Re: The Blame game

Instead of looking to improve our player development and instead of looking towards our coaches to get the best out of the existing talent we have, we are once again (under current regime) looking to blame the players If the footy journos (including Montagna) want to continuously blame our woes on ...

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.

Re: Innovative 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 ...

Re: Coaches votes Round 9 vs Hawks

Scallop my only issue with your analysis here is the fact jack has only played a containing role once this season (GWS) he’s generally ran free or been tagged in all other matches. Have you got access to inside info on his role in each game? Nice. I'll be sure to follow all your posts more closely ...

You're a Webster fan Scollop, good on you. I'm not. I was not referring to his handball fail but thanks for highlighting it. He is too loose. Whilst he's a hard player, I think he's a dumb player in terms of disposal and discipline. You think differently. Paton over Webster? Can't agree there, much...

I don't agree with Paton being preferred over Dow. Paton was ok but I reckon Lyon wants him for a tagging or run with role Hawthorn have a pretty good midfield so not a bad strategy, but we recruitd Dow for our midfield. With Crouch out, we need to see if Dow can improve our clearances. We should b...

Billings does look comfortable at Melbourne. Looks exactly the same as he did with us. 15-20 disposals. Neat kicking and creative ball use. It's creative of you to think that Billings has creative ball use. Mediocre player 18 touches with 17 being uncontested and disposal efficiency of 61%....yeah ...
