In the circumstances, we should be permitted to draft an extra rookie. Isnt it just a waste of money. The player will have been retired or delisted by a club. Seems like we one just because Essendon got 10. I honestly think the club couldn't give a rats. He has to be delisted at the end of the year...

[ cant see why you and SP are whinging. Is it because Essendon are getting some rejects? It's because they have access to a greater range of players than we have, even though they are the cause of the problem. As I've already stated. I don't care whether we would exercise the option to pick up an u...

I will always have the opinion that Caven simply got in the way of the flight of the ball. He just drifts into Plugger's lead with no awareness at all. Plugger sees him at the last moment and protects himself. It looks bad I admit that but wasn't worth 8 weeks Full credit to Caven for being extreme...

It's great that Essendon get to pick from the whole nation of uncontracted senior players to fill their list... And we get to upgrade a player that we've already decided isn't good enough for our senior list. Are you really jealous? They get to choose from players who have proven they're not good e...

We're the team that did the wrong thing, yeah?

Yeah, righto, but you didn't understand what was going on when he started. There wouldn't be anything to shudder about without him.

Only thing that matters is that he's ours now. And it's not like we didn't realise this may happen. If we hope to get anything out of our "investment" then we need to stand by him and support him. He seems like the sort of bloke who could really go off the rails if he's left to his own de...

Paddy McCartin will go to 11.

I reckon Chris Judd made a rod for every high draft picks back.

Well we all know what GT thought of "training services". If his attitude influenced how this part of the club was run/funded/supported, maybe he bears some responsibility for the shocking injury run anyway. So we can still blame him. I think GT had a frustration with the fitness regimes a...

Well that must be their Plan Mark II then, as Plan Mark I was to hire Malcolm Blight as coach. Definitely. I can only imagine their horror when they realised that MB wasn't working out. The financial investment, supporter excitement, positive media coverage.... all about to flushed to make what mus...

But let's be honest here. GT never deserved to coach the Saints and only got the job in an underhand way via a sham process that he was content to lie about till after the dust up with RB when it all came out. The whole RB & GT plan to resurrect the Saints was that GT became coach. No career co...

How much will moving back to Moorabbin improve our financial position? We were going broke when an AFL team played there.

Is that the one where Blakey went into the ruck and kicked a couple of goals?

Genuine question. How much time does Hodge actually spend in the midfield?

I know the whole field is the midfield nowadays, but centre bounce midfield.

Righto. Is there some system you can employ that will let us idiots know when you are lying?

ripplug66 wrote:I passionate Saints supporter who has done more for the club than I will guess you ever done

I reckon by the number of times you've mentioned your service to St Kilda (Is it having young players stay at your house?) the you have probably got more out of it than anyone else.

Seriously Con I thought you may get a joke especially as I said he has a drink but not much at all. Starting a fight. No. Starting a fight is having a go at someone for dare picking a player you have seen and who also happens to play at Sandy and having a go at that person. Especially when you now ...

He keeps working hard when things aren't going his way so I reckon he'll be alright there.

Love the message.

Would still shoot the messenger.

This whole story came about because BJ was asked about Chapman's comments about him not being able to handle pressure.
So, BJ deflected and talked about the easy target of the week - Jake Carlisle.
Tells you all you need to know about him.

Have just been cheering myself up with this:

He got the boot. RL liked blokes who could 'spread' like Peake.

Well, if he's worth one point to a footy match then he would have been exactly what we needed in 2010.
