In the spirit of nnocking Melbourne for counting their chickens before they hatched i found this article asking if Melbourne had gotten ahead of themselves a good read. It might be wise for them to consider this before laughing at the misfortune of others, as no teams recent history has been more la...

Hey guys, I know there have been a number of reminiscences in recent weeks but I thought this was a pretty good tribute to our retiring icon. Recruited to the club amidst the fan fare of Malcolm Blight’s arrival as coach, his first season was played under the club motto ‘the ride of your life’. The ...

An F is a short sighted rating of the season. Was it a fantastic season? No Was it completely empty of positives? No In 2014 we finished last and were at rock bottom. This year we finished 11 & 11, our best was better than it was last year and so was our worst. We received greater contributions ...

He's 21 years old and has had nearly 60 shots at goal in 39 AFL games. Was he good on the weekend? Not at all. Is he the utter spud that people on here think he is? Also no. Is he likely to be Chad Wingard? Perhaps not, but how many players actually are. If only it was as easy as people thought it w...

Great analysis.

What an out and out champion of our club and the game. He has been an absolute professional throughout and will be truly missed when our season comes to an end. I saw this and thought it was a fitting tribute amongst the millions that will be shared in the days and weeks to come: Father Time is a mi...

It was not a great performance and another reminder of how far off the pace we are. I guess it hurts more after being teased by performances like those against the Tiggies, but that is what comes with teams trying climb back off the mat. While it hurts and it might seem apparent that the best course...

I thought this was an interesting take on the whole thing though, the writer has a fair old rant. The football world released a collective sigh of relief when Brownlow fancy was let off with a fine for improper contact with Nick Robertson. The consensus amongst football fans was that common sense ha...

So if the MRP decided that Martin didn't make any contact with Robertson's eye - then why didn't they charge Robertson with staging????????????? Has to be either contact or staging, not neither! Didn't the decide it was careless rather than intentional? When Webster's action was found to be intenti...

I thought this was an interesting take on the Riewoldt question. Dishonourable Mention 1: Deathriding stars It is fair to say that Nick Riewoldt's performance against the Bombers was not up to the high standard to which we are all accustomed from the champion forward. As a result of this we have aga...

I thought Jake again showed against the Bombers, why we were so keen to get him two years ago. The Bombers fans gave it to him all game but he kept presenting and was one of the few Saints that could be happy with their performance. I thought this was a good write up of his night here: Two years aft...

A far from happy night at the footy. I found this to be an even handed review of the debacle. A mere six days after setting the football world alight with a sensational dismantling of Richmond, St Kilda had no answer to the maniacal pressure and effort from an Essendon side intent on keeping their f...

I was one of those suggesting Hickey was close to All Australian last year, so his form this year has been perplexing. There seems to be a divide where there are some supporters in the "Billy camp" and others in the "Hickey camp" and they both seem to revel in the failures of the...

Call them whatever you like. But getting carried away after beating them is what is wrong with our club and supporter base. What is the point of barracking for a club if you can't get excited by them producing an unbelievable half of football. If you don't want to enjoy that kind of performance tha...

Nasty injury.

That is terrible news for Gilbo.

He has been really good for us this year, we will miss his efforts in the back half and pinch hitting in the ruck.

His interpretations of the words deliberate and prior opportunity seemed to vary wildly throughout the contest.

It was good to see him fight hard despite limited opportunities. It got the attention of this reviewer too. Josh Battle will have a tale to tell his class mates at Haileybury College next week after the Year 12 student made his AFL debut for St Kilda. With his Haileybury football coach Matthew Lloyd...

I found this an interesting preview. Five wins from their last seven meetings with the Bombers leaves the Saints with the upper hand come Friday night. With an average winning margin across those five wins of 51 points, it is clear the Saints are a bogey team from an Essendon standpoint. Based on th...

It definitely will be, the Bombers are a team we should beat, but if we aren't at our best they will hurt us.

If we are to play finals this is a game we simply cannot afford to lose.

No, he is not.

That isn't meant has a slight to Ross though, I just think Jack Steven is a better player.

THis is good news for St Kilda, because Ross is very good and not our best player.

Great win, really had to slug it out.
Here is an interesting take on the match
