It was on Ten news.

Re Baker-like tagging, said there was no room in the game for scragging and sniping. Said it was from a different era. I'm sorry? Did his team not scrag and snipe Barry Hall just weeks ago? Was the man himself not one of the game's biggest thugs? Did he not hurl Lenny Hayes into a fence? And purpose...

Sorry -- my post above is about Brad Scott -- mistakenly put it in this thread.

Bewildering comment from a complete oxgen thief.

The AFL should fine the tribunal for throwing the code into disrepute.

Two days ago I started the "Eight Weeks for Bakes" thread. It was supposed to be a joke.

Even going on the precedents, I thought eight weeks was at the far side of absurd.

Breathtaking.

Just going on the existing precedents: 2003: Flat on his back in the centre of the ground, Baker has his foot stood on by Essendon ruckman Steve Alessio. To dislodge Alessio, Baker gives him a harmless kick in the ankle. Result: 3 weeks suspension. Even Mike Sheahan said it was the most absured pena...

From the reports anybody would think that the police force was staffed entirely by St Kilda supporters. I dearly wish that were true, but logically the percentage would be under 10%. So that means that there's actually 90% of the force that would love to see charges laid , and St Kilda's season dera...

The Herald Sun. I tried using it as toilet paper once but my ar$e rejected it.

Milne Round 5 versus Franklin Round 13. Forget about the quality of the actual goals -- a packed MCG Friday night game will beat a rainy, poorly attended Port Adelaide match in the buzz-stakes. Plus Buddy is more fashionable than the Tiprat. Sadly, I think Milne will miss out yet again ... and to th...

Mal Brown doesn't think. Thinking is a subversive, socialist theory to such types.

You forgot to mention the way the team was relentlessly pilloried for its game style a few weeks ago. One would have thoughts we were terrorists bent on the destruction of the game.

We overcame that negativity as well.

The Age is a St Kilda sponsor, don't you know. And News Ltd in general feels no shame about hunting down people/companies/political parties "to teach them a lesson".

Isn't there a Didak DVD featuring his every goal or something?

I'd love to see a package of Milne's jawdropping goals -- must be about 70 of them by now.

Heard a fan calling him "Power Drill" on Friday night ... presumably after the Stanley tool.

Yeah, my favourite player, too.

Great skills -- not something the Saints have an overabundance of.

Might be an outrider but his skills are too valuable to put him at the bottom of packs. Rarely gets injured.

If those are the rules, then those are the rules. But I don't like the rules. I'm confident most supporters don't like the rules. The current obsession with clash strips is unnecessary.

I'm no apologist for Collingwood, but they have both a predominately white and predominately black strip. When we are the home team they wear the white one, and there's no clash at all. When they are the home team we wear our white based strip, and again no clash. No problem there that I can see. N...

Can't agree. I'm in no way excusing Essendon or Collingwood, but I thought the Adelaide clash guernsey was hideous ... as are most predominantly-white jumpers. Would much have preferred to see them flashing about in their traditional colours -- when they play the Saints the so-called "clash&quo...

MIlne's problems this year began when the umpiring department released a dvd explaining their new policy re staging. And Milne was one of the players selected to showcase "staging" events in the past. But why select current players? Why not use footage of retired players? Surely they reali...

The Hun. Getting lower every day.

What about Ben McEvoy and Michael Rennie?

Klaatu barada nikto!

Posted at 6.47pm, probably written early in the third quarter... what, when we were 17 pts down?

LOL.

I expect him to lay a tackle in the forward 50. And since we're the last-ranked team in that category this year, that's gotta be an improvement.
