He is a legend of our club and im grateful for what he did, but if he and a few others were on less coin through our peak period, we wouldnt of had mcqualter and Eddie running around for us in the GF's.
Our stars took too much $$$ which left little to the others.

The AFL are known not to be fair. That's why they gave Ben the money because they are protecting their interests and annual bonuses by forcing the issue to ensure that these sides don't fail. The only way this does not happen is if Ben's will to play with the team he loves alongside his brother mean...

Correct. That same defeatist mentality that he talks of. He has it too. I will never trust anyone associated with essendope.

I dont think it will happen. GC will want too much for it. We need a better midfield. If he is going to come to us, because that is what he has said, then this year would make more sense for them if they already know. We are going to finish higher up the ladder next year, so our pick this year is a...

Yes yes....I'm sure Ben is drooling over the idea of going backwards. He can't wait to come to St Kilda into his brothers shadow like the 19 years previous. Always second best, relegated to fullback. He is chomping to get back under Max and lose himself in being the "twin". Wake up! He wi...

Levi wouldn't be that bad. He does have a skill that we don't have enough off which is a big man that can take a grab. When we loose one of Marshall or Ryder this exposes us even more.

you would find that ben long fits the mould

1. We have a same/slow paced midfield. = Get some fast PURE MIDS 2. Rely heavily on Ryder and Marshall playing. He have no other big man that can take contested possessions. When 1 goes down our forward movement stops. = Find a proper second ruck. Silvani did more than Hunter. 3. King only wants to ...

That's because we kicked a lot from the goal square

So Slo Mo reckons that NSW quarantine is the Gold Standard!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Been better than Victoria so far but lets wait and see. Problem is letting unvaccinated people in from overseas. IMO the border should just be shut. No o/s trips period. No-one comes in. Seems to me that every outbreak is the result of...

Wouldn't mind seeing Howard forward depending on who we are playing against.

Leave battle in 1 position. He is not great in any so let's find one and leave him there.

Reckless Contact, High Contact, High Impact. Has to be minimum 3 weeks, surely? No plea deals here..... No free kick to Clark, I think :shock: Not too much remonstration from Saints players, innit? It was not reckless. It was intentional. Severe, high with a 4+ week penalty. The moment he went pass...

I don't think he should go but I thought the same with Ben Long when he had his hip head butted, look how that turned out. I am equally as disappointed with the side's response from that moment, tragically limp. On Matthew Richardson, is he Special Comments or just Obvious Comments? He's painful to...

I wonder if it was Ben Long in Mackay’s place if the channel 7 commentators would have said that Ben was ‘going for the footy’ Farcccking wankers!! Paddy Dangerfield copped 3 weeks because he chose to bump and broke Kelly’s jaw. If that was Ben Long going for the footy and he broke someone’s jaw, t...

Not hard enough at the contest for long enough. They wanted it more and when they got a sniff, their confidence grew.

The push in the back rule. Ffs. Tom Hawkins gets away with it every week. We get tackled and drop the ball. Free kick. They do the same. Play on. Grrrr

are we trying to be financially viable by not having a full compliment of players on our list?
Seems strange to only use 1 pick when we have a few spots on our list.

Should not be allowed to kick the ball. Need Hill or someone else to receive a handball at all times.

one paced, King not strong enough yet to clunk pack marks consistently. No forward structure. No structural change when getting pumped. Carlisle back, Howard forward etc. Put different players in the midfield. Billings, Butler etc
Ryder back will help but we need speed. Too many plodders.

lot lvl2 bay 30 row c. Got tickets at 3:15pm.

If not back, he needs to present more around the ground. He is one of few that is tall and can take a grab, but generally never goes up or presents. If he can add this to his game, he could be very damaging.

our turn overs with the inability to hit a target is what hurt us. Melbourne scored against us due to this.

I am amazed that Ben Long ( I think it was him ) didnt get done for giving Hopper a tummy tickler. He (Hopper) stopped and was on the ground holding his tummy while the ball circled around him for a few minutes. Unless it happened fairly ?

as someone else has already stated. Carlisle is now too slow and will be a liability on fast grounds.
