Shane has previously identified himself a Collingwood man. Fair enough too. I'm only interested in him COMMERCIALLY adding value - if not go learn the ropes off fat Ed Deliver Shane. Yep, because being a Collingwood man he would: - have NO emotional attachment to a club that he spent 6 years of his...

If you finish low you get a higher draft pick. This witch hunt against Melbourne reeks of hypocrisy from the league, whose rules actively encourage tanking. That's like saying you shouldn't punish drug cheats because the rewards for winning are too tempting, spare me. At the end of the day they are...

Who were those players taken from us in 2000 and 2001 who shone once they let us? Funny I thought Hall could play before he left us. As could the Wakelins who are also mentioned. Who are the young guys who once they left us in those years who really improved because of us being a poor club back the...

I won't boo him, but I will have a chuckle when he messes anything up.

What can I say, I'm a vindictive man

Gold!!

His first game for us might not change that!!!

so NAB- Round Robin over 2 weeks Rd 1 - over 2 weeks- But we're not one of the leaks yet Rd 2 Rd 3 - GWS in Canberra first night game at Manuka Rd 4- Essendon- ours or theirs?

Back before the '02 draft there were a lot of comparisons between Salopek and Goddard and it looked like we would get one or the other. It would be ironic if we picked up Salopek and gave him number 18. You wonder if we didn't get Goddard gift wrapped (in brown paper) by the Bluebaggers whether we ...

43 for Ablett, more than enough.

... How can you possibly not know what compensation you're getting for a player you are bargaining for??? It could be the defining factor in your decision to match an offer??... The only reason I can think of, and this is far-fetched, but still possible ... Tragic Joke decides to move to Somalia to...

Ball was hopeless too..... Went onto premiership As was Lyon, Everitt, Lappin, Smith, Hall, Guerra.... All average... All were outstanding at their NEW clubs And the thing is, it's not just that we lose an A Grader ..... A competitor gains one.... Plugger.... 43 games, 1100 disposals, 25 goals, 150...

I will wish all the best. If I remember correctly he grew up a St Kilda supporter, so he must be some kind of decent bloke. Will be sad to see him go, but football is a hard game, if he isn't to get a game with us, I sincerely hope he finds one somewhere else. It will definitely be interesting next ...

My rational self sees it's a no brainer for Goddard, more money over a longer period of time.

This side also sees how it was an easy decision for the saints to make.

My one eyed St Kilda supporter self sees him as a traitor and feel sick that Essendon have poached one of ours for nothing

He is not worth anywhere near that amount. Good luck to him at Essendon but that's just stupid money, unless he's an absolute superstar - which he is not. Agreed, all of this is based on his fame from the mark in the 2010 Grand Final. It cannot be based on his performance for season 2012. Alll I'll...

I will be! Just heard Pelchen speak and I'm even more concerned. Hoping Scott sounds more confident. Pelchen doesn't even know what the compensation is, will be assessed after we've made our moves. Said they may even take that into account in regards to if we even make any moves. I think you're sou...

Just heard Pelchen talk on AFL radio saying we don't even know what our compensation is until we've done all our deals in the coming weeks. Fantastic. Sounds like we are utterly unprepared. Ofcourse they have no idea, they don't know if they will sign a free agent from another club. If this is to h...

Move, don't move, just get it over with already.

I was at the game last night, so I didn't hear last night's call but I dislike Dwaye Russell's commentary, him and Brian Taylor s*&t me no end.

No doubt my biased view of things plays a part in my view that commentators are biased against us but I do honestly believe Dwayne Russell dislikes us.

It was definitely odd.

The idea that you can have taken your advantage without having taken possession of the ball defies logic.

Hasn't anyone else found another part of that article somewhat disturbing? The comment referring to next premiership "might be three to five years" away. I know he doesn't rule out anything but isn't that a bit defeatist? Or is he just a realist? Anyway I'm happy with the choice if Watter...

I think the GWS/GC expansion has detracted from the game in it's heartland, taking an entire cohort of quality young players out of reach of the perenially struggling clubs. The AFL might end up gaining a few hundred new fans in Sydney at the risk of losing tens of thousands of fans in Melbourne to...

I have us finishing about 6th or 7th, but once you're in the finals, anything can happen . I hate that line, people say that every year, but it is quite obvious that the finals are designed for the 1 of the top 3 to win So anything but a top 4 finish will make it very hard to win the premiership So...

The first game I ever went to was in the 90's, 1991 against the Bears at the Gabba. What not to love, the Saints got a bigger cheer running onto the ground than the bears got, Plugger kicked 10, the Saints got up by 50 odd points. Two games against the Bulldogs at Waverley stick out. 1998 Rd 15 or 1...

should give the nab cup away and have longer season I'm sort of coming to the same belief. I know the club's have spent a good part of the last decade or so making a mockery of the NAB Cup, I still felt it was a worthwhile exercise until the AFL started to make a mockery of it, like they have the l...

Daniel Wulf, I really wish I had kicked that goal against Sydney!!!

Im not going to get into your semantic word games, but betting in cricket has turned the game into a joke. I havent even broached the the problem with gambling corruption in soccer. goal score betting has already happened, (so it does happen) in australia which is why I pointed out the NRL, with su...
