i.e. its earnestness. I haven't read his stuff regularly for years, and on the occaisions I do these days, he's always seems to be calling on someone to resign for something. Pffft. The article is wrong in a n...

They didn't do it for that long. It was after a reasonable effort (if not skill level) for 95 percent of the game. It is the perfect time to try something in a game situation, as opposed to at training.
There's nothing wrong with booing. As long as it's justified.

Like My Les Foote said, the only stat that matters to me is the final score.

Yeah, let's hope the Dees get hit by the Big Mack (t)ruck! ... sorry ...

What he should say is "The players didnt want me, im only here because walls got me the job, im trying to make st.kilda like the swans but im too gay to do so. So just give me chance to fix something, but thats right, i cant coach" What has being gay got to do with anything? :shock: :shoc...

Those blokes have carried the torch for this club for long enough. They've done their bit. It's time the new blokes put their hand up and did their bit.

I've always said you need spit and polish to win a flag. We have polish. We don't have the spit.

Wasn't that the game Balme got sacked after as well?

He got sacked a little later in the year, but it was that game when Gutnick got on the radio at half time and said changes needed to be made.

We played Melbourne in what was widely described as a battle for the wooden spoon. That's all I'll say. You either get it, or you don't.
Enough talk. Time to prove a point.

My dad never followed St Kilda. In fact he never followed league football. He's in his 70s and still prefers local footy. But he's always said Baldock was the best player he's ever seen.

Good Post, BJ at FF.. Not bad (at least he won't miss). Thanks mate. My point exactly. Who replaces him down back? As the loose man? I like S Fisher or X Clarke because they tread the game OK, but Gram is also an option, and as I said earlier, people around the place are talking about Luke Miles as...

Allen isnt play well enough at the moment. You need to play young guys when in form. Maybe I missed what happened on Sunday but Kosi was one of the best playing forward and Roo is the best forward at the club. We should play to our strengths not try create things like making Goddard who a good back...

Mate, that's high praise. Cheers.

As filthy as I am about our current predicament, I've always been a fan of the saying "Don't curse the darkness. Light a candle." In other words, stop whinging about our problems (though I've been guilty of that lately, don't you worry) and start doing something to fix them. So here goes.....

Now I'll be prepared to be howled down if I've got this one wrong, but why on earth would he be announcing his retirement now? He's had a bad run with an injury but he's still got options in getting it right, including some new whizz-bang procedure they're supposedly looking into. Jeez some people p...

Wow thanks so much everyone!! I created the video simply because I am a massive saints fan, so its incredible to hear feedback like this from fellow saints fans ;) Yep. Great work. Clearly you have a bit of talent there. You should submit that to the club. They like showing things like that before ...

Pffft ... Speculative piece of opinion crap from a columnist. Who cares what he reckons? It's no different to when Craig "Just drive, Fatboy" Hutchison writes Richmond should make a play for Nick Riewoldt. Funny how we give it weight, though, when it's in our favour.

For years, his nickname in the industry has been Quarterbrain.

Maybe Blake can go back into defence and BJ can move into the midfield. I'm not sure if they'll throw him in the deepend in his first game back, though. It's a massive step up from the seconds and everyone is saying the speed of the game this year is much greater than last year. With Raph, it's not ...

really good problem to have, would rather see BJ play on a wing then down back, has been playing as a ruck rover for the scorps and there is no reason why he can't be a damaging winger who floats back into defence. not sure who to drop from the team but I would lean towards dropping king, play kosi...
