Is a complex one. Firstly, with the game now the way it is, having a key forward can be, as Alistair Clarkson said this week, a liability. Why? It is so easy to just double-team a forward out of the contest, like they do with Roo every week - particularly when the ball is moved forward as slowly as ...

It was Tippett....not Rutten, unless you are talking about a different incident. 150m behind the play, in Adelaides forwadline? Rutten down the other end of the ground.

Woeful.

I thought Armo was fantastic tonight - the only shining light in a very dark evening.

Congratulations to the young fella - maybe we are starting to seeing the making of a footballer, and a hard one at that.

Sad to say, but IMO we won't get close to making the 8. Very sad to admit it. With upcoming games against Carlton, Hawthorn, Melbourne (a chance), Freo at Freo, Collingwood, the Western Bulldogs and Geelong....that will just about end the season. Not being negative, just realistic. We will struggle ...

I feel your pain SainterDad. My parents are in their 70s and are expressing the same sentiments...and my 7 y.o son is getting down about the footy now too! No doubt about it, we are in for a few crap years but somehow, sometime we'll get back up there and have another crack - not with this bunch of ...

Firstly let me say I think Dawson has been very good down back this year, following on from last season. He is very solid on the spoil and is rarely beaten in a one on one contest, somewhat surprsingly. However, I agree that his physical presence in terms of tackling and crunching opposition forward...

Heard Ross on the radio before the game - apparently Cripps was pencilled in from 3 weeks ago but got a bit of the flu during the week, so was left out.

From that you would think he will definitely play next week, which is one positive.

I too think it's a bit harsh on Gamble after one match, although he didin't show a great deal. Blake is very solid down back - and that comes from a perennial Blake abuser! He was played in the wrong position, all night. Why? Who knows. I would've though he matched up perfectly on dud Hawkins, leavi...

Couldn't agree more BackfromUSA. I actually laughed while reading this article - the complete and utter belief of everything 'that woman' has said was hiliarious. I am still waiting to see any proof that she was pregnant at all - at the very least they are 'claims' without any proof, surely? 'That w...

Playing the devil's advocta here - but if this were another teams' misdemeanours and someone put up the line "Do you really think Roo and Lenny, Roo etc are the problem" then we would probably come down on them like this. 1. Whilst it wasn't his fault at all, Roo (the Captain) was caught i...

Totally agree. Am starting to get a little sick of having to justify poor behaviour again and again. We really are the laughing stock of the league, and it's no wonder. Yes, before anyone says it, of course I will stick with the boys and support them now more than ever blah, blah, blah. As a support...

There they go again...pathetic.

Vote with your cash, please. Don't buy this rubbish.

"You sound like a sook who has had his bat and ball taken from him".....what the?????? Very strange, sad man Plugger. No sadness here, but your posts always seem to give me a laugh - usually when that is not the intent! You are spot on Leo - anyone but those whose sole purpose in coming on...

You are such a sad person Plugger, I really feel sorry for you. Keep buying the trash, I couldn't care less - just take note during the year of how many times you sit there shaking your head and commenting on what a load of crap the stories are. There is a massive difference between a supposedly-unb...

The only way to treat these scumbags is to vote with your money. Just don't buy the crap - the HS has become this century's version of 'The Truth', only without the page 3 girl. Their treatment of St Kilda is reason enough to not buy it - it may only be a small thing, but if every St Kilda supporter...

Couldn't agree more Barks - a storm in a D cup.....

I agree Plugger.

Show's even more what a toss he is.

"Stuff it let's play someone else's footy"....

Nice one. That's absolute gold. Needed a laugh and got one.

What was he thinking? Surely his position at the Club would be jeopardy - to do that to the Captain, a man who prides himself on his professionalism, is beyond belief. The taking of the pic itself is no big deal - on a footy trip, far worse would be done. But to keep it on his computer - what the he...

Welcome Solar. First things first, moving down here get ready to hear very little AFL news that doesn't involve Geelong. Understandable to a point of course, given it is the only one-team town in Victoria, but even so, it grates on you after a little while. I find that the Geelong supporters have a ...

I agree completely Undecided.

Schneider would've been looking to make up for last year - instead the demons came back and bit him harder.

Articles like this, jumping on a losing GF team, always make me laugh. While he has a point about of lack of class, I would like to know who he thinks is going to take it up to Collingwood next year and make the GF instead of St Kilda? In a year that was full of nightmare after nightmare, this team ...

Our best defender by an absolute street.

Completely agree with the tunnelling - was a distinct ploy that was not once picked up by the umps, particularly when they targetted Goddard, who faced it 3 or 4 times.

Disgraceful act that needs to be taken out of the game.
