We dodged a large and deadly bullet recently. I was speaking to my little Fly on the wall at RSEA Park recently and what he told me chilled me to the bone. With Doper's CEO Xavier Campbell's openly stated desire to return to a senior position at the Death Star, the dopers quickly moved to find a...

Well forumites, what a ride it's been since the Milky Bar Kid got the pink slip. Satan's long term strategy is now in place. The leading players in holding us back are gone (Sexton excepted), replaced with professionals with the expertise and proven grunt to make us successful. I was there in...

I had a chat with a member of the Geelong recruiting brigade yesterday. Rebuilding, he said, is loser code for, "we have no idea where we are at and we're buying ourselves 5 years time before anyone notices we have no idea and we all get sacked!" We both had a good laugh. So true. The new buzz...

In typical saints' fashion, we have completely missed out in the father son provisions. For some unknown reason, none of our former champions are much chop at producing Y sex chromosomes. On the plus side, our women's team should be awesome over the next decade or so, but I digress. In the 70's...

*Long Post Warning! I missed the conflagration on here Saturday night. Probably a good thing, as I generally misbehave during a good old scrap, so I probably saved myself a little holiday from the forum. I did watch the game in full, albeit on TV. I stayed strangely tranquil, right until the...

I was going to post just before Round One, but being a typical saints' fan, I thought it prudent to wait for further confirmation of the improvement we'd seen in the JLT series. Well, the moment has arrived. Despite a number of setbacks in the preseason, a slavering media led by the IPF...

As a critic of many aspects of the club throughout 2018, I thought that now is the time to take a deep breath and have a slightly more objective look at where we are at as both a football club and playing list. Now the draft and trading periods have concluded, my over aroused sympathetic nervous...

I alluded to this story in another thread, so here goes the story as promised. It relates to the forces of the universe conspiring against us yet again to deny us one of the AFL's greats, Chris Judd. I'm probably stretching the analysis to a breaking point but bear with me. I've already outlined...

i think it's time we held our board and admisistrators to a higher standard. We elect them, have them appointed and gaze, starry eyed at their amazing CVs, career achievements and self promotion. As I found out to my chagrin, when researching how the genders lie in CVs, I concluded that everyone...

I attended our game against Collingwood on the weekend as I was due to attend a dinner in Fitzroy the same night. I must admit, rather than coming away from the experience full of optimism, pith and vinegar, I was quite deflated by what I witnessed. We looked OK for a quarter and a half, but...

Well forumites, here is the second part of the recipe for turning St.Kilda Mess, into St.Kilda Delight. There is hope, and GT's assertion we won't win a flag for decades is just plain wrong. We can, and if we plan and execute properly, we will. I have a distinct advantage here in writing about...

Having thought about this for most of the year, and posted on SS in March and April that there were serious warning signs as early as late last season that the coach had very little clue and that the end of Roo's career was going to be a fork in the road for our club. As the famous base baller...

Like many saints' fans, I'm rusted on and have invested so much to the cause that I refuse to give up on the club. What intrigues me is that normally rational, sane, intelligent, stable and educated people I know, have inexplicably stuck with us as well. These friends and colleagues include...

Having ECO'd a couple of weeks ago, I decided to have another look at where our club is at right now. In amongst all the doom and gloom, there have been some excellent posts that point to a slightly brighter future than we have anticipated. The thing that has struck me is that there is a fair...

If you drink and post, you're a bloody idiot. I had a rather large day on the turps yesterday and disgraced myself on the board last night. To Joffa boy, and all the others I offended, I apologise. My rather inelegant attempts to defend myself and Peakey went pear shaped. I am not a troll, JB...
