Just watched the reserves and although the opposition wasn't much it was clear a couple things: Clark and Garcia in Crouch was good but needs another week to get a fitness base In: Higgins, Membrey, Clark, Stocker. Garcia Out: Sharman, Bonner, Jones, Paton, Collard B: Wilkie, Howard, Stocker HB: Na...

...... we just are not as good as people believe and again it showed last night. Blaming the coach is the easy thing to do and look how that has worked over 150 years . Clubs Like Geelong and Richmond stuck fat in recent years and now have silverware. We currently lack confidence also which is not ...

mids.- General kicking skills are very poor and slow ball movement mean that the defence gets set and if they give something up it is 40 out on boundary. Aside from Nas, Sinclair and Hill ( who is very good or very poor) we do not have mids who are good kicks, Windy, Ross, Crouch, are hackers, Steel...

Disappointment and passion often are not a good mix. St.kilda supporters are experts at this mixture and nothing good comes of it. To me as I said post the Hawthorn loss we just are not as good as people believe and again it showed last night. Blaming the coach is the easy thing to do and look how t...

21k and change.
14 and average weather means a decision about 4pm will be my call.
TV, couch , a glass or 2 of mulled wine and the remote to mute or change channel is sounding appealing tough

5 Years and 4 months, Serves him right. No sympathy for drug dealers. None at all. Saying if a good boy out in around 3. once again the soft judiciary of this country shows up. A lawyer recently got done for pinching $2m of clients money and got 6 year min 4, a guy get caught trafficking a massive ...

We have cap space available so surely the strategy is to target what we need at the top end. One of those things is a top 5 defender in the league. Howard is not that. Do i think he will come NO , but will it mean Carlton will need to overpay to keep him, YES. Similar for McCluggae which then weaken...

yes please

Aggressive trading to get up in draft - North have no big defenders Howard to north with pick swap in first round ( an example of what we need to do) So we then they have a big defender and we don’t? (I don’t think Cordy really counts: he is a utility player and is a bit shorter than Dougal) I assu...

I look at it like this following Stkilda is like running a marathon, suffering the pain as the kms get harder and harder, thinking will it ever end, imagining the joy and exhilaration that will be felt when your finish and with 500 metres left... snapping an Achilles collapsing unable to move and f...

How many players currently aged 25 and under do you see being regulars making a solid contribution in 2026 and which positions do weed need to fill when considering that group? 25 and under Regulars: Windy Nas Clark higgins Owens King Battle Poo Henry Too early to tell Wilson Hastie Garcia Collard ...

I think the forwards cop a lot for the appalling delivery they get provided with . King I thought was so much better this week, Membrey is our hit up forward and does the grunt work ( which many ignore) up and back. Hayes was way off , again a victim of the game style perhaps. Hastie looked a step o...

I actually think yesterday is a representation of where the list currently sits. It is in a progression stage and progression isn't linear. If you look at the list: 1 -50 games - these guys will be inconsistent and will excite fans with promise. The earlier they show a bit the higher the expectation...

Consideration to team balance is important. Especially with Sandy I feel it is more about doing what RL wants to see than being in the best players - e.g. Shoenmaker - heaps of stats but also read needs to improve defending , which if true will be the mark to debut. In : Henry, Dow Out : Hastie (nee...

I think we all agree Saturday was an odd feeling - got a win , which is a new thing of recent times, however the expectation based more on North's poor performances rather than St Kilda's expected a bigger more dominant win. North have a good midfield and solid ruck, Larky can be good and Sheezel is...

As the Dullbogs game was a weird time for some I made an executive decision to leave the tix and do the Freo Game. The St Kilda Football Club is delighted to host you at The Lounge for our Round 10 Sir Doug Nicholls match against Fremantle in the Horizon Room. Soak in the Saints game day in style w...

i would hope he comes back through the 2s as not match fit, and you can train as much as you like it isn't the same

Saints have said they wont appeal and accepted the decision. What gets me is the person in charge of the tribunal ruled that Higgins had a responsibility to let go of the tackle in the split second the ball is kicked. THE MRO is appalling and the tribunal this year have followed suit with some baffl...

According to this article on the AFL website, our pressure over the last 2 weeks is the 8th worst recorded since this started being measured in 2010 https://www.afl.com.au/news/1119457/the-heat-is-off-st-kilda-saints-pressure-plummets-as-worrying-trend-emerges I can accept losing when the players l...

Xerri is a good player but any doubt i think Marshall gets a week rest and bring in Campbell. Assuming King comes in for Sharman, then perhaps make a call between Cama and Hayes playing as a forward and back up ruck Why would you drop Camaniti he has been good up forward there is no good reason not...

Will be interesting to see how this plays out, if we manage to fluke it and not get any more serious injuries. Potentially available over the next month : King Wood Clark Dow Webster Paton Hayes Of the above list King and Wood are the only automatic selections in the 1's Clark and Dow will push hard...
