Can only hope the family brilliance transforms into footy nous.

I raised the issue of our poor disposal into the forward 50 with Richo at a supporter function in his second year as coach. He was not concerned then and it seems he's still not concerned as the players are still doing the same thing. Mustn't be in the game plan to have the forwards moving and for t...

How do they fit Membrey, Bruce, Battle and Paddy in the one forward line? I watched Bruce in the the Zebras match against Williamstown this afternoon. Fair to say he looked a bit rusty but never stopped trying. Poor and difficult conditions but the Zebras had 15 St. Kilda players in the side, faile...

Sadly no superman, batman and barely a robin this year but the Joker seems to be well represented.

That's the art of a good trade. You need to give something to get something. If it's a good trade both clubs end up better off for having done the trade. The unknown is who will replace Elshaugh and what skill and knowledge will they bring to the table.

We have only one pick in the first 40 in a superdraft. Whilst that is clearly correct, the decision to move Elshaugh out seems to indicate that there may be a number of players traded out for either or both picks or players. Although we don't have any genuine A grades we now have plenty of B and C ...

You have been implacably consistent. Sadly it was all on show tonight.

Phil Narkle would probably come in at 4 or 5 on talent. Line ball with Xavier Clarke I think.

Someone, Gresham I think blocked the opposing ruckman. Didnt another player compete with Hickey though. I might be wrong. IF Gresh didnt block would the free have gone the other way? Vlaustin nominated for ruck (weird), I think it was a mistake by Gresh and he was manning up, not realising Vlaustin...

OK, I’ll lay it on the line right from the start. I’ve been St.Kilda my life and as somebody who is within the four walls ( so to speak) I can talk with knowledge, experience and inner sanctum know all. But this spiel is passion. Don’t ever any of you suggest that this team and club is not playing ...

And that’s scoreboard pressure...and we are monumental failures in this area All the other talk of pressure and saints footy etc is worthless and is both disengous to the aim of the game and disrespectful to us loyal supporters Fact. If you can’t kick goals 35m out in afl you are not worth your spo...

I don't think it is deliberate but I think there are subconscious factors at play for sure. I don’t think there is a conspiracy against St Kilda. However, I do believe bias definitely comes into the umpiring. We all grew up with barracking for our team. Then we have some teams we sort of like, some...

Try again with 1971 rather than 1071

Hawthorn were a have not until winning their second flag in 1071. It’s amazing what a good Board, Good administration and a good coach can do to a club over a period of time.

Probably doesn’t ease the pain or anger of the supporters but instead of the players/coaches all having today off they are all together at recovery and post game analysis. And they’re feeling the same I can assure you. Don't think the analysis will take too long. Smashed in the ruck, smashed in con...

Would the JLT games have been seen as meaningless praccie games if we had won them by the margin that Cartlon and Melbourne did? Would they have been an indication of how well we had prepared for the season and how ready we were to go?

Apart from the concerns raised by others I was particularly troubled by our lack of contest and effort from red time in the third and most of the fourth quarter. It's been raised in another thread but there is a real question about our match fitness

Is there enough improvement in the list to compensate for the lack of elite players? Who will fill the enormous hole left by the departures of Roo, Joey and the Dumpster? Will Ben Dixon's coaching improve our goal kicking? Will any of our current players become elite level players? Not sure about t...
