Can we please stop referring to our players as "Spuds"...."List clogers" ect.....They may not be up to AFL standard, but the work they put in to better themselves and become better footballers cannot be doubted...

I know you don't have to have played this game to be critical or have an opinion, but at least give them the respect they deserve.......Most of us would give our right arms to have the chance.....

With you on this, don't like those terms either. Argue the merits of the player without the rather inane name calling.

Indeed, he's a list-clogging, one-trick pony spud-dud.

I am with you both on this.

In any of life's endeavors there are going to be a full spectrum of abilities and performances: every team has a list and someone will always be the least well performed.

I am far from being PC, but I do find these terms offensive - the guys are I am sure all doing their best, and have reached levels most of us could only dream of.

The list manage will sort them out in due course.

Thanks to every player on our list for their contributions, however small.

PREVIEW: Fremantle
PREVIEW: Fremantle

The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda
THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

REPORT: St. Kilda
REPORT: St. Kilda

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
