They’re Just Umpires

Posted in AFL, Sport on August 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Hey Tim Lane, Stephen Quartermaine and Robert Walls (you especially Robert). And all of your colleagues who are radio and television commentators. The bloke on the left here is Ray Chamberlain. Or Umpire Chamberlain would probably be better. His name is not Razor Ray. Nor is his name Ray. Well, it is, I suppose, but [...]

Mick Malthouse – Where’s The Credibility?

Posted in AFL, Opinion on May 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »

I dislike Mick Malthouse, the current coach of the Collingwood football side. I dislike Collingwood too, but I’m not in the minority there. People have claimed I don’t like Malthouse because he’s associated with Collingwood. NOT TRUE! Did you hear that AN (you know who you are)? It’s not true. I dislike Malthouse because I [...]

St Kilda–That Was Crap

Posted in AFL, Saints, Sport on May 15, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Angry? You bet I’m angry? I, and about 38,500 others who part with a chunk of money each year for our St Kilda memberships, deserve better than the crap that was dished up against Hawthorn at the MCG this afternoon. I always like to approach things positively though, so with the intent of helping the [...]

The Saints and the Hawks will once again battle for the annual Blue Ribbon Cup when the two teams meet in Round 8 at the MCG on Sunday. The Blue Ribbon Cup was established in 1999 in memory of two Victoria Police officers Sergeant Gary Silk, a Hawthorn member and Senior Constable Rodney Miller, a [...]

Oddball Radio

I had to listen to the footy (St Kilda v Carlton) on the radio tonight, having not had to do that for a while. The choices were: . Drivel M (MMM) . Red Neck Radio (3AW) . Tobin Brothers (ABC) . Blokes Radio (SEN) I went with Blokes, with two legendary footballers – Dermot Brereton [...]

St Kilda Elevates Plugger To Legend Status

Posted in AFL, Sport, tagged on July 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Some of my happiest days watching VFL / AFL football have been when Tony Lockett was kicking bags of goals at Moorabbin. Those great memories make it easy to ignore all the bad things he did there as well. So it was fantastic to find out that he was elevated to Legend status at the [...]

Go Sainters – One To Go!

Posted in AFL, tagged on September 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

It’s goint to be an incredibly difficult, but really exciting week. St Kilda beat Footscray last night in one of the most nail biting sporting events I’ve ever watched. I checked my pulse during the game and couldn’t believe how much it was racing. So what’s on this week? I’ll need to see if I can [...]

Saints Training

Posted in AFL, Sport, tagged on July 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »

For someone who’s so fanatical about the St Kilda footy club, I guess it’s surprising I haven’t done any blogging about it, particularly as it’s been such a great season so far. Last Sunday’s game was just brilliant – so much hype beforehand and a standard of game that certainly lived up to the hype. [...]

Sporting Legends

Posted in AFL, Opinion, tagged , on July 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Some of our sportsmen deserve, by the way they play their respective games, the way they carry themselves in public life, and what they do for their sports after they’ve finished playing, to be given legend status. Two of those people have hit the news this week, for entirely different reasons. Ron Barassi has been [...]

Brendan Fevola – Nice Touch

Posted in AFL, Opinion, Sport, tagged , on May 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I listened to Shaun Hart and Robert Walls bagging Carlton player Brendan Fevola before the AFL game against Fremantle tonight. The general theme was his lack of discipline and off-field activities. I’ll certainly concede he’s no angel. Then I saw him running onto the field with a young lad who, going by his bald head [...]
