Re: Congratulations to the St Kilda football club

Whichever way you view this year in particular, in camparison to the 100+ years of history this club has, the last decade and a half has been an immensley succesful era. It's astonishing that we didn't come away with the big one like you said, but I feel it's not going to take long at all to get ba...

BJ as captain is just not quite right, nor Dal, Fish, Macca. It wouldn't work for the synergy of the team.
If BJ wants the captaincy and he wants to stay a Saint, give him the job. I say he's ready...'The synergy of the team'- what a croc!!!

Re: That was the end of the hope which sprung in 2003

I was crushed when Aaron Hamill was forced to retire. I was distressed when GT was sacked. I was devastated when Goosey Maguire and Xavier Clarke were told they were no longer required. I was stunned and dazed that we weren't giving more games to our youngsters when they clearly showed they had some...

Re: Our next "A" grader

As well as competing against the likes of Cats, Hawks, and Pies in 2013 you've got the other top 4 contenders - West Coast, Sydney, Adelaide, Carlton, and Essendon (if they get through their injury woes - bummers might have a chance to be top4 imo). With North, Freo, Richmond and us and maybe the Li...

Re: Losing faith

In 2003 , I watched our young bunch of emerging superstars leave the field a the end of the season , and in my mind I believed , really believed that we were on the verge of finally getting the flag I had dreamed off my whole life.

For a very long time he has not deserved his place in our best 22, I hope Scott moves him on at any cost and gives another the chance to develop. He seems very lost and without purpose on the field, he has little idea of where and how to lead and can't ruck. I applaud Scott's move to finally admit ...
