The/our Choach's admissions are more than we've had before. So knowing how clubs lie, especially when put under the pump, the truth most likely is several more notches worse than the/our Choach's concessions. I also noted, that for all the spin, the/our Choach wouldn't say how good we can expect Han...

"Just between you and me however he is an unbelievably good person whose knowledge of the game is the best I’ve seen in my time here. Really really respected by the players. Have no idea why it hasn’t worked....so far." Thanks Saynta. I've heard a lot of the same and seen a lot of the sam...

We've named an undersized backline, both in terms of height and weight. I think that Joyce is your third man up defender type, and maybe a pinch hitter in a key slot. Even more so with Battle. Except that with Battle, he's wasted in defence. Battle on 'two-metre' Peter...? :shock: In perfect conditi...

Doc, I drive past the JO every second Friday arvo'. Including last Friday arvo'. And I always look out over the ground. Doc, you've got it wrong. The JO is very clearly available for footy. :idea: But Doc, I'm wondering what has happened to your show-me-a-problem-I'll-show-you-an-opportunity-can-do ...

At least in rugby league they know where the opposition is coming from so they can brace themselves. AFL is a 360 degree sport where they often get caught/hit unawares from any direction on the field. In addition AFL is a much faster paced game where collisions are often similar to a car crash. Lea...

This quote from Richo suggests it may have finally clicked. “There needs to be a real element of smarts to our play as opposed to just being about pressure which is probably where we’ve been.” Lets see... what, after ten-odd years in various assistant choaching positions...? and five-odd years as t...

Geary - resign Armitage - needs a really good year, don't think he'll be at the club in 2020 Carlisle - resign , heavily performance based deal to encourage his rehab, we've paid him a lot of money for 39 games over his initial four year deal. Gresham - blank cheque time, must resign Newnes - resig...

This year's draft? The whisper is that we're already right onto it. Our talent scouts have been instructed to leave no turn un-stoned (you know the rest... ) to find us the best young half back flanker/inside mid/injured key forward with chronic health issues in the country. And unlike some of the C...

Keith Miller also had a team mate at both St Kilda, and 'The Invincibles'. The St Kilda forward registered a six-goal haul against Geelong in round eight, helping to secure an away win, and scored 23 goals in the last six matches, including five in each of the last three matches ...he came second in...

Battle of Britain mentality? Don't forget the RAAF's Flight Sergeant Miller who flew Mosquito fighter bombers over occupied Europe during the war. https://www.azquotes.com/picture-quotes/quote-i-ll-tell-you-what-pressure-is-pressure-is-a-messerschmitt-up-your-arse-playing-cricket-keith-miller-69-51...

Probably. As long as you don't try to link it in with being some sort of comment on the perceived standing within the AFL industry of Messers Lethlean, Finnis or Grubby Allen.

There's simply no way I can see Paddy continuing. Given how increasingly prone he is to concussion/s, there is no way that the AFL's insurers would be prepared to cover him. So here's the chance for our club to score some significant brownie points. From the articles we've been linked to, footy appe...

I'm less concerned with how we fare this year than how we fare over the next few years. There were better options. Much better options. We've picked this guy, who, by his own admission, wasn't even trying to stay in the AFL system. It might have cost us a game, maybe two, if we went with a longer-t...

Wasn't the AFL thinking of a 3rd boutique stadium? Or have they dropped off that idea? I know Punt Rd was been discussed, a ridiculous notion. Whether the AFL replace the Docklands (I refuse to call it Marvel) or not, I think a third smaller stadium is needed and it should be south of the Yarra. Fo...

Big mistakes/disasters: - Pissing-off the dual 'Champion of the Colonies' medalist. Cost us at least one flag. - Hitting the celebratory champers before the 1913 GF. Cost us the flag. - Billy Barrott (as Enrico said). Cost us flags. - Not fixing the interest rate on the loan to build Moorabbin in th...

So the whisper is, that there's no truth to the whisper that both Paddy and Dylan spent the night in hospital?

And there's, in particular, no truth to the whisper that Paddy was feeling quite crook?

Is that the word?

“When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.” HollySEN! :D :D :shock: :D :D (w) It's been w ay too long.

The Coff'. Looks to me to have bulked up, so should now be able to do his stuff against AFL-sized bodies. That just leaves aerobic capacity - I'm not sure where he stands on that one. Anyone know? So IMHO, maybe this year, if not, 2020 for sure... break out year. :D You've always been a wise man, D...

Dave, if you refuse to read my posts then I can't help you. You are clearly just trolling and therefore I will ignore your gibberish. http://a64.tinypic.com/2e51a29.jpg And here was I, thinking Doc that you were the one not reading my posts, given that all the points you've raised have been address...

guilty of cheating on his Grinder profile <warning for baiting and homophobic post> Hi Simon, could you please rescind Gaz's little holiday? Ta. It's all a misunderstanding. Whilst I loathe it, surely there's nothing homophobic about caffeine...? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h1k9aNrQjQw/VXVFuS4htuI/AA...

I still want Josh Battle playing forward! Half backs are easy to find.

However, blokes who can get hold of the footy up forward... and then kick the bloody thing... straight...

I have always found it funny when say a Carlton or Essendon supporter brags about how many flags they have won and then joke that the Saints have only won one. My response has always been the same. "So what? Are they going to talk about it at your or my funeral?" I have always found it fu...

Oh Doc. Just when I thought you might be getting on a roll... But still no meme addressing... our $10 million debt is growing , whilst enemy clubs clear their $10 million debts. (Including one club, with no supporters, and also no pokie bandits. :idea: ) Our beloved club is going backwards. And whil...
