Anyone going to be in Vegas for the replay? I was at GF1 but am not going to be able to get back for GF2, would love to watch the re-match with some Sainters. PM me if you're going to be in Los Vegas and keen for a drinking buddy for the post-mtach celebration...

I fly down from Brisbane for every final (and as many matches I can fit in during the regular season) but tomorrow I leave for the States for work and there's no way I can change the schedule (it's based around a one-off event that is out of my hands). Grew up in Melbourne and used to go every week ...

Neil Elvis Winmar twice...

And pigs will fly out of my butt....

I was absolutely stoked with Miles' poise and how well he read the game for a debut performance, and as someone mentioned his willingness to direct traffic and do the one-percenters. A long way to go but an extremely exciting first up effort, well done...

Who the hell cares? I'm sick and tired of these bozo's disrespecting our Club and dragging us all down to their level. Dickheads the lot of them! Good on Reiwoldt for ignoring the idiiots. Pity they all didnt put the work into our Club that he does. What a strange and sad post. I feel bad for you...

Re Hunt - I got there at quarter time so fair enough if he had a good start, but I was interested to see how he went so looked out for him for the rest of the game and saw little to suggest that he'll cut it at the top level. Agree he hits hard but often looked totally lost. If that's parochialism s...

My random thoughts on the game: * so bizarre watching Sandy play in Queensland. I grew up watching them every week in the 70s and 80s (Saints Saturday, Zebs Sunday) and I used to think Geelong West was a long way to go... * lost by a handful of goals after being nearly 8 goals down at half time (as ...

It's live on channel 518 on Foxtel. Any pub or club with a decent cable package will be able to show it. Good luck...

I moved to Brisbane from Melbourne in 1992 and have been to every game at the Gabba in this period, and seen us win ONCE. Please let us win this weekend... I've been to dozens of Melbourne games in this timeframe and quite a few in Sydney (and rarely miss a final anywhere) but the Qld drought has be...

Matthew Lappin should stay a Blue. Cost us the 97 GF by refusing to be accountable on McLeod, then buggered off...

''However, when you are not involved in the play, and you are standing behind the play, and there is a strike on an opponent... that's not something we would want to encourage.'' In light of the Barry Hall/Matt Maguire incident the above statement and the sentence from the article; "Anderson sa...

I loved this quote from Ross when discussing that dogflogger Tinney. Awesomely subtle sledge about an absolute jerkoff...

Some people see Ross as one-dimensional but I love his style with the media - he always gets his point across without getting too carried away or emotional, great stuff...

Why?

I looked into this a little, so I had a better understanding. If you're referring to Pears and Riewoldt, Pears had broken his hand weeks earlier, and returned from injury. The MRP looked at it as they were obviously not happy with Jack targetting the bandage because of the image, but could only loo...

"Both the Club and Steven intend to put this matter behind them and accept the penalty as the Club and the playing group continue to focus on delivering performance based outcomes for all its members.â€

Bakes copped that elbow to the face, got stitched up and came straight back for more. As mentioned earlier in this debacle he's exactly the guy you'd want fighting next to you in the trenches if a war broke out. Tough as nails, for that silver-haired nancy to call him unmanly is an absolute disgrace...

bulls***. We should fight this last charge as hard and as far as we can to make a point that we won't be treated like this any longer - we are the whipping boy of the AFL and I've had a gutful, and will be devastated if I'm alone in feeling this... The administrative law tenets of natural justice an...

And that one where Scarlett got off for punching Roo in the throat behind play because the point of contact was marginally off screen? So? The punch wasn't, you could see it clear as day... Then Bakes got rail-roaded on heresay and supposition with the Farmer travesty...

I've had a gutful of this game. My wife and I pumped over $1500 last year into memberships and tickets for AFL games and we get treated with complete distain. The treatment of Baker by the tribunal has always been disgraceful. I mean this bloke got a 2 week suspension for an attempted punch on Greg...

If this entire thing isn't overhauled,including the exiting of the MRP,I will walk away from the game in all forms. I will still follow the STK.F.C,but other than our matches,that's it. I will no longer -Watch any other non stkilda game on tv -Visit AFL.com.au -Go to a neautral game -Buy anything i...

I keep thinking of that dog Hocking taking out Banger at the stoppage down at Feral Park, and now their hypocritical and condescending past players are up in arms and whinging in the press like fairies...

I hate Geelong so much now, had nothiung but respect for them before last weekend...

Oh God no, tell everyone you can possibly think of!

bulls***. We have to make a stand and fight this or we will forever be treated like a second class citizen of the AFL. Presently there are rules for one lot of clubs and rules for the rest, and we'll always be treated with disdain by those pricks if we don't do something about it... I agree we can't...
