BULL f****** s*** SS!!!! We are not busting our arse!!!!! What f****** game are you watching!!! Before you tee off at other posters on here get you facts right. WE BUSTED OUR ARSE FOR 1 and 1/2 QTRS. WHAT ABOUT THE REST!!! * How easy did the crows move the ball in 1st half?? * How little pressure di...

Roo and BJ are clearly still affected by 09/10 GF losses, as are others. You may be great players but my message to both players is: "Get back on the bike, re focus and ride harder than ever before." If you can't or are not able to do than then make way for others who are prepared to give ...

Could not agree more with your opening statement.

The biggest question becomes "what do we do with this deadwood for the next 17 weeks"?

If we do nothing else for the rest of the year we must play players who will be part of the future More importantly we must pick 22 each week who are committed to 100% intenstity and 100% application. Any player who can't get their minds around doing this should play at Sandy for the rest of the yea...

NO

I would guess bottom 6 at this rate

NO, NO and NO

Has really lifted his workrate, great effort DA

If only his other 21 teammates could do the same..

Absolutely NO URGENCY in taking the game on...

You can forgive skill errors to some degree but for how much longer are going to have to endure this benign level of intensity and application??

It's embarassing...

1. 26 years old 2. On the verge of the prime years in his footy career - ruckmen develop later than others 3. In the leadership group at St Kilda, and 4. Be Captain of St Kilda This guy is a born leader and below the current leadership group is the next apparent leader. For those whacking Macca left...

Who are the real leaders (on and off field) at St Kilda... How strong and brave these leaders really are..... Who are team players and who are individuals.... Who will make the sacrifices required to be the best and who will not.... but more importantly: WHO WILL GIVE ALL UNTIL THEY CAN GIVE NO MORE...

True guts and determination

It is once said pressure creates diamonds, thats what we saw tonight....

2 more wins to history.......

You would have thought so by the media commentators views on tonights football shows, taking about who the saints will play next week. (BS) It's one thing to jump on the bandwagon of geelong (like every other fair weather supporter), but it's another thing to underestimate the Saints in 2010. Make n...

Maybe the comparison should be Dawson vs Gwilt

When the pressure was on our backs today Zac's skills weren't great

For mine, Zac might play good one-on-one but he is too one dimensional

Under pressure he needs to use the ball better.

I'd take Miles...

Why?
* Quicker
* Better skills
* Better at ground level

B. Baker \ Gwilt \ Blake
HB. Gilbert \ Fisher \ Goddard
C. Gram \ Jones \ Montagna
HF. Peake \ Roo \ Ray
FF. Milne \ Kosi \ Schneider
Ruck. Gardi \ Dal \ Lenny
IC. Steven \ Miles \ Macca \ Eddy

In - Schneider, Steven, Milne, Baker, Eddy
Out - Dawson, Armitage, McQualter, Dempster, Geary

Today at AAMI we were never going to win without schneider or milne.

With the pressure put on by the crows all over the ground, they wanted this win much more than we did.

I would be more concerned about the injury to chips than our loss today...

IMO, the answer to this is to rotate Roo 50% FF and 50% CHF depending on how each game is going. That being said I would take Kosi off the ground or move him into the ruck when Roo plays FF. Kosi is not mobile enough to play CHF. Apart from who gets the ball, another key factor is WHERE our forwards...

These stats are until round 17: STANLEY Rds 11-14 (Avg) 4 kicks, 4 handballs, 4 marks, 1 tackle and 0.5 goals KOSI 12 games played (Avg) 5 kicks, 5 handballs, 5 marks, 2 tackles and 1 goals When Kosi played with Stanley in Rounds 11-13 he averaged 3 tackles a game, when he played with Roo since he h...

1. If you are going to have a big, slow tall bloke in your team ONLY play him in the ruck or occasional forward. In today's game a slow lumbering permanent forward effectively creates an extra player for the opposition. 2. Whilst we were ordinary last night - as long as we choose to play a lumbering...

If this game was played in R22 we would be farked.... We have four weeks to turn things around against teams who want to finish the year with a few scalps. We have four weeks to get the hunger and aggression back into our game. Last nights game was the worst I had seen in a few years but our core gr...

Good post

we outscored the bombers from Q2 to Q4 but so what the damage was done...

Heard on MMM's this arvo reports that Zac had surgery this morning to fix a break or fracture to his hand.

Not sure how long he will be out but who's going to step up to take his spot for 2-4 weeks???

With many posters pointing out and debating the merits of Zac in our team, one key issue needs to be taken into consideration. Apart from Lenny who is a gun inside mid, our other mids are more outside mids who do some inside work but not to the level of Lenny. If Lenny is not winning the footy and g...

After watching last weeks game live at the G and seeing the Hawks belt the Lions on the replay, I wasn't sure if we would be able take any points off the Hawks tonight. I think we can win every week but last weeks form was very ordinary, low on confidence and defensive pressure. To take 2 points fro...
