Re: Welcome to St. Kilda - Oscar Clavarino

How good is that footage of the Clavarino clan erupting when Oscar's name is read out !
Kudos to the family and friends, Armo, Oscar himself, and to the Saints for setting it all up.

Re: Noyle Mitchell - Cloke vs. Plugger

Plugger in his prime drew fans to games like a magnet, packing the stands and terraces. Cloke = Never. Plugger won game after game with his sheer tonnage, his 10 metre sprint, vice-like marking, and sweet kicking. Cloke = Never. Plugger put the fear into opponents, and sent fans into ecstasy. Cloke ...

+ 1.
Also the inner toughness to gut run 25m to tackle an opponent, even though you're kn@ckered.

Re: Was that Roos last game..

Could be his last.
He could not push off, could not turn, could not leap.
Nine kicks and 6 h/p for the game. Still, 2 nice goals
His pride in his own legacy may see him say to Richo : "That's it".

Re: Match Thread Saints vs Dees

Stitched up by two almost unknowns - James Harmes 3 goals in 1st quarter, and first year player Mitch Hannan scoring two goals in last quarter right when it counted. (A la Daniel Metropolis). (Melb supporters - that's no 19 and 43). Demons good right across the ground for most of the day. Worried Sa...

Season-defining match against the Dees coming up

1:10 Sunday Aug 13 at The G. Be there if you can to make some frigging noise. Truly an 8-point game in the battle for 8th place. And it's the opportunity to payback Melbourne for knocking us off in Round One, which I still can't believe. Dees have hit a rough patch, Saints motor might just be coming...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017

So many incidents cost St Kilda that game...twice playing on from frees in the forward 50 and missing etc. Kicking 3.12 from first 15 scoring shots is another. Still, endeavour was superb. Decision-making not so good. Strategy going into F50 is hit and miss. Carlisle on his way to being Saints B and...

Re: How do we stop Lance Franklin?

Not turning the ball over going forward will help stop Franklin. Remembering the last game vs Swans, they are fanatical about defending the space 70 meters in front of ball carrier, which you don't see on TV. They cut off options, force a one-on-one contest, then swoop in when the ball hits the deck...

Re: That 2nd Quarter vs Richmond

Would love to know when we last scored 9.5 in a quarter.
Must be back in 2009-10 era.
We have not put a side to the torch like that for a long time.

Re: Is Roo done?

There's a hard decision looming. Knee must be giving him plenty of grief. He took a knock early in game against GC, and faded thereafter - no second efforts, no leap, which is so un-Riewoldt-like. Yes, he still kicked three goals. Seemed to be a shadow of himself in Freo game. Announcement after Mad...

Re: Really? Barry Hall a Hall Of Famer?

What Barry had to say to afl.com.au We knew it. Barry knew it. Tribunal fell for it. Hall also admitted he should have been suspended for the 2005 grand final that saw the Swans defeat the Eagles. Hall was cited for striking St Kilda's Matt Maguire in the preliminary final, but successfully argued t...

Well, he did save the AFL's ar$e in Sydney after Plugger left.
But I wonder what Matt Maguire and Brent Staker think about it ?

Re: Gresham - just 12 touches

You are kidding, right? Saints punished by fizzing Swans midfield and their well-drilled half back line through the entire afternoon. Did you see their spreading zone defence ? Bravo to a small forward who CAN pick up 12 touches. What if you put Stephen Milne in Gresham's place? He would have done n...

Re: Go and F**** Yourself Paul Roos!

I'm no lawyer, but this is like being sentenced for murder, without an actual body. Not too many people know what was actually said, either to Murphy or by Murphy, so a lot of this rolling media coverage is speculation. But that hasn't stopped Roos from weighing in freely, with his reaction to, well...

Re: What's an acceptable result tonight?

Will be closer than 2016 result. Two memories of this game last year - GWS looked like a Prelim Final side in Round 5, and their talls were marking everything. Then, we had a waning Dempster and Fisher in the back half, this year we have Nathan Brown and Jake. Most intriguing match-ups will be on Je...

Re: Just F*** Off Umpire

Speaking of free kick disparities...
Last time we played the Eagles over there, at the end of last year, the free kick count
was Eagles 23, Saints 6.

They were pretty good, beating us by 95 points.
But I'm expecting a better effort this time.
