Not very sure of the board, hopefully they can show some strength and reorganise but Banger get around the players and the players should get around him. Not sure if he will be a great coach yet but atleast as a figure head to keep everyone focused...I can't think of anyone better.

MM coming across to us would lose 10,000 - 15,000 members. Do you seriously think this board would entertain it if he was up for it?

Then again...we are talking about a St Kilda board here so...

Front row on the couch in a 5 star hotel.

I am hosting a bucks party Sat night and am shattered I won't be there. Asked the buck if he would miss me for 3 hours between 7 and 10 but he said I would miss the entertainment at 9, d'oh...at least there is a silver lining!

I'm not saying Dal will win it but what helps him is that he has clearly been our best midfielder (player overall) where as Judd will have votes taken off him by Murphy and Gibbs potentially. Also Dal might sneak a vote or two in the close ones we lost: Round 1 v Geelong - 30 touches Round 6 v Adela...

Ah schweppes, I read CL as 'Clangers' not 'Clearances' my bad. Makes Judds overall rating look better however I think statistically there is no too much between them. I wonder which one talks back to the umpires more as Frees against is in Dals favour.

More marks as well.

I was just browsing over the stats on the AFL website and was looking at the top 10 for overall possesions. Judd is 8th and Dal is 10th. Here are there breakdowns side by side: Player K H D M HO CL FF FA T G B Ga Chris Judd 269 304 573 61 0 143 29 27 134 13 15 21 Nick Dal Santo 308 254 562 72 25 107...

Umpiring should not be influenced by any momentum swings full stop. If the umpire gets caught up in the moment and gives a free kick because he thinks it is "deserved" then he should be given a 4 week spell. We will never know that cos they won't tell but last night was pretty bad umpiring...

I don't hate Raph but if you want to pump him up and accept mediocrity in our team then good luck to you. He has not yet rewarded this club for the opportunities he has received so far and I hope he does but we should demand more, far more. Otherwise we shall just have to be satisfied with second be...

He is still not there yet. Not sure if he will ever get there. I'll give him kudos for blind courage and plugging a gap but still falls to pieces when the pressure is on. No one to replace him with at the moment.

I have critisized Kosi quiet regularly the past few years but tonight he made me eat my own hat. He was outstanding and apart from those misses, could have been close to best on ground tonight. On another note, is Ben possibly carrying and injury or am I expecting too much of him at this end of the ...

Wheeew!

...absolutely crucial tonight with the Swans getting up. If we get in a position to win the game we must put our foot down on the pedal and get as big a margin as possible to avoid an interstate trip. Getting in front by a goal or 2 and protecting a flimsy lead would be unforgivable tonight! Please ...

Saw him play in the nab cup this year (2 games?). Looked alright then but geez it must be torture for him to get a taste and then have to slog it out in the magoos for [b]another[/b] year! Methinks that Ross doesn't have any adventure at all at the moment and the excuse that finals are around the co...

Goddamn, apathetic!

Sorry, I meant aphathetic in my last post.

Westaway is saying that the biggest revenue issues at the moment are gate receipts, stadium deals and probably memberships (even though he didn't mention it explicitly). Question: Why is football popular and what makes a person barrack and then fork out money to become a member of a club? Answer (im...

It was the loudest roar I have ever heard at a football game when he kicked that goal. It was an absolute beauty and a huge turning point. It sent shivers down my spine. Unfortunately the mark that Maxwell took over Gilbert in the last also was a game changer and ensured that the GF was a draw in th...

Hahaha! What a thread segway!

Maybe we should encourage more Luke Ball threads!

Agreed, most of the second half by imo 5 minutes across 2 quarters doesn't really count. Who was on Chappy for most of that game btw?

Also, thirded on the avatar. Not sure if that can be topped!

I think the reason it is such a poor point with people is that deep down we realise that not playing him for the second half of GF 2009 cost us the premiership. Geelong kept going through Raph Clarke (cos they knew he was the weak link) in the last qtr and did us over. Regardless of pay, Luke would ...

You guys have got to be kidding, ie: Win games and the ladder will take care of itself. Of course it will if you think like that, we will win the same amount as Sydney and finish below them and play an interstate final against them in Sydney...brilliant. Percentage must become a factor that Ross nee...

1. Victory room used to be a lot better. Constant noise from the announcer (can't remember his name off top of my head) is a turn off as it is non stop. I know that he is a saints man through and through but they need to break it up a bit so it's not a constant assault on the ears. 2. Also, ever sin...

As much as I think David King is a spanker head (not sure about McClure, don't listen to him much) there is def an element of truth to his comments in the wider football community. However, I don't think it is boring footy but goddamn it is frustrating!! This year it is perfectly understandable why ...
