dont think we need a new whipping boy. Raph and Zac are good enough. We can blame them for not being out there.

I just hope they have learnt from their failed experiment down in Tassy last time. Supporters hated it, players hated it, I am sure sponsors werent thrilled.

what is it with the preoccupation with money? I thought they played for the supporters. The ones that can go. The members who fork out their hard earned, just to miss out on games as they double sell the tickets. StKilda wont keep 40,000 members if they sell their sole (games) interstate.

Jack will flurish away from the shadow of Nick. It was a mistake with Armo as I dont think he is ever going to be a star or a player to build a team around, but I dont think Jack would have been the best option. Saying that he would be more than handy at the moment with Nick injured and Kozi being o...

He is no star, but is a great solid player. Much improved over his career. (He gets better each year.) His greatest attribute is that he always puts in 100%. He is not always 100% effective, 100% skilled or 100% right in decision makinh, but there appears to be 100% effort and commitment to the caus...

Played well. Still doesnt move the ball on fast enough, therefore puts himself under pressure and ends up missing the intended target.
If he didnt leave it to the last second to dispose of the ball he would improve remarkably.

At least we arent playing in YELLOW anymore.

He should be coaching now ....
- Kozi how to mark
- Zac / Fisher / Gilbert / current backman playing FF, how to play in the forwardline.

Not sure whether I would get him to coach kicking for goal .....

I am not a Zac fan, and think the only reason he gets a game is that we have no alternative tall backman. He desperately needs a spell, however with Richmond and Adelaide coming, he should stay as he will get the better of Porpus and Riewaldt. If not it is the end for him. Both backmen arent gorilla...

all clubs go through a hard patch during the year ... The Saints are just going through it at the moment .......


Del Usion is a good city to visit.

cant trade Kozi to GC.What would we get ... pick 54 ? Only 1 top 10 in B&F (first year). Nominal Brownlow points, Was a first around pick, but that would be worth stuff all in the current calculation for reward. Kozi is no Ablett special case.

Kozi going for the ball in the forward line is good, as more often than not he brings the ball to ground in the contest (that or takes a few players out (from either team)).

he is progressing...he hasn't been hit in the face by the ball whilst going for a mark since his first game..... :lol:[/quote] hahahaha ... could only get better from there ..... unfortunately his career has gone the same way as that kick for goal .... off course. I cant see him as anything but a ru...

The only issue I have with Ross is that he gets his mind made up about players ... eg ..
Dislike
- Ball
- Maguire
- Maxi

Favourites
- Raph
- Zac

He does need to come up with some new strategies to kick goals without throwing out the game plan.

schneider and Milne are out of form. Fisher is not as influencial as last year. kozi is turning more and more into Mr Magoo Enough said about Zac. Mini / Armo at best ordinary MCEvoy is going backwards King is a waste of space But the biggest issue is that there seems to be no flexibilty in the team...

King = Old and slow Big Mac = Young and Clumsey Big Mac can improve. However I would have Gardiner in ruck. Kozi as back up ruck. Blake as fail safe (emergency). Therefore can utilise some more running players. Consistently King / Gardiner / Kozi have the lowest possession for the team and lowest ef...

why isnt Del used forward moreoften. A few years ago he kicked 5 in a quarter. Rotate Goddard and Del through FF.

If we are using backmen in the forwardline, the highest priority at training should be goal kicking. I simply cannot believe professional footballers look so bad when they line up from a set shot. The run ups are awful, instead of kicking through the ball their heads come up, they bounce, skip, trip...

Mr Magoo (Kozi) is putting in, but just appears to be completely out of form. But due to our abundance of forwards he is required to play. Even if it is to cause chaos in the forwardline.

Goddard was slow starting but had exceptional skills. None of these marginal players are showing anything but being average players, which will end up either in obscurity or being a list clogger. We had a truelly truelly awfull off season, Maguire is now staring, Ball is staring, Lovett (nothing to ...

Raph just needs to stop thinking about what to do, and just go with his first instinct. He over analyses his options and gets caught in the headlights.

He has taken Xavier Clarkes position in the team ... Centre of the Medical Room

Zac is just not strong enough. He appears to be scared. If I was his size against the gorillas he plays against I would be very scared, he looks like a skinny school boy against a man. Watch him one on one. He never touches the forward, or entertains the prospect of wrestling them (or even knocking ...

The team should be ranked in importance for a Premiership. Eg Roo, Del, Lenny etc down to fringe players and rookies. Once the list is conducted pick the team from the bottom. Rookies first, fringe second and finally those like Gwilt, Raph ....
NAB Cup ... who cares!!

Max is still one of the best Fullbacks in the competition. Zac is what the Saints need to enable Max to get FULLY rehibilliated before coming back into the side, and not rushed back like every other time he has been injured (and hence spent more time on the sidelines). Take your time Max as your spo...
