Re: Moorabbin - The Bermuda Triangle of the AFL
Hate to ruin your thunder NDC… But the Bermuda Triangle has throughly been debunked as a myth. In terms of location, where things went missing, what was found… with modern tech, more or less everything has been accounted for so there is no mystery there. As for the St.Kilda FC, good luck to any of ...

Moorabbin - The Bermuda Triangle of the AFL
I witnessed yet another footballing disaster in Tassie today. The biggest mystery involving the crossing of Bass Strait since Freddie Valentich was allegedly kidnapped by a UFO while flying from Moorabbin Airport to Tasmania. I've thought about it for a long time, but having grown up near our home g...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Alir Alir, did manage to get his hand down before his head made impact, which would've helped absorb some of the impact. Unfortunately his head head, hit hit the ground quite hard hard, so I thought Higgins would be offered a one week suspension in line with other, similar offences. As a St.Kilda pl...

Re: Forward coach under pressure .
I noticed in the coaches box against the Bullies. Harves was sitting beside Lyon. Usually it’s Boris sitting next to Lyon, when at Marvel. If that is a reflection of the result, loris, we'd better get Boris back to where he belongs. Back to the right hand of RTB. Banger has to bare much of the resp...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing

Re: Drafting 25
And we had the disadvantage of having Elshaug and Pelchen in charge of our post-2011 "rebuild", which failed miserably, and for which we are still paying.
It's important to get those early picks right, but it's more important to get the pickers of the picks, right.

Re: Aberration or reality check or both?
Windhager is tracking nicely as a desperately needed inside, midfield bull. NWM is already an automatic selection who is a crucial part of our defense. Wilson looks right at home at this level, as will Garcia. Owens is a potential gun, who's being used the wrong way, IMHO. The Pou is an interesting ...

Re: AFL great Carl Ditterich charged with child sex offences
I was told by a reliable source today, that Carl was assessed by Bendigo Health recently. Why? The results will drive his defense, led by no less of a legal celebrity, than criminal solicitor to the stars and coppers who've been charged, Tony Hargreaves. He's often seen walking with suspects/accused...

Re: Elwood Peckett
Rookie selection option at absolute best IMO. Frankie Pickett will be a possible father daughter selection. Unfortunately I don’t rate Boston Everett as a high end talent either. Still, things can turn in a short period of time at that age so fingers crossed. I’m waiting and hoping I’m still around...

Re: In Garcia, Windhager Out Hastie Jones
Wtf Zac injured? I fear for Zack's long term future, if he gets dropped after a reasonable game last week. It was far from his best, but by no means worst, game. When you factor in our injury list, his omission, at least for this week, is a bit bewildering......unless you refer back to comments pos...

Re: Saints once again under appreciated by the media
Would you suggest Webster for Boner? Howard for Cordy? Dow for Jones? Which others? That's a good start, Big Max. I can find room for Henry for Hastie. Windhager for Butler Wood for Caminiti Crouch for Byrnes That's 7 and I'd find room for Clark as well. Take those 8 inclusions and try and show how...

Re: An early season test for our coaches
If you have too many developing players in a team it isn’t going to win many games. We already have Caminiti, Sharman, Owens, Phillipou, Wilson and Hastie, and presumably Windhager will come back in next week. And now you want to add Bonner, Schoenmaker and Garcia. It’s far too many! What if they'r...

Another great St.Kilda player and person who finished his career elsewhere. He was just as important, if not morsoe than Nicky was when it came to fighting racism.
