Red, White and Black

[thequarry]

I've been writing this blog with a friend since the beginning of 2010 (although it was pretty rudimentary at the start): http://redwhiteandblack.com.au/

Match reviews and thoughts/feelings (mostly whinges) about following the Saints week-to-week, some longer-form posts too (decade reviews, AFLW entry, etc.)

We had a server calamity over summer so are slowly building back what we can of the 11+ years bit-by-bit, going backwards from last year (and had to restart with a very basic template for this year so far).

Hope you get something out of it!

I wrote a piece/reflection about what 2021 and Melbourne's premiership means for St Kilda for the blog this week, hope you get something out of it:

, Brad Hill, a shifting media narrative around the Saints, and what the win might (or might not) mean: Only to defy

This week's review was very tough. The ghosts of 2017; the inevitability of it all; the Saints' sins interstate; and Max King

and Jack Higgins: Who pulled the curtains?

I wrote what became a dissertation (lol) on following St Kilda throughout 2025. I'm posting it over two parts this year because it got so long. Here is part one - Summer and Autumn, a week-by-week look at the (brief) rise and fall of a season, breaking jinxes, losing the unloseable, the lowest crowd and taking it all in through a new media and social media landscape: https://redwhiteandblack.com.au/2025/12/01/2025-season-review-part-1-love-takes-miles/

Here is part two of two.

I ended up writing around 20,000 words in all.

Winter and Spring (and some Summer): the Miracle, and what it could mean; Nas; Tauru season; falling in and out of fashion; and St Kilda making its move.
