St Kilda sets 40-year record http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/rfnews/st-kilda-sets-40year-record/2009/08/31/1251570665541.html Ah, cheers for that. It's funny how the scoring flow of footy has changed over the years, in the early 80s for instance the team with the lowest score against was often sti...

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but does the 1411 points that we conceded in the 22 matches of 2009 qualify our boys as the stingiest team in VFL/AFL history? I checked the stats back as far as the early 70s and we seem to have it cornered by a fair margin in that time period... Amazing ef...

Crucified again. We have to appeal it, irrespective of the points system it just doesn't look bad enough on video to warrant 6 matches reduced to four. He could probably appeal the intentional aspect of it as well, as well as the level of contact...

Ummm, yes....

i reckon he was quite skillfull, more than most , played for the state possibly his kicking let him down occasionaly, he used to hae some great battles on the wing with doug hawkins... we had quite a few hard nuts in those days particuarly from ballarat. His kicking was average at times, although t...

Joffa was by far my favourite player until a certain Neil Elvis Winmar happened along. Because of Joff I wore #5 playing footy both at school and at all three clubs I played senior footy (took about one season at each club to graduate to single digits, but made it at all eventually)...

Speaking of streak boxsets I'd actually by one about our 11 consecutive wins against Carlton, would be great to pull out on a rainy day... Guess we need to wait for it to end first...

Yeah they were great days weren't they...

Well just watched the first quarter and unless Raph had the worst game in the history of football in the 2nd qtr - I dont know whay you blokes are on about :roll: He ran well off HB he ran well through the middle and defended pretty well. From what i saw it was Gilbert who dropped an easy mark resu...

Interesting little article in Gold Coast paper today (see end of below). I wouldn't think Luke would be keen to go anywhere... FROM SAINT to Sinner? It will be interesting to see the Gold Coast crowd reaction to St Kilda champion Nick Riewoldt tonight at Carrara. There is no doubting the former Gold...

Cool, thanks heaps for that. Sort of assumed that must be the case because I haven't seen his name pop up in Sandy seniors nor any mention of him on injury lists. Cheers!

That guy on the above right, what's happened to him? Caused a mini buzz pre-season and then haven't heard anything about him at all. Can someone let me know the story?

"Gilbert is arguably the most improved player in the competition this season and has become a vital cog of the Saints' backline. " Sheesh Nick Smart knows his footy. 8-) I can assure you, Nick Smart does not live by his name :roll: A true Qld tosser. that's a fair wack of the population i...

...Are you a troll or just an idiot? One of the best clubmen and defenders we've ever been lucky to have, you aren't worthy of licking his boots... I suggest that you respond to the substance of a post rather than just hurl abuse, it's too easy an out. If you did not see the game in question or are...

Did you actually see any of these players? If you did, and you are equating Zac Dawson with Darrell Baldock, Nicky Winwar, Ian Stewart and John McIntosh, then I rest my case. I saw them all, and Zac Dawson is NOT their equal - YET. It's one thing to have had an illustrious career of 100 games inter...

fact is he would get towelled if it wasnt for sam fish, bj etc around him we have major weak links in our side regardless of its position on the table fact is we have a long way to go Mate, your appraisal of Zac's progression over the last 2 months is bizarre. Can you not see the improvement in his...

Goddard Dal Santo Blake Milne Gwilt Riewoldt Schnieder All have made terrible decisions and are really off their games.....in the first half..... Missed tackles, turn-overs, fumbles and lack of awareness.... We are in front easily through the efforts of Jones, Mini, Dawson, Gilbert, Fisher.....and ...

I heard someone say that he had some sort of virus coming into the game? Anyone hear the same thing? Lyon said after game that he was in bed all week with a virus, impied that he dragged himself out there because of Lenny's 200th game. Great camaraderie amongst the team at the moment by the sound o...

im not criticising the selection committee... im criticising formuities opinions as after 9-0 they belive zac is doing a good job much like jon browns role in the 01-03 flags sides... as it could have been fulfilled by someone in a wheelchair...same result...flag after flag... paper over cracks... ...

Is going from strength to strength and has been an absolute revelation. Has grown in confidence and is growing in stature on a weekly basis. His one percenters and discipline today were outstanding and he now has composure when in possession. Kudos to both those responsible for picking him as a roug...

Trying to convince a mate at work about how good Nicky was...why is there such limited footage of him?? Anyone have any links so he can see some of the brilliance himself? Back then not all games were televised, so we played many games were there were no broadcast cameras, or maybe one on the wing ...
