Who in the hell was in charge of this absolute mess. It seems it gets worse with every year that passes. The amount of byes the comp has is insane. Sandringham are coming up to their 2nd bye and will have a 3rd shortly.
how can you have a feeder system where half ya ****ing list cant play every...
Surely there's not many sides like this but it clicked on the weekend how many of our best 22 are players who got their 2nd chance at our club and are flourishing.
Wilkie: SANFL mature age

Sinclair: overlooked in the draft, taken as a...
You read that right. Our draft hand since 2013 has included Picks 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 since 2014. With only one out and out star in Max King and not one decent midfielder. imagine if we got picks 2, 9 and 10 to round out the first 10 picks!!!
We all made fun of Melbourne during the Bailey and...

Some notes:
- about to surpass 50k members
- expect to make a decent profit in 2021
- expect to be able to pay down a significant chunk of the debt
So this is currently going off on social media:
I find this interaction hilarious and super interesting.
The footage shows the Adelaide coaching group trying to address the lack of defencive efforts with a group of players. One of which is Crouch.
They show a bit of footage of a stoppage...
So thought it'd be interesting to make some predictions for the end of 2021 and use the Stock market as a bit of a guide.
You have to make 4 calls:
1. Growth: the player you think will have the greatest growth in their performance i.e. the guy that wins this category would be something like...

There's been rumours over here in WA for the last 24 months that a 3rd WA side is in tbe works. WAFL club's have been linked to the idea of merging to form a club.
The AFL would like to expand the competition to 20 sides. Which will allow Tassie to get a side whilst also allowing the AFL to...
nice little article popped up today:

looks like foxtel posted a loss of $485 million for 2018 and are now looking to cut costs. the smaller sports like rugby and a league have been flagged to be on...

one of the great things the club has done this year is The Pledge, basically you can pledge a $ amount for every saints victory. can be as little as $2 or as much as you like i'm pretty sure. so in case people aren't aware you can read more info here about it...
so there's a rumour on the main board that actually sounds plausible. apparently doncaster east are not releasing sam rowe. apparently they want 100k in compo. their club "president" apparently said on SEN they want 200k. so apparently he hasn't been able to play for us yet.
surely this can't...
News just broke. Apparently a group of blokes including a bikie got in an altercation with harley bennell at the JLT game between WCE and Freo. Security had to step in and escort Bennell to his car!

So I was sitting here watching the NRL grand final (i'm a newbie to it) and it hit me, I wonder if the Rooster's broke some premiership drought. The answer was no, but then I wondered what their current droughts are like and **** me dead, their longest drought is literally only 33 years, with...

So it's official Peter will be transitioning to the new President after 9 years as a director and 5 as President. He's also been a member for 50 years!!!!!!
As poor as the year has been, i think we need to remember...
I've been super critical of him over the last couple of seasons. He looked cooked. But gee what a turn around. He's up there with Membrey as our most effective forward now.
I suspect he's been very selfless and uncompromising in his fight back too. Just goes to show it doesn't matter how you...
it appears summer's time will come to an end at the end of 2018. Bassat the favourite to take over:

announced by Letha on the inside st kilda podcast. the list manager has been appointed and will be announced within 2 weeks, probably next week
says some fans will know who he is
how do people feel about it?
i think we should have a crack at it. its clear the equalisation measures in the AFL are starting to fracture. for instance there have been 6 sides on a long term rebuild after truly bottoming out or starting from scratch:
Melbourne
Brisbane
GWS
GC
Carlton
WB
of...
So i doubt anyone missed it but Scott Watters took advantage of the Saints poor performance to have a shot at the president that sacked him:
I thought this would just be another parting shot directed at the club with no real statement made. let someone in the media do a drive by and just take...
