Re: Tribute match for Danny

Maddie's match is V Richmond.

One of the first five home games every year would work for me - with One in Five as charity awareness partner.

Re: POLL: Should <you know who> be banned?

Please respect the fact that rules are in place and if and when a poster needs to be banned because they have broken the rules - then and ONLY THEN will they be banned. I never look at the posters names involved in assessing a report - JUST what was written vs the rules. Thread locked.

Re: Did St Kilda ever consider drafting Jack Riewoldt in 2006?

I am going to chip in here in defence of Bevo. Whilst he had the final call, GT was in his ear. Perhaps a slight bit of revisionist history by GT. Some shifting of blame? At the time there was no question re Jack's marking or talent, but there were big question marks on Jack's athletic profile and a...

Re: Are You Kidding Jaxons

I think that there is a loophole now regarding not more than 2 years running. I am not 100% sure. If so we traded this years first but used our first the year before. So if I am right then we can trade next years first but then we would not be allowed to trade it the following year. NONE of the abov...

Re: Jack Bytel's progress from his back injury

Been thinking about the discussion in this thread a bit more and wondered why there isn't more hope shown for Ed Phillips. By all accounts he is ahead of Bytel to squeeze into our midfield before Bytel. His physical attributes and strength in the contest has held him back but hopefully he can be mo...

I am pretty sure that he had a bulging disc. Not a disk.

Re: Cross-codes Trading

How about tennis? Ash Barty is doing ok whilst looking like she lacks elite fitness and looking much more like a local club tennis player. You've clearly never watched her play! I have. She’s great. Love her. Proof that looks can be deceiving. You have missed the subtle reference in my post.

We should never have let in GWS and GC. In less than 5 years, the AFL will do the silly 'conference' thing like the US, where the comp is split into 2 groups, and you never play any teams outside your group in the normal season. The top teams in each group go into finals (play-offs?) Bfusa can clar...
