Fortunately the ump combo like us more than tigers...not too many combos that roll well for us but most roll for dogs

Far out sd I'm more interested in why the dogs are favoured...could you do stats for them?

I recall Tony Shaw as coach remarked that all the coaches knew dogs were favoured by umps

The big question though is how does this fit into the AFL backed umpiring conspiracy against St Kilda??? Easy target. Have no voice in the media to say anything. Collingwood get a raw deal The Herald Sun will run a week worth of stories about it. We get reamed its just dismissed as its only StKilda...

AFL Rulebook said: Other than the Prohibited Contact identified under Law 15.4.5, a Player may make contact with another Player: (a) by using his or her hip, shoulder, chest, arms or open hands provided that the football is no more than 5 metres away from the Player; (b) by pushing the other Player ...

Dud, just a question on a rule - When I played it was illegal to push someone in the side chest etc if the ball was more than 5 metres away. Is this still so or have they amended the interpretation?

We can't continually change our coach, replacement usually unsuccessful When was the last a grade player taken in the draft by saints

King has to lead to break up the pack hanging off him and open up our forward half. Came as an average kick and more than likely will forever be unreliable kick

Where to from here?
We just don't have enough a-grade players and you won't find them with the way we have recruited.

SANDRINGHAM 8.13 (61)
PORT MELBOURNE 10.5 (65)

Who won?

Good to see a dominant gellie on these highlights also

As they say in the classics...let the audience judge.

what a lowlife you are...must be a pleasure to live/work with

Another ridiculous 50 for a Carlton goal. Pisstake and the umpire in the centre of it loves it. Curly. FFS. Its a practice match and your spamming the thread with umpiring dross. God man.....it's tedious. So are you. Get off his f****** back. He has as much right to comment as you do. :roll: :roll:...

Thanks much appreciated

Saw him train today

Tell us more BM
Was there anyone else that impressed?

P66 ridiculed my grand-daughter for her thread. She was younger than 10 and was becoming starstruck with st kilda and just finding her feet with this site.
She was devastated with the negative abuse from p66 she never posted here again

FFS you're so childish Vortex...f..off and pull your dik on another site

Saints once wanted Goodwin as assistant coach but he turned them down, indicating he did not want to go to a bottom club. Always wanted a powerful rich club but when a senior coach offer from a big club did not materialize he went to Melbourne.
Cannot stand him.

Top Ten in the B&F 7 years in a row

Won 2 … runner up once

Yep 5/10

BM, when avail would you expect ross to be an auto selection this year?

We have the sixth hardest draw calculated by where clubs finished last year..this does not take into account interstate trips playing at Geelong etc

The AFL can go fk themselves

8 games in enemy territory 5 home games against interstate sides. Not a good financial draw and 8 games against enemy territory is only one less travel than interstate teams AFL is a joke if they do not compensate and if they do not, than the fix(ture) has to be even unless they want many of the tea...

Depends who the player played for and if the tribunal looked for reasons to clear him as per player/team

That’s one opinion- from a nobody Billings is still top 10 IMO Some of those rankings - absurd Stop deluding yourself Billing’s is NOT top 10 Shopped himself around last trade period and got a reality check Good honest player to very good “on his day” Most games unnoticed He ain’t no Bont ffs Billi...

Drafting was a less exact science in those days. I’m just wondering was Frost delisted? And then we thought he was worth our first draft pick? Yep, I think 56 players were on the list back then..so Frost not considered good enough for a list of 56 at dogs but was taken with our first pick in the na...

He'd go ok if umps allowed him to pull arm and take his opponent under the ball like many other players are allowed eg Demons FB
