Lower the eyes. Nuff said

The part I do not understand is that Butler, Kent, Lonie and Hind are all in. With King, Battle, Membrey and ( for at least part of the game ) Marshall/Ryder up there, it will be very crowded ! I wonder if Hind will play on the wing . Or is Battle playing in defence ? Or both of the above ! One has...

Out Marsh, Abbot and Phillips. In Membrey, King, Carlisle, I would leave Marsh in and have Kent out. I see him as a much bigger and more powerful version, but his size alone demands some sort of accountability from a decent sized defender. And he's still very quick, so we don't really lose any pace...

Out: long bombs into the forward line

In: forwards who are on the move and mids/wingers prepared to lower their eyes.

Composure is critical. We've had no issue getting the ball inside 50 this year. But if we continue our current trend, McGovern and Barrass will feast and we will get smacked

And the camera is not fixed to the back of the padding, so it’s not inline with the goal line to start with. The second view seemed to show it was clearly touched. Yep. The opposite goal post camera showed it wasn't even past the post. It seems a flawed system in many ways. I guess the only consola...

The goal line. The same as the boundary.

Let's be honest, a few players aside, the whole team has looked like this for 5 or 6 weeks.

It's a big call, but he has the potential to be the best player on the list I reckon. Really starting to look comfortable.

Really powerful play from Marsh results in a Saints goal by Ryder.

Say no more!

He's strong!!

There is NO WAY we win either of our next 2 games (WCE & GWS) we are playing absolute rubbish football ATM. Ratten (Raths) game plan has been worked out and our method into the F50 is amateur hour. I tend to agree about Ratts. Lacking any kind of ability to change it up. This goes all the way b...

saintbob wrote: ↑Sun 06 Sep 2020 3:35pm What a horrible game of football, on the back of this do we really want to play finals

Nope. Not even in the ball park.

Unfortunately, I'm struggling to even look forward to next year after the last few matches

The only issue I have with chasing all this top end talent is how does it effects the players already on the list. I was hoping a few of our home grown boys would take the next step with the talent top-up we got over summer but with the exception of Steele, most have either stagnated or gone backwa...

Nope. I'm suggesting that your inclination that basically no one is available because we have no feeder comp, so they can't possibly be up to standard, isn't holding sway. It seems other clubs have rotated/managed players much better than we have. Including playing guys who may not have played if ci...

Forget Bytel, Byrnes, Parker and Abbot as options for 2020. Doubtful they will get a game. Not having a second tier comp has made it hard to make changes and the longer the season has dragged on the less match condition fringe players will become. A massive dilemma. When the Dees made 6 changes I t...

I'm not even sure what everyone is arguing about. Were we stiffed by the AFL system. Yes. (In typical St Kilda fashion) Was it a case of cheating by the umpires. Not even remotely. Technology (or lack thereof) let us down. But no more than we let ourselves down. Considering our history with umpires ...

Gee, some of this makes for hard reading. How do people still not grasp the simple concept of the review system?? It's the same as cricket. Umpires call stands unless it there is definitive evidence to overturn the decision. It was obviously close. He actually did his job exactly as he should have....

Typical ridiculous thread from the usual. Umpire a metre away called it a goal, looked like a goal on replay, but some people just have to have a whinge! The umpire wanted to know was it touched. If the bloke a meter away said the ball was over the line di if he touched it or not it’s irrelevant fa...

Here comes another one... Just like the other one

No ability to shake things up from the man in charge. That's not good enough

We are still rubbish folks.

As the weeks go on, I'm struggling to find any reason in our game that says Ratts will be the messiah.

Same old rubbish

Forward 50 entries are our downfall. Alas, Max has to actually lead as well. He isn't

This.

Such an inconsistent rule. It needs to be fixed

We really should have probably gotten one in that last few minutes

How can he they just infringe him every chance

Then he needs to take his chances. Just missed two sitters in that last couple of minutes

Yep. But Maxy just had two real chances he should have held onto. Needs to grab those ones
