1993 I think?? I played in the vickick at half time at that game. My only footy claim to fame!!! It was about -5 degrees, and all I remember was a massive black cloud coming over the sir kenneth luke stand.

The papers are a friggin joke. In The Age this morning (match report by Len Johnson), check out this paragraph...... "In the first half Riewoldt kicked four of the Dockers five goals. Then he kicked another goal early in the third quarter." Disgraceful..........! The subbies must have bee...

I think it's obvious.

We're stacking Casey for a crack at the finals, as a 'thank you' for the years of partnership!!!!

Must be Joey. Has been woeful this year.

Schneider leads the league in running along side an opposition player and waving his arms in the air when that player is in possession. Schneider doesn’t waste his time trying to tackle said player with the ball, that is for the uninitiated! This acquired skill has taken a long time to master and...

Yes it is time to start TANKING. Bring in young kids and give them a chance to develop. They will learn much faster and St Kilda does not need the wins. It won't happen because Ross Lyon can not be trusted to act in the club's best interest. He can feel the axe on the back of his neck. Ross Lyon ne...

He can play on joeys wing.

Joey can play on howards wing at casey

I'll probably get mobbed for this.... Montagna has to be dropped. He needs to get 30 touches at casey for a couple of weeks. He has shown nothing all year, but has avoided the axe because there's always been enough players worse than him. But i'd probably expect wholesale changes this week, so start...

It's been the case since the 'tunnelling' debarcle of round one. Roo gets manhandled like no other forward.

That being said, roo has no presence in a pack, and i'm sure it looks a lot worse than the contact he's actually getting because of his lack of strength.

If we don't see a pretty severe turn around in the next month, Harves may pull the pin before the end of the season anyway. If there was an Eddy or a Howard or even an Attard banging on the door at Casey, the last thing Harves would want is to be holding them back by playing in the seniors. We can't...

If the St Kilda back six get in Barry Halls face before the first bounce, it will show this team has a little bit of ticker left and a little bit of bottle about them. I would love nothing more than Maxy giving Barry a big push in the chest, say "you're a f***ing thug" for the world to lip...

give koz the week off....ffs, his injured and out of touch. start ferg up in the goal square, f**k it.....what do we have to lose? i mean really, come on, he cant go any worse than anyone else who has had a go up there this year. granted he didnt have the kicking boot on a few weeks ago and kicked ...

alright so whos in contention rix firoa raph mini now that x is out for another 4 weeks, we really need to recall some experience. i would like to rix, raph and fiora given a chance at the expense of geary, armitage and ferg. sometimes experience over young blood can bring you ahead in leaps and bo...

Time to sort out who can be part of the next st kidla premiership side, and who won't be This mean no clarkes, no fiora, no l fisher, no king, no gwilt, no dempster, no schneider, no C gardiner etc. Jones and ferguson are pretty close to this list, with a couple of weeks of form keeping them in cont...

It could only happen if either Gehrig was in form and fit, or Allen was bashing down the door at Casey.

It would probably shake up our insipid forward line, but i don't think it's a long term solution.

Couldn't be worse than having that CHEAT Matthew Head umpiring.

Only possible in could be X Clarke. Not sure if he's fit yet, but he'd be the only one considered.

Probably have a week at Casey though.

round 4 2005.... dees undefeated. saints 11th with 1 win and 2 losses and no Riewoldt or Harvey. we were underdogs and won by 8 goals. That was the game where Guerra crunched Cameron Bruce about five seconds in wasn't it? Sure was. I remember saying to some mates on the train to the game that if so...

Bruce gave it some of his best work though. Might be enough to get Ferg across the line...

I think it's from a Harvey Wall Banger - a cocktail that i imagine would have been pretty popular at the Moorabbin Disco back in the day.

The reason we won was because Melbourne failed to do the 4 things required the beat st kilda. Bulldogs will cover these much better, which will give us a much better picture of where our boys are at. The 4 things are: Hard tag on dal santo Stop gram and sam fisher spending time by themselves. Stop R...

On a somewhat unrelated topic, hypothetically, Aaron Davey comes off contract. Do we go for him???? He's probably mid 20's, plenty of fooy ahead of him. He's a proven talent, but has been missing something in the last 18 months. A change of club might find this missing factor. We would love a super ...

Well at least getting crap results would be a reasonable reason to sack the coach It goes so far past the results. Didn't anyone wonder why, at 4-3 and 5th on the ladder, we had one injured, out of form player picked for the dream team game?? It's the way we are playing, the dull, sleep inducing st...

Agreed. He has had plenty of time to show some improvement, and the fact we've gone backwards has to be pinned on the head coach.

This week is a real test. It's disinterested-class versus unskilled-passion.

If we don't get the 4 points in convincing fashion this week, Ross Lyon should be in the gun.

I don't think anyone's mentioned it, but Jones's IMPROVEMENT is the reason he is getting picked, and is still on the list. He is never going to have silky skills, but he obviously works hard at it because his skills have improved out of sight since this time last year. He is learning how to get arou...
