Damn you for making me notice it. It drives me nuts now!!

Just called Bailey Williams. 

There's only one player on the ground with that surname.

Thankfully Bailey Smith isn't playing.

Because WAL ... it sounds so "Speshhhhiiial"

Hell of a celebration by Jones.

Looks like free kick Bulldogs is back in vogue, currently 10 to 2.

Both are very poor defensively so the Saints should be able to claw a fair chunk of this back if they play fast smart footy

I find it ironic Joel Selwood would give advice on how not to draw a high free kick like its something he never did.

A bit like Leigh Matthews carping on about not hitting people behind play!

If I were a St Kilda fan, I don't think I would have survived the 2004-2010 period with zero premierships to show for it.
Just imagine we lost in 2021 and exited this period with no premierships. It would be intolerable.

I have a few friends who are Saints fans who have lost all interest in the club since 2011. So sad.

Gee dogs, wish you pulled out this performance last week.

[The heart beats true 18,128]

This is classic Dogs under Bevo. Needs a ‘backs against the wall, us against the world’ mentality to get them up.

It’s consistency that’s there issue.

Fortunately for St Kilda my 4  Sainter mates have stayed as members.

Storm up by 6 at the break.

This will be a laughable opinion to many, but it’s why I don’t think Ross Lion is all he’s made out to be. He took over saints after all the hard work had been done and no flag. 

Then leaves when they start going south. 
 

Then he inherited Freo after all the hard work had been done, no flag. 

Then leaves when things start going south. 
 

If he wins a flag after returning to the saints then I’ll own up to how dumb this comment is. But that’s an ‘if’ he gets them to win a flag but…
 

That St. Kilda team in the 10,11 years especially, was filled with so much A grade talent, it’s actually absurd they didn’t win a flag. And that team was gifted to Lion just like Freo. 
 

No flags.

Classic Bevo

Not sure if the TV commentators have mentioned it (as I'm listening via SEN app) but there was absolute bedlam for people getting to the ground tonight. Power outage on the train lines and the trains weren't even stopping at Southern Cross before the game. Then everyone jumped in their cars and the roads were stuffed. Hence pretty poor crowd.

[Dingo 1,059]

Shambolic I

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

I know a lot of St Kilda supporters 

i honestly don’t know how they can be bothered 

They were Favourites to win this earlier today…

They did this with Easton Wood. They never called him ‘Wood,’ It was always ‘Easton Wood.’

[Diamond_Jim 12,591]

The funny thing is that for all their problems... Dogs are only one game behind us

By the end of the weekend we will probably be 8th

It's a long season

Probably the Sunbury line DW.  I use it for work and every day there's either an illegal trespasser on the tracks, a police incident at a station or a power outage somewhere that shuts down the line on the way home.

It tends to be players with surname type first names.

I first noticed it with Mitchell White of WC Eagles about 30 years ago. Continued with Fraser Gehrig et al. Although that BT moron used to call him "Fraser" sometimes. 

This discussion is more interesting than the carnage taking place at Doglands.
