Re: Saints v dogs
I just hope we step away from the too many small model. IMO it’s a loser strategy unless the majority of those smells are elite Gresh, Lonie, Butler, Kent = too many too limited, easily edged out under pressure players. There’s room only for 2. One of them Gresh, the other is based on form and pers...

Re: now it’s Fake Crowd noise
Cutting to a zoom type screen of cheer squad/supporters in their homes, when significant moments/goals occur would help give the broadcasts some atmosphere.

Re: The Future of Our Game
Brain injury is also going to shape the look of the game dramatically too. Agreed! Having 6 less players on the field has to statistically lower the risk. By opening up the game, we'll see less of those in close repeated tackles and mauls which should assist in the area of head injury. Having fewer...

Re: The Future of Our Game
Seriously, I was beginning to lose interest in a game I grew up with before this & altering it even further would not be the game I love, besides golf, I'd happily walk away from a ridiculously changed product. That's the point of the suggested change to 15/16 aside! It is to bring back the typ...

Re: The Future of Our Game
So, I'm advocating a major cut in rotations, maximum of 40, as a way to improve the spectacle of our game. A well written analysis, and whilst I'm still a keen advocate for reducing the playing numbers for a variety of reasons, I'm also supportive of reducing the number of Interchanges or how many ...

Re: The Future of Our Game
I'm not sure about 15 a side St Plugger. I think that will be cutting it to such an extent that we would not see any man on man contests. It would become too free flowing to the point where it would be just keepings off. I may be wrong but I think the ideal number would be 16 on the field and 4 int...

Re: The Future of Our Game
Sixteen players on the ground for each team would end all (mostr), of the congestion and the champions of the game will be able to shine again. Especially the full forwards who have the ability to take contested pack marks. I would go as far as saying that Membry would become an 80+ goal kicker per...

Leave the game alone for f***'s sake. :roll: 15/16 aside is already being played in many junior and country leagues and AFLW because it works. Its the AFL and second level leagues that hold steadfastly onto 18 aside. Thats mainly because of the agreements with the player associations that quite rig...

Re: The Future of Our Game
15 players is correct, but more subs and a smaller field, scrap the points posts, a few rule changes and it's all fixed. Nah, thats the monarchists view Vs the republicans stance!

16 players on the field for each team and 4 on the interchange bench. [/quote] No, I don't agree! [This is a bit like which form of Republic we should adopt.] For me, it should be 15 aside and 3 substitutes. As per the Junior Leagues! One less from the Mids, Forwards and Backs.

Re: NRL CEO resigns - hands off Lethers you bum-sniffers!
One thing I know for sure is that if we/us supporters/barrackers/members don't do anything St Kilda will fold, or at best relocate to Tassie or merge with another team. If all the doom and gloom comes to pass, and it would be wise to always consider that an unpleasant outcome as likely, then I woul...

Re: Something positive....
I'm going to make a big call here and say that RoMa will be the best ruck we've had at St Kilda since Big Carl Ditterich in the 60's -70's. Big Carl had white line fever and real mongrel in him and I can also see a bit of that in Rowan. Nice Bloke off field but he'll make men stand tall around him l...

He frequently did that to many VFL "stars" of the day. In todays thankfully anti racist climate, he would have been an absolute superstar of half back with a handful of AA's to his name!happy feet wrote: ↑Sat 06 Jul 2019 7:03pm I remember Robbie Muir giving Keith Greig a Football lesson that day.
