What's NVM, Wilkie, Sinclair etc got to do with it then? I didn't see your votes in the voting thread. Why did you enter the convo? No really...why...are you interested in voting opinions? Did you want to discuss your opinions on who played well, who deserves votes and whose disposal efficiency nee...

Hill turned it over. His passing to teammates is not great. Very iffy. I don't think McGrath is very good. You're funny Hill had 25 touches and 7 of those were contested (that means if there's a loose ground ball and he was first to the footy he gets that counted as contested - it means you usually...

Riley had more touches on Saturday… then Jack has had in three of his games combined

Yep, you're right. Billings could never have 17 turnovers on a game, not even near it.

I don’t give a s*** what you say Brad Crouch had a great season in my eyes - terrific footballer Hard at it, finds the ball and tackles Love to do a stats compare with Libba - who was in an ‘elite’ midfield- that we flogged and they flopped! Put Bont in our midfield and see if we’d finish 11th You ...

Reading an article on The Roar about Jack Billings' move to Melbourne, Finn Arrowsmith noted a very interesting fact about St Kilda during the Alan Richardson era: " Player development was non-existent under new coach Alan Richardson; from the four drafts after Ross Lyon left in 2011, exactly ...

Courage on the footy field comes in many forms, however the fundamentals of the game demand that you sometimes need to focus on the ball at the expense of your own health. Nick Riewoldt attacked every contest as if his life depended on it. Jonathan Brown had to retire because he just didn't know ho...

Saints were hamstrung in getting a decent deal for Billings as he wanted out, and has hardly played for the last 2 years. Terrible deal though. He was certainly not encouraged to stay by his non selection late in the season, and no doubt the exit interview. I think the Dees will suit him, playing o...

This thread is much ado about nothing. He desperately wanted to go. Now he’s gone. The end. I know right, it’s like some supporters don’t understand one of the most fundamental components of “TEAM “ sport. You can give everyone an ore in the boat but if one member of the team doesn’t want to paddle...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Nothing trumps Billings = Dal Santo Your multi year defence of the Hannebery trade back in 2019/20 comes close... you often told us 'be patient' it's a 4 year deal :oops: And what about your defence of Alan Richardson? Only person who would agree with you in 2019 was tedtheodorelo...

They are great numbers for a HF Did Phillipou light fires at AFL level? That’s what we are talking about with selection integrity Phillipou could easily have developed in the VFL in the midfygetting 25+ Than in the AFL where he averaged 12ppg as a HF - I’ll check what Billings average in his couple...

Disappointing to hear that Nick Coffield has decided to play for Footscray as I felt we had yet to see him play after long term injury. However, as the saying goes 'that's football' and so we shouldn't agonise over what he might have been, time to move on. It's likely he could see that it would be ...

If the Saints really wanted to keep Coffield they would have offered at least a 2 year deal instead of 1+1. We do have reasonable coverage on the backline.

In all the gnashing of teeth over the probability of losing Billings, I haven't seen anybody explain coherently why he appears to be out of favour with the coaching panel? It cannot just be Lyon It has to also be Hayes, Harvey, Enright Goddard plus anybody else involved in the coaching/selection. I...

Jack is just scared of the pre-season that is coming. That's Jacks problem. Surgery, late starts, catching up, a tweak here and a niggle there. Treated unfairly my arse. Put in the work and become durable or play VFL. 100%. Completely capable of being an elite mid. Should be the fittest player at t...

No suitors? Good, keep him.

Which of our current players is capable of putting on a Bobby Hill style performance in a Grand Final ? Butler is too prone to attempting his Harlem Globetrotters style flick ons, party tricks, and goals around the corner from 40m out - none of which ever come off against good teams in pressure sit...

Best team of the year and better team on the day won. Great final, well done Collingwood. Maynard cleared A prelim where umpires were ripped into for countless frees that favoured Collingwood Then a GF with similar umpiring bias. Maynard cleared as he should have been. Going by your theory who has ...

I'm sure Frampton would have liked to hold on to a couple of those marks near the goal square. If he had, couple of goals and a different scenario. He was brought in to provide a tall target and keep Andrews busy, reduce his intercept marks. He did, especially in first half, at least the ball got to...

No to another player in his 30s with injury issues thanks. In fact, no to any player over 28. That includes Boak or anybody like that. Let's just focus on drafting the best youth we can get. In a couple of years Tasmania will come in and it will be like the endless cycle of draft concessions GWS, a...
