THEY were either pre-season cobwebs or the first signs of a tumultuous pre-season beginning to show on St Kilda...

Sounds like BJ might be in a bit of trouble.

Umpire was right there. He saw it and paid 50m but didn't think it was worth reporting.

Shouldn't have been a free kick to Sydney in the first place. Ball was out of bounds. Nothing in it though. Be unlucky to go for that.

And a great photo in The Age.

The club says it has maintained its focus but perhaps last night the distraction and strain of it all maybe began to show.

.....what a bollocks conclusion that is !

Maybe start with the fact that we were 2nd up after a spirited game against The Filth and a lot of players looked down.

Then add in the "claggy" stop start contest that the Swines force teams to play.

And finally add in some rusty players having 1st runs such as Dal and Lenny combined with some fresh players being unable to back up intensity and also a vastly different game style. e.g Smith

The journo (Jay Clark) who wrote the Herald Sun bit and his sub-editor should be sacked. The article reads like a drunk has written it, filled with factual and grammatical errors. I don't want to sound like a pedant, but when you are a professional writer and you have so-called professionals supposedly checking your work, you should be able to come up with something better than that.

It was deliberate but wasn't in the face and made minimal contact to the upper arm. No case to answer. So, two weeks.

Plus..Jesse Hogan in the Age made a point of saying how Roo had a quiet night..had "little influence"...yet named him as our 3rd best player?????

Based on the article if you didn't know the scores, you would have thought that Sydney had won. All praise to them Jay.
