Don't get too excited folks. This is Ken Sheldon handling it, remember.
I suppose he'll fax a list of just about every player in our top twenty and tell the Eagles to choose whatever they want.
Dream on, Kenny. It's not going to happen.

The fitness of the players in recent years has had more to do with the previous coach (who was football manager also) than the board. Since the previous coach's departure, they have poured more money into the football department. Remember, important funds were diverted into very expensive end of sea...

Yep, all interesting points Meher and Kaos. It's what makes the thing so confusing in some respects. Outside of the debt clearance, I suppose the pertinent questions are: Why is our revenue so poor? Why has there been such a mess regarding the Mooorabbin re-development plans? Why appoint Ken Sheldon...

With such a history of poor financial management, it was important for the current board to clear the debt. I'm not saying they've performed perfectly in all facets of the club, but unless the debt was cleared, we faced treading water in any case. The current board needs to provide a clear plan to m...

How Rod can get my vote
1. Employ a new football manager, with Ross Lyon fully consulted in the selection process (ie Sheldon goes) 2. Provide assurances that the recruiting budget be tripled and steps put in place to have a topline network of recruiters employed across the land 3. Provide us with a realistic and achievabl...

A girl I work with lives with her partner, who is a presenter on Sport 927.

Mooksy, Watts has played one senior game, then been sidelined for 14 months with a broken ankle (with complications). Remember, Gilbert played one or two games in 2006, but after being given a chance this year has blossomed. At least see him play in the seniors a few times when he's 100% fit before ...

Sounds like Thommo is trying to get back some of that money he had to pay back to Butterss. I suppose he's got 8 kids to put through private schools, so he'll need every bit of it. Just another stinking episode in the St Kilda annus horribilus. Didn't Alves try to sue the club after he got sacked? G...

Right on, Animal Enclosure. I got sick to death of hearing Thompson whining on about our priority picks (two in 20 years of the draft), and about the fact that they had to develop their list with first round picks between numbers 7 and 12. Boo bloody hoo. The fact is that they got the following play...

Just a little bit of over-confidence early in the year, I would suspect. If he's a smart kid, he'll now realise the amount of work that's ahead of him. He'll need a huge pre-season, as will many others, but he did show something in the pre-season practise matches by all reports. Let's hope he become...

Add four or five teenagers to that list and the average age drops even further. If Harvey, Hudghton, and Hamill retire at the end of next season, and Rix gets the chop, and you add another five teenagers, then in 2009 the average age will not go up from 23, with our core group still in their prime (...

Any room for Van Rheenen on the senior list, or should we wait a bit longer and put him on the list if and when we need him to play seniors? I really hope this guy makes the grade. He's a huge guy - a genuine monster in the size of Darren Jolly and Steven King. If I was in the saints coaching panel,...
