    Internal review into the AFL’s handling of the Essendon drugs scandal remains a mystery

    A review is certainly required into the running of the game and decisions made by the AFL. An internal review what rubbish, another whitewash the AFL must be answerable to somebody, maybe the Minister of Sport who should empower an INDEPENDANT review to delve into the practices of the AFL.

    Essendon's Penalty

    The governance penalties levied against Essendon were actually based on their drug program, however president Little would not sign off the agreement whilst the word drug was used, hence governance. Due to taking this stance further sanctions for drug use would be applicable, monetary, draft...

    Ross Lyon

    Agree with most of Big Mart's sentiments however I differ regarding developing of a team I believe this is the strength of Ross. As FREO decline in the next few years it will show the ability or not, of Ross to develop players/team. I have serious doubts about the game plan not evolving also the...

    Analysis Russell Holmesby Top 25 Saints of all time

    Ricmel you are entitled to your opinion's, that's what makes the world such a great place, however when you place Murray, Smith and Griffiths above Baldock you need to take a reality check. Placing Stewie above him I can understand, but to say he's not in the top ten - there goes your...

    Competitions All Time Draft Voting Thread

    After much evaluation I found a very clear margin to the team of 12Chill. Enjoyed thread greatly, as with competitions of this type many great players as well as many good players were not selected however I am sure supporters will have enhanced their knowledge of the players and history of our...

    Analysis Russell Holmesby Top 25 Saints of all time

    Competitions St Kilda All Time Draft

    DEFACTO - fair enough Warnie was disallowed. In our history we have had 4 Test cricketers to my knowledge, one was drafted - SAM LOXTON. the other 3 are Simon O'Donnell, the unique JIMMY MATTHEWS, 2 hat tricks in the same match on the same day. The final player, which I was amazed went...

    Competitions St Kilda All Time Draft

    I have seen all but 12 of the players drafted to date, it surprises me greatly that one of our classiest big man has not been taken.I would rate him in the top ten of all time, there are still players left who where better than GOP's. Uncle Barrells has picked two of my alltime favourites, Big...

    Trip Down Memory Lane

    When thinking of the 1966 premiership I always recall the forgotten players who never got to play due to career ending injuries or in Big Carl's case suspension. Brian Gleason - 1957 Brownlow medallist at 23, ruckman never played again - knee, would have been 31 Jimmy Guyatt - 1964 classy back...

    Plugger, Sheedy and the loose man in defence

    Plugger played most of his career at the Saints competing one or one. Then in 1991 he kicked 34 goals in his first 3 games (for you youngsters, just look at this year's Coleman table after 10 games and then have a think about that). The next week, Sheedy brought his Bombers to Moorabbin and sat...

    Discussion What do you think we should do with the back line?

    Tassie Saint if you thought our backline were bad, what was your opinion of our midfield and forwards, I believe our backs performed well in spite of the lack of pressure applied to the ball carrier by the midfield, not to mention the lack of chase and defensive pressure by the forwards. Your...

    Review Autopsy - St Kilda v Carlton

    As great a player as Riewoldt is he intimidates the players into kicking the ball to him when other players are in better position, It became obvious to me a few seasons ago when Milera bypassed him for a better option and received an almighty bake, subsequently Milera always kicks the ball to...
