Re: We Need a Gun Up Forward
Check the facts. How's their number one pick going compared to ours. Rising star and has played as many senior games in one year as ours has in three. Want me to go on? I could, but your posts speak for themselves. We didn't have No. 1 pick last year. If we did we would have picked McGrath. Paddy i...

Re: We Need a Gun Up Forward
We were crazy not to grab James Stewart when he left GWS. Essendon got him for a pick in the 60-70 region ridiculous. Strike another one up to Elshyte. The dopers have completely done us over in the drafting stakes over the past few years. The numpty reigns. Can't get everyone. Dopers completely do...

Re: What - no match thread for the EJ Whitten?
Pressure. In an AFL game you are kicking with 20,000 fans or more expecting and yelling for you to kick it, the other 20,000 jeering, in a game that means something. Ej Whitten you are kicking in a fun fest with the crowd half watching and not expecting you to kick it. No point comparing the two. H...

Re: What - no match thread for the EJ Whitten?
Surely the comparing of kicking for goal in the EJ Whitten game to an AFL game is not serious? Poles apart. What do you mean? It's kicking the same ball the same distance through the same goals? Anything other than that is bad technique or mental weakness, both which shouldn't be an excuse for play...

Re: The current St Kilda ITK leaks on Big Fish
No leaks is the sign of a well run club. I am confident all avenues are being explored to get the players we need. Very hard to land a big fish, especially in competition with the big clubs, but the circus has not started yet. In any event, most of our improvement next year is going to come from the...

Re: Saints look to lock in Paddy
The guy who, with others, was involved in drafting him, has not been at the club for years, so what would HE really know? The guy you are referring to actually left before Paddy was drafted. The guys that made to the decision to draft Paddy over Petracca are all still at the club. He left just befo...

Re: Saints look to lock in Paddy
I really don't understand this type of decision. Unless contracts are essentially worthless and its a ruse to try and prop up Paddy's self confidence? He is not capable physically at AFL level. What part of 6 concussions in 21 games can't we see? Character and talent to spare but he lacks resilienc...

Re: Competitive Will and Onfield Leadership
Hodge gone next year, also possibly Gibson, who takes their place in organising setups? You could say the same for any team losing experienced leaders. Leaders will develop further once the oldies go. Roughead, Bruce, Gunston, Mitchell's been handy? I reckon their potentials are better than Newnes,...

Re: Point Proven?
Agree, he played fairly well, but a number of his intercept marks were due to poor entry by Port, and the conditions were part of that.Johnny Member wrote:Jake Carlisle wasn't too bothered with the conditions.

Re: Point Proven?
It was a messy game. I think the weather had something to do with it. Stats are only any good when you are comparing like with like.
I agree there are some problems, but that comes with a developing team.

Re: A well coached team
Thoroughly enjoyed the match. Great surge in the last quarter, bit of inexperience in the end cost us. We were under the pump and responded, even in Adelaide. Very good learning experience, I wonder whether Montagna or Roo would have blocked or told someone to block the back of the pack to stop Gray...

Re: Our ruckmen
Big Boy did not have much opposition - Naismith was injured & Sinclair not a great ruckman and had his great game (as a forward) last week.
But Big boy does well within his limitations. Would rather have a 23 old Longer at our stage though.

Re: Rock Paper Sinclair
Swans had two late outs, which is disruptive, Kennedy got injured, Sinclair was never going to repeat his effort last week, Swans were due for a downer.
Nothing in it really.

Re: More Pleasure or More Pain?
Pleasure wins by a mile. Lots of downs, but even then we always seem to have one or two superstars to watch, from Baldock/Stewart through to Roo. The rises up the ladder are much more exiting because of the down years, and we keep coming back. I guess I have been lucky as I was there in '66, and was...
