Good move

Might as well get used to playing there

It'll be good practice for when we finally make another GF

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...

takeaway, It's relevant because tony74 reckons Mich has poor disposal. The data points to Mich having higher contested possession percentages and STILL having higher disposal efficiency. You can be as dismissive and condescending as you like, it doesn't alter the stats Staying conservative in your t...

This is very interesting data Scollop, thanks for gathering the data. I had also thought that Owens was blazing away a bit last year, so good to know it wasn't really any worse than other players. I agree, we should be giving time in the middle to our young players to develop them, especially while...

Nice analysis. Cheers mate It doesn't make sense to say you can't use Owens because of his poor disposal, when you are currently using Crouch who has equally poor disposal We know Owens is still very raw. He has only played 40 games. He has upside. We have time on our hands to allow him to grow int...

When is Part III coming out? Give it another 6 weeks Some of the people defending the coaching group will start their own threads with ideas and solutions Could even be you Devilhead :mrgreen: David King was rabbitting on about Lyon needing to put NWM in the middle. He said it on Fox Footy and repe...

The worst thing St Kilda could do right now is go backwards. I don't want to see a midfield with Seb, Steele and Crouch. I think there is a growing chorus of Saints supporters crying out for Owens to be used as an inside mid. I don't want him to be the second ruck. It's like the Blake Acres debate a...

Out: Jones, Collard, Sharman and Paton

In: Higgins, Sebby, Skunk and Clark

I'd like to see both Lance boy and Coops play another game in the seniors. It's pointless bringing them in for just 1 game ...but we know what will probably happen

I put myself through watching the game on replay again. It's not too bad when you already know the result. Not as frustrating to watch 😎 Anyhow, I think our whole team is lacking energy and enthusiasm. It looks like a real grind and even a guy like Rowan (who usually flashes his pearly whites a coup...

Those insisting Hill wasn't at fault -- or at least the junior partner in this stuff-up -- might be right, as it's difficult to know for sure if anyone of Hill#s height could have marked Bonner's kick. Nevertheless, Hill has form in this area -- not straining bhimself if the delivery isn't centimet...

5 Marshall 4 NWM 3 Sinclair 2 Wilson 1 Owens Hammer was good with his 2 goals and his ability to inspire his team mates. I watched the replay and was bemused when he was rewarded a free kick when it was actually King who was interfered with. There were 2 separate 1 on 1 battles going on about 10 m a...

All Teffers wants to do is pot the players He was bullish on the list in 2023, but now they're all duds bar a handful of players Our form and game style is all Robert Harvey's doing ...and the talentless players The lack of development and lack of confidence has nothing to do with the head coach app...

Thanks mate Amazed this clueless git can’t even listen to what was said and get it right … Ross hatred doth blindeth some … We'll see who the clueless git is soon enough. You have been bullish on Lyon ever since he first coached us...I get that. You're not alone. The problem I have and many others ...

At the end of the day It was the 2014 draft that killed us I distinctly remember AR telling Elshaug we HAD to get the pick 1 right. He had concerns over Paddy’s weight and not overly dominating in is 18s year. Elshaugh was adamant he was our man. Hugh Goddard was a steal at pick 21 - did do an Achi...

Because he’s a bull and has very poor disposal. We have bulls-Crouch, Steele but we need speed and skill. Steele used to be a bull. As soon as Ross arrived he's asked him to become a run with defensive tagger. He's changed his body shape to suit. Owens will improve his decision making and his handb...

Fair Dinkum tony74. No accountability again from coach/coaches. Sounds like more excuses to me. Joey highlighted several incidents (FoxFooty 'First Crack' - the vision shows players in good position being ignored). Players were free and chose to kick long to 50/50 contests instead of handballing to ...

Once we win the ball back from turnover we are bottom 4 for generating scores When we win the footy from turnovers anywhere forward of centre, we are bottom 2 for scoring. Our stoppage players either need to drive their legs and find space rather than kicking it blindly...or we need handballs to fin...

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...

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...

..Sharman should be played deep forward and left there for four or five games surely that opportunity has been given in spades, he's just not up to AFL standard. He stood up in a final last year and played a reasonably good game. What other AFL standard are you conjuring up? Obviously, you are stil...

Stop it S_D

Ross Lyon hater

The same list didn't have these talent issues sitting top 4 last year. Building a premiership side is often like turning the titanic, but poor Ross seems to be steering it towards a bigger iceberg. A poster who is usually positive and who I rate on this forum I'd like to say the game plan sucks, bu...

You do realise JB has kicked bags of 5 and 4 And has 30-40 Brownlow votes He’s not a super star But he ain’t no dud either - he’s had Best on Ground performances in the AFL He had a couple of shots on goal. Still hopeless. One didn't make the distance and was a wasted kick. The other was his standa...

I get where you're coming from Moods. It wasn't an absolute shocker of a kick, but how many overhead marks does Hill take per game? That's not his strength is it? Anyhow... it's one incident. There are dozens of errors we can find in each game... even from some of our better players. I agree that Hi...
