I was surprised when Hutchy said Rhys Stanley had just done his PB bench press of 135 kg ! That is a fair bench press and one I wouldn't have thought his frame would handle. Hopefully this gives him a new found strength in the body to body stuff as he has been brushed aside a bit up until now. It'l...

I heard Tim Lane pass a comment about us (and every team) needing to improve. He then followed that up with, and he seemed to delight in it, that he can't see where our improvement will come from. I don't believe improvement always comes from young guys moving up, or bringing new guys to the club. T...

The irony in this aftermath, is that the people who were duped by the girl hook, line and sinker, are now bagging and questioniong Gilbert for being sucked in by her.

Especially if it's the lies, manipulation, and exploitation of a minor.

I'm certainly not excusing the media.

But I'm also not letting the general public off the hook either!

So are we going to have articles in the paper every time a footballer does something silly in their personal life?

As usual, one of the worst pieces I've ever read. The relevance of his pieces are consistently a mystery to me. Rodger? :shock: What? I can never understand why his articles are even written. They are never anything more than just a surly old man having a whinge. He has no ties with anyone or any c...

If the media didn't print this garbage then collectively the public wouldn't really know anything about it and therefore they wouldn't have a need to read it.Nobody really knows whats going to be in the next days paper until they buy it,if it's full of trumped up,unsubstantiated claptrap then thats...

Johnny Member People blame the media, and they have every right to. But really, it's the public that keep the media in a job. If the public didn't want to hear the s*** they dish up, they simply wouldn't dish it up anymore. You only had to have a read of the BigFooty input on the whole thing to see...

I didn't learn anything. Honestly, I never ever have from a pre-season game. I tend not to get excited one way or another until Round 5. History shows that what happens in the pre-season, and generally in the first month of the season tells us absolutely nothing about what will happen in the last mo...

Ch 9 News tonight -apparently KD has been at the cop shop today for several hours, reason unknown but can only be put down to last nights interview. There is also now a full time security guard at her hotel door. So much for "I want to get on with a normal life now and move forward" She i...

Hitler's men were paid to do stuff to.

Everyone has choices.

Who has (possibly) been sleeping with and taking drugs with a high profile player manager. Anthony Dowsley told the story. I don't see what your problem is. He is paid to do this. He loaded a gun and handed it to a disturbed and vunerable child. So to speak, of course. Her life is stuffed and will ...

Just (in hindsight mind you) the hotel may not have been the best option. Could of given her an education fund to further her studies or something like that? But I don't think it was ever about what was best for her. PR is about making yourself look good, regardless of whether you are or not. And t...

So why was the club angry with Levin then, and his tough stance? Where they unaware at that stage that the claims of pregnancy were false? Why the reports of senior officials being so displeased? Not sure about the accuracy of those reports. I'm sure the club must have been aware of the pregnancy l...

And she aint the brains of the operation.

And this is the most salient point in the whole discussion.

Yep.

Ross Levin, StK FC Vice President and lawyer was correct !! I'm not sure he was at all. I think he misread the whole situation. Obviously the club knew that the whole thing was garbage, but that was never really the issue. The issue was public perception. And I think that Levin's work initially led...

I can't believe that. If the world has any decency left, journalists and the footy public will queuing up to apologise to the St. Kilda Football Club. I'm in a bit of shock. And really, if you watched that as a nuetral observer, I'd reckon you'd be scratching your head as to what the anlge of the st...

I actually think it's good.

You need to practice travelling too.

I keep reading on BigFooty.com that Roo isn't liked by his teammates!


Boy, do BigFooty have it wrong!!

You're not Richard Wilkins are you SainterK?!

I reckon we'd get our pants pulled down if she played.

Not sure about her. Seems to duck her head a bit.
