Re: Casey Demons v Sandy
Hayes has some knee issue yeah? Anyway What I heard at Q time really pissed me off, and is symptomatic of the problem at StK 9 goals in the first Q and a 2 point lead Coach not happy the free flowing game, wanted to close it down. “It feels like an up and back game, that’s because it is, and that n...

Re: Selection
Very puzzling indeed. Crouch, Clark and Jones all best 22. Can only assume they're not considered match fit. Or we are tanking

Re: Match Day Demons v Saints
This is getting ugly, but what can you expect? Arguably the best midfield in the comp against one of the worst. I'd like to expect some effort, leadership, and pride in the game. You can do all that, but sometimes it just comes down to class … or lack of it in our case. This is like being back in t...

Re: Which ex saints would you draft?
I was thinking based on biggest needs right now. I.e. no midfield, rather than just the best 4 players. But the greatest player in the game’s history would make a difference to our forward line Crossy. As would Rooey. You could move Max King to second ruck. If it were four midfielders, I’d go Harve...

s***, how could I forget Plugger. Played for us until 1994, so just makes the 30-year limit. How careless of me. So, Lockett, Harvey, Hayes, Riewoldt .

Re: Which ex saints would you drafr
Lenny, Harvey, Goddard, Riewoldt.
Course would like to grab Dal Santo, Gehrig, Milne and a few others. Sam Fisher would go close, but I’d have to pass as he will be available only for home games for the next few seasons.

Re: RoMa in the ruck
Marshall must be operating under instruction when he grabs the ball and hacks it forward. Either that or he hasn’t been instructed NOT to do it. Whichever it is, he’s our only elite midfielder as it stands. I’d have loved to have seen Crouch and Clark added for this week’s game. I’m assuming it’s on...

Re: Jon Ralph is a tool.
From what I’ve seen of Jon Ralph, he is a pretty fair-minded guy. What has he said that can’t be backed up do you think? I guess it’s like, we’re allowed to criticise our own, but look out anyone else who does. These guys are paid to report news and to have opinions. They’ve got to find something to...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
So in a side which struggles for potency up forward... Scollop would like us to take the forward who just kicked over a third of our score and move him to the midfield because he wins contested footy, which incidently is a stat we have won the last 3 weeks in a row. Owens over the past 3 weeks has ...

Re: Innovative or perish. Part 2
The worst thing St Kilda could do right now is go backwards. I don't want to see a midfield with Seb, Steele and Crouch. I think there is a growing chorus of Saints supporters crying out for Owens to be used as an inside mid. I don't want him to be the second ruck. It's like the Blake Acres debate ...

Re: RoMa in the ruck
Perhaps the fact our mids are struggling to win clearance and we played a very good midfield has something to do with this tactic. Without Crouch we lack clearance strength so to negate this perhaps this is the tactic which has been used.? I think it has everything to do with it and he is probably ...

Re: “Innovate or perish: Why the numbers just don't stack up for Ross Lyon“
As someone who witnesses training twice a week I can assure you it’s not the game plan. The training drills and ball movement are fast, in some cases kamikaze speed. It is basically all out attack. But obviously the defensive part of those drills are less than frantic as injuries would happen all t...

Re: Is it the midfield, or our forwards?
As far as I can tell our midfield is setup to try and negate rather than do anything constructive I get that our midfield is not flash but they need to play with some freedom and dare Coaches need to stepup and make proper use of what we have Crouch, Clark and Ross will make a difference and make u...

Re: Is it the midfield, or our forwards?
Last night there was hardly ever space for our forwards to lead into. Our indirect, sluggish and uncertain ball movement allowed the Dockers time to crowd our forward line. They then scored with ease on the rebound into a wide open forward line. Forwards need space in which to operate. Congestion is...
