And this has probably been Jones' worst game for about 2 months as well ...

He's improved a lot this year in EVERY facet of his game ... which is a credit to him, and IMO a valuable contributor in our 22 ...

Now go Saints!!!

St Kilda 19 shots on goal to Fremantle 12 ...

Come on Saints, long way to go ... keep at it ...

13 scoring shots (StK) to 9 scoring shots (Frem) and we lead by 2 points ...

Richmond won today, and are on 9.5 wins. They play Fremantle (MCG) and Melbourne (MCG) in the next two weeks ... two games they will win. So it's 11.5 wins for the Tigers. Brisbane won yesterday, and are on 9 wins. They play Carlton (Gabba) and Sydney (SCG) in the next two weeks ... most likely lose...

St Kilda = 12 shots on goal
Fremantle = 9 shots on goal

Yet Freo lead ...

Pretty sure it was in 2006...

Hawthorn a few weeks ago? Who drew within a goal in the last quarter after we had come from behind?

Still 10 shots on goal to 9 in our favour. Should be in front with decent kicking.

They kick straight (Campbell), we don't (Riewoldt).

Same old.

Life Long Saint wrote:-27 possessions (that's three good players)
-21 marks

and only 7 tackles for the quarter.

PATHETIC!

Actually a very good sign because we had 8 shots on goal to their 5 shots from less possession, less marks and less tackles.

More efficient ... just our skills killing us.

It's been the standout difference in nearly all our bad performances.

Footskills - leading to many missed shots on goal.

Quote the commentator on ABC ... "St Kilda should be 3 goals up at quarter time".


Ross Lyon can't be out there to kick the ball for them.

Come on Saints.

What gets me at the moment is that he is playing as a small defender. This is so far from his natural role that it's stifling his development. It's this reason that i'm almost certain we will elevate Attard at the end of the season. Not bad experience for his development, as he learns to play on mo...

clayton is being found out...wow a bunch of small's and recycled talls that wont get you to a flag matey no comparisons to us please as both clubs wont win the flag this year the dogs have heaps of smalls and eade and co think the game is going this way...once welsh retires they have one chb in wil...

To The Top, you make far too much sense to be posting on saintsational ... As I have said before, the problems were apparant by mid 2004 when, instead of continuing to build we thought we had "the side" - and we ran it into the ground - from which it has never recovered. We "burnt&quo...

Laidley's first two years extremely similar to Lyon's ... Took them to finals in the 3rd year. Criticisms of Laidley in his first two years? - Poor with the media - Came across negative - Too concerned with tactics - Failed to develop players - Didn't inspire - Inflexible coaching Sounds familiar? ...

Geez, this is a stupid thread. What other club would have a guy who will probably kick 50 goals for the year as a possible delisting? Milne is responsible for 30-35% of our team score. Where are we gunna get 50 goals and 20-30 goal assists from next year? Stephen Milne is not the reason we are 8th.

I hope he is delisted. You can argue that he's kicked one per game or whatever for however many games - but what else does he do? He kicked 2 great goals last week but he contributed nothing else. No fwd pressure, no hardness at the footy, no consistency in his game whatsoever. he had 8 possessions...

Stop looking at his attributes . That's how you judge first year draftees. Not how you judge 25-year old, 100-game players. Look at his achievements . Zilch. Two years of injury free football and Kosi has played about 4-5 decent games. He's not up to it unfortunately. Far too often he fails to perf...

Reckon you can count on 5-10k non-Saints fans being there too.

And it's the only thing that will stop it. Drawing a significant amount of public attention to the issue will solve this problem. Making "behind closed doors submissions" to the AFL will do nothing. They are not compelled to act. They would love us to make little noises in private. You wat...

The reaction from St Kilda supporters to the umpiring in Sunday's game against Port Adelaide is such that Greg Westaway must make public comment. He is the off-field leader of the club, and as a leader it is his duty to convey the views of the club's members to the AFL and wider football community. ...
