Damian Barrett’s sustain towards our club is borderline visceral…wonder where it stems from?

I have to tell you. Its Disdain.
Sustain is when that guitar note just seems to keep going forever.
Or when Darcy Wilson can sustain a high speed through the entire game.

I stand corrected…my humble apologies!!

He was bullied a lot as a kid because he was an easy target. Now he bullies the easiest targets in the AFL, and that's often us because we have limited political power and no on-field success to fall back on.

Sad but true..

“I had never had a knee injury until the halfway point of 2023 and it’s amazing how quickly your knee can deteriorate if the wrong part of the knee is overloaded. I carried it through 2023 and had a clean-out at the end of 2023. It was lateral pain – the outside of the knee,” he told the Herald Sun.

“I had a clean-out and came back and then had a little stress fracture at the top of the fibula. And then I came back and had another ‘scope’ again and it kept getting worse.

“I got fit for round 1 (this year) but they were taking a lot of fluid out of it. At one stage I was getting 120ml drained and then I had another scope and then played three games in the VFL.

“We tried everything – anti-inflammatories, PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections, cortisone injections.

“It got to the stage where I started seeing specialists and the surgeon who did those scopes said once we start doing these it’s a slippery slope. It got to the stage where we were pushing shit uphill and I got three other opinions and they all suggested the same thing.”

“The club gave me lots of time and because I was contracted it was more complicated. If not I would have just made the call at the end of the footy season but if anything the club was really supportive in trying to get me to play another year.

Damian Barrett’s sustain towards our club is borderline visceral…wonder where it stems from?

The 1997 preliminary final comes to mind. He has also come to realise that his shitstsain of a club is spiralling down to extinction, or relocation.

In the past we were in a similar category to the Norf Melbourne Beggars. As we continue to improve as a club, and they continue to deteriorate, poor old purple head (named after the head of the male apendage, not the colour of a hair colouring accident, as he likes to tell us) can only try to drag us towards the abyss his club is already in.

A shallow, unintelligent narcissist who is extraordinarily fortunate to have any job in the AFL industry.

Big loss Crouchy. An absolutely ripping fella. Footy clubs are worse off when you lose blokes like him.

A good article on how our young midfielders are progressing compared to Dangerfield and Butters during their early years.

I was in shock, as usually the Roar loves to stick the boots in. But then I realised it was a Saints supporter.

Not sure it is a good article? Compares a bunch of fairly irrelevant statistics for players that played wildly different positions at times. Danger was almost exclusively a forward pocket in his first season. Just because Darcy has averaged more touches on a wing and half forward in his first year means nothing in relation to Danger's eventual ability. Same goes for all the comparisons.

I do agree with the premise that our midfield is better and can be better than it is rated but the arguments in this article are flawed and misleading.

The comments beneath the actual article some up my thoughts nicely.

Yep, Dunstan outperformed all of them, averaged 18.76disposals and 3.75 tackles his first season over 16 games

His comeback from the VFL was one of the most positive reactions i've seen.

His turn around in form was extraordinary. He went out of the side barely touching the ball and looking as lost as any young player in the league and came back more than doubling his output and looking the equal of any of the young guns of the comp. After his return he didn't get less that 20 possessions in any game.

His attitude and self belief are perfect for a champion player and now performance is catching up with the other stuff.

 

[gringo2011]

He also sooked it up when we took Nas over local boy Sinn!

To be fair to GH he's financially supported the club through memberships and donated money to lots of the tin rattles. He's tough on us but he tends to be tough on most under performers. He's like a less blatant Kano. He tries to be more of a tough but fair type. I find him a bit un-engaging on radio but he seems to actually stump up for his childhood club. You don't see many St Kilda supporter media types names on lists of supporters who pay up.

 

[gringo2011]

Finding out LDU was a Hawks supporter growing up makes me not as bullish getting him too the saints. Seems like they are going after Hawk supporters to sell them the dream, Mitchell being the one selling you the dream makes it even more exciting. I think over the next couple of years Mitchell is going to be snaping up players through trade and free agency. Also a thought I unfortunately have with Tauru, as i have no doubt Mitchell will be selling him the dream of being Sicely's replacement.

Since the end of the season. Mitchell has sent players and coaches into elite sporting organizations across the globe. This is on top of Mitchell already being mentored by Ange Postecoglou. Which is why I think a lot of people are sleeping on the Hawks.

They way they play football in how they carry themselves on the field is the polar opposite to us. It will be interesting to see what method prevails.

They don't need LDU and will need money to keep their young list together. Their midfield is as good as any right now. They'd be much better served chasing another gun tall forward.

Brad Crouch calls time on his AFL career, while SANFL ruck Harry Boyd gets a shot to train with St Kilda this pre-season. Plus, could Max King thrive in defense? Dermott Brereton thinks it’s worth a look.

Article in the sun about Battle, typical sun great read about nothing.

Battle loves the saints and then gives us a nice slap, he left because amongst other reasons Mitchell and the hawks are the family club. Their morals etc align with him, they don’t just talk about it but prove it through their actions.

Frankly he comes across as a bit dim, I hope for his sake his form holds or he’ll be in for a rude awakening about the family club.

I really hate hawthorn, very hard not to hope they have a terrible year.

He/his partner are getting paid basically under the table through hawthorn connections. It's no coincidence Lyon was talking it up in the media recently.

Theres a lot of cap rorting bubbling under the surface with some of the clubs and its a matter of time when one of them accidentally leaves the wrong book open like the Essendon saga and shit hits the fan.

Obviously don't have a subscription and now we can't paste it here I'll never be able to read this article but lol wtf.

How could he determine what a 'family' club is from the outside... feels like he's using his partner and kids as reasoning for all his decisions but it doesn't even make sense.

But whatever honestly gotta stop wasting seconds of my life thinking about an opposition player now.
