Their spine has never been threatening. May, Tomlinson and Lever down back and McDonald, Weideman and Brown up front might be the best they've had for a while.

Melbourne have a list of cloggers already.
One more won’t hurt.

Good on him for persisting though as it’s a good story.

The old saying, "do as I say not as I do" doesnt cut it these days I don't think.

I'm one the biggest Stewie Dew fan boys but I tend to agree with you.

Who would have been the last severely out of shape AFL premiership coach.

Interestingly its not uncommon to see managers in world soccer/cricket who are larger than life but a lot less common in the AFL.

St Kilda are set to begin their season without either of first-choice ruck pairing Paddy Ryder and Rowan Marshall, with Ryder to spend several weeks away from the club on personal leave.

We've all seen the footage of someone throwing a lollie at him in the coaches box.

I was working at the Grange Hotel (then part owned by John Platten) on the mad Monday after Central’s first flag in 2000.
I could tell some stories :lol:

I saw Ryder at West Lakes shopping centre this morning with his partner and kids, he's obviously here to spend time with family?
