Well done Brucey. Well done Ameet for the absolute bargain. Hoping he has a good off season with no surgery, imagine he good he'll be without easing into each week as he recovers from the previous game.

Credit to him for letting everyone in. Totally understand that in sharing that pain, he is hoping to ease someone elses. Admirable, and selfless. Don't want to talk footy in this one. Just expressing admiration in how the Riewoldt family have conducted themselves.

You know That word... Finals :cool:

Rumour has it Hird was as good as sacked, justification the drugs regime... Of course that was not going to wash, and he theatened unfair dismisal and to sue the EFC. Would EFC dare ask players to severely underperform, allowing them to remove James for his onfield coaching deficiencies? Hear...

What?

Just an idea... My hero of the week Jack Bilings, 4 goals pivitol but saying his second half was based on Richo asking what playing for the saints meant to him, love. Villain... Jake Stringer, disrespecting a champion of the game and representing a mindset where the he thought the 4 points...

Let's put it out there. People haven't liked us much. Actually let's be more specific, we had characters that were universally loathed, and we were littered with scandals...many the which should and could of been avoided. The dwarf episode, I really felt like the contempt that (finally) arose...

Joey wasn't right, still played. Roo wasn't right, still attempted to play. Add that to the other injuries. 7 or more hamstrings... Reasons for concern?

Is there anything in Joey missing and Armo having a BOG performance? Not for a minute suggesting Joey gets filed away now until retirement, but is there an element of the 09/10 leaders being so significant and their impact so strong that it has held back the next crew emerging and/or caused an...

Boys are fired up. Why should GWS win? Gold Coast expected they would. Go Saints!

Just an opinion. Interested in yours. Maybe no excuses, no exceptions, zero tolerence...will actually see some of these guys get rehabilitated. It's drugs, not baseball. 3 strikes? Yeah nah.

Open training at TBBO, bring your blankey...

Don't start many threads, but please indulge me in this one. I've been very hard on the Saints in recent years, frustrated at the lack of fan engagement, lack of communication, lack of corporate dollars and drive. I would like to congratulate Finnis and the reenergised staff supporting him...

All the prelim taught us, Port are way closer to a flag than North. Swans comprehensive prelim win over North was massively overplayed. Ports narrow loss to Hawks massively underrated. Next year may just be the year when others rise IMHO, I'm expecting the big shake up and new faces that...

Is all Lenny needs to break the all time tackling record. Thanks plugger66 for this stat. Nice record to retire with, should be able to achieve it now. Go Len :cool:

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/bombers-may-never-know-what-they-took-but-neither-will-asada-chemist/story-e6frg6n6-1226960614946 Bans and early pleas seem insignificant somehow. I'd struggle with the unknown.

Defence settling in quite nicely, midfield chugging along and winning contested ball and clearances most weeks... Forward line. Wins papered over the cracks a bit, what would you do? Savage presented himself as a great option for the F50 little pressure cooker. Tackle pressure good, knows...

Jones, Hayes, fisher, Gwilt, Geary http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-03-11/frawley-free-to-move Is that correct, firstly that Jarryn has been there that long, and secondly...that he remains unsigned? What a disaster if we lost him too!

If you're feeling a bit meh about the season, check out this video that a poster on SS found. I'm looking forward to the season, but it's interesting to contemplate the status the next coach/team will carry that win that second flag. Well done, love it

Did Scott Watters sacrifice this year for the greater good? I'll admit I didn't think the fall would be so sudden, thought we'd be similar to last year. However I am growing suspicious that much of this year was about resigning to the fact that we could either set ourselves for 10 or so...

The captaincy? Most people in any position of authority have been punished and/or gone. Should the leader of the players, the guy who goes about setting an example to his teammates, a very strong influence in the direction of his group, be responsible in some form? Won't be a popular opinion...

Said Tim Watson tonight on Talking Footy. That right there is this whole saga in its entirety. That SHOULD be the Essendon football club. No more threads saying "why, how, when" The imploring to external parties to elaborate on what THEIR players took, is a disgrace, and why they'll be...

I guess the part where he expresses some concern for the club and players is still to drop? http://www.essendonfc.com.au/news/2013-08-21/james-hird-statement The AFL today continued its trial by media of me with the release of the charges against the Essendon Football Club. My lawyers only...

Here is a link to Jobe Watsons statement http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-08-13/jobe-watson-statement … I actually feel really bad for him that he doesn't appear to know that Dillon said 'at this stage' and that there is still a chance the players could receive infraction notices down the...

Do your apprenticeship! Hird is a perfect example of someone, who had he immersed himself fully in learning the world that is AFL and different club cultures, would of been much better prepared and much more aware of what is normal practice in AFL land. Learning on the job is costly, not...

There will be a LOT of talk this week about Stephen Milne. It will dominate the headlines IMO. I would be cautious to bring him back vs Carlton personally, for his own welfare, not for any other reason. Can't help but feel crowd backlash will build all week, not sure he can win to return...

Definite wobbling of the head when no contact above the shoulders whatsoever. Would help stamp out the unhealthy obsession to win head highs that's creeping into the game.

Not quite sure when it happened, but it has. The result now seems dependant on if Steven, Mcevoy, Armo, Stanley and Geary play well. It used to be the top tier, but they have been playing well. The positive is that this younger group have formed into very important pieces in the St Kilda...
