Re: Hunter Clark

I observed after round 1 that he doesn’t run straight at the ball. He runs a little arc, hoping that someone else grabs the ball and takes the hit. He isn’t alone and too many are soft and scared. We lose the free count because we are second to the ball.

Re: Thoughts on the game...

I watched Hunter Clarke and he seems to have a habit of not running straight at the football, but running a small arc, waiting for someone else to pick up the ball. Maybe this was just this match or is he reluctant to get a hard hit ?

At the moment, he is easily shoved away from the ball. I have confidence that will change as he gains weight and strength.

Re: Danny Frawley Centre at Moorabbin

If this is a facility that is open to the public, is St.kilda merely providing land for a mental health care facility. Why would they do so and occupy land that might provide a stand??
Is the centre to provide services to St.Kilda players?
Is there ever to be viewing areas for mATCHES?

Re: Geary

We have lost quite a few matches this year by less than a goal or in the final minute. a team really needs some onfield leadership to steady the ship, calm the nerves and stick to the game plan. I've heard people argue that while Geary can't kick and panics, that he is a leader of the club. Can it b...

Re: Geary should not be captain in 2020 because he is not in our best 22 (IMHFO).......

I rate Geary as a lock-down defender but not anything beyond that. His disposal is clearly an absolute liability. It's been amazing when he has played further up field and the opposition team allow him possession, which leads usually to a turn-over. I'd be happy if the captaincy was moved on to a br...

Re: AGM and financials

If we were to be relocated as a result of our debts, I would be ok with it. As long as we became relevant during finals and actually started to be a successful, i'd be happy.
It's better than being irrelevant and unimportant.

Re: Lade on preseason focus

I'd like to see not only accuracy, but low passes rather than lofted balls that get cut off or punched easily. For years the best performed opposition player against us has been the intercept marker. With some of the worst helicopter kicks off our list, perhaps that will change. I'll believe in mira...

Re: Training report... herald sun

It seems that many of the players that have topped the 3 km time trials aren't our best players. I'd rather Geary spent every moment learning how to kick and Phillips concentrating on getting the ball. Geary wasn't running in the time trial. :roll: I'm aware of that.

Re: Premiership clock according to the Hun.

I'm not sure why we traded so much for Hill as few think we are close to a high september finish.
Surely he is not considered likely to be around when we are premiership chances ?

Re: Jack Bytel's progress from his back injury

As a physiotherapist, I can say bulging discs can vary from causing no problem at all to more serious issues. I'd be more interested if they mean a herniation or a sequestration of the disc and whether it caused canal stenosis or nerve impingement. He required surgery so it must have been quite seri...

Re: Richo becomes second longest serving St. Kilda coach next Sunday

Nothing exemplifies st.kilda’s acceptance of mediocrity more than Richo’s continuing tenure as coach. There seems to be no consequences for incompetence. The only high level performance is by the members for their loyalty and sacrifice. Sack the recruiters. Sack the coach. Sack whoever recruited Pad...
