I hope you guys have a fantastic 2024!

I hope you guys have another scandal that's even worse than the doping saga.

Apart from Russia, East Germany and the USA it doesn't get worse than the Essendon doping scandal saga.

Guys, please make sure we keep it factually accurate and call it a 'saga' not a scandal. Just like the Watergate saga, the Epstein saga, the Iran-Contra saga and the Second World Saga.

Saga

Fixed it.

Is there any way we can get Ben McDevitt involved at the club?

Was at a funeral of a very decent old girl yesterday. Was lovely to me as a kid.

North fan, her funeral guide was in the blue and white, and the song played as her photo montage played was your theme song.

I think even the clubs don’t quite realise the significant part they play in peoples lives.

It did however reinforce a view I’ve had for quite a while; that making people feel like shit for who they barrack for isn’t something I’m particularly interested in anymore.

Poking fun? Sure. Which is one of the reasons I love this thread (yes I know there’s some real bile beneath the surface there).

Anyway, may your loved ones be well…

…and your team be shit, peasants.

Get out of there mate. The club of thoughtful * posters is as lonely as the one for * finals winning coaches.

Already?.. just seems like yesterday...

The saga is a thing of beauty and so is the denotation of the * before any mention of that vile, cheating. joke of a *club.

Good to see Stringer burning it up in the rehab.group pre-season 2024.

Good luck today!
Great to have footy back.

Just like our game - it's early days, these aren't even real practice matches, can't read too much into them...but this is at least cause for some optimism.

It's a big win for the Saints!​

St Kilda has made an early statement with a 16.10 (106) to 5.10 (40) win over Essendon. We'll have the full match report for you shortly.

Great couple of days of footy.

Great couple of days of footy.

They missed the boat with this one.

 

[Hojuman]

Just saw Stringer running the boundary !

 

[Samsquanch]

5.10 (40) Essendon.

That's a Brad Scotts scoreline if ever I've seen one.

How did Goldy* go today?

 

[SpiderBurton22]

How did Goldy* go today?

Played the 1st half. Did what he usually does.

 

[Lomas]

How did Goldy* go today?

I finally had to break it to my 8 year old that Goldy is no longer with us today.

I'm disappointed, lads ... expected a bit more glee at the dismal * performance. Guess we can't take too much from a match sim, but looking forward to this thread kicking off again if the * foem continues

I wouldn’t worry to much, there’s going to be plenty of laughs ahead, they hired a coach that put us in a position of four spoons in a row.
And proceed to follow the same plan, they’re paying McKay, 1.5m this year, that sort of money is club killing. How can anyone on that list not demand more money.
