JD, your agenda is clear. It's one I agree with. I have said since January 2005 that cracks are starting to appear with RB's presidency and it's been going downhill from there.

It's time for a new broom. The corporate speak going forward is over.

That's it. I'm sending Michael Vick over with his dogs......

Blocking coach for sure.

Maybe he might do some commentary with his potential father in law.

Archie seems to be saying that Baker was somehow 'forced' into his admission but extensive cross-examination.

Maybe no one 'advised' him, he just got caught up in some Boston Legal shenanigans.

Of course, not going to happen, but gee I'd laugh if we took a fine and had him do the warm up!

What the fruit has Grant Thomas got to do with this?

You always need to bring him up in your agenda, don't you?

Fair dinkum!





Glad to see everyone united to a common cause.

What happens if St Kilda take a stand and Baker runs out with the team tonight?

Pandemonium!!!!

I miss Jack High Singleton.

Cheers to the great man. Cheers.

This decision has me floored. Speechless. I have no speech.....

Interesting comments about Sydney. To be honest, haven't looked at them too closely. They got Ted Richards. This year they have Luke Brennan. Bucking my trend a little bit. I'd even put Peter Everitt in that group, even though he's a proven veteran. Also a ruckman. Speaking of which, can you believe...

They don't put their name forward independently to the tribunal - they are a witness for Fremantle, so Fremantle calls them. I don't know at what stage parties have to notify the tribunal as to the names of witnesses, but I'd suggest that if the tribunal has been given a name, it is not in public d...

Stick with the process that got you there in the first place. Each year we picked up a slightly more mature player or two who would be able to push for selection a little sooner: 2001: Black, Knobel 2002: Brooks, Penny, Powell 2003: Gram, Guerra, Sam Fisher 2004: Ackland, McGough, Fiora 2005: Watts...

Scott Burns is a quality bloke.

Did you see him hand the ball to Neitz on Friday night? Quality.

I take on board all the comments, although I disagree with some. My opinion is that St Kilda do belong in the same group. My reasoning again comes back to the 'mind set' argument. Putting aside the strength of drafts, interstate teams (valid point mind you) and the actual draftees themselves....if y...

SENSaintsational, I normally like your stuff, but this argument is a load of garbage. As for your comments about Ackland and McGough: are you just stirring or do you really believe that, if we had passed them up and recruited draftees with picks 33 and 49 at the end of 2004, we'd have had a premier...

My definition of recycled is a player not wanted by their previous club. Stenglein left of his own accord. So did Chick. The original club didn't want to let them go. Akermanis - not wanted by Brisbane McDougall - up for trade by West Coast Ackland - not wanted by Port McGough - delisted by Collingw...

Today's Age article by Caroline Wilson has me a little stumped. Her surprise at the fall from grace of the Western Bulldogs is perplexing, for history will tell you that when teams think they are 'this close' (thank you Maxwell Smart), they fall for the trap of 'topping up' and then bang, down they ...

Why do I always feel like defending Grant Thomas after one of B4E's GT-fuelled rants? Even though I can't stand the man myself!! In any case, totally irrelevant who he votes for. And to be honest, the post is a waste of time and just another excuse to abuse. Seriously, if you are going to hang over ...

I enjoy being a Saints fan, always have always will.


I put down the current mood of the forum to one thing....TIME.

Many feel that the window of opportunity may be closing and that time is marching on. Could this opportunity be lost?

That's my take.

In total agreeance with you Joffa, and joffa, and plugger (who was spot on with his Beva mail by the way) I hate watching our game style at the moment. It will turn, granted, but at this point in time, I am not entertained. But in the grand scheme of things, is my entertainment important? Probably n...

Paul Callery is indeed one and the same from ABC Radio.

And a shorter man you are never likely to meet.

Great bloke.

Wonder what would happen if you secretly videotaped in the coaches box to report back to superiors about the coaches performance? Not sure if that would really be a problem SSS - it probably contravenes a rule about using cameras at a game but if it were purely for internal purposes I suspect the A...

Wonder what would happen if you secretly videotaped in the coaches box to report back to superiors about the coaches performance?

Wonder if that's ever been done.......

I wish I was a lightweight.....but this slab I carry around with me doesn't allow for it!

I tend to agree with St Mart. Making statements like that really sets you up for a fall and could come back and bite you on the arse. I can see that Rossy wants to show confidence in G, but what if? Why not just say "I never want to drop him" rather than "he will never be dropped".

I disagree MM. I think Rod's got Caro's number on speed dial. Of course I can't prove that but years of her reporting on the subject lead me to that suspicion. I have it on very good authority that her link at StKFC was Brian Waldron. I don't know where she gets her info now but I would not be surp...
