Wrong spelling but can attract a crowd.

I'm reassured by the fact that we were blessed by the presence of David "I'm a skinny man" Calthorpe for one year. That was a real coup.

In the fullness of time we shall see.

As much as I loathe the way we are getting flogged week in week out, I think that might just be a bit alarmist. We remain the club with the youngest and least experienced list in the competition, and unlike Richmond, who went down by over 90 points tonight, we have just one Premiership player...

My goodness me, I will start, because what you have written implies to me at least that you disagree with his sacking. Imagine if somehow or other the decision had been made to retain him, irrespective of what he had (apparently) done or not done, how badly - and rightfully so - would our...

Might this have something to do with it? https://www.foxsports.com.au/video/afl/afl/scary-mitchell-cracks-it-at-scrimshaw!879965 I very much doubt if Allan Jeans, if he was still around, would agree with that approach from Mitchell. That may well resonate with a few of the young boys at...

Correct. Some ridiculous comments from some posters.

Replace him temporarily with Archer senior. Mightn't last too long in a game, but by golly there would be a few opposition blokes quaking in their boots when the great man arrived from behind to contest a ball.

It should be noted that part of the problem is due to the AFL (acting to placate all the other clubs) gave us that "magnificent" draft assistance last year, which stipulated that we had to trade those extra picks or lose them. Its called the "Clayton" (for those too young to remember this, its...

Goodness me. Reading the last coupe of pages here, he's a combination of Carey, Ablett Senior and Curnow. What a player. Future Hall of Famer then, although if he has some of the less attractive traits of Carey and Ablett, may have some rather unsavoury off-field issues too. Oh well.

He was terrific all day long. Played his heart out and should be rewarded by a return to the senior team and left there for the rest of the year. In a team that is crying out for some older experienced heads, if he plays like he did yesterday, then he will set the tone for some of our very...

Good idea. Put the other 3 there too and let the Captains make the calls instead. Couldn't be any worse a result.

While there will nearly always be a discrepancy in the free kick numbers in any game, 25 to 12 or an extra 13 frees, is the equivalent of having an extra player on the ground. Impossible odds to overcome.

Yes indeed. Amazingly good. If you are Sandringham supporter. I am totally fed up with the appalling state of the umpiring. Almost time to give following the game away.

By golly, reading through the last page or so, we are "really spoiled for choice" with the Saints. No wonder they are such a horribly performed team this year.
