Re: Has there ever been a more repulsive trend than posting smarta**e hate pieces about our own players?

Teflon changes his mind depending on the circumstances and of course...depending on who the coach likes Two years ago he wanted Webster out. He wanted Membrey to retire. Bagged him endlessly for having poor accuracy for a while ( as if he's on his own in that department) and...I probably saw 100 po...

Re: Had there ever been a more reviled player than Gresham?

I think Raphael Clarke was considered worse Yeah, I heard a lot of the crap directed to him at the footy including some racist slurs from one individual. i still regret not reporting him.

Re: Reality

What didn't change was the lock Steele, Crouch, Ross, and Marshall have had on stoppages. I'd be expecting some change in that department. I expect Marshall Crouch Steele and Clark to start in the centre against Richmond... I expect Sinclair to go in at stages to replace Clark, Crouch or Steele, as...

Re: Hawks game V Carlton game planning

There's a difference between believing everything Lyon says and actually watching the game for yourself I suggest you try doing the latter sometimes Based on some of your posts, assuming you watch games live, do you watch them with full concentration, or with one eye on the player heat map expansion?

Re: Supporters need perspective

Steele isn’t a creative mid - he’s not Petracca Bont or Cripps… he’s more Crouch …this game style should suit his second to the footy tackle style Has Brad Crouch polled more votes than Bont, Oliver, Cripps and Perracca in the Brownlow? https://www.saints.com.au/news/828310/steele-earns-podium-fini...

Re: Zak Jones season over

Who's excited? Just saying not "broken". Hope he can have a solid end to the season, good pre season and be over his injury concerns. We need a more polish with disposal, and a fit Billings will help considerably. On the other hand, if he doesn't finish well, may be at another club next y...

Wrong. Lyon was offered a new deal by St Kilda in 2011 (as was promised to him and his management)....but he was already contracted up until 2012. Hinkley is not contracted beyond this year. His management agreed in good faith that Ross would commit to St Kilda beyond 2012, but Ross ditched them an...

Think Gallagher wasn’t terrible but his imports haven’t been awesome either
I think Gallagher leaving was a big loss. Better than average strike rate for a list manager. Much prefer him to Silvagni.

Re: Steele Carrying Injured Knee

Makes sense why he hasn’t had prolific numbers. He’s been instrumental in some of our wins and played poorly (like many of his team mates) in some of our losses. People neglect the fact that he did an AC joint last year and fractured his clavicle this year as well as this current knee issue. I’m st...

And for the record as it hasn't been highlighted elsewhere, Buddy's second goal wasn't a goal at all. He kicked the ball when both his foot and the ball were behind or over the goal line. The commentators were too busy wanking over Buddy to notice. Sick making really. I called that as it happened. ...

Hotton will only have to be a middle of the road midfielder, who turns up consistently to be a better player than Billings in my opinion.
