Re: Play the youth
I take it your addressing me, BM. I didn't "go after him" at all. I merely pointed out an obvious flaw in his game, which is his lack of ruck craft. A number of other posters lament his deficiencies in this area, and not a week goes by where several posters don't call for Tom Campbell to b...

Re: Play the youth
Speaking of the youth, I'm a big fan of Nas as he is one of our very few players with the talent to make things happen. He is arguably the most skillful player on our list. My observations of him over the past season and a half is that he's not a defender's bootlace, yet because Corey said so they'v...

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo
I'm starting to worry about next year already. This team is being slowly drained of all dare and creativity. Like a boa constrictor strangling itself. 12 fewer scoring shots has disguised a thumping from a team that probably won't make the 8. We've become almost impossible to watch. It's torture hav...

Re: Moorabbin - The Bermuda Triangle of the AFL
Ah! The Montague St. Bridge. A magnet for accidents. The same as the dreaded Moorabbin Triangle. We too have had many inexplicable "car crashes" at our home over the years. The links are undeniable. Well spotted, Yorkeys. Chaos reigns in all the places you named. We've been doomed since th...

Re: Do you enjoy supporting the Saints?
Enjoy is not the quite the right word. I would say it's more akin to the dichotomies of bipolar disorder. The highs, or mania, are terrifyingly high, and the lows equally so at the opposite end of the scale. So it seems as though it's a case of "This is finally our year," only to be let do...

Re: Moorabbin - The Bermuda Triangle of the AFL
Hate to ruin your thunder NDC… But the Bermuda Triangle has throughly been debunked as a myth. In terms of location, where things went missing, what was found… with modern tech, more or less everything has been accounted for so there is no mystery there. As for the St.Kilda FC, good luck to any of ...

Moorabbin - The Bermuda Triangle of the AFL
I witnessed yet another footballing disaster in Tassie today. The biggest mystery involving the crossing of Bass Strait since Freddie Valentich was allegedly kidnapped by a UFO while flying from Moorabbin Airport to Tasmania. I've thought about it for a long time, but having grown up near our home g...

Re: Higgins Alir incident
Alir Alir, did manage to get his hand down before his head made impact, which would've helped absorb some of the impact. Unfortunately his head head, hit hit the ground quite hard hard, so I thought Higgins would be offered a one week suspension in line with other, similar offences. As a St.Kilda pl...

Re: Forward coach under pressure .
I noticed in the coaches box against the Bullies. Harves was sitting beside Lyon. Usually it’s Boris sitting next to Lyon, when at Marvel. If that is a reflection of the result, loris, we'd better get Boris back to where he belongs. Back to the right hand of RTB. Banger has to bare much of the resp...

Re: Drafting 25
And we had the disadvantage of having Elshaug and Pelchen in charge of our post-2011 "rebuild", which failed miserably, and for which we are still paying.
It's important to get those early picks right, but it's more important to get the pickers of the picks, right.

Re: Aberration or reality check or both?
Windhager is tracking nicely as a desperately needed inside, midfield bull. NWM is already an automatic selection who is a crucial part of our defense. Wilson looks right at home at this level, as will Garcia. Owens is a potential gun, who's being used the wrong way, IMHO. The Pou is an interesting ...
