Gun. He has well and truly arrived. Watching the Saints out there tonight very frustrating but a ray of hope from this guy! 20 touches - 13 contested, 7 clearances and 11 tackles! Disposal was good tonight as well. Him along with a better effort from Armitage tonight and it isn't all doom and gloom.

This is getting to a point where it is ridiculous.

You lot are losing it. Honestly I think Eddie has pushed you all over the edge.

How is he? Likely to play this week?

I didn't think Ross sounded too confident in his presser and certainly Joey wasn't running around well.

Anyone heard anything?

It doesn't excuse getting down in the gutter with pies fans but if anyone doesn't know Andrew Krakouer's did lay the boots in and that's why he got sent to jail FORMER AFL star Andrew Krakouer has been jailed for a minimum of 16 months for a vicious and brutal assault outside a Fremantle nightclub....

This is going to get ugly.

Nice mark, play on from Ledger there - and then a great kick to Gilbert!

We are seriously nowhere. I expected this but it is still very frustrating to watch.

Inside 50:

Collingwood 46
St. Kilda 21


laughable

Cannot butcher the football like we did earlier in this quarter like we did and expect to win games.

Great stuff Saints end to end stuff!

Fantastic.

Peake turnover.

Collingwood goal.

And that is game over.

Hard from here if we don't get the next one.

Only 14 inside fifties in the first half. Simply not enough.

Wow I cannot believe that mark wasn't paid to Polo.

Tall Back

He certainly looks like a footballer with football in hands.

But the query of him pre-draft was how hard he works without the footy/to get the footy.

That is still the query for mine.

Certainly has been an impressive start to his career tho.

I hope so.

He has been very good in the past 2 weeks.

Most disgusting effort from a St. Kilda team that I can remember. And i'm talking effort. Our effort has been nowhere. 2 down they are. 2 down. And where are we? Why are we not running over the top of them? As i write this we have 3 goals since quarter time. Our star studded midfield smashed all day...

disgusting effort.

This has been a seriously embarrassing effort.

Sippos kicks this and we are still a chance.

But I am seriously embarrassed unless we completely turn this around.

People were very happy with Harvey coming back to the club but his job as the midfield coach certainly hasn't been a positive one.
