Re: Players in question for 2025?

Another interesting stat on wheeloratings.com/afl is the disposal efficiency team stats St Kilda is second last for DE by foot. It's in the disposals section under 'Kick Eff %' Surprisingly Geelong are third last :shock: ...so I suppose that stat in isolation doesn't mean that much. I don't know why...

Re: Players in question for 2025?

We're bottom 4 for Score Launches.

We're bottom 4 for goals per Inside 50's

We're bottom 4 for shots on goal per inside 50...

But yeah... it's Membrey's and Sharman's fault

Re: Marshall

Campbell deserves a game if Marshall is out. Agree particularly against the weaker sides we have coming up. But if RTB is true to form he will play a 1/2 fit Marshall, have him hobble around for half the night until they realise they have made a mistake. You left out the bit that describes what hap...

I reckon this thread would have been 6 pages long by now if the AFL hadn't hacked Saintsational last night

Re: Sandy v Bullants

Nasiah averages 1.9 tackles per game this year

Battle is only averaging 1.4 per game

That's worse than Riley Bonner

Re: Higgins Alir incident

He's also a barometer for the team. You wouldn't call him a leader, but he provides the spark that inspires his team mates.

He'll be badly missed if he gets suspended

Re: Higgins Alir incident

I've been really impressed with Jack Higgins this year. Not so much his set shot kicking, but his work off the ball and his contest work including winning loose ground balls.

His score involvements, his goal assists and his work inside 50 have been very good too.

Re: Higgins Alir incident

The AFL need robots and artificial intelligence to determine incidents instead of biased opinions by humans They probably won't do that though, because that will take away their ability to influence the MRO and the tribunal. Unless of course ....they rig the software and algorithms to make sure the ...

Re: Higgins Alir incident

Anyhoo…back to the specifics of whether Jack Higgins is guilty of a dangerous tackle? I watched it just now. Frame by frame. Aliir is being brought to the ground and he attempts to kick the footy while he is virtually horizontal. His whole upper body weight has now shifted direction because he chose...

Re: Drafting 25

Only St Kilda would flip flop from the general vanilla selection in 2013 to the total opposite extreme the following year, by taking a gamble on the most important pick of all - the number 1 draft pick. McCartin was someone with known health issues and well publicised fitness problems Edited bit in...

For nutjobs it’s either women’s fault or the dogooders fault or the greenies fault or the socialist lefts fault. Laura and Dillon are puppets.

Every club would have put Boyd, Kelly, and Billings in the top 3. ' Every club' feeds the media whatever the media expect to hear. They're not going to disclose their actual picks Only gullible supporters would swallow the excuses used by incompetent recruiters. Only St Kilda would flip flop from t...

Re: Higgins Alir incident

St Kilda fans are sick and tired of getting screwed by the footy world.

Higgins doesn't deserve 3 weeks for an accident that he had no control over.

If Allir handballs. His upper body weight doesn't do what it did. His head probably wouldn't have hit the ground

I'm watching North vs Crows on Kayo Fox Footy now saying he could be given 3 weeks because Allir was concussed Apart from the fact that other dangerous tackles recently only received 1 week (and in the case of Charlie Cameron he got off for being a good bloke)...we need to argue that Allir contribut...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing

Pou pick 10 in 2022 draft. IMHO Wilson has gone way past Pou despite Wilson pick 18 in 2023 draft and a handful of games. Garcia pick 50 in 2023 and a couple of games is as valuable as Pou and has overtaken Hastie pick 33 in 2023. It's not a fkn race You're not rated according to your draft pick Th...

When are we going to learn? It's not in Pou's interest or in our interest to play him week in week out. It's not helping the team, but most importantly he's developing bad habits and losing confidence There has to come a time that we wake up and stop making the same mistakes with talented youngsters...
