There's always footy played on a Friday.
There's always footy played on public holidays

Why would you not play on a Friday that is a public holiday?

Riewoldt plays significantly differently to those other players. It's difficult to give away frees when you are on the lead and ahead of your opponent every time.

No figures for Kosi and Milne?

Kosi 167 for 205 against
Milne 171 for 280 against

Obviously he was taken off because he was dominating the game and his opponent had done nothing.

And BTW free kick count is irrelevant. not when its lop sided in a game decided by less than a goal But it's not numbers of free kicks that matter, it's correct / incorrect decisions. If there should be 20 free kicks to Port and 10 frees to St Kilda and that's what the umpires pay, then you can't c...

Again I will say. We had 4 players with a combined experience of 47 games! Milera - 1 Cripps - 5 Stanley - 10 Steven - 31 How is that not a start on changing the guard? Do we want to really want to compromise the ability to win games by throwing in too many new kids at the one time? 2 more addition...

Umpiring was terrible. Started with a poor decision for holding the ball in the first minute against Geary 25m out from their goal. By the end of the quarter the exact same thing at the other end was no longer in the rule book. The first Polo 50 was extremely harsh. He reached out a hand and touched...

Lets hope that are actually sincere this time about an "appetite for change", they showed none of that at the selection table for Round 1 How many games have Steven, Stanley, Milera and Cripps played again? What do expect a GWS type line out? It was the oldest Round 1 team we've put out i...

I have posted this on a number of occasions before, that I believe Ben McEvoy is the worst tap ruckman in the competition. I have just watched the replay of the Port game..... I've just read your post again and it is officially the worst post ever. Why is it when we offer constructive criticism of ...

I may be old fashioned, but I still believe in going out to win every game. I know it doesn't always turn out that way! The average age of the side has come down from recent seasons with the inclusion of the newer boys, and I'm patient enough not to expect too much from them in a short time. Now is...

...If the league dictates that the Bombers have to wear a proper clash jumper, the Bombers need to change their constitution or get out of the AFL... Hi Kosi, when the issue came up a couple of years ago, neither of those two outcomes occured - because of Essndumb's constitution. That makes the con...

I'm not sure why the Bomber's constitution is relevant. If the league dictates that the Bombers have to wear a proper clash jumper, the Bombers need to change their constitution or get out of the AFL. We could change our constitution so that we had 22 players plus 10 subs for every game. Maybe that ...

Centre Half Sub

And done

Great idea SainterK.

But you'll have to take me through it step by step.

I do have a phone and a twitter account so you can start at step three

Thanks for sharing SainterK.

I love the Blake.

No doubt you are in on the joke but just for everyone else's benefit, Swans are not playing this week.

What about Blako?

Wilco would be in before Blako

I'll go with Armo, Crippo, Sippo, Polo. It just sounds good.

As a long term planner and forward thinker, I voted for Jimmy.

Well said. This should be in the banner.

If you're at the game and you have to ask people who's playing, their responses might be affected by their concern about your mental state.

I love St Kilda. I love the Saints. but I hate St Kilda Saints. And finally someone agrees. And it can come as an embarrassing revelation that saying a club's formal name and nickname together exposes you as a tourist. (So it's never ''Essendon Bombers'', but ''Essendon'' or ''Bombers''. An exceptio...

If David King says we're gone, I'm suddenly filled with confidence.

A heckler!
Watters has done nothing wrong.

What on earth was he heckling about.
And what is his nom de plume on Saintsational?

Did he mention the word "Nimbat"?
