Re: No Pressure

All our tackles are too weak. 95% of the time the player just gets hands away, or breaks the tackle. Would be nice if our players pinned an arm and dragged a player to the ground wouldn't it...oh wait 🤔 The umpires let the opposition do pirouettes and then it's play on 2 seconds into a tackle. It's...

Yeah nah...

Whatever you do, please don't tell us he's a ripper 😭

I like Pou. I think he's got the talent and the right attitude to make it as an AFL player, but I'm nervous about the way St Kilda develop some of our so called 'star' young players.

Re: Mattaes Phillipou

I’m not convinced he would even get more than 20 possessions in the VFL, but I don’t reckon we’ll ever find out Bet you he gets a spell soon. As soon as Dow and Clark are available. He's no where near being a first choice midfielder. Struggling as a forward as well, but I'm not sure if that's the r...

Re: King ...out of form or

Whatever it is, he's a liability to team if he doesn't sort it out. 1 soft goal from dead in front from a free kick early in the game and then nothing Caminiti kicked a goal last week. Match committee dropped him. He actually took 2 contested marks inside 50 last week as well. King didn't take any c...

Re: Votes v Roos

5 Sincs
4 Wilson
3 Hill
2 NWM
1 Hayes

Wood was great considering it was his first game back. Dougal was very good in his second game back. 13 marks 7 intercept possessions.

Marshall was important as was the captain Jack Steele

Re: King ...out of form or

I wonder if he's got the balance right outside footy and whether his attitude and energy reflect his personality. What does the guy do in his private life? Is he studying? Does he have a girlfriend? I don't want to know personal details. I'm not interested in gossip, but it's crucial that our develo...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Roos

So King gets to play as the number 1 forward and what does he deliver? I reckon we'd be better off with Caminiti. Trade Max at the end of this year. Get set for a few frustrating games where the coaches instructions are to look for Max at every opportunity. Don't worry... it's just a short term ploy...

Forget about the narrative that Freo 'also' got rid if him.
