St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt has called for the club to relocate back to Moorabbin for some of its training.

Fresh from the Saints four goal win over the Blues last night Riewoldt told Triple M Melbourne's The Hot Breakfast this morning that he'd like to re-establish a connection with the club's traditional home.

"Moorabbin holds a pretty special place, in particularly the senior players hearts, it was sad as a player to move down to Seaford," Nick Riewoldt said.

"It's part of our history and part of our heartland, it would be great to get back there in some capacity."

Wangaratta to host 2013 AFL match Post by: Triple M 16 March, 2012 - 5:21 PM

The AFL says an NAB Cup match will be played in Wangaratta in 2013. Well, it's scheduled to be played.

The league was left red-faced after Essendon failed to arrive for its clash with St Kilda earlier this month when their planes from Melbourne could not land due to the weather.

The 2013 match will be played in Wangaratta at the Showgrounds Oval.

"The AFL has been in regular discussions with the Wangaratta Rural City Council, since the weekend of March 3, and has now locked in a match in next year's NAB Cup," Mr Anderson said.

"The teams to be fixtured for Wangaratta will be subject a final decision when the draw is determined in October but Essendon has indicated it will seek to play as one of the teams scheduled at the venue."

The AFL and Essendon also says the City Council and the two Ovens and Murray football clubs directly involved would not be left with any residual expenses caused by the cancellation of the March 3 match.

"The City Council and local clubs had been preparing for the game for some months and put in considerable work to readying the venue, as well as purchasing food and drinks around the expected crowd for the match.

"The AFL and Essendon have determined to meet those costs incurred by the Council and the clubs, as they should not suffer any penalty for the match not going ahead."

Essendon Chief Executive Ian Robson said the club had planned a number of positive initiatives for the community in Wangaratta.

"We have indicated to the AFL our desire to play a NAB Cup game in the region next year and we will explore other community engagement opportunities," said Robson.

The Wangaratta Rural City Council said it was pleased with the outcome, especially for the two Ovens and Murray clubs involved.

St Kilda's Lenny Hayes Ready To Go Post by: CK 24 February, 2012 - 10:55 AM

St Kilda's Lenny Hayes is back after his horrible knee injury at the start of last season.

"Lenny's got that great low centre of gravity and that really strong core, if anyone was tailor made to come back in good shape it's going to be Lenny," Luke Darcy said on this morning's Hot Breakfast.

"Once you've torn your anterior cruciate ligament there will be some lingering doubt in your mind, first time you get crunched, the first time somebody falls across you."

"As you get through those little milestones you'll get back to it a lot quicker."

"I tore the graft the first time and the second time round was a lot harder because that doubt is there."

"But if he's got through the summer, if they're playing him first up, he's had that already."

"He's played all the intra-club practice matches, he would have been through a few of those hurdles."

"You get a bit of scar tissue around the graft itself and sometimes you get a bit of a rip on that."

"If he's playing first up I'm sure Lenny's absolutely firing and ready to go."

How do you think the Saints will go tonight?
