I rarely turn the radio off either but did before the final siren. Schwarz has always p'd me off big time. He is a neanderthal of the highest order. Never offers anything informing that hasn't been said by someone else beforehand. Hates StKilda with a passion (that's o.k as I don't think much of him...
This hurts big time but in today's footy less than 100% will end up in a loss every time. Freo should have beaten Geelong earlier in the season. Essendon have beaten Collingwood easily today. Collingwood beat Geelong by 87 points !!!! Like to see them do that again. They call them upsets but in real...
Good work Armoooo ! I like option 12, followed by 13. Don't really like many of the others. After looking at many horrible clash jumpers from other clubs I'm convinced predominately white is bad. Option 12 retains some semblance of our traditional jumper. Ideally a clash jumper does this and solves ...
Barry, while I'd love to see us finish 4th it may be better finishing 5th. To meet the Cats in the first final wouldn't be any advantage over finishing 5th and playing 8th. I'd have to be realistic and say a win over the Cats in week one would be unlikely. Then we've lost our top 4 advantage and a d...
We really looked dangerous in the second half against the Hawks. Where do you all see we can lift further ? I think Kosi has a plenty of improvement left on his current form. He's playing around 30% of his 2004 form I think. Gilbert hasn't got back to anywhere near his best. There's lots to be gaine...
Must be coming with the raffle ticket book. I was emailed by Archie Fraser about the tickets coming in the next week by mail.
Members would have received this email this morning.
I've just watched the replay today as we went to the game. I think Blighty's outburst was inappropriate in that forum. If he feels aggrieved he should have vented at Butterss directly. That rant doesn't do the Club any favours and none there now have any link to what happened then. It is unfair of h...
I'm prepared to be howled down but just for this game C. Gardiner could be the choice. Reasons being.. The vast expanse of Subi requires us to have fast players with a decent engine. Not slower players such as MG. Glass is out which means their height in defense is comprimised and we can get away wi...
It could have been Gilbo spoiling and not Max. :oops: It was as a very soft (read incorrect) decision either way. I'm waiting for my son to render the HD TV recording of the game to dvd to watch it up close. The free Nick got was at the Lockett end after a marking contest in which I could see absolu...
It really P'd me off. Especially when we were under the pump. It equated to hundreds of metres by game end. It's obviously one of the tactics they focus on to gain advantage before the umpires wake up one week and they are pinged. I reckon the Hawks concentrate on "semi-legal " tactics for...
A few things had me confused about the umpiring on Saturday night. Did anyone else notice how the Hawks CONTINUALLY crept 3 metres on the mark after each mark ? I reckon this happened 90% of the time and the umpires were oblivious to it. Possibly the most frustrating decisions to accept was the lame...
For me he will have earned his place when he tears the Sydney Syndicate a new one in the finals and puts them out of the race as he did to us. I will get great satisfaction out of reminding the Sydney Syndicate Supporters of this as they do us :lol: Until then being a part of a consistant StKilda si...
He didn't commit to either playing on or retiring. He said as much. Also that he is enjoying his football. So are we !! He should go on. We don't have a ready made replacement for Max. It was a great atmosphere in the victory room last night. The players all spoke well. I can't say I've met a StKild...
I think our supporters were fantastic tonight. Can't say the same for the Hawks fans though. We were still cheering them on when we were down in the first half. They went deathly quiet in the second half. It was the best game I've been to since the game at Kardinia Park where Hocking ironed out Harv...
I haven't seen Blight's review of our Club yet. I'm sort of eager but I really don't need to. As it will only reinforce my opinion of him. He is mad. Completely mad. Should be out on the boat with Jack Nicholson worrying about putting a hook in a pilchard. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest for sure. L...
I thought Archie was very diplomatic in his summary. Bordering on a little too diplomatic. But that's obviously to diffuse the current media attention on the issue. To be truthful I'd find it hard to believe he'd be welcome with open arms in the near future. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy our genuine...
I have always tried to imagine how proud Luke's parents must be of him. As a parent he seems to embody everything I could want from my son. (A lot more than I could deliver as well I might add). Intelligence,humility,dexterity and sheer application to a task. My son ticks items 1+2 and I'm working o...
Luke was easily the most intelligent on the Footy Show. Including Newman. Wasn't he, or isn't he doing a Law degree ? Great cricketer as well. Always well spoken and a credit to our club. I think Sam really wants us to knock off Hawthorn. He seemed to be really goading Luke by repeatedly saying &quo...
Plugger66 I can understand your question. It had me really thinking. You never asked to put Harvs ahead of a Cup. You asked whether a garaunteed Cup without Harvs or a GF with Harvs in it that we may win or lose was the choice. I reckon that's a tough a question but I'd go for a GF with Harvs and th...
Unfortunately I didn't see the game last night due to work but it has me wondering how far could we have gone in 2004/2005 with a ruckman like King feeding our mids of that era ? Could quite possibly given us that extra we needed ? He's not a big possession winner but a fantastic tap ruckman to adva...
I have been hesitant to repeat in detail what Robert told us last Saturday at his store when I asked him if there were just 1% chance he would play on. After seeing this on BTG I can say what he said tonight was exactly what he said last Saturday. He won't play on. Last Sat he said it was time the C...
Well I can tell you all categorically we MUST go for broke every chance we get. We have had too many years in the wilderness. Every finals appearance offers a glimmer of hope. We have THE ornament to the game playing for us in his twilight year and we owe it to him to be giving it everything. How ca...
