Just like Eddie commentating Pies games or Luke Darcy commentating Dogs games, an ex player shouldn’t umpire a game involving his old team due to the clear favouritism for them, perceived or actual. Just like home umpires don’t officiate in Test matches anymore, it removes the potential for any iss...

Dud, you should change your name to peanut

Maybe the umps are just trying to even the ledger as historically we’ve been a very looked after team? Don't you ever criticize Curly....of course we are consistently on the wrong side of the ledger (not always) when it comes to umpires and Dogs have been historically on the right side. You are bli...

Was Essendon the VFA club he played for?

Try looking at the ex Hawthorn players that also came our way...
We were known as Carlton and Hawthorn seconds for a few years

You sound like a bad sport Gershwin
Professionals don't like losing but there is nothing worse than behaving childishly when you lose...must be gracious in defeat

One thing I’ve noticed is that the players look up at the goal posts I never even looked at the goal posts when kicking at goal. Looking at two objects IMO makes it hard for the brain to figure out where to actually aim Same with golf. I never just aim down the middle of the fairway, I stand behind...

Crowd? Never seen a crowd member get a kick against StK Get your hand off it BM I used to read your threads above others but somehow your ego has gone way ahead of the person and now you think your knowledge is way ahead of all the other simpletons on here (not you Saynta) but truth is you're fast ...

King needs to lead to free up the blocks holds etc...opens the forward line when he leads

Freebird

yes you do know Curly but most will bury their head in the sand

I'm still pssed with recruiting Howard 2nd round in talented draft year when we could have taken him 126th. That was about the dumbest choice ever - up there with Frost

Freebird

I think everyone understands the game is not easy to umpire..
All everyone wants is consistency....why do the bulldogs consistently get the rub of the green and st kilda do not?

Freebird

Agree Saynta, Billings has been playing injured, unfortunately not all supporters are understanding because if you play you are considered fit. Billings when fit is consistently one of our better players.
The world is made up of its fair share of rsoles

I love their killer instinct...lets play lazy football and chip it around. Good sides don't do this and it becomes culture very quickly

Piss week st kilda....lazy footballers take you to the bottom

Freebird

An envy filled discussion that achieves nothing. The Dogs deserve the position they are in and I'm guessing most fair minded sports lovers and Saints supporters would wish them well. We possibly gifted them another flag the day we let Josh Bruce walk to them. I really like Josh Bruce and was sad to...

Who do we play?

The only positive from a very dreadful night IMHFO. That loss ranks with the worst ever. also IMHFO. The following have to be up there: - *Hawthorn defeated St. Kilda, 63 point deficit – Round 12, 1999 The Saints kicked nine goals to one in the opening term, before leading by as much as 63 points f...

The modern game is all about the midfield, without quality in there (as we can see now) it doesn’t really matter how good your talls are.

Why, according to BM we have one of the best midfields in the league

Freebird

Our midfield for example..how many of them would be selected in top sides and who would they be.

This is where the problem lies. Nice guys but average players, do not make things happen. Too many players we do not get excited by when they have ball in hand

Freebird

So who could not see the value of Hind in our jumper?

Freebird

Too easily pushed off/blocked/held

He must continually lead to break up the pack..if he drags opponents with him then that is good for us in creating other options
