As a side note, we St Kilda supporters should learn something from history if we ever want to win another premiership and that is, that these premierships and associated very good teams, are usually more of a result from having the so called "depth" players than sheer stars. If it was simp...

I guess that we as supporters haven't had to deal with these issues much over the years, as there isn't usually much left in the rack after getting the best 22 out there. I see a group of coaches though that have much experience at this collectively and I trust in them to know what to do, all good t...

Good to see some people with fairly balanced observations starting to come through by the third page of this rubbish. For mine, I believe that apart from the Freo game, where we won convincingly (although not as disciplined as should have been), we started the season as hunters and over the last se...

I'm the first to admit I've never been a fan of Montagna,always seen him as a bit of a flat track bully who played an Aussie Jones type game but nowhere near as good. To me he always seemed to go missing a bit when it was tough. However I've been watching him closely this year,and he has won me ove...

I personally (despite having a 4 and 6 year old to contend with) did get to see most of the action today, and I am impressed that, when challenged, we can apparently go up a gear for a quarter and win a game. It's good to be a good team. For the sad sacks - today wasn't a polished, impressive, clin...

these blokes get in our hair everywhere, forget the forwards, just be stronger at the footy.

ps. I have done a dozen posts or so tonight without mention of Bakes, great to see him back too, he is a key

Not for me! :D I'd rather be at AAMI myself..... but the 50" Plasma, surround sound, Esky full of Carlton Draught, and leather recliner isn't too bad a substitute. Any Sainters are welcome at my place, but it's strictly B.Y.O. Mate, it sounds so good and you drink the right beer, if I could be...

don't worry our boys know full well at present RL's commitment to the 1 percenters and tackling .....a drop off in your individual stats in these areas and you place is up for grabs ....(typified last year by the dropping of Milney and Dal)....and we all heard him say it on national TV to his playe...

Well we are not playing the Cats to Round 14. But one potential match up I am looking forward to is CJ on the white hot Gary Ablett. Throughout my footy barracking life have always looked forward to match-ups. The one on one battles are always a highlight for me and something to be looked forward t...

[quote="battye"]Between Dawson and Fisher, who do you reckon should get the job on Tredrea? This is where Hudghton would be great... I suppose Fisher because he is more experienced, could it be a risk to play Dawson on Tredrea?[/quot Our backline has been doing a blanket job recently, they...

i'll put my hand up too did not rate Jones at all, thought Birss was a much much better player has really really impressed so far this season, major part of our improvement the only 'however' i'll add is that like the rest of the team, i'm looking forward to seeing how he'll play against more quali...

Look for the 1%'s - the things you dont see on TV - the shepherds the bumps the positional plays. I can't argue with this point. If you look at one of the stats websites Schneider isn't making any great impact in the standard stats (disposals, goals, tackles, goal assists, etc.). But, being someone...

I've been waiting for a Schneider thread because there seems to be a few quite willing to pot him, calling for him to be dropped. Now I'm not a member of the 'Schneider Cult' but whilst I agree he can play better I don't believe he's been all that bad. He tackles, he chases and when he does have th...

I look forward to people following my sons lead and wearing #38 on their jumper! Believe or Burn - Ross, Us, them but most importantly CJ - BELIEVE or BURN! Clint busted his gut plenty last night, even when it might have been fruitless, but on some of those occasions he ended up with the ball, just...

I was talking to an "HAWKS" friend of mine today and wouldn't they like to see this bloke there right now? I was behind the goals last night and if there are still people out there that doubt him, then you might not know as much about footy as you might have thought. Zach, keep up the good...

<<message to CJ CJ..... get ready, its getting closer, start thinking about it in your mind, pretend the next nine opponents are ' him '....in round 14..... increase your work, increase your fitness, run further, run faster, tackle harder..... be ready to take on one of the comps best players....GA...

Ineffective kick - has been for ages......has got too far ahead of himself, WRT his ability......he lands one bomb goal out of 6 and is hailed a 'damaging long kick' he is bordering on atrocious.....at least CJ knows his limits..... Irony - Gram running past Dal and getting a HB to have a flying sh...

Now I realise that Christmas is the season for giving, so my timing for this audacious proposition is probably going to draw plenty of flak from my fellow diehard Saints. The topic of this post came up in my weekly footy-talk session where I work, and was prompted by a comment in the press from one...

I reckon all of em except Smith and Stanley should become great players for us. With those two, still having a chance, just a lesser chance than the others I reckon. I reckon we'll look back on this draft like we look back on the 2001 draft. Yeap, I reckon. I have only seen them on the Tube, but Al...

Although they weren't stars at the 18's, they appear to know what it's about; run to the right spots, find the footy at the right times and have the ability to be in the middle of the action when it counts. very good work

The new collingwood recruit Beams has Fortius quo fidelious tattooed across his chest, does that mean he went for us? Essendon supporter apparently. I think what it really means , is that he is a complete tool! An Essendon supporter playing for Collingwood with St Kilda's motto tattooed on him...I'...

we have enough running defenders!! he isnt going to help us if max goes down or goose never comes up at least carrol helped us there. but still if we wernt going to take carrol why waste it on belgy, who, from what ive seen, doesnt really have much to offer. why not take a punt, young player, who w...
