You have a strange definition of "fact"...Unless you have evidence that can prove your hypothesis.

Caminiti still has some defensive aspects to his game that requires significant work.

He is an UFA at the end of next year when he'll be 28. Carlton are not going to let him go when they're contending. And we shouldn't be chasing him if it's going to cost us high draft picks. So he’s a RFA this offseason, therefore if he accepts an off Carlton can match it or take the compensation p...

There is an opposition you know, don’t you?
Possibly, but the opposition isn't responsible for unforced turnovers or missed set shots.
It also isn't responsible for our work rate reflected in the tackle count.

Ya reckon we have a chance? Sports bet do Saints $1.77 Freo $2.10 Obviously influenced by where game played (State) Those are outrageous odds.

Re: Changes for Freo

Why do they keep fumbling the ball? It’s so bad that every time they get they ball, I wince and expect someone to just stuff up. It’s a sign of lack of confidence and trust in your teammates. Because someone, somewhere will fumble, or they're expecting a poorly executed kick or handball. One missed...

Re: Sandy at Wonthaggi

Found it interesting, being able to hear the players clearly, that Jones was yelling at Caminiti to pick up his defender. Caminiti presented well in the forward line and was a clear target, but he clearly still has defensive areas that he needs to address. Until those issues are resolved and while h...

Re: Is it time to play Pou at HBF

So teasing your POV out a little further, is it possible, or has it happened before where Kevin Sheehan writes up a draft prospect such as Pou that has not met the profile projected in his write up at AFL level? If the answer is yes, then what is it you have seen in his 30 AFL games that makes you ...

No. We are the St Kilda Football Club...
But I don't have the issue with the name change for the SDNR.

I wonder if other clubs are having these discussions? Imagine the chardonnay and cheese platter brigade at Naarm. What outrage.

Be mindfull of the fact that the marketeers who write the draft bios also write the blurbs for wine labels. Without being disrespectful, I'd trust Kevin Sheehan's words over yours anyday.
