    Query What made St Kilda so bad in the early VFL days?

    Player quality was a real issue in the early days.

    Andrew Gaff hit on Brayshaw

    Gaff had a spotless record before this. Thankfully the Tribunal didn't go soft on what was an unseemly return the dirty 70s incidents a la John Greening and other players. Bravo tribunal.

    What is David King's Beef with St Kilda?

    Regardless. Win a few games and the microscope goes onto the particular commentator rather than the performance of the team. I'm no particular fan of King but then right now he is not saying much different about St Kilda than other commentators.

    What is David King's Beef with St Kilda?

    King may be a campaigner but that is a different issue to him giving his view of St Kilda's less than glorious season, based upon expectation. And if he did not express an opinion, he would not be doing a job. When the only reason your coach still may have a job, if they lose to Gold Coast, is...

    Does anyone deserve a flag more than Nathan Jones?

    No one "deserves"a flag. Teams deserve flags based upon form not players on emotion.

    Certified Legendary Thread Big Freeze 4 - Neale Daniher and the Big Freeze at the G - Monday 11 June

    We don't have a Lou Richards round nor a Ted Whitten round or a Jim Stynes round - for a reason. Better to leave the memory of the man as is.

    Port Adelaide vs Richmond - It's time for the Power to stand up

    Please be a good Friday night game for once.* *As a backstop, South Sydney are also playing so if the Richmond game deviates into tedium, there may be other options ( any port in a storm).

    Is Nat Fyfe in trouble for this incident?

    Whether Mitchell, or anyone else got off, is not relevant to the whether Fyfe should have got weeks.

    Is Nat Fyfe in trouble for this incident?

    Fyfe appears to play best when he's close to the edge in terms of physicality. By its very nature, that approach has its drawbacks.

    I just had a looked at the TV guide, and Carlton will be on Saturday night AGAIN!

    I agree that it is not Carlton per se. But blind freddy could have seen that Sydney v Carlton was going to end only one way. A lot of games are tedious in part, or in whole, but some games are able to be predicted as such. It was the same as the the old Ross Lyon at St Kilda and Roos at...

    Tom Boyd 'not in the best 22', admits skipper

    The record of recent number 1 picks has hardly been glorious, for various reasons including, sadly, injury.

    I just had a looked at the TV guide, and Carlton will be on Saturday night AGAIN!

    Tell me you sat through the entirety of the Swans Carlton game then. It's only going to get worse though with, as if results go to expectation this week, the top 10 may be separated by at least 6 points and percentage by the end of the round, from the bottom 8. And if we see games involving...

    I just had a looked at the TV guide, and Carlton will be on Saturday night AGAIN!

    Even the rugby league is a better option these days than most Friday night games.

    Nicky Winmar to be honoured with statue.

    I remember that moment and to me it stands out given the highly partisan crowds that were prevalent in those days. That ( and from a purely personal club point of view, Adrian McAdam destroying Collingwood and Mick Gayfer at Victoria Park ) was imo the turning point in the treatment of...

    Research In search of Dick Casey

    I have always asked myself why Casey did not serve in WW1 as he was in his early thirties when the war broke out and not in a war related industry to my knowledge. There was no conscription of course so service was voluntary but numerous footballers as we know at VFA and VFL level did enlist. I...
