He also said that if we get into the finals we WILL do some damage. He was confident about that. I praised him on his influence and example I felt that he had shown players like Luke Ball and Lenny Hayes. He lit up immediately and said Lenny was an absolute gun and too many underestimate him. He cou...

Some things aren't cheap in life but you can't put a price on things like these. There is a value that can't be quantified that my daughter experienced by meeting Robert. If she is inspired in life as I have been by him then that's great value. Unfortunately the others on the ferry didn't get to see...

Robert Harvey meet Saturday 5th

Today we were lucky enough to meet the most humble legend the game has ever seen. I have always admired Robert since the day he first played with StKilda.His record speaks for itself but to speak to the man in person is an education in life. One of modesty,humility and dignity. He is not pretentious...

I just don't like Michael Voss' opinion of himself. He seems to have a massive ego and confidence in his ability to coach even though he does nothing in that department to prove. Also Leigh Matthews' quote in regard to Voss' getting a senior coaching job was that he felt all senior coaches needed to...

Dal's performance doesn't sound promising at all. There was a lot of incentive for him to perform given the circumstances. I just hope this isn't the sign of a player that's unhappy. It looks that way. We all know he can play better. It's just so hard for us supporters to know exactly what is going ...

I appreciate the effort you have gone to with your proposal Moccha however it would mean we have given up and dissolved our Club. You mention how we have one premiership in 150 years.

While I'm not overly impressed with the coaching style I've seen from RL so far I think our problems are a lot deeper than the coach. The simple question is.. would Malthouse or Matthews do any better with our list,depth and injuries ? I'm guessing not. Matthews is a firm believer that every facet o...

I heard it on radio as well and immediately thought that it was not something he should have said. He smells of sour grapes every time he speaks about St Kilda. I feel if he loved the Club he could use some maturity and leave some things unsaid. He said it in a way that reflected poorly on the Club,...

Don't get me wrong... I like Jim Stynes and have no doubt he is passionate. And he could well be the best thing that's happened to the Dees but i have seen what Cook has done for a club I despise which was on it's knees. I'd go with that over passion anyday. We've had passion over the years. We need...

Sometimes it's not hard to see why Bay13 has fun with us.
But just one day we'll rub their noses in it.

Joffa, Birss has played better than last year. Fact imo. He has been more accountable and kicked a few moreso than others this year.He's no world beater but then again neither is most of our side this year. No hysteria there. Rate him against Gwilt and I'd take Birss nearly every time. Especially ag...

Just my .02 cents worth. Willing to be howled down but with respect. I think if Birss is dropped it will be perplexing as he has been very accountable. A must against the Swans. He has been better this year than last imo. Armo... had an "average" game last week. I read somewhere that the l...

Michael Nettlefold to join the Board

Just heard Gerard Healy say on 3aw that he has joined our board.

I see he has MD experience at Channel 10.
The club must see the need for some added experience.
We can do with all the help we can get atm.
An ex player too !

Mobile targets ?

Our second and third quarters was possibly the worst I've see a team present themselves when we had a free kick or mark. There was no run into space to create an option. We held the ball for an eternity with nothing on offer and then kicked to very poor options. Thereafter turnovers. What is that ? ...

It was no excuse for us losing but the umpiring today was plainly incompetent. That touched goal was hard to believe at this level. The goal umpire was surely close enough to see that !
