Goddard rarely played in the midfield Was a wing who often dropped back and played behind the footy Goddards thirst for sucess and drive were second to none, but I firmly believe he seriously over rated himself and impact on games. He played as an unaccountable hbf, who if he had to defend often go...

I would drop Gresham for Peris, I think Peris would excel in the quicker more expansive games at Marvel. Bring in Paton to play bp and give Stocker a run in the midfield. Move Sinclair to a full time mid role also and Ross to his hbf. Howard gets to reprieve himself simply because he is the best mat...

Its amazing that a club can consistently stuff up nearly every draft they have been to in the past 20 years. When other clubs have had midfield hits every year either via the draft or trade. We have had possibly two (Ross & Steven) very good mids in the past 20 years. Owens, Windhager, NWM, Phil...

Cordy is no better thats our issue. They may give him a chance but playing Brisbane next week I doubt he has the endurance to go with Daniher or Hipwood. RTB obviously wasn't impressed with Dougals game tonight, so Cordy might get a chance.

A good article on Bergman Saynta, you could be mistaken to believe it was written by a Power supporter. In any event it gives another perspective into his strengths, but I still dont see him as a list need or a player we should be chasing. If our clubs List Management group cant see that we desparat...

A win and to get back somewhere near to the level where we were playing in the first 6 weeks would be nice. It would be the first time we have won back to back games since then.

Just as a comparison Bergmans best average stats vs Nick Coffield best average stats - Disposal averages Bergman 16.05 per game vs Coffield 15.22 per game Disposal Efficiency Bergman 65.3% kicking 63.8, handballs 69.1% vs Coffield 83.2% kicking 78.9% handball 94.1% Marks per game Bergman 5.77 vs Cof...

I agree with others suggesting Steele needs to be rested. He is obviously playing restricted and is not himself and its showing in his games. Consistently throughout the year RTB has been 'chest beating' suggesting this season was a year of exploring the list. Well how about being true to your word ...

You would have to assume Gresham’s manager must be whispering in these journos ears seems like every week he’s linked to a team. Is this to push up the price or to get StK to commit? I dont want to lose Gresham, but I dont want the club to be held to ransom either. There is no doubt he was struggli...

Talk on SEN Carlton has a very strong interest in Gresham. Sam Edmunds spoke about this becoming an opportunity for StKilda to get Miles Bergman. Thoughts on who we’d prefer. IMO Gresham is just about to hit some form and Bergman according to the stats guru's is one of the worst kicks in the compet...

Could be a real tight one.

Just another mile stone game the Saints. Hopefully them playing two back to back interstate games takes its toll and we can get the chocolates.

Every game will be tough, we cant allow a lapse in effort as we had leading into the bye. We are the sort of club that will go to Perth and drop a game against WCE. They need to play consistent high energy football and hopefully we start to slowly inject some other important players leading up to th...

I am hoping the Hawks beat Brisbane today? I think they are more chance of dropping a few games than Port.

Buller looks the goods went at pick 15 we would have had pick 11 but preferred to keep all our cot cases and not enter the draft. Highmore and Sharman our best, Paton got a fair bit of it but butchered a lot of disposals. Bit early to make a call on Hotton but doubt if Keeler will make it, Heath a ...

His first game back I thought he did well. His 3rd quarter was the quietest with 2 poss but otherwise it was an even game. He actually won more clearnaces than Steele with half the amount of centre bounce attendances. Seb Ross only had 1 more possession and the coaches seem to keep throwing him in ...

Great win last night against the odds IMO. I usually hate Thursday or Friday night games as it can ruin your weekend but get to bask in glory for a long weekend is great. Will be a tricky one if Butler gets rubbed out as to who comes in . Billings must be spewing as obvious replacement. As RL prefe...

What did you make of his 15 disposal game last night? Ya think he’ll be a regular starter? In what position? His first game back I thought he did well. His 3rd quarter was the quietest with 2 poss but otherwise it was an even game. He actually won more clearances than Steele with half the amount of...

If he can keep putting games together like tonight - he will get a good contract offer at the club.

Hotton will only have to be a middle of the road midfielder, who turns up consistently to be a better player than Billings in my opinion. Billings is the classic historical St Kilda player who looks good in a bad side and supporters cling to him because they have nothing else to be positive about. H...

C/- of The Cobra on BF - Training today: Went for about 90 minutes Enthusiasm was good New fitness guy did the warm up Training generally seemed to be at a higher intensity than the last time I went 5 on 5 handball keepings off drill in a small space - pretty much full on pressure with tackling Owen...

CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Tue 06 Jun 2023 4:30pm Thats a surprise. At least we won't have to listen to why he hasn't been picked.

The issue is he wont be playing any where to increase his trade value and we may end up stuck with him for another 2 years.

Tony said on BF that the trained yesterday and will again on Tuesday. Be nice to get a report on the players returning if anyone was down there? Does anyone know why VFL schedule there byes to align with the AFL? Surely the clubs would prefer to have their VFL players playing a game during the AFL b...

Any dominant midfielder would be a bonus!

It would be a shameful decision for SOS to bring in Jack, surely even St Kilda FC arent that stupid?

His last month has been poor by his standards Crouch has been average Steele inconsistent since returning Gresham has been poor as a mid Sinclair was ineffective last game as a mid Clark - has been ok - nothing special Whole midfield group has been struggling Not sure why that is, maybe Lenny and L...
