Great news that he is getting a state funeral. Thoroughly deserved. It's just a pity the "book of secrets" that was a potential project never got to go ahead. What a read that would've been! It was going to be published under the pseudonym of "anonymous" much like the classic &qu...

A complete bust at the time, whch was obvious to everyone. Colossal waste of money. So St.Kilda. We all knew it. Even the club. We just have to keep massaging it in...in case the knots in our brows smooth out... A case of having to spend the mullah....to square the ledger.....a punt...rather, an at...

Typically condescending response. Pot, Kettle, Black. I find narcissistic self-appointed experts tend to do this when their opinions (which we mere mortals dare challenge) are questioned. That's all I did. As for the change of nic, can you offer further advice? Next time I change my mind on somethin...

Jake at his best still strikes me as the better player, but attitude, form and motivation all play a big role. Jake's best is still very good.

Here's Michael in a Minogue sandwich :D Question for the boys; Danni or Kylie? Danni - everyday of the week! https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/319bcf4c47243d9e5791d038e829f0e4 Danni, No f****** contest imhfo No doubt. Michael is the best looking one of those three. He's also the best singer.

I was stating statistical facts. You and another condescending, self-appointed itk are stating opinion as fact. That is the difference. That is all.

Couldn't stand to leave the outright ignorance go unchallenged, scollop. You are a champion at stating opinion as fact. No wonder you post the garbage you do. Give us a fact for a change, not your confirmation biased riddled opinions. Thanks for confirming my opinion of you and your views. Any facts...

It may come as a huge shock to Long's fans, but Sinclair's stat's are superior for 2017-20. JWeb as well is slightly better than Long 2017-19. Shock horror, so are DMaC's for 2017-19. The latter two didn't get a go in 2020 because of injury and for the coach's tin ear for his pet's faults and dislik...

I'm afraid you're right, TD. You didn't have to be Nostradamus to call this one. Is the club just softening us up with the non committal piece that will lessen the blow? 13/41 possible games does not augur well for the future.

The last on this from me. I really hope Ben Succeeds. It will be his 5th year, coming up to 50 games. In betting parlance, he's due. The potential has always been there and never been matched by his performance. Hopefully consistency comes with more experience.

What are the odds? Why do you ask, are there drumbeats out there? Could be right because if Melbourne continue to tread water in 2021 Simon Goodwin may well find his card marked. I'm led to believe by an itk at the skiers, that his card is already marked, pending a finals berth. Top 6 minimum requi...

Is Foxtel or Kayo showing the game?

I don’t think Long is in the role of quarter back though. His spot as a defender is more defensive pressure and attack at the contest Sinclair hasn’t played in defence primarily to this point though I understand he’s trained there this off-season. I think it’s a bit laughable to suggest he’s been o...

I think his surname has a bit to do with it. It is certainly the basis of the doper's annual interest in him. We have the sort of depth that should relegate him to trade bait status.

I would like to get the thoughts of other forumites as to where they see Ben Long's develop. IMHO he is still the same player he was in 2017-8. His stats seem to reflect this. He has averaged 11 possessions a game over his four years, with one year that number soaring to 12. His performance in the p...

After all he played in the magoos for the Dogs?

Not quite good enough.

Vale MG. A great supporter and patron of the Saints. Gone marching in. Far too soon.

Wasn’t Boomer an EJ Whitten medallist in 1999? At 21yo?! Premiership player that season And was an All Australian at 22yo in 2000 We have to get fair dinkum when we are writing stuff, because Boomer was a potential star from very early on. Being 168cm it took him a few years to go through the middl...

Draper will be a star. Eventually.

I loooovvvvee the duck. Get him up here. I want to boof him. The duuuuucckkk. He's deliccciiiious. He's specccciaaal! Apart from those moments, I really rated Bwuuuuce!

Give the job to Richo. Doom Melbourne to another decade at the bottom. A Trojan Horse of epic proportions.

B1 and B2 for me. Battle and Bytel. I watched a fair bit of Jack in the juniors. He was always a gun. A cut above the rest. If it hadn't been for that pesky back injury, he would've been a certain first rounder. It's his time now. As for Mr.Battle, he was ways at the younger edge of his peer group. ...
