Young reporter cleared up the misinformation spread by that turd, Barrett.

Said he spoke to the Frankston coach who informed him that his club never tagged more than one opposition player and the player that they considered the most dangerous and therefore the one they tagged with Armo.

A credit to Armo that he still got 40 pdd possessions.

Barrett really is an arsehole.

Bump. In the best. Great game.

In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and the St Kilda FC

Yes, Armo showed that he is still a required player.

Easily in our best 22 at the moment

I'd like to think you're right but recent history has showed that Armo's body is starting to fail him and whilst he's excellent first-up (and again on Sat against GCS) - it's the next game that sees him drop off. I hope he's fit and injury free because on any day - I'd take half an Armo over 2 each of Ross and Dunstan

Maybe I was watching a different game?
But I thought that Armo was terrible in the first half - continually coughing up the ball with 'hurried' disposal.
I thought similarly with Ross, only he got it more.
Interestingly in the last quarter I thought they took Ross out of the middle and both he and Armo became much more influential on the game.
Maybe I'm looking at the game differently to others?

Be fair to say that Billings left foot & hand would be sore with 80 "touches"in the past 2 weeks

I was at the game but will look at the replay to see if I agree with you.

I wonder if your nephew (if he really is your nephew?) is aware of some of the comments you post about players/staff at his football club?
Some readers might get the impression that you are reflecting his thoughts.
I hope that is not the case.

And yes, I may have NFI about football.

I watched the replay and think Armo was among our better players for atleast 3 of the 4 qtrs. I like the way he directs traffic around stoppages and his leadership.
I dont know how well his body will hold up but suspect if hes managed and doesnt try and play every round, he is in our best 22
