Re: Does your typical saints supporter suffer from PTSD

Great post, Loris. I'm sure we can all feel your pain. I was there in '66 too. A bit different for me though. It was my first Saints match after my family emigrated from the UK at the end of '65. I'd chosen the Saints as we stayed in St Kilda for around 6 weeks when we first arrived. I'm still glad ...

Re: Dunstan shares trade period stress in new AFL documentary

Dunstan's disposal was very poor when under NO PRESSURE...in space, with time, he would butcher his kicks, especially his delivery into forward 50. Often overshooting by many metres, sometimes grubbing the ball along the ground. He also fumbled below his knees and his handball was sloppy. Yes, he's...

Re: Dunstan shares trade period stress in new AFL documentary

Hopefully, we've gone from a 'no dickheads' policy to a no 'can't kick' policy.

Peter Schwab once asked Alex Ferguson "what do you do with players who can't kick".

Ferguson's reply, "We don't have any players who can't kick".

Re: The Grand Final - who'll win and why

I’ve never liked Melbourne, and my feeling goes back to the late ‘60s. They seem to be seen as some sort of sentimental favourite, but not in my mind. There appears to be a fair bit of triumphalism among Demons supporters around town, which is always annoying, and surely has to be tempting fate. Sai...

Spider’s attitude just before he left was so bad that many were glad to see the back of him.

Outrageous decision, but totally predictable.

About time someone did a Grant Thomas and took these decisions to the AFL. Perhaps a consortium of coaches would be best so that we couldn’t be singled out for the inevitable repercussions.
