Re: Paddy Dow to play for Sandy

Do posters on this site believe Dow is best 22? I don't rate Dow highly, however assume he gets a run when fit due to the Crouch injury and our lack of midfield quality. If we can recruit/ draft some midfield talent I think he becomes depth. He is a midfield burst player that we dont have. Yes best...

Re: Phillipou

He plays the hardest position on the field. He is not a focal point and our game style doesn't reward spread and not in the right spots for turnover. Either needs a tank and go genuine mid or get stronger for forward.

Re: Gresham

Shiel at his best was a jet. He is the type of mid we are lacking. I'll back Ross to get him back near his best, if not his best and get 2 or maybe 3 good years out of him. If the rumours are true, that Essendon are willing to offer Gresham enough to trigger a 1st round compo for us (supposedly pic...

End of second round Compo (pick 37-40)

That won’t get it done with Henry- they will want our FRDP
Cant let Gresh walk for that.
I would match whatever they bid on and force a trade unless its 700k+

Re: Lies, Damned Lies & Statistics

If you were to look only at the game statistics (excluding goals & behinds) you would conclude that St Kilda lost to all 3 of the Dockers, the Doggies and the Dopers. That's because St Kilda had less of almost everything but still won the games with a comfortable margin. I did not see anything ...

We will always cop this tripe while we are an irrelevant club.
Win, take no prisoners as once we make it to the top (If we ever get there), it will be tall poppy syndrome as the media will still want to chop us down.

Re: From the hun's likes and dislikes

We should sign up Mason Wood, too. I would go another 2 years.
He gets knocked around here, but his good goes unnoticed unless he is kicking goals.
Does a lot of gut running and is always a switch option that is rarely used.
Great mark good size and great kick at goal. He doesn't miss many.

Re: Game Plan - Two Loose Men theory

the 2 loose men are generally behind the ball and to prevent quick turnover transition, or they are lazy loose rolling up or down guarding space.
