With all due respect, Battle at his height can get away with playing a CHB (nominally) But it is another matter playing as a key forward at that size where you have an opponent focused on spoiling (at least) And Owen is 191cm, so smaller again In regards Ratts and defence, during the season in Quee...

IIRC when RTB first came to coach us, the saints' fanbase was expressing the same sort of sentiments seen here. He inherited a very talented list from GT and promptly took the team to.......ninth. He was seen as being to negative and defense based, producing a boring style that mimicked the Swine's...

Lots of talk lately re our woes is it coaching ? Lack of talent? (probably bit of both is the beige reality) that said I thought N Buckley said it nicely this week on Fox when asked what the results might be if Fly swapped with Lyon…his thoughts were….Lyon would go considerably better with Pies and...

To put the bulls*** to one side AND identify the idiots who promote it, Ratts NEVER presented that St Kilda had a “top 4” List I can inform as fact that Brett, in his final season, presented to the Board that our List ranked 14 of 18, and an improvement based on the recruiting of Hill, Ryder and Cr...

Put a fork in him, hes done. Taken a middle team and turned them into a bottom 4 side that cant score. For reference Geelong without a bunch of their best players go to Darwin, get flogged by 60+ points and still manage to kick 100 themselves. At least their supporters have some goals to cheer. We ...

Silver lining. We should get a soft draw again next year Maybe. I think hawthorn will be a powerhouse next year and the remaining decade after that. Will probably cop them twice at this rate. North and west coast should also improve. To be honest last thing we need is a soft draw It’s fools gold!! ...

So Teffers Are you saying he inherited a bad list Ipso facto Ratten had a poor list Meaning it wasn’t his coaching - it was the list then too… right?! Ratten's defensive systems were s*** and he didn't know where our List was at. So it had a bit to do with his coaching. In hindsight Richo was a bet...

takeaway, Staying conservative in your thinking is not the answer to St Kilda improving. Considering Brad Crouch as our 'best inside mid' is flawed. Windy was only in his second year, Sincs was only starting to be used in the middle and Steele was injured. Crouch is fading just as Seb Ross is. He a...

So there we have the reason for the vitriol against Lyon “Showed his true colours and ran off to Freo for the money” Yes, Lyon took poor financial advice and found he and his family in a compromised financial position (living with his parents as I recall) And, given those circumstances, Freo came w...

Oh the sooks will hate the truth
It doesn’t suit the narrative

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...

Farken hell. Sack Lyon and replace him with who? That's been St Kilda's story for the last 100 years and it's yet to work. In the eyes of Einstein this is the definition of insanity! Bang on!! Frankly, and I say this all sincerity, I don’t care if Atilla The Hun coaches us…I just want a flag ffs I ...

Really interesting take from Joey on First Crack Reckons ball transition isn’t our main issue Suggests the issue is we lack players with the ability in congestion, contested situations to take the ball from inside to outside aka why we rushed Dow in You are changing Joey's message His message was a...

The 'reasoning' for the list going backwards this year was partially explained. Last year was "have our best crack with what we've got, see what our ceiling is". This is year is "play the way we want to win our next premiership, even if we don't have the skill level for it. Prioritis...

A BF perspective Everybody is blaming Ross tell me who else is out there that is a good coach that we could get. Look at nth melb they got the meisiah clarkson look where they are. Nathan Burke said it on radio last night ross inherited a s**t team thanks to previous coaches etc he has a plan That'...

BF for the dumb ones on here sacking the coach in yr2 ***** As has been mentioned before, I do see Ross being the Paul Roos at Melbourne-type figure to fix this club and put it on the right track. Is he the bloke who wins us a flag? Unlikely, in my opinion. However, whoever takes over will have the ...

People who can’t see why the club move both Richo and Ratten on are clueless 6 years Richo 3 more shyte years of Brett Both telling the Board we were top 4 - horse shyte That’s coaches saving their arse Both involved in decisions to top up with Jones, Howard’s, Hannerbury etc at the expense of draft...

Lyon should’ve come down on the field and executed a 20m pass for them
I blame him
