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"

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
