It's eternally frustrating to see St. Kilda, year after year, still lacking the structure and skill execution that other teams take for granted.

If I don't see another snap kick from a Saints player in general play again in my lifetime, it'll be too soon.

Most Norf supporters on social media at the moment seem to count this round as a win because they say Ben McKay had a bad game and apparently that's all that matters

As someone who has watched every terrible minute of the Crows' season so far, North must be absolutely awful to make us look competent.

The amount of terrible decisions by umpires that goes on unchecked despite being live on camera from many angles in the modern age has got me wondering not only about what kind of massive stinkers occurred in the past that we know through what people said at the time but what might have gone on in terms of corruption and cheating when things could more comfortably fly under the radar. Are there any good writeups about this, or any good stories anyone knows? Doesn't have to involve umpiring.

Rory Sloane has finally decided to hang up his boots after having suffered yet another detached retina at the start of the year. Definitely the right decision to leave, although realistically his career has been all but over since the ACL injury in 2022.

Had a disappointing last few years, but there was a period of around 8 or so years from 2011 to 2019 where he was an absolute gun. You could put him in a one-on-one contest against any player in the league and he would ensure he either won it or nullified it. He was my favourite player throughout that period of time. He also took up the captaincy for a few of our most challenging years before handing off to Dawson. Thanks for everything, Rory.

I'm still 99% sure that it was me taking his Myspace pictures and posting them across the internet back in 2008 that caused him to set his account to private :allears:

It was a pretty impressive debut considering he didn't manage to kick the ball once.

I kept my membership through the whole drugs saga but if we pick up Thomas I'm cancelling. Also wouldn't begrudge any player who wants a trade to not play with him as a teammate or for a coach that backs him

Also teams frequently bring multiple WA players as travelling emergencies so they can visit family even if they don't play.

it's becoming more and more apparent with his stint at north and this podcast how much Roos' contribution to Melbourne was just "a guy you can't sack", allowing us to be bad with stability and anointing a successor with a lot of inbuilt political capital

It's not "we should recruit the first guy to get suspended for domestic abuse/harassment" bad, he just seems like he is very out of touch with the game.
