Re: Billings

Bloody hell this joint is odd. Post Rd 1 Billings was on the verge of A grade and post Rd 3 he is now tradeable in the space of 2 weeks. 2 years ago he was a dud and this year he is becoming a superstar also. f*** me drunk. Billings is only 22 or 23 and is a good B grade player at the moment. He cl...

Re: Richo Press Conference - "Positive"

Thought the press conference was fair enough. Poor 3rd Quarter, and for efficient ball use, especially in the forward half, we were smashed. However, controlled a lot of the play, particularly in the first half, and really should have been in front at half time. Really need to sort out the forward m...

Re: Show some flaming ticker

Wow. I was well away from footy/pixel land for a week or so, missed the North game (fortunately) - from a few mates was a pretty poor performance. Go onto SS, and didn't realise it was this BAD! I mean, after reading a few posts: St Kilda FC will be taken over by the AFL within a couple of years, at...

Re: How did Billy Longer go?

He certainly shouldn't be gifted games and hasn't to date as far as I recall. He is the best option for ruck by some distance at the moment imo.

Re: How did Billy Longer go?

Billy did not look fully match fit to me and needed the run. They couldn't pick Hick because he is poor at the moment and is barely providing a contest in the ruck. Couple of marks around the ground is not as valuable as hit outs to advantage. I agree Billy lost the hit outs, but with the run will i...

Re: No A graders?

I reckon Jack Steven is A grade, Ross virtually there. Billings and Gresham not yet.

Can't see Carlisle as A grade at the moment, has been solid, but nothing special.

With his concussion history I will be happy gets through the first 6 or so games with no hassles, even if he does not have much impact, and even with a game off. Can hardly be flying with confidence, after his issues. Needs games under his belt and I am confident he will deliver. No more concussions...

Re: Another tragic twist of the tale to missing out on Judd.

Interesting story. With our luck if we had landed Judd he would have got OP in 2004 and had his career cruelled. Who is to say? Even with Ball being half the player in 2009, maybe he should had got more playing time in the GF - might have changed things. Kicked a vital goal in 2010. You could go on ...

No. Two capable men had a collision and a difference of opinion. More a battle of wills. Richomwins as the incumbent, but we lost a valuable assistant or possible senior coach. The milk bar kid is a good option, but he's not perfect. Several of his underlings think the same thing. Just sayin'. Sour...

We finished 11th last year. We haven't made finals for 7 years and are unlikely to this year. We still don't have any elite players on our list. We're going gangbusters. The prosecution rests.
