That giants' game had been dropped down my St Kilda bad memory hole.

Nas and Sharman were bright points on a dark day.

Needless to say, players who can turn up for finals are gold.

Also Erin Patterson has just been arrested.

There's a much room/mushoom, salary cap/death cap joke in there somewhere, and something about Erin's not being wanted on the footy field or in the kitchen... but it's probably too soon.

6/10 might be a pass but factor in it was stated as fact and it looks poor.

Partial Mass Exodus.

Nights like this you're grateful for the docklands' roof.

Hope the filthy weather is the least filthy thing about the scums' night.

If he was a Saints player you'd all be arguing that it was incidental contact and that he shouldn't be sighted Yep and that would be biased. Some are biased against changing the rules and the culture to better protect players. Maynard being rubbed out might ultimately help fkn carlton win the flag,...

Maybe Brayshaw should be cited for recklessly colliding with Maynard's shoulder. Or maybe some people think that if you play footy you probably have brain damage anyway, so a little more won't matter. I say Maynard chose to run and jump at Brayshaw, then chose again (while in mid-air and apparently ...

Initial intent is irrelevant. He launched off the ground at full tilt and directly at Brayshaw, then tucked and turned his shoulder into his opponent, who in that moment was utterly helpless... and most significantly knocked the guy clean out. He could've tried to fend off or reduce impact with his ...

Be good to get 60 at this Saibts fans need to stand up here Yeah it makes a difference. The '150' game v essendon was great, 69k (nice!), mostly saints, amazing. I think there were a lot of heavily discounted tix though. It'll be the allure of a final, vs tix price, + we're not favourites.

Sometimes it's just time... or past time.

Like now it's time to get on the RTB train.

I've always been on the RTB train ... Recruiting The Best!!

Very good!

Of course it's a mix of *everything*. The coach is the figurehead and face of the club, the coach often takes much more blame than they are given credit, the coach ultimately calls all the game day, gameplan, etc., shots, and has vast input on many levels. In football codes around the world a superi...

Here's my conspiracy theory / 4D chess moment of the week. We knew in round 6 we had a winner of a gameplan. We had significant media attention and other clubs were trying to dissect our game. We changed it up to throw them off the scent, sold it as "trying new things" lost a few winnable...

Isn't it the same for most other male sports? It's not like their team-mates wouldn't know... why would anyone want the media or a random knuckle dragger on the other side of the fence to know their particular orientation? If you 'announced' it you'd almost kinda be obliged to become a spokesperson....

Ask me after Saturday.

It would likely involve a lot of travel... but it's 'only' 4 wins.

And it's a pretty open year. They're all beatable.

Doing a barnstorming Bradbury and claiming it in a year nobody expected us to, would be peak St Kilda.

Funny that none of the players or other people who worked at the Club, then, since, or now, all of whom presumably have a better handle on what actually went down, seem to hold him in such contempt. If he really did behave dishonourably, surely, they wouldn't have had him back. Maybe (and I know th...

On the other hand, if RL was that great a coach, Freo wouldn't have let him go, markp. They wouldn't have shut the door on him. As I said, our coaches deserve some credit, but not the Lyon's share of it. We got our recent recruiting right ... and our 18 year olds ... the three talented amigos ... h...

GC will likely beat NM this week and finish maybe only 2 games plus % out of the 8. They lost 1 game by 5 points, another by 4 points, and were on the wrong end of some sound thumpings. If hardwick can be the difference to bridge that gap and they play finals then they'll be rightly delighted and he...

The 'worship' thing is usually overstated, or if there, mostly a bit of a fun + half a wind-up. We never see recruiters and we often don't get to see the friuts of their endeavours till a few years down the track. Maybe we should really 'worship' the people who choose the coach and recruiters.... bu...
