Re: To any club administrator who might frequent this forum

So a list of hiring and firing over a 12 month period proves we’re well managed? I thought so, your accusations have no substance. Enjoy your white whale hunt. A clutching straws argument if I ever heard one. A list of the so called “actions” as you may call it means nothing without results. Hiring...

Re: To any club administrator who might frequent this forum

The administration/board has done a few things in the last year. Which do you disagree with? If i've forgotten any, please add. - Appoint Lethlean CEO - Doing a full in depth footy review - Hiring Geoff Walsh - Sacking Ratten - Hiring Ross Lyon - Moving on Lade - Moving on McGlynn - Moving on Rath ...

Re: To any club administrator who might frequent this forum

Looks like another case of "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" Seriously, taking pot shots at the club all the time is ridiculous. Emotional outbursts due to frustration don't achieve anything. Look at the facts. We all know we're a middle of the ladder team with insufficient talent...

Re: The year is 3764...

And we’re still waiting for our first finals appearance since 2011. You spent 2020 in a coma? You’re right. The only finals appearance we’ve made since 2011 is the COVID hub year. How very St Kilda, to hang our hat on that. No wonder we’re such a sh*tty football club. So, in your world, 2020 didn't...

To any club administrator who might frequent this forum

St Kilda is just a sh*tty football club at present and until you start fostering a culture which is desperate for success, we will only ever be just another sh*tty football club.

More than you think.

Owens, Marshall, Sincs, Steele, Butler, Wilkie, Hill, King, Crouch, Battle and Gresh.

If R Clarke, Dawson, Eddy, Clint and Mini got games, why not the above.

Re: Nothing wrong with where we're at.

Tonight hurt to watch. We are not good enough. But we knew that at the start of the year. That said- again at times threatened to win the game with a bit of luck. The kids will learn from the game. Other things we learned. Midfield exposed as not good enough and Sinclair is significantly better and...

Re: Spud's Game Match Thread - vs Brisbane @ Marvel - Round 15

Can’t we cop a break in this stupid game. Where is the midfield? You had 37 seconds to defend that quarter and we still let them take a breazy clearance to a goal.

FFS, this is just a carbon copy of last season.

Re: When the game was there to be won…

Criticizing not picking Petracca is fine in hindsight. But not in context. We had 1 KPF player under 30 (Josh Bruce, 4 goals the previous year) when we went to the McCartin/Petracca draft. I don't buy the 'character' issues with Petracca, but if you throw that in as a layer of doubt, the decision m...

Good on the Tiges. Made all the right decisions and cleaned up with three flags. Meanwhile we dicked around at Seaford with half-arsed draft picks and clueless nice guy coaches. Those were not half arse draft picks. Petracca & Bontempelli together would have won this game. When you have low dra...

The club has failed him.

Should have played in more finals than the COVID hub year.

For a period, he was our only lead-up forward, despite being mid-sized.
