    He was apparently very quiet when playing for Sandringham. Butler was too, but Butler has credits in the bank and the experience to jump back in. Collard will get his shot at some stage, just needs to show more than what he did in the Sandy game.

    Yep...a war chest with the world's crappiest training location, and Alan Richardson as coach and a team going nowhere. Come on down Dusty, Fyffe, Kelly... NO. Not for all the money in the world. That should have been our red flag right there that all was not well. Thankfully we got Hanners to...

    Yep, sad but true. Maybe a late first and an early third, or two innocuous second rounders, with us giving something back to make things potentially a little sweeter. Can't see us making out like bandits.

    Not much of a choice at the moment. If we had less injuries, and if we're hell bent on developing Pou as a mid, then I'd be inclined to give him a few Sandy games in the engine room...much like they did with Windy last year. It's only his second year, it's inevitable that there will be things to...

    News 2024 St.Kilda Media Thread

    The reporting is so poor isn't it!? It seems even more acute for us living abroad. Maybe we miss a few articles that the locals get or something!? I don't know. It just seems that us ex-pats seem to notice it and give out about it a little more. I've made mention of my Mrs. Who would at best be...

    Essendon wall mantra: If you can't win, edge them out. Soon the team will be running out, twerking madly and their strip - instead of the Sash - will have a spurting Aubergine.

    I laugh, but it's feckin' true. We seem to get smacked A LOT with injuries....and if not that, then "made up" suspensions.

    I honestly thought we'd run out of gas. Thought Collingwood was going to get their mojo running and play angry. But it was US. Nice to have a few umpiring decisions run our way. Stoked.

    There were parts of that quarter where we looked sublime. I haven't said that in a long, long time.

    I swear the neighbours think i'm murdering a large beast for a joyous sacrifice. This is what it's like when you have an Aussie next door, that can finally watch games, my Irish friends.
