It's like that, I guess. I am a huge Lou Reed and Raymond Carver fan. When I read biographies of them, I wish I hadn't. I have Marr's White biography....

I'm a big Lou Reed fan too. I had a crack at Raymond Carver 20 years ago or so. Maybe I've grown up enough to try again, maybe not.

It might be just me, but having seen Van Morrison both here and abroad - what a grump! I'm not there for an intimate experience with the muso, but FFS, he could at least say hello.

My simple and biggest lesson from the Patrick White Diaries is don't. It's really quite deflating and I immediately had no further interest in reading/rereading any his novels. So enjoy them for what they are!

Anyway, back to the humour that is St Kilda!

 

So has this Brett Ratten thread turned into Ross Lyon now?

Honestly who cares. Close the thread. Such a irrelevant footy club.

 

Imagine the bloke writing up the Ross Lyon contract. 

So.... onto termination clauses...

With 6 months to go you can shaft us and go to Freo???  What?!

St Kilda suck. They’ve even made it hard for Ratten to get another job now because they left his sacking so late. Garbage club. They deserve Ross Lyon.

I reckon Brett should apply for the St Kilda Senior Coach position...

We were that club before intervention and Paul Roos. I really feel for their supporters. They don't deserve this. Rebuild then rebuild then rebuild then rebuild.

Sound familiar?

They're not irrelevant, they are essential to a vibrant competition as are Norf.

Be angry at the clubs that seem to get gifted a ride by the AFL.

Maybe there's a new thread. Would the demons have won a flag without AFL assistance? Mmmm

This. I can never understand why people want other clubs to be inexistent. A rich tapestry is the AFL, and we don't get to laugh at St Kilda if they move to Tasmania. I still miss Fitzroy.

I never finished Voss. Carver was a short story writer who died in 1988 or so. He, more than anyone, has influenced my writing...He was great at celebrating the ordinary things of life: bottom line domestic stories...

Yep, kitchen sink dramas. One of my favourite films, Short Cuts, is based on a collection of Carver's short stories. The Australian film Jindabyne by Ray Lawrence, also a good film, is based on one of the same short stories used in Short Cuts

I love Carver. What's he got to do with Brett Ratten Sacked by the Saints? 😁

The dramas will continue.  From the article: 

“They’ve brought in Geoff Walsh over the two men Lethlean wanted to run things. They’ve basically knocked back his first envisaged structure of the footy department.  “Now they’ve decided they want Ross Lyon to coach..."

It looks like Lethlean was overruled by Bassat and the Board and  Lethlean has a subordinate (Walsh) he didn't choose but appointed by the President.  Lethlean sandwiched in the middle!  He had better watch his back!.

Edited by Lucifers Hero

I have it on good authority they’re strongly considering  welcoming back Nick Riewoldt, BJ and Lenny Hayes as players. Baldock has also been discussed although there is some  debate at board level about his ability to run both ways in Lyon’s game plan 

The in laws are st Kilda supporters. Decent folks all round except when at the footy. Went to a few saints games with them and oh boy were they feral. A real eye opener

they were happy for me when we won last year so I’d like to see them win one as well. unfortunately their list is full of spuds and the game has moved on from Ross the boss. They’ll be closer to bottom 4 next year rather than top 4. Another rebuild looms


Ross Lyon and the Saints deserve each other. 
 

Total mystery how this club has ever won a flag. Massive overachievement that.

It began thus, Jontee mentioning Patrick White's letters:

Jontee, I am a very keen Patrick Whiter: please elaborate...

I am too, but you should take a look at the Patrick White Letters - two volumes. He was a mean, miserable [censored]

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
