Re: Tony 74, What's up with Billings?

Looks like Tony 74 is withholding sensitive information. Absolutely nothing wrong with Jack. Lacking a touch of confidence at the moment and working his way through new roles and Challenges. As they are all. Bit sore and battered but no more than anyone else. The complete team man and club man. We ...

They'll have won 3 in a row and lost their hunger by then. Ripe for the plucking. Our timing will be perfect.

Tony 74, What's up with Billings?

Is he injured, out of form, ahead of himself, down on form/confidence, does he want to be there? Been down for a while now. Anyone on the inside know if there's anything going on?

On what basis? He might be but how would we know. On any objective measure, he's done what? Not winning, membership crap, making losses and increasing debt. Speaks okay in media though.

Re: I'm not convinced about Al....

Is Richo a bit old school? I wonder why so many clubs turned him down for a head coach role. Even we did the first time. I wonder if he doesn't have a tactically radical approach to the game that many clubs seem to look for. Well when the senior players refer to him as mini-GT, they're not being co...

Re: Freeman due back in the devs

Good that he got through, I've got high hopes for this kid. I hope he's a gun partly for our midfield's sake and, secondly, to spite Collingwood, I hope we are able to navigate the fine line between being over cautious with the kid and getting him to senior football. If his body holds up and his fo...

Re: Open Mike - St Kilda's troubled history

I'm not sure, I found Barry's comments pretty relevant. If there was a cultural issue, it may have been the reason for failing in that period. It seems there were lots of different reasons in each of the premiership windows. I feel that in 2009 though, we were just so unlucky. He said it was club c...
