Well I object to the word irrelevant in that context. If St Kilda is irrelevant then so are we the supporters and members. You cannot separate the two. You may well object but it doesn't make it wrong. In the eyes of the AFL and the majority of football followers we are irrelevant and will remain s...

Suggesting Max was told to let Zerk-Thatcher humiliate him is a bit much for even you two ideologues, isn't it? Yes, because of course he plays differently every other week doesn't he. Every other game he dominates his opponent by leading into space constantly and never tries to play like a stay at...

The issue I have is I wonder if he is playing how he is being told to? Is he being told to stay within the 50 m arc and be there to contest. He is doing that constantly and is ineffective at it as he just physically not the gorilla forward type. I find it hard to believe that he is being instructed ...

Term used was "unsettled ". 124 games. AA Leadership Group. Undisputed first ruck and best player in the Club. Performing very well. Multi year contract. Sure, that would be unsettling. Lot of tosh? Club sliding down the ladder. Looking very unlikely that we will be challenging within the...

Nearly half of the traded players are contracted - it's becoming a non issue.

True if a player really wants out the contract tends to be a non issue as the player will get their way.

We will be truly unwatchable this weekend.
In fact, I would go as far as to say I think we will be lucky to even bother the scorers.

My brother-in-law is an ex-South Melbourne supporter and now passionate Sydney Swans supporter as are his kids (adults now but you know what I mean) and he even converted my sister. Try telling him or the group he goes to the football with that his team no longer exist. The Swans was a relocation so...

It is hard to take the game on when you are coping an absolute flogging week in week out.
I have no idea if he is any good or not having not seen enough of him to comment.
However, Mason Wood was a player North didn't really want to keep and sometimes a change is all that is needed to flourish.

Ratten doesn’t have to be loyal to StK They sacked him under contract As far as he is concerned StK can get fkd I reckon Obviously. Brett can act as he chooses. I just don't appreciate it as a Saints supporter. Vindictive behaviour is unbecoming and toxic. By the way, Brett was well paid by us wasn...

A couple of people showing their age. Well I guess I am to by getting the reference and secretly humming it under my breath.

We are discussing the coaching masterclass of falling over the line against a side whose last win away from home was over 12 months ago. The masterclass was dragging a side who can't win away down to our level. The cult moves in mysterious ways. When we win it is all the coach yet when we lose it is...

You cannot just have a clear out and go to the draft needing 6 or 7 players. Then you end up with picks in the 70s and 80s who you have to give 2 year contracts to and whose chance of ever being good enough to become a regular AFL player is about 1 in 20. You can bring in a bunch of 26/27 year old c...

I doubt it is us as by Ross's own admission we train less than other clubs. We pay full-time wages for part-time footballers. Given the players only need to be at the club 16 hours a week they are allowed plenty of time for their own endeavours outside football, so why wouldn't they be happy.

Crouch has probably dared to question one of Ross's decisions which we know is enough to see you shown the door. Yes men only down at Moorabbin. Absolutely no selection integrity shown, form in the seconds not worth anything. I can only hope that the decision is to tank to improve our draft positio...

North will not trade for Battle, the only way they would go after him is as a free agent. The problem we have is that if Battle does go as a free agent and we receive fairly high compo for him we will be restricted in looking for Free Agents ourselves as it would water down the compo. If North want...

LDU is going to cost more than 1 first rounder and let's be realistic if he looks gettable he will end up at one of the bigger Melbourne clubs. Let's forget about trying to trade in a star midfielder, it will cost too much and we are just not desirable enough of a destination. We need to go to the d...

Down by 5 goals at quarter time. We stay in the competition through the second and third by WC kicking poorly. We kick junk time goals in the last quarter to lose by 11 points. WC have double the number of scoring shots we do and McGovern gets a lazy 35 possessions off half back. The CoR (Cult of Ro...

He doesn't say St Kilda should trade King, he says for the sake of his own career he should look to move to a club that will utilise his skills. Yes, it is an article designed to be controversial but it is not definitively wrong. King would look better in a team that was more attack focused. Ross's ...

He is not actually that far off the truth though is he. Mid table is the worse place to be and we have wallowed there for years. I suppose West Coast or Richmond could be further away but they have the advantage of being destination clubs for different reasons. North have an absolute arm load of top...

With the current collision and tackle rules Plugger would be playing one game in three. Unfortunately, the modern game has no room for players like Plugger. You would have to wonder if he would be as effective if he had to slim down to play the roving role that all forwards are expected to play.

I would imagine that Brunswicksainter and Yorkeys want it changed to "In Ross we Trust" or "Ross completes me" or some such.

Maybe Crouch and Clark have dared to question some of the bosses decisions. We all know where that will get them.

Lots of talk lately re our woes is it coaching ? Lack of talent? (probably bit of both is the beige reality) that said I thought N Buckley said it nicely this week on Fox when asked what the results might be if Fly swapped with Lyon…his thoughts were….Lyon would go considerably better with Pies and...
