Re: McCartin

I went to the preseason game at Ballarat and at first was really happy to see what Paddy could do. I was so hopeful that it would finally work out. Then he got what looked like a pretty standard knock and was down. Someone in the crowd immediately commented "that is career ending" and tha...

Re: Buncha $h*t Kickers.

Hard decisions over the preseason you have these players who can mark, and win the ball...but can't kick goals!! It is crippling!! It is particularly crippling as a supporter trying to enjoy the game. The swans fans got so much more cartharsis. So frequently their players could just kick it through ...

Re: Let's press the reset button NOW

We had 2 less inside 50s than the swans yet were thrashed. There is a serious problem with kicking goals at stkilda these past few years. Accuracy is appalling. When you do all the hard work and then kick a point instead of a goal everyone loses confidence. Membrey had a shot in the last quarter at ...

That's the spirit, Jiggster! Winning a premiership isn't everything, but it sure would help bring some sense of fulfilment in following this damn quest of supporting our beloved, hapless football club. I'm over thirty years younger than yourself and even I feel pessimistic about my chances of witne...

Re: quote from the coach

Just gutless football. What insipid, wretched, gutless, horrible football from the red white and black. Where is the passion? Where is the passion? That first quarter was so disgracefully s***. I'm now angry about it. Richos corporate rubbish response is so lacking any emotion it is symptomatic of t...

I know I am lucky. I started when Lockett was rising. Winmar...etc. I missed the true horror of the 80s.

Re: This is the most hopeless stkilda team I have ever seen

Swans appear to have a limitless supply of players who just step up and become A grade players. Our guys dont read the play well, basic skills are executed poorly or with hesitancy. There are some on our team that are out there on the ground, but appear to be mentally off somewhere else. With the fa...

This is the most hopeless stkilda team I have ever seen

Been to the footy since I was a kid in about 1987. I have seem some terrible stkilda teams like the 2000/2001 team, but at least in those dark days we had a hopeful good player who was Robert Harvey. This current team has nobody. There is not a single good player. Not one player who will shine a lig...

The loss of Riewoldt is massive. It is going to take the club 5 years to recover from losing his leadership and his gigantic heart.

Re: Paddy

I'm calling it now that Paddy won't make the grade at this level. I don't know what people saw in him to have him as a potential number 1 pick because I don't see anything that warranted him being picked up at 1; I wouldn't even take him as a third round selection. Too slow, not a great mark, avera...

Gilbert is a legacy player from the Clinton Jones/Andrew McQualter era.

Terrible foot skills but good fitness etc. The latter gets him a game.
