Re: Unpopular Opinion

Lucky we didn't waste a No 1 draft pick on him You would have to be stark raving bonkers to use a No1 draft pick on a key position forward who can't get much of the ball and can't score many goals. Lucky that does not apply to St Kilda then. The way our forwards go, Max King likely to be made To pl...

Re: Unpopular Opinion

He's ok. Have to consider injury and delivery. And he gets best defender. But we are a team full of B Graders with a B grade coach, so why pick on him. Most forwards look second rate compared to Nick who won so many games for us (and probably got AR and extension in the process). GWS are a class te...

Re: Unpopular Opinion

Probably not that unpopular. Why we havnt played a Longer / Marshall combo to give some support up forward is beyond me. Two terrible games where intercept marks have dominated us. Even putting Battle up there. No changes happen and unfortunately teams have now worked out our boring style. Marshall...

I understand that they came out and said that he probably should’ve missed last week... this isn’t an assessment on two weeks though, this is a look at his whole career with us.

Bruce just isn't that good. Outside of a few spectacular grabs and that 50 goal season (which I will get to shortly) he is severely overrated on here. - He isn't overly quick - Far from a reliable set shot - A relatively poor contested mark (outside of the few hangers that he's taken) We've all hea...

Re: Match Thread Saints v giants Round 7 2019

We were in it until the third quarter. It wasn't Parkers miss that cost us it was the 20 other inside 50's that we didn't capitalise on. Also Brown was #2 in intercept marks coming into 50 this year. Why the F was he omitted for? Gresham had a shocker today, he really did and if he gets dropped I w...

Re: Kenty

Is a shocking kick for goal... but constantly finds himself in scoring positions. If he was kicking straight this year, we would be hyping up that trade on here to no end.

Re: Match Thread Saints v giants Round 7 2019

Hunter Clark is reaaaaaally slow. Does anyone know what his outstanding traits were in the TAC Cup? Probably comes from a good family... He’s a very good player with ... horribly poor senior players to lead and guide him. And a Dribbler of a coach with zero idea of how to lead and motivate himself....

Which five players at St Kilda should get $800K a year? On potential you'd include Carlisle but on output and risks going forward, I wouldn't I'd go Stuv, Bruce , Steele, Gresh, and Billings What has Bruce done in the past 4 years that would put him remotely close to the top 5 players at the club? ...

Re: What about the Ruck?

Not sure why people think we need to change anything.

RoMa’s played in 4 games, we’ve won the hitouts in one game and we actually lost that game.

Right now we’re quicker, fitter and more mobile compared to our rivals. Why bring in someone like Longer who will only slow us down?
