We had 21 shots on goal.

That's enough to win the game and shows that there was nothing wrong with the way we played in terms of creating scoring opportunities.


MUST improve. Should not be converting at anything less than 50% ever.

Our structure gave us have 21 shots on goal (enough to win).

Ugly to watch, but not sure there's too much wrong when your gamestyle gives you 21 shots at goal.

There are no other teams that can play lock-down like Sydney, so with a bit of luck we should have more shots at goal against other teams.

We missed Goodard and Gram big time. They can break a flood because they are 70-80m players - they can kick 60m and run 20m and it breaks the flooding tempo of a game. Huge weapons to have ... Kennelly the same for Sydney. Gram was out of the game completely and got cut to pieces by O'Keefe. Bad coa...

What if we'd kicked accurately from our scoring shots?

We had 21 shots on goal.

AFL footballers should be able to kick 14 of those at least IMO ...

Should be kicking 15.6 Goal kicking sometimes suffers a bit early in the season because of fatigue from lack of match fitness, but we played four pretty solid NAB Cup games, so that shouldn't be much of an issue ... Need to fix it. Cost us two matches and a finals spot last year. Let's hope it doesn...

Please cast your votes here for the best St Kilda players from Round 1.

All votes will be counted for the saintsational.com Medal for 2008, details of which can be seen in the sticky at the top of this page.

Please put your votes in a 5-4-3-2-1 format.

Cheers!

St Kilda has the highest number of supporters in Western Australia of the 14 non-WA clubs I believe ...

So there is a case for us getting more coverage than most of the other Vic clubs.


But acknowledge your points Lynch Beast

Sounds like he has found a bit more focus in his life in general in the past twelve months too ...

Love ya Kosi!

Unless one banner receives an absolute majority of the votes (i.e. 51%), then the two most popular banners will be chosen from this poll, and another poll created to determine which is the new banner.

Troll.

Will be banned.

I think Washedup sums up Bryce Gibbs the best of anyone:

The changing face of footy Michael Voss | March 20, 2008 I CAN'T help but think Rod Butterss might be sitting back in his palatial home at Brighton, sipping a cold sauv blanc, with a big "I told you so" smirk on his face. Or a frustrated snarl. Or whatever it is you get when the club in wh...

Significant new sponsor on board ... huge result for Greg Westaway and his board. Great work on their behalf. That's three new sponsors (Jeld-Wen, UD Trucks and ISC) who have been lured in the past three months. Well done to Archie too. New board fulfilling their promises .... and to think of all th...

Not a fan of the cross either.

Tonight I will be taking all the entries and making a poll to decide the best banner.

So if you've got a late entry, get it in!

Sensational video montage of Harvey.

He's not a quarter of the player he used to be .... and he's still a standout at AFL level.

Clearly better than Judd at his best.

Bloody sensational.

A heap of stuff on there already and it's quality, candid and not just crap written to please.

Great work by the club.

Love it!

Judd is now the equivilent of picking up a new smoking hot 24 yo girlfriend then finding out she has 3 kids and the oldest is 8......"

What a line!

One of your best posts stinger .... you've still got it


Carlton looked more of a rabble than at this time last year ...

Supply all Westaway's trucks.

Were prepared to sign at $1.5 million per year to be our major sponsor.

Got trumped by Jeld-Wen for $2m a year.


Great to see them on board ... will boost our sponsorship nicely.

Haha thanks MB :P I think the way we played against Geelong (when we pretty much had our full forwardline in) was hopefully/probably the best indication of how we will play this year. I think RL likes to adapt when we play different teams - e.g. against Adelaide and Sydney, I think we will go for mo...

Yeah, but you've got to look at who Sydney have ...

Hall - S. Fisher
O'Loughlin - Hudghton (or Gilbert/Gram)
Goodes - Blake

?

They don't have any other big forwards, so playing Rix would be useless IMO

Extremely interesting analysis. Would love you to post it on BigFooty and see the reaction 8-) Shows how well we did last year considering .... It would not be possible IMO to have another year with as bad a run of injures ('06/'05 weren't as bad IMO). So on that basis we should improve from 9th thr...
