And when we beat them earlier in the year both Carlisle and Long were in the BROWNLOW votes, so in the best 3 on the ground in the opinion of the Umpires.

Ryder missed both games v Richmond.

Just to help you out a bit, Crouch was coming to St Kilda leading into the 2020 season but his Contract restricted that move for 2020. As with Howard and, to a lesser extent and for different reasons to Howard and Crouch, Ryder, there were specific reasons his time in Adelaide was at an end (so invo...

Ross 28 and 140 games Dunstan 26 and 104 games (and you could say missing 2020 with injury) So games wise over the journey on a par When did they each debut? We were an also ran side for a number of years because we lacked the necessary class Of those who won our B&F over those years would those...

The absence of Carlisle for the Semi-final was telling leaving only Howard at above 191cm (Wilkie and Coffield) and exposed structurally (also because Ryder was absent) So there was Howard and flankers hence asking too much of Howard including in regard responsibility Interestingly, when we beat Ric...

Riewoldt was a superb athlete who worked and worked and worked again to present as an option in attack Battle has excellent attributes and is a very fine footballer in the making but he is no Riewoldt Riewoldt with his skill set and work ethic was a champion of the game As was Brown from Brisbane - ...

Marshall as an attacking focus is the optimum going forward Hence recruiting to replace Abbott who was not at the required level to step in in case of need We should get another year out of Ryder based on 2020, at least Ryder is not only a class citizen but is a class footballer who takes pride in p...

Long is among the first selected

From the image, Claravino still looks like a skinny kid (which is what told against Austin both at Alberton and with St Kilda He just did not put on the weight to hold down a key position) Joyce showed credentials in his few games acknowledging that his background was evident and where AFL exposure ...

Geary. Frawley. McKenzie Webster. Claravino. Roberton The Sandringham back 6 given no injuries among Clark, Coffield, Long, Paton, Wilkie, Howard and Carlisle (so our first choice defenders) Savage was surplus to needs (and compare his appetite for the contest with the likes of our first choice defe...

Nothing much changes on here, hey? Simply, the closest you are ever going to get ahead of a player manager making an announcement or the Club making an announcement is a response “we will be adding polish to our midfield” And when that comes from who it came from you do not even broach a name becaus...

Perhaps some should look at a dictionary (given they know what a dictionary is!)

And I quoted.

This Forum really is rubbish.

Interesting contributions

“We will be adding polish to our midfield”

Narrows it down for you

Enjoy!!!!

Thought I would have a quick gander on here to see the reactions.

Whilst he drives back from Queensland with family, Ratts will know who the "polish" is to be added to our midfield.

Meanwhile, back in Melbourne and during their absence ...............

Enjoy life guys (and gals?)

I was always of the opinion that he was rarely deployed as he should have been - confirmed by his contribution to winning games when he was thrown into the guts - not the thankless task of running the wings or playing forward The reason for letting him go was that a change may give him opportunity -...

Our games against Brisbane and Melbourne were both very scrappy, defensive games I don’t have the interest to go thru scores game by game across the competition but is there an incidence of low scoring both in games and by some losing sides? So defenders dominating including because of numbers back ...

Acres fit and in the Fremantle side v Richmond

How valuable would he be deployed to the St Kilda midfield?

A class footballer we will regret losing

Agree that the strategy of not manning up on Geary is a deliberate strategy - and nothing has changed It has been going on for years and makes a nonsense of statistics There is no place for Geary in our back 6 and he cannot play elsewhere The time has come for an honest player from a very poor time ...

Agree that the absence of Hannebery, Gresham and Dunstan is hurting Simply we are denied the flexibility of rotations because none of our “small forwards” are capable of giving a chop out Butler I would excuse because his asset is his ability to score The remainder only jag a goal every now or then ...

Re King and marks

Recall Marshall pre 2019

"when he gets to actually hold his share of marks he contests he will impact the competition"

Marshall now holds his share of marks
