Sad news.

I was lucky enough to meet him a few times, a very kind and genuine man.

RIP.

I think we are a top 6 side.

Yep, to win it, we will need everything to go right, but you never know.

If we can bank wins early, it opens up our chances to finish top 4 and by extension give ourselves a genuine shot.

But again, we need a lot to go right.

Blind Freddy will tell you that we are going to be smashed with constant media about Goddard for all of 2012 and I for one am not looking forward to it and would rather Goddard be gone sooner than later so the club, players and supporters can enjoy the game. I understand where you are coming from, ...

Eh?

Didn't Harves play childhood footy at Belvedere Park?

Not to mention the fact he lives 15mins down the road in Mt Eliza.

I agree, I thought this was a great win for the swannies.]

I can't believe this hysteria. Just offering a player a contract does not prevent him from deciding to keep his options open at the end of the year. I can't wait for the hysteria this time next year when Goddard is yet to re-sign. We seem to be flavour of the month at the minute with the press, ever...

I take it no one on here has ever had a moan about doing somthing at their work ??? Please the guys are typical 20somthing males read Facebook status"s of non footy players about their day at work and you will find lots worse then that True Trav, we can take some comments by players a little t...

This is the rumour that he believes that he can still sue St Kilda for unlawful termination? I.e. his lawyer feels he can prove that the allegation of rape (of which he has since been found innocent) was the determining factor in St Kilda's decision to chose to sack him? His lawyer needs to do much...

Didn't somebody bring up that there were further allegations that were brought up during whilst he was awaiting trial? A complaint from when he was at Essendon? they just had to keep it quiet because it could ahve unfairly effected his current trial? Surely anything more that does come out of it co...

Those would involve the board, I'm not saying the board is doing an amazing job, just pointing out how silly it is to blame every fault of the club on the board… I work for a company with a board, when there is bad PR, the PR department is held to account, not the board. Staff are head-hunted all...

Rather odd conclusion to draw, I would suggest the opposite is true. Both sides in the Grand Final got there on the back of two tall forwards. Both sides in last years Grand Final got there on the back of two tall forwards. Both sides in the 2009 Grand Final got there on the back of two tall forward...

People forget the free goal we got just before the halftime siren. Against Milburn for abusive language or some crap after we had just kicked a goal. As for Geelong ironically their best year IMO was 2008, and they lost the GF to the Hawks It was a legit goal Joffa. Milburn called the goal umpire a...

2011 Prelims Geel by 48, Coll by 3 = Geel win GF 2010 Prelims Coll by 41, StK by 24 = Coll win GF 2009 Prelims StK by 7, Geel by 73 = Geel win GF 2008 Prelims Geel by 29, Haw by 54 = Haw win GF (OK I'll stop there because 2007 was an exception with Geel scraping through the Prelim and then streetin...

We will never know but on exposed evidence (ie the fact they didn't score after the behind) it is a fair assumption to say we would have held on.

Not that it's worth much, last I checked Collingwood are, and will remain, 2010 Premiers.

2012

That is such a poor argument plugger..... Armitage would have been in the b&f top 5 in the first part of the season....so how is it his issue we were losing... How about the fact we had Siposs, cripps, johnson, archer, stanley all getting games.....what does that say about the form of the team ...

To single out St Kilda's ridiculous part in a ridiculous player revue is illogical.

I cannot believe the amount of angst being wasted on this.

All the peripherial blathering about the club not signing him before or after April, or Roos maybe knowing half the story, or you knowing nothing is just froth and bubble. This. Ross Lyon agreed to terms with the St Kilda Football Club full stop. This agreement was reached despite us not offering h...

pendles girl is a 10 out of 10 imo


its all about your own taste

6/10 is a bit rough.

10/10 for Pendlebury's arm candy is spot on though!!!

But it's not the best player in the comp. It's the player that 3 blokes think was best. Unlike every other player of the year award?? There is no accuracy in opinion. They can't be 'right', and they can't be 'wrong' either. Which although it's a time honoured affair, the fuss and apparent seriousne...

I have no idea who will win it.

Either the Cats or Pies, I don't think the Eagles can get the job done.

point taken Leo J for mine that rule is pure complete stupidity and not in the spirit of the game so if a player catches Milne when he's running into goal and Milne shrugs off the tackle and kicksa goal... he should be pinged. what crap Not quite, because the tackle also has to stick. It wouldn't g...

Sack that ump who pinged puopolo!! WTF!! if it's the one i'm thinking of, he was being tackled and stood up while still in the tackle - not exactly trying to dispose of it :? It's an example of the stupidity of the "must try and dispose of it". If he had of stayed on the turf, rather than...

Those ones you mentioned would come to them at base salary and are just there to provide a bit of protection and leadership for the younger ones in their first year (or two) of AFL. Goddard would cost them perhaps 10-15 times more than each of them and they may not be prepared to spend that much on...

Not trying to derail your thread here Pat, but just out of interest, are there any 'failed' coaches that have faded from the senior coaching scene, and then gone on to coach successfully? I'm seeing the likes of Shaw, Wallace, Ayers being brought up, but I can't think of anyone who's belatedly rebo...
