Re: Nicky Winmar suing Sam Newman and co-hosts for attempt to revise historical moment

“They embraced and brought their heads together, and Nicky was repeatedly saying in that euphoric moment of celebration, ‘I’m black and I’m proud to be black, I’m black and proud to be black, I’m black and proud to be black’, to Gilbert as they embraced.

Re: Story on saints mosquito fleet

Great article. I love the concept of honouring the traditions and history. The loss of Spud could weaken that so good to see the current group respecting him. Thanks for posting Saynta.

Re: Footy in Melbourne -what a joke

So the VFL, sorry the pretend AFL, has reconstituted footy centred on old Melbourne town. What a joke. The only place in Australia where it’s not safe to be right now is Melbourne. Unidentified community transmission. Only place in OZ where that’s the case. We have an apartment in Melbourne that we...

Re: CANCELLATION OF THE 2020 SEASON NOT HAPPENING!!

If the trend continues as is, we’re definitely getting footy, 17 rounds total which is plenty for “legitimacy/integrity” of the season, no hubs. Looks fine to me, can’t wait. Just wish we’d won round 1.

Re: How did this team finish 6th?

Questionable. Experienced team, finals-hardened was able to flat-track bully the new teams (GC & GWS) which led to inflated results, but not good enough anymore against the better teams. Up to a point, I suppose. We only played against GWS once, by the way, and Gold Coast and GWS (who finished ...

Re: How did this team finish 6th?

Interesting post, BarryGrogan. Under SW in 2012, even though we were a team in decline and definitely in the rebuild phase, we at least started to score more freely and our % went up considerably - our rapid decline under RL was arrested somewhat in 2012 (in terms of games won and lost, at least). ...

Just curious, how many supporters still want thier money back? Serious question as I know people's views, opinions and attitudes are evolving quicker than the virus itself.

Re: MMM makes me angry. Footy players are strong nonsense.

The measures put in now need to be sustainable for up to 6 months, shutting everything down for 2 or 4 weeks isn’t going to achieve anything (Chief Medical Officer Prof Brendan Murphy covered all this this morning). The footy is a write off, that’s fine. But we can’t have schools close and business...

We all know China used pretty drastic lock-down measures, perhaps draconian, and achieved - cheating aside - some stability in terms of the spread.

Re: 8 reasons for saints fansto be excited

Cautiously excited is how I would categorise Robbo and his chances, I doubt very much he will be selected round 1 as he's missed way too much footy and I suspect his medical condition will need to be monitored for a good block of footy at VFL level. We just have other options now who are capable of...
