Our current group of midfield players would certainly know that their performance is below that of the best midfields in the competition. What does it say to the trust in your listed players? What does it say to the effort and performances of the team late in the year? It's like Ross isn't giving hi...

I often bemoan how woeful football commentary is. This explanation is gold but probably only scratches the surface of what's going on, on the field. BTW, if you go to the website there's a free pdf available - it's only about ruck setups but still really interesting for those of us trying to underst...

He was holding his wrist but from what I could see (sitting next to the bench) he poped his shoulder. They did try some overhead work to see if it was OK. However he knew immediately he was gone (the youngen next to me learnt some new words). He was holding his wrist as a way to stop his whole arm ...

Couldn't resist posting this - hasn't aged well, lol.

Great documentary!

"I know hate is a strong emotion and as a christian not supposed to be something I feel but I really really hate that effing c##ksucker. He is lucky someone hasn't tried to punch his ticket." No offence, but you're falling for it. Next thing angry people will be ringing SEN, etc. It's just...

But he’s right, our ball movement forward to the juggler King is slow and does allow backmen to gang up on him . You see it every game someone marks around forward side of the square and they prop dead and you can see they are waiting for our loose forward whether it’s King or another one to be man...

Wannabe shock jock trying to stir up some "outrage" and headlines.

Cornes is a "sport shock jock" and Lloyd is possibly the least intelligent "football analyst" currently going around, and that's saying something.

I agree. We aren't the only team doing it, but I don't understand why we let teams always do a short kick to a pocket then they work it up the ground. OK we have forced them wide but why not put pressure on them right from the start. A long kick out (not to the opposing ruckman) if not marked force...

Threesome?

Thanks for the offer but I think you've got the wrong forum

I'll be there!

I reckon we're a bottom 4 list playing middling football.

Lost the game - poor system

Or poor execution? Overall stats were mostly in our favour except for one which was glaringly obvious - disposal efficiency 77.2% to 71.7%

And BTW, we won clearances 38 to 34.

Dow, Clark, Pou, Paton, Sinclair, Owens, Higgins, Windhager, Henry, Crouch on one knee, anything but the current slow drip death by a thousand fumbles, high slow balls, handballing into space to oppo advantage... Dow, Clark, Crouch not ready, Higgins suspended, Henry no, Paton no, Pou no, Windhager...

I am attracted to the idea of possibly dropping Seb and Jack Steele. Seb needs to sharpen his disposal skills, work on using his right without giving up goals and Jack has almost become the anti leader, courage notwithstanding. They plod doggedly while other teams mids are greased lightening. Hardl...

Because he's not in the hot seat now?

Most of these games have followed the same trend of early struggles, and only starting to look dangerous when it was too late, or almost so.

Against Essendon in Round 3, St Kilda led at every change before going down...

Bit of a contradiction right there!

From what I can see, Kayo One is staying at $25/month. Only one device and no 4K.

Cheers!

From memory we did OK in 2010.

And by 2010 Lyon had been at St Kilda for three years and had coached us to a GF.

The original post seems to think that Ross 'needs' to appease the media. I think everyone here (except maybe the op) agrees that he doesn't need to make finals this year. I reckon with the mounting injury toll, he's got a ripper of an excuse. Any how, even without the injuries there was never a nee...
