AFL Round 14: Overheard on a bus

by Ross Green

Of all the pre-match analyses leading up to the Geelong-St Kilda game, it’s a pity the conversation my wife and I witnessed on the 246 bus at 11pm on Friday night was not heard by more footy lovers. Two boys, a pint-sized 10-year-old and a wiry, devilish looking 12-year-old hopped on the [Read more]

By John Dunne
THE 6.10 airbus out of Tullamarine bound for the Gold Coast on Saturday morning housed a healthy contingent of the Richmond faithful.

By Josh Barnstable
Wow. It’s here. It’s finally here. The moment we’ve all been waiting for since about Round 5. St Kilda, unbeaten after 13 games, takes on Geelong, also unbeaten. Saying there was a big build-up to this match is an understatement, and there were even plans to relocate this match from Etihad Stadium [Read more]

 

AFL Round 14: St Kilda v Geelong: Cats by a whisker

    It was a great game as a Sainter. As living in Japan, I had no access to the coverage last night, but watched last November on Watch AFL.

    Forwards scored goals accurately and Gardiner has done terrific jobs. I hope current St Kilda squad play like them when footy is back.

    Thanks for mentioning the replay and relevant match reports.

    Watched it on Friday. A match of great defensive pressure rather than aesthetics. Saints too good.
