How about 'We're a bunch of reactive losers with a victim mentality who are useless without the fantastic bastard who left us and took away our only chance of success and we want you all to know it.' Let me spell this one out for the keyboard thumpers; that's not what I think of St Kilda, that's the...

I respect both of them enormously and think both made major contributiions towards making the last decade a far more enjoyable one for this particular Saints supporter than were either of the two preceeding decades.

As far as player intel goes, if we're looking for fresh ideas, the only clubs worth taking from would be ourselves, Cats, Pies or Hawks; everyone else already out-of-date. Otherwise we've got Steven King and Robert Harvey. Therefore, Leigh Brown and Dogface Milburn would be the logical solution, the...

I remember that "widely reported" scoop of seeing Lyon having a coffees with Pelchen. I thought at the time that that implied complicity, perhaps even that Lyon instigated the appointment, as suggested in the media. Reflecting now, I was naïve. I've shared plenty of breaks with colleagues...

make him serve his 3months notice! What exactly would that achieve? He wanted out, best to get him out and start the new era tout suite. Look at Pies; they didn't even wait for another final to let Mark Neeld go. Only dedicated personnel required thanks. Think St Kilda FC's reaction to this has bee...

What's happened with St Kilda FC finances last ten years?

I'm happy to move on from the dour Lyon era, my concern is the reason he apparently left, ie because we wanted to give him less money - I can't find the quote that suggested this, so please correct me if I'm wrong - and also the negative picture generally of our finances. I've read the stories about...

By the way, let me be clear about loyalty. With supporters, loyalty is key. It's all we have as motivation. It's like a tribe or a family. You don't just hop on the most successful bandwagon. With players and coaching staff it's different; this is their career and its totally their choice if they sa...

Hmmmm, not sure. Think we come off looking a bit reactive and soft. Ross will probably win some cups in the future, and he'll come off looking like Blighty or Malthouse or more likely Pagan. I don't buy this loyalty stuff, and I'm glad St Kilda didn't go down that road in the presser. We'd have look...

Imagine that. Media linking another weak-as-piss club to our contracted Head Coach.

If France started an AFL club, would Ross Lyon be 'strongly ...
