Outclassed, but I thought they battled it out well. Membrey has been sorely missed.

Sydney play the ground well, and are at the top of their game with pressure and efficiency, and Sinclair had a blinder.

I don't think any other team in the comp would have got within 3 goals tonight.

Might be a life sentence for the Dockers if his body is stuffed. I hope Ameet has plenty up his sleeve - as much as he might not have been everyone's first choice, the melt on these boards will be epic if we get to the end of trade period and all we've done is give up next years 2nd round pick for ...

Feel a bit sorry for Hick after tonight. He was clearly very nervous and lacking confidence. Didn't help him that the midfield didn't show up. He had some bad moments but he was actually far from our worse tonight, and in the period where we almost looked like we might get back in it in the last qu...

Surely there is more to this than a couple employees ( executives) having affairs with a couple other employees ? Unlike the coward puncher who got sacked, which related directly to image and message to the public , this would be in house matter and i am sure no different to what happens at other b...

Joey has given great service to the club for 16 years, and whilst he has stated he wants to play on next year, said it was up to the club. Just normal business that goes on every year at every club. Hardly makes him "not a good bloke". Strange comment. Anyway, if he is fit, should go on, p...

Dunstan Yes
Longer Yes
Lonie No

Well done Billy. Won the hitouts by a fair margin against a 2nd game player but he is a monster who had 40 hitouts in his first game.

I agree 2012 was not good, but happy with 2013, Billings, Acres a couple of quieter games lately but has been excellent, Dunstan is a good solid player, Savage as an older player has given some good years, and Longer has been No. 1 ruckman when fit, best at hitouts, needs development around the grou...

Good on you Thommo.

Unfortunately you will always get ultra negative posters who must have real problems in their lives.

Best to let them go through to the keeper and move on to a more rational discussion.

<warning for baiting>

McCartin was easily the best choice. Easily. Of course he was. Very confident he will fully justify the choice given reasonable time to develop. He also needs to develop in regard to protecting himself, that will come with experience. I am concerned though if he comes good, or horror horror has to ...

Yes, the Hall of Fame is for model citizens like Barassi, Nicholls, Whitten, Dipper and er.... T Lockett, none of whom of course raised a fist or elbow in anger on the football field. If you adopt the criteria of some posters here, half the Hall of Fame List would be wiped out. Sure there are some ...

I enjoyed watching Baz play for all 3 clubs - real presence in the game. Deserves it. Leaving St Kilda is irrelevant.

Longer has played 8 games this year for a total of 7 kicks and 12 Marks. Does not provide anything after a ruck contest. Well, that's still one more thing than Hickey provides in he's current form!!!!! You are happy that the tallest player on our list averages 1.5 marks per game? I sure as hell are...

Of course. The biggest bloke in there clears a path for the extractors. His PIP stats are very good.

Hickey cannot compete in the middle with the monsters, Longer can - it's that simple. Plus, Hickey is not physically robust - in, out, in, out - having the skinniest tibia/fibula combo many have seen does not help. Longer's a combative bugger, and is physically robust. Plus, his stoppage ruckwork i...

I just don't see it. Yes he gives 100% all the time but what I see is his 100% is not up to standard. I still believe we have a better future with Hickey as he gives more around the ground. Saying that Hickey comes with his own areas that aren't up to standard but a better option in my opinion. Hic...

Easy. McCartin & Goddard

When we had a strong following in Tassie, and had brought over Baldock and Stewart, why didn't we get Hudson as well? Probably would have won at least one more. My point is every club has its draft/recruiting wins and losses, and St Kilda is no different, imo particularly recent recruiting has been ...

Even someone as dull as you should know. Is that the best you've got? Try contributing something. Your trolling of me is as tiresome as it is pathetic. 47 in six years? I think it's obvious what you are. At least I've added to your total. If it sounds like a troll, looks like a troll and posts like...

A typically insightful contribution. Another wasted post like the other 40 or so you've posted in six years. Are you ever going to post something worth reading? Or are you going to keep trolling a club you despite?

Are you replying to me or yourself?

Wow. What a waste of a thread

Steele has apparently had a bit of a niggle and has looked a bit tired last couple of games. Had a short pre season, so although "dropped", a rest might do him good. With Dunstan replacing him we won't lose much, may even be a plus if he gets back to his best. I rate Dunstan. Looks like Lo...

Petracca is a good player, better forward than mid field. Buckley did not really put a good defender matchup on him when he went forward today. IMO he is nothing special & certainly not a dangerfield or ablett, never will be near it. Proficient midfielders are everywhere, but good target forwar...
