Re: Jon Ralph is a tool.
I think we were in advanced talks with Tom De Koning weren't we? Easy decision for him in the end. Why would you leave a club on the rise and go to a club in rebuild? It's going to take a lot of convincing...or a truck load of money (Weitering offer) to get a young star to come to us. I'm sure plent...

Re: RoMa in the ruck
Team vs Individual It permeates throughout the team if ALL players are sharing the footy. It’s a mindset. He’s able to pick an opportunity to grab the footy out of the ruck. It’s a really good talent that Roma has. Cotchin and Selwood also mentioned Max Gawn. They said Max could probably do the same...

Re: RoMa in the ruck
The team on Talking Footy just discussed the same issue. Show is available on 7 Plus on replay Joel Selwood and Trent Cotchin agreed he’d be more value passing the ball to one of his mids. Selwood was asked a direct question after they showed vision of Marshall’s clearances and he said something lik...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
Owens over the past 3 weeks has attended 8 center bounces for 1 center clearance It sounds like you are arguing the point well that Owens hasn’t succeeded as a mid. The only problem with your stats are that he wasn't actually in the centre as a mid. He was the ruckman Easy to misrepresent isn’t it?

Re: Play the kids etc.
Nice stat for those who think we haven't been doing enough to develop our draftees. The most matches played from draftees in the past three years has West Coast on top with 199 games, from St Kilda (186), Hawthorn (177), North Melbourne (168) and Adelaide (122). Where are you getting these figures ...

Re: Innovative or perish. Part 2
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...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
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...

Re: Innovative or perish. Part 2
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...

Innovate or perish. Part 2
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...

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...

Re: “Innovate or perish: Why the numbers just don't stack up for Ross Lyon“
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.

Players were free and chose to kick long to 50/50 contests instead of handballing to ...
