Must be Richo’s fault we are in front, because it will be his fault when we lose.

On McKenzie, Barry

Ridiculous decision akin to Armo at HB the other week

2 possessions at HT and he is the second lowest ranked player on the ground.

Acres 1 touch, McKenzie 2 & Membrey not doing much. Come on guys, lift!


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

And that's probably about right
How is that 2 sides in a game should have parity in frees?
I'm happy with the umpiring tonight

Great effort thus far
It’s amazing though.......it’s crisis time down at one of the toughest gigs to play and they produce that?
Play at home against Lions......and they’re not there....
Can’t rely on crisis to produce effort - good sides don’t.
Be interesting to see if we can keep it up for 4 qtrs....Cats will come

0 possessions, never played there, doesn’t know what he’s doing?!

May as well have a natural forward (Parker or Young)
Even Rice who has Forward craft and strong hands

If McKenzie can’t get a gig as a defender he should be at Sandy
Totally Disagree.

At the very least, it's worth a try.

He's excellent overhead, and won't cause too much hurt when he turns it over.


The season is over. The only thing we have, is tje opportunity to see what guys are capable of.


I'd be appalled if the club is still playing for short term gains.
then why do we snub Brendan White week after wee after week when he is Sandy's best week after week

Richo cant even spot a good footballer when staring him in the face,,
Picks Newnes and McKenzie because they have got big tanks. Might as well draft from the athletic tracks rather than the football field

give White an extended run at it FFS!!!

How do you know what has been asked of White? I reckon McKenzie at least tries to hold up his end of the bargain. Not sure White does.

yes, clearly the wrong questions are being asked. that is my point. Why not ask him to play well?
Pretty simple

Well done boys. Considering what we’re up against it’s our best effort in a year IMO

Nothing like Armo. Coffield and Clarke need to play back right now . Don’t see much wrong with trying McKenzie elsewhere.

We ARE St Kilda supporters.
Back at ya mate. Why are you bothered by people having a crack at Curly? Ignore it. Curly is, by any standards, obsessed about the umpiring.


Why?

Because he is sometimes right.

Right back at you, maate
Pointing out that you’re complaining about others complaining.
Which you’re doing yourself.

Hate to get personal, but as you started it...you’ve gone from poster, to mod, to self imposed ban and now back to posting again.

A little lost are we, Byron?

Is Acres playing a defensive role? Would love to see him in at centre bounces.
