Attard every day of the week over CJ & Mini. CJ is out of his depth at the moment & Mini has not shown anything to get excited about. Both would be very lucky to survive into 08 in my book, whereas Attard has been a revelation. Solid without being spectacular, he does his role. Would take hi...

Johnny Cochrane would not have got Bakes off last night. Why they wasted 3 hours of everyone's time to deliver a verdict that had been pre-determined is almost as big as disgrace as the decision. Are we sure that Schimmelbusch, Dunne & Henwood actually attended? Maybe Andy & Adrian used holo...

Adrian Anderson designed this system so that precedent can not be used (ie like or exact incident are treated in widely varying manners).

If precedent was accepted (as it is in EVERY legal institution in the country) then the AFL could not proceed with it's secret agendas.

an someone then explain how Luke Ball can get his head split open, suffer severe concussion & miss three weeks of footy & the offender have no case to answer? With the exception of the ball being about 15 metres away, the action by Whelan & Baker was EXACTLY the same. Stationary but push...

Despite having a cynical outlook that Bakes would cop the AFL's wrath again, I did hold out some hope that some semblence of fair play and justice would prevail.

This result is shattering for those of us who still hold a shred of belief in the integrity of this game.

That's just about gone now.

They're saying 7 weeks on bigfooty

We beat the Eagles & play well & we will be up to our ears in it.

A lot needs to go our way as mentioned but we have the midfield & forward line to scare teams above us...and the defence is starting to come together too.

Just like those old windbags supporting Barry Hall in 2005!

I thought Birss was pretty good, has added a bit in the rotation. Not a world beater but I think he's getting better by the week. I've been of the opinion that Raph just needs a good run with no injuries & we'll see how good he can be. He's still very inexperienced but has shown glimpses of bein...

It's an easy game with all hands on deck.

If they keep their group together they are more than likely to win it.

BUT if they lose a few in that last couple of weeks...

As I've said before I wouldn't mind a Cats' flag if Thompson & Chapman weren't there/

The fact that McBurney, Ellis & Vozzo are all senior, very experienced umpires & they still over umpired the game. As I have said time & time again, the problem is not with the umpires, it is with their leadership. The Giechen/Sawyers regime has overseen umpires become more pedantic, sof...

I hope he pulls his finger out & shows some of his true ability... he's been a major disappointment for me this season. After the West Coast game in 2006 I'd thought that he'd become a true leader, a true gun of our team...he's not in my top 10 for the year.

I could beat you there Jiggler, my little Hayley is 6 weeks old but I don't think her mum will let me induct her into the fold just yet!

The accountability aspect of Lyon's coaching is a mystery to me... it seems that he preaches accountability (in my book that means taking responsibility for a man, ie; man on man) yet his mega flood results in players guarding space rather than an opposition player. The biggest issue with this is th...

Emulate Geelong? Get 5 cheap father & sons selections for nothing & then boast that they have built a team without early draft picks! Gary Ablett, Nathan Ablett, Matthew Scarlett, Tom Hawkins, Mark Blake, etc, etc...all with pick 25+ I wouldn't mind Geelong if that smug prick Thompson wasn't...

Fair points but I suppose the overwhelming feeling of being let down again and again sees people vent their frustrations on this web site. Most here would be sensible, reasonable people who don't mean what they type, it's just letting out of the considerable disappointments that we as St.Kilda lover...

Despite how inept we were, the umpiring was deplorable. They are getting away with it more this year, probably because of the in the back rule allowing people to say 'don't blame the umps, it's the rules of the game committee'. Has the AFL instructed various media to not report terrible umpiring? No...

I love watching the saints, week in week out, wet & dry, Moorabbin, Waverley, Dome, losses, big losses, more losses, wins... But I hate watching this rubbish Lyon is instructing them to play now. It doesn't play to our strengths & if Lyon is half a coach he will recognise that & make som...

I've been a long time X defender & supoorter but he lost me tonight. The missed goals were frustrating but the lack of effort was pathetic. Look on the bright side folks, at least Lyon is learning about how certain players react in high pressure, must win situations. Lovely bloke X, but just can...

Chad Cornes hasn't played CHB all year so I'll lock him in as the player picked as the best at that position who doesn't play there. My team was B. Campbell Brown Matthew Scarlett Darren Milburn HB Tarkyn Lockyer Sam Fisher Heath Shaw C. Brent Harvey Chad Cornes Jimmy Bartel HF. Gary Ablett Jnr Nick...
