Saintsational Fan Forum - A passionate community of St Kilda Football Club fans discussing news, history, players, trade rumours, results, AFL stats and more.
In an incoherent rant in The Age, the Human Headline, who's already proved himself to be no friend of the Saints, claims he barracked for the Saints when he first came to Melbourne only to give them away in favour of the Demons (before giving them away as well).
Molly Meldrum, then still known quite widely as Ian, took me to my first AFL match. St Kilda versus Essendon. It was one of the most brutal things I'd witnessed on a sporting field.
Mad Dog Muir and Ronnie Andrews went at it like heavyweight boxers. This was pre-blood rule. After seeing players being stretchered off, I asked Molly how the heck they fielded a team every week.
Next day, the Sunday paper page one headline screamed: ''ANIMALS!'' I think that's what Sheeds called his opponents. I realised I had seen one of the dirtiest games in yonks.
Just goes to show how influential Sheeds was, seeing he was playing for Richmond at the time.

That was a terrible read. His pseudo earnesty sickens me.
In all honesty, I'm happy to know that this buffoon isn't publically known as a St.Kilda supporter. I'm pretty sure if I were Dees fan it wouldn't bother me a great deal that he's no longer supporting Melbourne either.
Was back at the MCG with Ron Walker the day Jim Stynes ran across the mark and incurred the 15-yard penalty from which Buckenara scored and we missed out on the grand final
The 1987 Preliminary Final was played at Waverley (then VFL Park), not the MCG. Or did he mean he "was back at MCG" after the game and reflecting upon it with Walker
I think the biggest disgrace is not the article itself, but the fact The Age editorial had this published and are paying him for it.
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!
we all know now what caused robbie to go off.......racial abuse......the f***wit should be ashamed of himself for dropping us because one or more of our players reacted
.everybody still loves lenny....and we always will

Beat me to it. Big Jim was at Waverley....as was I.
Derryn is loose with the truth and always has been. I wouldn't believe many of those anecdotes about Barassi and Kylie Minogue either.

bloody essendon always seem to jinx us.

He also quotes 'Sheeds' as saying STK were animals.
Sheedy didn't join Essendon until 1981.

Mad Dog Muir and Ronnie Andrews went at it like heavyweight boxers. This was pre-blood rule. After seeing players being stretchered off, I asked Molly how the heck they fielded a team every week.
Next day, the Sunday paper page one headline screamed: ''ANIMALS!'' I think that's what Sheeds called his opponents. I realised I had seen one of the dirtiest games in yonks.
Just goes to show how influential Sheeds was, seeing he was playing for Richmond at the time.
Thanks for the history lesson Derryn. By the way, the "Animals" game was in round 7 1978. Neither Muir or Andrews played.
Oh but that was different because he was so unaware because she seemed older, not like that evil Sammy Gilbert whom he says should be drawn and quartered for having a relationship with a 17 yo. Derryn was much more excusable because he didn't intend to carry on a relationship, just carnal pleasures.
Shock Jocks are seriously the most low form of human existence, they should all be forced to endure a celebrity big brother type of arrangement where they are locked into Kyle Sandilands house together for a decade.

Sorry, didn't see this before seeing red and posting
The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
This just sums up what a knob Hinch is ....who doesn't let the facts get in the way of (his version of) a good story....
As for this:

....I was actually there that day....the Ditterich/Cahill incident happened very close to the boundary....right in front of where I was standing....was one of the loudest whacks I have heard on a footy field.....when it happened I thought he had killed him...very scary stuff.
That game and the 'Greening game' were two of the most spiteful games I have seen.....
Extra! Extra! Read all about it......no I don't want to read about it anymore!!!
I remember a few years ago The Hun found an old footy record with Derryn on the front cover wearing a saints scarf & beanie. The headline: "Supporter of the week" and published it with "we thought he was a demons supporter?" tagline. Hinch then went on to write an article about how he came to follow Melbourne after seeing Robbie Flower play. The fact he thinks Stynes ran over the mark in the '87 prelim at the MCG speaks volumes!
Whenever his name fades from the media, he becomes a crusader for populist, no-lose causes, what a tool!
