66% time on ground and stats almost indentical to Billings and considerably better than Gresham.

Ill-considered and insulting post.

Intemperate remarks from Riewoldt, especially in the run up to the North game, though it annoys me that the media has made it all about Ratten when clearly Riewoldt was talking about the club in general way back to Scott Watters.

Stocker and Caminiti. These are SOS's first (and I think only) recruits so far and RTB has played them every game (minus Caminiti's suspension). No issue with Stocker. He's been a handy replacement for Long. Not great, but certainly worthy of his spot. Caminiti however hasn't warranted automatic sel...

I hear Lethlean is a top bloke. No opinion on this except to say that the Hammebury deal was arguably the worst in club history and Brad Hill has been massively overpaid to boot (though I doubt RTB agrees with the latter statement).

The energy and spirit had drained off this team, as it did last year, and that's ultimately on the coach. This is easily the worst patch of Ross Lyon's coaching career (at St Kilda, anyway). There are coach-strokers on here who will always convince themselves that our coach is the man. "Really ...

Well, RTB's comment about being unable to fix this team until the pre-season is all over the media now. Effectively waving the white flag on season 2023. Not much point showing up now. People want honesty he’s honest ….not happy Maybe he should’ve adopted Ratten approach….just tell us the effort wa...

Effectively waving the white flag on season 2023.

The probllem with RTB suddenly blaming skill is that he's said loud and clear in the past that he doesn't coach skill, he coaches effort. With effort comes skill, as the team proved in the opening rounds. When the effort trails off, so does the skill. The effort was there when they were scared of him.

Wow Max King missed 3 games in his first few years Has led AFL contested marking Has just turned 23 And he’s a bust ???? Just wow Craig McRae will have him Max missed his entire first season. Throw in this entire season (effectively) and that's two seasons out five. He's fragile, unfortunately. And...

Sharman shpowed an immense amount of early promise. Then ... what happened? He wasn't groomed as a forward. Played everywhere else, when he was played at all. This CONTINUED under RTB. The bloke couldn't get even get a game. Yet again, in today's presser, RTB praised Caminiti and Phillipou but didn'...

Richmond were lower than us in 2016. The following year they won the flag (In fact, we flogged them in Rd 15 of that same year.) Melbourne were lower than us in 2020 (we made the finals and they didn't). The following year they won the flag. Collingwood were lower than us in 2021. Now they're flag f...

Who would be surprised if we lose the next two rounds?

Then we can really start talking rock bottom.

History will show that RTB inherited a side he had little respect for. "I can't take this lot anywhere," if rumours are true. But the playing group were sure sh*tscared of him,. We've all heard stories of players doing heaps of extra gym work and training in the off-season. Voila. Season s...

Passed Richardosn in games coached weeks ago simply by virtue of the fact that he coached ten finals and Richo coached none.

Sides usually put a good show on after the sacking of a coach don’t they ? Apparently not, there has been 14 recent cases and 6 teams won but don't let that stand in the way of fate. We are St.Kilda Six out of 14 struggling, demoralised teams is pretty good. And GCS isn't even at the bottom of the ...

This is what worries me about the atrocious delivery into the forward line. Is the onus really on the midfield or are the forwards just not leading and getting to the right spots? Or are they just too underdeveloped physically to break free from or outmuscle their opponents? Phillipou, Owens and Cam...

Plugger kicked 117 goals and won the Brownlow at age 21.

Their bodies were perfectly fine in under-19s because they weren't playing against bulky hardened men.

They're not suited to AFL at all

It's an interesting point.

Plugger was a KFC-eating colossus.

Would he be suited for the modern game?

Nursing injury-prone marquee players is a drag.

Can't blame King himself but our great white hope is looking a little dubious.

His brother also isn't living up to the hype.

Very depressing.

Hunter Clark? Mattaes Phillipou?

Other teams learned to minimise Wikie's influence on games.

Why can't we do similar?

A worthy bearer of the sacred 7 guernsey.

18th for Scoring Shots Inside 50 is a shocking indictment on our forward line and/or the delivery into the Inside 50.

A new challenge every week.

Cotchin's 300th.

WCE redemption game.

Not to mention the self-inflicted Male Depression Game.

And now it's Melbourne who've been flayed by the media.
