1. I just felt sorry for Ferg. Was caught out all the time because our midfielders could never get the footy. But don't think he is ready. 2. Watters wants skillful players in, Currens foot skills an issue. Just like Ray I think Watters isn't the biggest fan of Ledger. Although is tearing it up at v...

Was useless tonight sure, but overall calling him a terrible footballer is over the top.

Saad I think needs a lengthy spell in the vfl. But Milne needs one too. Milera and TDL not up to it atm? Small forwards in 2013 is a big issue.

[quote="gringo"]Wow what do you expect from kids. they don't come in and become stars in 20 games even unless they are Judd or Selwood. At 50 games tell me how bad they are but you are just guessing.

+1 Fully agree. People expect immediate improvements, it's not going to happen.

Hickey has played what? 20 games?
I know we all want immediate results but we are just going to have to be patient and let him and White develop. You can't compare them to other draftees 10 or 20 games into their careers.

We will have more of an idea after they have played 50 games.

He might be older and past it. But after the previous 2 and 1/2 games I think he should come back in. He won't stop trying and could certainly do better than some of the players in our 22 tonight.

Does St Kilda have some? At the end of the game last night there was a couple of saints players chatting and laughing with the Adelaide players. I'm not sure how many people may have noticed it, I know Steven was one of the culprits. Considering he had a poor game and we just lost by 7 goals, it was...

Is the kids seeing the performances of some of the senior guys (Milne, Dal, Kosi, Fisher). How are they meant to improve and be guided well when these guys don't want to put in any effort? They look almost uninterested and sets a poor example. Thankfully Roo, Lenny and Joey are trying their hearts o...

Saad has been out of form for a few weeks, kosi has been out of form for a few years. Big difference, will be lucky to reach 200 games the way he is going.

Has got the talent, but body lets him down too much. Better options will be around.
When does his contract end at the dogs?

Have people actually thought about the fact that maybe St Kilda have just been undisciplined these first 3 rounds? We have made a lot of sloppy mistakes and silly decisions.

Might have been quite an attack on him last week. But he was brilliant tonight. Clearance work and attack on the ball was class.

Didn't we say this at the same time last year about Milne? Then went on to kick 55+ goals. He'll be bouncing around again

It's that umpire #32 Mollison w*nker. He has something against us. Pretty sure he was the umpire in the Collingwood game last year too.

Thought he was one of our worst last night. His confidence in his kicking was as low as it's ever been. Don't you wish sometimes that he would just kick it forwards instead of spinning in circles, only to handball it to someone about to get caught. When on Ablett last night he got slaughtered too. S...

Was listening earlier on and they were discussing about how we went on Sunday and how we will travel in the year ahead. Interesting to hear one person say that we will cause upsets and be a nuisance to other sides in the afl vying for finals. Predicted a development year and to finish between 9-13th...

Hickey will get the #1

[/quote]Wow, these "tall" backs just keep getting shorter! Alex Silvagni is 191cm, Kris Pendlebury is 190cm. You didn't mention Roberton there, but he's 191 as well. We've already got Simpkin, Fisher, Dempster who are 191 so I'm not sure why we'd grab more guys at the same height.[/quote] ...

I don't think St Kilda will even take a look at Mitch Brown next year. Similar to the situation with Geelong/Hawthorn and Tom Gillies in 2011.

Is Alex Silvagni still a possibility? Kris Pendlebury?

No Schneider?

Forget the fact that we lost. What I saw tonight was something that was broken all through 2011. The spirit and dedication shown from the boys tonight was top class. Even with the odds heavily stacked against us we never gave up and had their been another minute in the game, I think we might have pi...

Sure, there were some questionable decisions throughout the game. But it didn't lose us the match. 1st half we were horrid, and if your 49 points down at 1/2 time then usually you're not going to win. The free kick count was 25-16 Eagles way. Although Wilkes gave away at least 3 or 4 frees right in ...

We really didn't have many other options. He was put down there I think to try and crash some packs and attempt to nulify one of the talls. Turned into a bit of a disaster for him though didn't it?

Would have been nice to have Ledger today, could have really had an influence in the last quarter at the stoppages. Unfortunately we only had Ray with 2 touches.

I think your on a good point here con, Curren has been working extremely hard all pre-season and today had 31 touches I think. Dunnell kicked 5 goals and Shenton has shown nice glimpses in the nab. Sounds like Simon McPhee isn't doing too bad at all
