*Raph Clarke didn't lose us this game... *Welcome back Goddard *I don't know what the problem is, but there is something seriously wrong with a team that can start a game like we did VS Sydney and the WB and finish the way we have on both nights It reminds of the fadeouts in the Tim Watson era *Clas...

Another rumour going round is that Eagleton may be a late out for Street

But no1..... Heath Black, biggest waste of time player in the AFL... only in 2004 did he come even close to reaching his potential... has gone backwards ever since I'm guessing you didn't watch much footy 2005-2007 ;) lol, i'll bite nonetheless (never miss an opportunity to share my view on HB) I h...

I would have to agree that the Blake free kick was the worst I have ever seen (at any level). Absolutely disgraceful and that umpire should not be let near an AFL game again. I was once running the boundary U17s in the SE league... a player picked the ball up in the middle, weaved through a pack, 2...

would have prefered Raph in the team ahead of Blake

am very glad to see Goddard back though

Chad "Lefty" Davis... just never took to him Mark Gale... awful awful player Matthew Capuano... only player in the AFL that made Josh Fraser look like an excellent tap ruckman and Matt Maguire a capable ruck Never really liked Gavin Mitchell either But no1..... Heath Black, biggest waste o...

How can you drop CJ after his effort in the forward line? What does that send to the players? Lyon has highlighted it a number of times, has to play...whether his form warrants it or not. says that: 5 kicks (1 clanger) 4 handballs (7 unconested possessions) 4 marks in 66minutes of football may not ...

How dare anyone knock a bloke who is prepared to risk his life for the sake of the team and supporters? I guess this is the fundamental area of disagreement... I just don't get this logic. Just because players try hard and are brave does not mean that they are good AFL level footballers. Fergus Wat...

Gilbert's spoiling will need to improve by then...

i love this kid, definetly the weakest part of his game though

thats a nice way to top off what has been a tense week

wish this had recieved a little more attention

wasn't TS40 dropped following his game against Brisbane when he kicked the winning goal

only decent thing he did that night... u can argue that yes he was the match winner but had a more effective player been in his place, we may have been 15-20 points up at that time

Johnno...

you're a champ... my fav non-saint player

you would look great in red, white and black

excuse me!!! Just because I haven't played AFL football doesn't mean that I can't have an opinion about how well somebody played it's not rocket science I suppose you're sending the same message to all fans who have praised and complimented players because those supporters haven't played AFL b4 eith...

Did Goddard tell you that himself???

I don't know how jones has cememted a spot all of a sudden...

Raph and Geary were much much better

don't let that mark take away from the fact that he was useless all night. the guy has no football brain... all night every time he was involved in a 2 on one he just ran 3 meters next to the carrier... didn't block, didn't run on for the handball... useless kicking was horrible, was generally ineff...

Gram, Gilbert and Fiora showed us why Raph is in this team... he can spoil. He gets to contests and puts his fist on the ball even when he's out of position... the other 3 were woeful at this all night. he made a few bad disposals did Raph but he is a quality defender, I think he needs to play furth...

????

what injury has he gotten playing in the ruck that he wouldn't have had playing as a forward?

would love to see Aaron Fiora reach his talent...

has all the tools to be an elite footballer

one gets the impression that with GT gone, the club is hoping to... reap the rewards by toeing the line

ST KILDA B: Gilbert, Hudghton, L Fisher HB: Gram, S Fisher, Raph C: X Clarke, Hayes, Montagna HF: Harvey, Riewoldt, Schneider F: Gehrig, Koschitzke, Milne Foll: King, Dal Santo, Ball I/C: M. Gardiner, Geary, Armitage, C. Gardiner Emg: Jones, Birss, Fiora Similar to most teams but personally I wouldn...

When GT took over as coach, the club had no money and no means to put in place what GT wanted... times changed, we got a bit of $$$ and GT implemented what he wanted, the way he wanted and for a while it worked... we were top of the line the problem with GT was that he ran out of ideas... he took us...

Was just watching Footy Classified and they replayed the discussion between GT and DB and the former was heard to remark: "Signs of wear and tear were evident last year... Robert Harvey would want to improve on that performance" or words to that effect is that seriously what all the furore...

the only thing that worries me about Ross Lyon is his selection policy... was awful at times last but I'm hoping that we can attribute that more to injuries tended to pick an abundance of defensive players at times and nearly destroyed Raph by playing him for a month straight after a longterm injury...

Geeez I think some of u guys are hard markers... I wonder if Raph wasn't a high draft pick and brother of X, would our expectations be so high he's a young, injury prone kid, who is expected to play as a versatile KPP/quarterback midfielder. he's one of the better defenders in this team who's dispos...

Lenny Hayes,may not have got many possessions but his tackling and harassing scored us 2 or 3 goals by its self...... This guy's work ethic is second to none. Anyone agree sure do, by the way, how's Jarryn Geary? Haven't heard much about your relationship with him following that conversation you ha...
