Pathetic.

JB complained to my brother and me in about 2001 that St Kilda spent less than 1% of revenue on talent identification.

If he bothered to tell me I assume he told someone on the board.

Saints Premiers 2006 wrote:what kind of club that wants to be taken seriously would advertise looking for a sponsor???

And how many newspapers did the ad appear in?

Did a potential sponsor based in Sydney see it?

One of the best sporting books ever is "The Glory Game" by Hunter Davies.
Follows Spurs for one season in the early '70s. Not really a biography though.

A good auto-biography (soccer) is Left Foot Forward by Garry Nelson.

Both on ebay...

I wish some people would have a logical think about this scenario....... We have just had a 60 - 80 goals a year player retire who is going to be hard to replace. Correct. BF is a gun. Pick 9 is a nobody. I think people would be amazed to see what winning every now and then might do for a (hard wor...

Personally, I would find rolling over in front of the information provided to be an ultimate disservice. I am almost gagging to get rid of Rodders (sponsorship, football department & public embarrassment) but I look at that proxy form and envelope and cannot - with the information provided - st...

Too many?

Surely all that needs to happen is for Judd to say "I want to play for St Kilda". WC then decide wether to accept pick 9 or lose him for nothing. I can only remember Port doing this with Stevens. Hall, Lockett, Black have all told St Kilda who to deal with. We then pay him Gehrig's wages, ...

I got one too. Who gave them my telephone #? How did they obviously get a membership list with personal details? Does that mean the Club has provided them with the list? Yeah I want to know this too. I thought my details to the club were private? How can these people who I have never heard of befor...

Good to hear that a bloke employed by the club since last November is willing to sit around bagging decisions made prior to him being there (rookies, recruiting), discussing in-house matters (GT & JB) and pontificate on matters he clearly doesn't understand (AH's "5 year" contract) wit...

Are you sure about that?

Bollocks.. you misquoted the article to suit your never ending tirades that this pathetic season is due to a former employee. You're the bloke sitting on a tram to Baghdad telling himself he's going to Disneyland. You have stated that GT (the employee) asked for to much and the Board (the employer) ...

Yes agreed...disgraceful that GT was paid $500,000 a year...way above what a rookie coach should have received...Board should not have agreed to his demands. Also disgraceful that GT wanted the head trainer to take a 10% salary cut (GT did the deals for all football department staff).....had to fin...

We should've won all games after the break! Lost to pies by 8 after leading Drew with Dogs Lost to Sydney after leading Lost to Eagle after leading should've been 11/11 going in to the finals! :x We haven't had more than four players on the injury list since the break (including Gardiner & Hami...

Would you say that the players worked as hard/showed the determination of last year?
(Let alone the previous three years)

Well spotted.

Same. We were in the back section (there were two big screens going). The only time we've ever finished on top...

Nothing else happened that day.

Was Gehrig an elite full forward until he started pushing into defence and getting about four scoring opportunites a game?

It's hard to define...

The past three Saturday nights have seen me chatting to a bird at 11pm only to miss out by 1am. Im lonely but hopeful for the long term.

Best player at the club.

Doesn't the previous bad record (which I think is accumualtive) include

'attempting to strike' Stafford (the ****)

'kicking' some Essendon ruckman standing on his ankle.

He's had a fairly bad run at the tribunal.

It wasn't a comparison of #13 & #43 directly. Both have qualities.

Just saying that if I was thinking about the way I would like a team to play it would involve Voss before Attard.

Same goes (for me) with Blake before Rix.

I posted last week that any gameplan that suits/fits Attard and not Voss didn't seem right. Voss did well. Can do better. I hope he gets the opportunity to show RL how valuable/versatile he can be.
