Who's shocked that the StKilda affiliate was robbed of victory by two blatant umpire mistakes. What a disgrace. Hey Curly - you will love this article in today's Age by Leaping Larry: There is a man seated in a chair reading. He looks like he probably would be relaxing, if it weren't for the cat se...

They are however, either inept or dishonest.
Some of the frees ignored or non-frees paid are just plain incredulous.

AFL tried to cover up Umpire Heads cheating a decade ago. I know that much. Thought the umpires were OK last night, I saw a couple of decisions go the wrong way, both ways.... Did you know one of them was the son of Terry Wallace. What's the Umpire Heads cover up all about, please tell more I don’t...

Reasons we'll finish closer to the bottom next year: - Gold Coast won't be so bad (assuming they keep some good players) - Essendon won't be so bad (once suspensions are complete, admittedly a risk for them) - Melbourne should be a bit better again (especially with Petracca) - Hard to see which tea...

Go Dees we want picks :) What is it with Saints supporters wanting a wooden spoon or low ladder ranking just to pick up some early first-round draft picks. You don’t see the Hawks, Cats, North, etc. operate like this! The Hawks would be the best example. When did they last have a wooden spoon or sa...

I have heard if you dive on the ball and take the legs or the player has to take evasive action it's a free. Is this true because Membury had this happen to him in the goal square but yet no free. Also blocking forwards is apparently a free yet Roo and Bruce continually blocked off the contest. Can...

Sorry folks, but this is beyond embarrassment! It’s shameful and cringe worthy. I do remember the early 2000s when we only won two games, but from memory, the losses were never so consistently bad. So another wooden spoon. Why it is always St Kilda to get the wooden spoons??? Not Geelong, nor North ...

Sorry I don't remember us doing too much that is even close to being in the same league as Essendon. We sacked Lovett after we paid a huge price for him, moved on Gram after his issues with the law, probably suggested Milne move on for the sake of everyone involved and dealt with a stupid mad monda...

So? We had the same disadvantage yesterday, but what has this to do with the NZ game?

We play Essendope this coming Saturday, while Brisbane plays Richmond this Coming Thursday, which means they have a 7 day break and the Saints a 5 day break for the ANZAC game in NZ. In contrast, Collingwood and Essendope both play on Saturday, so nobody has an advantage over the other. Gotta love t...

I’m a little out of the loop.

Can someone explain to my, how exactly did CJ put fire to the dwarf. Did he walk up to him, flicked his lighter and proceeded to set fire to his clothes – I mean totally, intentionally on purpose, just to see the dwarf burn and get hurt??

Let’s not forget one thing. Milne did a very stupid thing 9 years ago, and this has nothing to do with rape. Whatever happe...

8 to 0 free kicks in one quarter is simply not possible. No matter how badly a team plays , the opposition will infringe at some time. This is a farce!!

maybe bacause we are second to the ball and often undersized in the contest and genrally not as good as the comp we tend to break the rules a bit more often ?? we get the bad rub and we notice it cause its our team but the fact is most teams get the bad rub from time to time Look at Port Adelaide. ...

Just right-click the picture/photo and e-mail it to yourself.

Watters inherited an ageing unbalanced team, with little depth. If he is to turn this club around, he will have to step on toes and will make very unpopular moves. One of the most unpopular moves he will make, will be dropping some of the entrenched veterans who have played well for years, but didn...

Yes, we did get less free kicks and only one in the forward 50. A lot were missed on both sides, although we certainly got the rough end of the pineapple, but this happens all the time and does not necessarily lose you the game. However, one thing is for sure, if the game hangs in the balance with o...

No - just find the signature I'm referring to.

Cant go along with a hot pre season being our problem. My thoughts are if you practice in hot weather you acclimatise. Why dont sides want to play Brisbane in that time in late April? Because by then you arent used to the hot weather. That is absolute nonsense. An AFL player runs about 13-15 km per...

I don't see why we wouldn't give him grace on this one. Wasn't every preseason game 35ish this year? He isn't typically an excuse maker IMO, so I see no reason to doubt him yet. We never seem to take the saints side anymore even when it's probably justified. I understand the frustration but spin do...

All supporters are fickle, some clubs including us, just can't afford our supporters to be that way. the AFL has never been so generous to the battling clubs since I've been following footy.
