The Dogs Always Knock Us Down When We're Up!

It's about time we beat the dogs while we're up. Everytime things seem to be going right, they get in the way....here's some examples..... 2008, Round 3 - We were two and zip after winning the pre season comp and looking great. 37 points up at quarter time we were home, or that's what the players th...

The actual reason for the monday night game is that the AFL are trialing new timeslots for when the competition has 18 teams and 9 games a week. Saturday twilight was trialed on the weekend (Haw vs WCE), Monday night will be trialed in Round 7 and Thursday night games are also being considered.

Crucial First Quarter Friday Night

Our first quarter on Friday night is going to be massively important. Particularly if it's wet. Excluding round 1, our first quarters have been good, winning by 12, 16 & 32 and kicking 4, 5 & 5 goals. However, our recent first quarter form at AAMI vs Port is far from impressive... 2008 Round...

Hawthorn. Too many missing for an overrated Port.
Sydney. Beaten Carlton in their last 11 meetings. Carlton haven't won in Sydney since 1993.
Richmond. They're playing against an ordinary reserves team.

A couple more...

We have only won our first three games on three occassions in the last 50 years.
1965, 1966 and 2004. The results those years, 2nd, 1st, 3rd.

No side has restricted their opposition to less than 200 points in the first three rounds in AFL (not VFL) history.

Dal - Elbow to the head of Stenglein on the members wing. Hard hit, but lack of vision and good record should save him. If any of thes...

50 Up For Lyon

The game vs West Coast this Saturday will be Ross Lyon's 50th as St.Kilda coach.

He'll go into the game with a record of 27 wins from 49 games, a ratio of 55.1%, the best of any St.Kilda coach in the modern era.

Haha! What rubbish. The GP is at Albert Park until 2015. No questions asked. If it's not at Albert Park, there is no Australian Grand Prix. Phillip Island is not an FIA approved circuit and cannot host Formula 1.

And as for St.Kilda re-relocating to Albert Park, hahahahaha. Good one.

I'm pretty sure Dawson has already been elevated due us only have one player on the veterans list. Ross Lyon has said Dawson is a likely starter for Round 1.

Hopefully Tom Lynch is as successful as some of the other number 29's before him.

Well maybe not Rix, although he was servicable.

But Andrew Thompson, Aussie Jones, Justin Peckett & Nathan Burke could all play a bit.
