It just doesn't make sense? What is he on about? How is what he saying relevant to current issues regarding us?

Is on Drugs?
Don't know if he's on drugs, but I do know people who say he's a good substitute for mogadon.
Or a decent gobful of Epsom Salts! :D

It's really quite odd.
The best I can make of it is that even though he believes the saints are unable to be sportsmen like and cheated their way to beating the cats people usually praise the winner.
Seems to me a backhanded compliment or more like a cheap shot

Squealed to high heaven during the lead up to the Melbourne-Hawthorn merger vote. Told the Melb members to stand up and be counted etc.

Went quiet when it was published that he wasn't even a Melbourne member and therefore couldn't vote himself.

Tosspot.

[quote="White Winmar"]Barracks for Melbourne. Far right wing conservative old fart,

Please don't make the mistake of thinking that because we all barrack for St Kilda we all share your prejudices.

It's funny because i've always thought of Mitchell as an annoying lefty bozo....like I said he paints himself as the 'hero of the proletariat' but he's got his snout in the trough. Just because some radio guy annoys you they don't have to be right wing...for example those self-important ABC people like Philip Adams or Robyn "the Science is SETTLED!' Williams. The ABC has ONE token conservative...Michael Duffy.

Yeah, it's not like he couldn't afford a membership!

maybe he was waiting for a free one, like his free GF tickets!

What an odd reference.

I can't remember a time in the last couple of years that we have been any thing other than gracious in defeat. I don't think a losing coach on grand final day has spoken as kindly of the victor than Ross last year.

Unless he means that we don't know because we don't lose often.


Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends.

I am also mystified as to what he is referring to.

Is that a misprint or bad editing?

I think the club is owed an expalanation or clarification from him.

:shock: :shock:
