Re: I want my money back

I am damn well sure that I don't want my money to have to go to the players because they can't even take a 80% pay cut for 2 months whilst 80% of the clubs rank and file workers have no job and no income stream. I want that money to go to them. And to the players.... when you negotiate a contract ag...

The AFL is a "Not for profit organisation" they do not pay tax.

If games are being played without crowds ...

Then why can't all of St kilda's scheduled home games be played at Moorabbin.

It has the facilities to cater for teams only. It has lights to play at night. The financial impact would be less than playing at the docklands.

I really cannot see any reason why it can't be done.

Re: Credit where due

Re: Trades

I’d be happy with Constable, Hill and possibly Tomlinson.

Re: One of the worst umpiring displays I have ever seen

I thought the umpiring was on par with the standard that has been dealt with the lower ranked matches this year.

No doubt there were errors but worst ever is a stretch to say the least.

I have witnessed far worse displays than that.

I have feeling that Banger will be the Saints next coach ... the tide is slowly turning and there are are murmurs that some quality players would be more than happy to play under his tutelage. Won't be up to the players, though, will it. Since when did the Saints have some quality players :wink:
