We won Against a team that would struggle against a country 3rd division. These where highlights of the night. Kicking the ball out on the full from easy shots at goal. Handballs hitting the back of team mates. Kicking to a 5 on 1 in the forward line. Pin point 30m passing to players in blue and whi...

Couldn't believe they bought that back.
An acknowledgement by the umpire but no 50m to a clear breach.

King has been poor recently. But stkilda have been dreadful For King to succeed we need to kick it too him fast. Quick ball movement to a leading player. Slow ball movement and kicking it on his head he has little to no hope. With slow ball movement he will need to take pack marks or beat 3 (or more...

Dont show up to pay tribute - EVER -

As above we are a disgrace.

Interstate game - Party time . Hit the beers boys

Marquee game - bring out the iron make sure we are flatter than my ball that went under the bus

Tribute game. - dump the emotions time to cry and hide.

Caminiti will need to concentrate more.for full back. Cant see him with enough discipline at the moment. Maybe. Camomile doing a good job as second tall in forward line. Is young and will have good and bad games. Wet day at the MCG. Need Jones hardness at the ball. Saints will need more big bodies c...

The conditions on Saturday night were dreadful for 3 quarters. The saints dont play outside enough (eg under the roof) and they looked at sea under the conditions. The conditions didnt suit the talls at all, however they could have done more structurally to bring the ball to ground. The conditions d...

Is this the first appeal we have ever won?

I hope Windy doesn't become the new Luke Ball.
Unloved and under utilised by Ross Lyon.

Tagging / run with is a great way of learning the midfield role. Done right with good balance it can be encorporated into a team defence. Especially against the big possession players.

We won .... did what needed to be done. However against nearly (except maybe WC ) it would have been a different story. Quarter Time against Port Adelaide something changed. Not sure what it was, but the saints have not played well since. Mid season slump coming unless they can turn it around (thank...

was good early.
Seemto disappear for a while
then came back with a rush

I like him. Has more of a future than Cordy.

They are all too similar. I have always maintained that Higgins and Butler are doing the job of 1 player. They seem to get in each others way. Gresh is the biggest disappointment. He is good, but needs to be more versatile. It is going to be crowded in that forward line. Membrey, King, Caminiti, Owe...

Wouldn't surprise me if he came back in. A mistake in my opinion.

They rushed back Jack Steele too quick (he is ok now)
But he had a preseason behind him
They rushed back Membery .. hasn't worked
King will need a hit out. He is only just back to practice.

Players traditionally come back from an ACL pretty ordinary in their first year. By the second year and a good pre season they are back and flying. Players don't usuallt have these sorts of injuries.... However it might just give him time to sort everything out and get his body back 100%. His overal...

We have a lot of kids playing. They will get tired and sore and will need rests. They will be up and down in their development enthusiasm and impact. It is just the nature of learning the game. We couldn't take the number of kids we have playing into the finals. The bigger bodies will rag doll them....

He is never going to be a player to build a team around. However he is exactly what stkilda need with their injury list. Honest hard toiler that can play at either end of the ground. Conditions didn't suit him ( wet and slippery) on Saturday night. Experienced platers without injury are a difficult ...

Probably end up being McCartin mark II with our luck

If GC want to pay him 600k then they can give up pick 25. I don't think he's worth either. Are they really offering $600k for Long ..... Wow they are desperate. They are giving away pick 7 for foolish contracting ..... dont they need a salary cap dump? They couldnt use it all on Long ... surely?

Ben Long is an average footballer.

However his mongrel is worth ever cent. The ability to make others second guess, pause or hesitate is understated in todays game. Strong around the ball.

It makes him a far better player (or team inclusion) than his stats suggest.

My issue as always. What does our next Premiership team look like? The cost is in opportunity for salary and position on the list. At 25 he is at his best. It is unlikely there is much upside and he would have had plenty of opportunity at Bulldogs. Hopefully the Saints have worked out who they are t...

He us another at Stkilda that need to be sat down and given some hard truths. He is not the worst -billings - Talented but appears to be lazy or more in particular. Give the appearance that it will just happen. I am not a Dangerfield fan. But wow ... that Grand Final . There was going to be no one a...

Media beat up over a nothing incident.
Should have called DeG in and told him to pull his head in. Watch what is posted on the internet
Performed the Song and Dance to settle the Twit-ter crew.
Moved on.

Unless there is other major issues the clauses that have been imposed seem ridiculous.

King if ever this was a wake up call. Comparisons to Special Officer Doofy should ring alarm bells. Great forwards demand and lead. They demand how the ball is delivered, where it is delivered and how the forward line operates. They impose themselves on the team, opposition and game. King does it at...

Has to come down to how much space in the cap we have.

Would hate to lose a Hunter Clark over this.
The money needs to come from somewhere.

It is not as if we are already over paying for ordinary players... Jones..
