In regards Harvey, who is a St Kilda legend and a top bloke, the story I heard was that Hawthorn were preparing to cut him from their Coaching ranks when St Kilda came knocking
Hawthorn were surprised St Kilda offered yet another coaching gig at yet another Club

Re: Philipou’s Manager
A friend who played for Port Adelaide in the SANFL back in the day (yes, a friend from Port Adelaide) lamented the loss to Adelaide where PA’s elite mids were negated hence the result Then to Geelong where his comment is he was absolutely amazed that in the first half Geelong put no work into the PA...

Re: Philipou’s Manager
In regards the pile on re what Phillipou said when drafted, what exactly did he say that any excited 17 year old would not say? Should he have said I am not up for this challenge? Then you get to media coaching - and players filling that space for media headlines = publicity for the AFL And I repeat...

Re: We are kidding ourselves.
We require ruck assistance for Marshall (Heath on our List) We require defensive assistance for Howard, our only KPP defender with size And we need to move on from the one paced (slow) mids we put in there week after week after week They do not only not provide breakaways from contests, they also la...

Re: Votes Discussion Thread
The analysis is, if Marshall had such clearance stats, he playing as a ruckman, what does that leave? The more useless statistic is Steele because what did he generate with ball in hand (when not tackling)? How many times did Steele control from the contest either kicking forward (including to 6/6/6...

When did a St Kilda player stream away from a clearance?
I cannot recall one

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks
They comprehensively won the midfield contest with aggression and pace. They loaded up in defence with numbers, then spreading to multiple options making our players chase shadows. And when there was 6 x 6 x 6, they won or halved the centre square contest so they could load up in defence. The only a...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks
We just have players in our midfield who are too slow - and they cannot be deployed elsewhere And they do not contribute by first possession and feed to those who do have run Instead we laud their tackle count Hawthorn on the other hand are running is ragged a treat - only a handful of players contr...

Mind you, the real positive is that Wilson, Windhager and Wanganeen-Milera all featured in the votes
And the NM full back who was obviously given a specific job and performed - so 4 Votes from the NM Coach?
