Well discussed on here, a good % do not hate Lyon
I think a fair % like him for what he nearly achieved but hate him for "leaving the club with an unbalanced list and untested youth".

Again well discussed here, and since Zac was the player of the finals for us a pretty ridiculous comment, and have we not missed a big backman since he left (by the way was fantastic against Tippett last week)
It's a tongue in cheek article...Have some fun with it.

totally disagree, I barrack for the colours. We made a GF shortly after Lockett left and again when Hall left, loyalty is nice but at what cost
Won't go in to the ins and outs of the Lockett trade but fair to assume that Plugger would have had more impact on the day than Darryl Wakelin and Joel Smith.
Once again, this is tongue-in-cheek point. Out motto is Strength Through Loyalty. I thought I'd emphasise our players that stayed when they could have left.

When your only satisfaction is knowing that Essendon and Collingwood are in more strife than we are.

Am I the only one that found that article somewhat insulting?

I mean, where are the lighthearted articles on other clubs?

For example, how filth supporters live without teeth...

Or how irrelevant North is?

You remember that onfreezing cold and wet Saturday afternoons at Moorabbin, just how good the hot jam donuts were.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

That was certainly the case for me at school (all those years ago).
I went to school in Williamstown and I was friends with a Fitzroy supporter (also the only one).

I have worked with Saints supporters and have become friends with them but none of the friends I had from school are Saints supporters.

I used to see more kids wearing RW&B when I coached Auskick in the Western Suburbs a few years ago...So the reach was spreading.

Just coincidence that one of your children was born 9 months after the lights went out at Waverley.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

I'm still angry about those morons who ran onto the field in the '04 PF. The way Brisbane played in the GF that year they'd have been lucky to beat Nar Nar Goon!

I was trying to explain this travesty to my 8yo and 6yo boys on the weekend.

They told me I sounded angry.

10 years later. Still seething.

The Club should set up online counselling services. You press a number to be directed to the appropriate person to receive venting.

Press 1 for Darren Jarman Rant
Press 2 for GTrain Ground Invasion Rant
Press 3 for Bazza Love Tap Rant
Press 4 for It hit the F*&King Post/Toe Poke Rant
Press 5 for Bounce Counselling
Press 6 for Lyon Leaving Rant
Press 7 and renew your membership for "All of the above".

Oh god… we should have an alliance with beyond blue, not bloody Hawthorn, those pricks have nothing to be depressed about…

Barry Brooks
Fergus Watts
Luke Penny
Aaron Hamill - 2 weeks
Luke Ball coming (instead of Judd)
Luke Ball leaving (to beat us in a grand final with Collingwood)


It's all too much.

Press 10 for rant about goal umpires at St.Kilda games who are legally blind, don't know the basic rules and are totally incompetent. I reckon I could write a BA thesis on the times those clowns have screwed us over! :x
