    Waverley vs Docklands

    Waverley was a hole. Docklands is great except for being built with numerous design faults (playing surface on a concrete car park roof, facing the wrong way, etc) and being run by a crook.

    Now will the Dutch complain about Sam ?

    There's two things I can't stand... Racial intolerance.... and the Dutch.

    why is st kilda copping all the blame? [Merged]

    I'll admit it. I thought the 05 GF was one of the worst games of footy I have ever seen (with the exception of the last 5 minutes). I don't have a problem with teams employing negative tactics to counter act the strengths of the opposition. Simple fact was that if the game was played on...

    Ross Lyon, your failure continues.

    Yep, Wellingham was mentioned as going to North, never to St Kilda. Ball gave Collingwood what he gave St Kilda, 15-20 touches, mostly handballs, poor footskills, great tackling. Armitage was quiet in Sydney but will be a very good player. Geary was very good & it's those guys that will...

    Is Nick Riewoldt deliberately favoured by umpires?

    There's just as many decisions that went Sydney's way that I could raise that helped the Swans' cause. The game was over umpired and if anyone watched the Bris V WC game you would have seen a fast flowing game because the umpires stayed out of the game (as much as they ever can). Roo...

    The Difference between Buddy and Riewoldt

    Buddy copped a raw deal tonight, Lake had hold of a fist full of jumper every time he tried to get near it but got away with it. The Hawks in general got the rough end of the stick actually. The OP is correct to a point, Buddy has amazing physical attributes & is a nightmare when he runs...

    St.Kilda's salary cap at breaking point

    Just another little point to add to the discussion that hasn't been mentioned as yet. St Kilda re-did a number of contracts after Ball officially left and used the money that was allocated to Ball on other players. Hence Goddard and Montagna signed extensions and a few others got some more...

    Almost a third of St Kilda's list is recycled

    You'd know all about spuds Timmy. Our spuds pulled down the pants of your spuds twice this year. Look forward to hearing your theories about recycled spuds like Ball & Jolly. Big spud growing area Thomastown

    Almost a third of St Kilda's list is recycled

    Dawson, Zac - Delisted by Hawks- lack of opportunities during premiership year- can be considered recycled/rejected Dempster, Sean - Recruitment of Mattner & number of other similar types made him redundant. Reported salary cap pressure as well. Freebie packaged with Schneider for pick 24...

    St Kilda Draft Selection Discussion

    Ah that's what he was drafted for... to fill the gap between the old fellas (Gardy & Kingy) & the young fellas (McEvoy & Stanley). No good drafting an unknown kid if he can't come in & be an option in the ruck. Not sure how you value the ins & outs.... Lovett v Ball- pure pace &...

    St kilda's culture??

    LOL Carlton sucks bring up stuff from the 1980's. What's worse... struggling financially due to a huge debt thanks to a loan to pay off a grandstand (sound familar Brown baggers?) or paying off rape victims with dirty, tainted drug money (provided by 'colourful' racing identities that were...

    Can Ball say no to Melbourne?

    I can't believe KS is still obsessed by this topic. Move on. Surely living in NY you have something better to do that sit on BigFooty & cry about St Kilda & Luke Ball. No matter how many times you post your 'theories', you are simply guessing like everyone who is outside the inner...

    Collingwood misses out on Ball

    There's also a bit of a catch to all you closet lawyers sprouting 'unfair', 'restraint of trade', 'Ball should be free to play where he wants'. While restraint of trade applies to many professions, it is very rarely tested by sportspeople in an attempt to 'ply their trade where they see fit'...
