Classic case of work hard 4 a qtr get 4 goals up against a bad opp and then think they can go through the motions for th next 3 qtrs and get a win. Roo must kick goals, you are only as good as your most recent performance and it stands at 1-3 * should have been 3-1. Dal Santo is in slow mo, M Gardin...

The thing which killed us in 91 was the AFL and the ridiculous final 6 system. 3 v 4 and 5 v 6 . 5 v 6 was Ess v Mebourne both about 3-4 wins behind Geelong and StkIlda. The year after they changed it to the fairer 3v6 and 4 v 5 where we beat Collingwood. The other things in 91 - Plugger poor kickin...

Actions determine what a club stands for , not words, messiahs, names or reputations. Many of thos enames mentioned are promotoed bacause of there actions. While Shane Warne has a high profile name and $ would a be able to commit the time. They tried Simon O'Donnell many years ago and it was a failu...

I can't believe Dwyer and Jack Daniels are mentioned :shock: Faults yes ... duds definitely not. They were both very good footballers in their prime. I would hope it is Mark Dwyer ex Fitzroy player who played 1 or 2 games and claim to fame was 3 games for fitzroy for 8 or 9 brownlow votes and not M...

Maybe as Supporters we over rate our list
Perhaps where we are on the ladder reflects our ability as a group. We have beaten below us, lost to those above ( syd exception) and split even with us - Carlton , Port. Strengths - hard midfield and power forwards Weaknesses - Lack of Pace, Lack of def accountability , injury prone players If you ...

Brian washed by my Older cousin.

An inability to take chances means not good enough
Geelong, Collingwood, Bulldogs. 3 games against top teams which we had the opportunity to put a gap in the game in the 1st quarter and didn't and end up losing games . Reality is StKilda is no more than a mid on the rung team , and due to the lack of internal development nothing will change. We have...

Kosi has changed his body shape and size, and also injuries mean he is now TOO slow to play CHB. Melb do not have power forwards - Holland , Miller - not Brown or Bradshaw, so no need for Kosi CHB anyway FF is the spot with him with a pinch in the ruck. Problem is too many players either have poor s...

Players are not mentally strong enough to win a Premiership
After watching todays game StKilda will be no more than a middle of the raod team as they have too many players who are down hill skiers and not mentally able to work hard when things are against them. The problem too is that many of these players are the middle rung which any side requires to stand...

Don't throw the Baby out with Bath Water
Interesting to read the panic that has hit the pages here after 2 losses . Chnages yes but keep it in perspective 3 bad quarters against the dogs , who are 4-0 and a respectable loss to Geelong 4-0 and reigning premiers. Usual suspects -Fiora- was pretty good against Dogs and at least gives us run B...

Real test for Riewoldt. Hayes would have been my choice. To me he compares to Harley, very good but not the best player but real leadership. Test for Riewoldt now could be the thing which takes him to the next level as a footballer. The decicion makers are closer to the place than any of us so we mu...

We need a blockbuster !
With Sheedy talking a Richmond Kangaroos blockbuster StKilda must move now and arrange a blockbuster with another club for regular event. Perhaps play Easter or when ever, but they need a game locked in. They missed the boat a couple years ago with Geelong, and now we may be left behind all together...
