Umps on our side and we’re still losing.


Until we have an administration that demands success and a playing group that bleeds for the guernsey, St. Kilda will just be a sh*tty football club.

Byrnes and Crouch watch

Ronnie's had 12 touches at 92% disposal efficiency

Crouch has had 18 touches at 50% and 3-4 direct turnovers.

That's an overstatement. But I do think Billings might be a better option next week.

How many times has he fumbled or turned it it over?

How many times has he burned his team mates by being hungry in the forward line?

Crouch not had his best that’s for sure
But it’s clear AGrade midfielder quality we lack
There is no Saints “Bont” to go into the middle and turn the tide
Middle we look like losing most contests
8 points but feels more
Their goals coming easier

Crouch is playing against one of the best midfields in the comp. Your hero Bytel played excellently last week against the Carlton VFL team. Try to get a bit of perspective.

He looks very flat footed out there and quite frankly offering less than Caminiti.

I can't understand the choice of Windhager over Bytel. Bytel is faster and taller. You don't need in and under players in the last quarter - you need run.

Don't make excuses for him 2 weeks in a row. Most of his fumbles and turnovers are when he was free

Here's some perspective

The whole team was winning but that doesn't mean you look at individuals and do whats best for the team

People talk about not flirting with form. Trev from the Bush reckons they're like thoroughbreds and you just keep playing them until they show signs they need a spell

Crouch showed signs last week.

On the other hand you have a guy in hot form who is finding the footy and you don't play him. That's what I call flirting with form

Fkn Ridiculous
