Re: The Age says Clarko would like Ben Long at Norf

They took Guerra because he was a great kick.Clarkson also recruited Dew on the other HBF his theory was elite long kicks to beat the flood and get the forwards (buddy) in open space. Liehert used his thumping kick on many occasions to get over the press. Long does not only get a lot of possession'...

Re: AFLW Does anyone really care?

The girls are getting better. The game is ok to watch.
Still a long way to go.... but there is big improvement.

Very long way to go before I have any real passion or will celebrate success.

Re: Core Group of Players

Saints should look at list and work out when to have a crack. It is not next year. They can't trade out their future guns. They need experience They have good access to players through the academy. Use crouch Ross etc to teach these players coming through. Build a high performing base. Loyalty to st...

Re: Why are we looking to trade our quality player and keeping duds

Interesting they are seeking to trade players that have injury interrupted seasons. Eg gresh and clark The trade value would be down at the moment. Both have serious upside if they get them right.

Re: Jack Newnes delisted by Blues...

Doubt he will get another gig.
Serviceable. But there is no more upside. Realistically becomes a list blocker.
Unless he can being a coaching role to the ground ... which he hasn't given any indication.

Re: Ben Long Midfield

Enforcer. Good for pitch hitting in the centre.
Every good team has someone that causes the opposition to second think. That moment of hesitation.
Difficult role to play in today's game. Long does it well.

Re: Where to now for Billings?

Playing without confidence.
Has zero currency and is at the cross roads.
Has talent. Is there desire?
Could be used better. But needs belief in himself and a want to win.
At the moment is looking like a bust.

We have very little in the way of a backup with Ryder gone. The alternatives are just rucks and cant play anywhere else.

He drives me crazy.
Marks 50m in the clear.
Every single time he goes back and waits for a player to take the mark.
Rarely plays on. Never moves the ball quickly.

Re: Cheerio Matt Finnis - St Kilda CEO since 2014.

My issue is the wokeness and social justice. The talk about town at the moment is getting Clarko to Essendon as he will bring back the ruthlessness. Ruthless is not something that has ever been associated with stklida. Ross Lyon was uncompromising. Grant Thomas has that aspect as well. The coaches u...

Brad is now 30 and the best is behind him.
There is no way we would get a 1st round pick.

More like mid second and have to pay half his salary.

I dont believe our "foot skills' are any worse than the next team, taking out goal kicking. Foot skills around the ground break down to structure and game plan. Is the player where I need them, or where they should be. Are they getting into a position that I can actually kick it to them. This r...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 22 2022

The coach that made the call to fire Lloyd as goal kicking coach for King should walk.

Was going to say uo there with all time classic bad calls....
Then realised which team it came from.
