If we knew the REASON why we were picked on we might be able to do something about it....that is precisely the point.

Baker the only player in history suspended for ATTEMPTING to strike. Fraser Gehrig went for a stomach love tap that was laughable. Holy crap, Stewie Loewe got suspended (I think) for shaking the goalpost! Any crap they can come up with they do - I use to only half believe that this club as a whole w...

That was exactly what Ross was saying Bernard - did you have the teletext on your TV at the time?

Sometimes it gets lost in translation....

Blake might get a week, although his arm and leg both went out in the same direction to tackle, which I think may help him out somewhat, rather than a leg just stuck out in a deliberate tripping motion. I thought the Gilbert tackle was....well, almost perfect. The outlawing of a spear tackle is beca...

Thought he was awesome last night, and has been very good all year. Excellent decision-making, great overhead, has a good deal of pace and uses the ball well. General consensus seems to be he struggles a bit on Finals - let's hope he continues with this form through September and lays that one to re...

Love these type of articles on the Pies - they come out around this time every year, as the Pies "fly" against crap opposition.

Keep blowing them up...just makes the POP even louder in September!

And again we assume the position....bent over, hands grasping our ankles.

Some things never change...

I was referring to the lack of support in the media by our football club - the heirachy in particular.

NOT the media itself, which I agree has, in the majority, been at least fair in their airing of both sides of the argument.

I agree BigMart...the lack of vocal, staunch support for Bakes in the media is (sigh) again disappointing. Whether they thought he could get off or not, do NOT leave your player hanging out to dry. At least show your support for him in the court of public opinion if nowhere else. I for one am very d...

I see in the report on tonights hearing they say the tribunal labelled Baker's actions as "unmanly".

WTF is that? Again (not unsurprisingly), I have never heard a judicial body associated with the AFL label a player in a manner such as that.

What a bloody disgrace.

Couldn't agree more Solar.

Stick with it this year - if for no toher reason that to STICK IT UP EVERYONE when the boys win it.

That will make it all worthwhile. Then the AFL can go and get farked.

Great article - articulated the entire situation perfectly.

The biggest maistake in this thread is that you were actually listening to KB.

The man is a senile, brain-dead fool who cannot stop the drivel that comes out of his pathetic little mouth. Hates St Kilda and always has.

Ignore that imbecile.

Couldn't agree more Tracey.

My sentiments exactly.

What do I expect them to do? Just accpet it....yeah...just like we always have, bend over and take it like usual. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I couldn't give a stuff how long or how expensive it is - fight it as far and as high as we can. And before anyone craps on about "de-railing" the club - are ...

I agree Solar.

This game has become a joke. The AFL can go get rooted.

This is an absolute f@#king disgrace - the worst in a HUGE list of terrible and blatantly unfair decisions that have been unjustly perpertrated against our club. This MUST be taken further or I for one will lose complete faith in the club and everything that they tell us they stand for. It is time f...

Exactly. I believe said player even engages in a little talk on the radio down here in sleepy hollow? Not to mention the cloud that hangs over their (and arguably the games) greatest ever player....I remind any of the idiots of that fact whenever the Milne abuse gets too much. Kinda shuts them up a ...

Nice comment - couldn't agree more. It's arrogant displays like that one that can fire up opposition teams - not that they should need any more motivation, but sometimes silly actions like that can be very, very costly. Hopefully it can be played back to him after we win the Cup in September - see h...

Here here. BOG for mine too. Great stuff Jimmy.

Don't really think this was a case of Dal "pulling out" - just thought he misjudged where he was in relation to Ling. It did look a bit ordinary though, but that happens sometimes. I thought he more than made up for that in the 2nd quarter (I think) when he trooted back with the flight of ...

Or maybe McEvoy - he's a little bit more mobile than McEboy. Hehe.

Whilst King provides size, presence and a bit of a contest, the most annoying thing with him is that he seems to give away SO MANY free-kicks unneccessarily. He needs to get this fact into his head - we have a GUN midfield who are more than capable of roving to the opposition ruckman. If you are out...

As was mentioned the other day in another thread, the mind-boggling and blatant double-standards when it comes to St Kilda and the tribunal (as offenders or victims) continues.

What a joke.

Thought Joey Montagna deserves a special mention after his last quarter last night. Yes, the usual suspects like Hayes, Fisher and Gilbert really stood up in that final term, but in watching the replay the attack on the footy and determination to get the team over the line displayed by Joey was supe...
