Glad the club backs first gamers in with a spot in the 22.

Are you forgetting we played NWM7 as a sub in R1 last year? Even worse … unused.

His body will not fully mature for another two years. That was the excuse being used 2 years ago. Many of the current great tall forwards were a lot more dependable at the same age. What? Like say, Oscar Allen? You know - the one who missed all of last year with feet issues? Tom Hawkins? Fat and in...

It’s just really simple. Don’t kick it to May and Lever all fvcking night. If we do what we did with Harris Andrews and James Sicily then, that shows the players are incredibly dumb and not even nearly as coachable as RtB proclaims. Novel idea … as soon as the footy is forward of centre - smash it i...

There’s a lot of the Godard’s about him. Except Goddard was pretty much the best player in the comp in 2010.

Howard isn’t in the top 150

Get off the fvcking senior list Howard you incompetent dolt. Fvck me: we’re 3 goals down and he’s the direct cause of 3 of them.

Imagine that Pillock in a final.

Yes, the fact that the Hawks self reported to the AFL does say a bit Point of order as that is 100% incorrect - as confirmed by Jeff Kennett this morning. The Hawks commissioned a report as a result of some allegations (stupidly so by not putting in place a framework for the investigation, any guar...

Can use it….
Peris? Not so much

What's very clear is that RtB likes runners. Above pretty much everything else. There's no better runner in the entire AFL than Peris. And it's not even close

The like-for-like with Gresham is actually Jack Peris (who's done way more than Connolly and is a significantly better runner). A bit puzzling

He looked very proppy. Like he couldn't put his full weight through one foot. Gresham actually looked way better by comparison. Would not at all be surprised if Campbell plays

Coach has absolutely no influence on injury in a game of AFL footy Fitness guy has some impact - not much Most injuries are caused by pushing one’s body beyond its limits, or collisions The only responsibility is when over or under training is at play Walsh quit - he wasn’t sacked Wonder why?! Caus...

I can't see for the life of me why we'd ever want him. I must confess that I have never even been totally sold on Max. Undoubtedly, he's terrific at winning the ball inside the forward 50, and is amazingly good for a big man when the ball's on the ground. But, like St Nick before him,I wouldn't put...

Smothers and forward line delivery were the issues I saw, disposal efficiency effected both sides because of the pressure of both teams. Membrey and King in that side and add a touch of Steele and Webster I think we win. Injuries weren't really a thing in this game - they were as depleted as we wer...

If it’s any consolation - Nathan Buckley knows exactly where it’s at and explains it perfectly. Not exactly a glowing character reference for Murphy. Call Bucks as a witness https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/st-kilda-saints/afl-2023-st-kilda-vs-collingwood-anthony-caminiti-hit-on-nathan-murphy-...

I am still not convinced he hit him high Unless there is other vision Was this the incident that caused the concussion?? Can a hit in chest cause concussion via a head jolt Cammo forearmed him to the jaw in the end but Murphy dropped just as Cammo got him. It was supposed to be a forearm to the che...

Hammer’s in some definite strife. Confirmed post match that Murphy came off with concussion and can’t play Anzac Day.

His only hope is insufficient force but, it was high and off the ball.

The Blues aren’t weak. But they are terribly one-paced and got shown up tonight by a side with some zip and energy. It’s all on Sam Walsh to play inside and outside. They have to win clearances otherwise they are absolutely r00ted as they get left for dead when the ball leaves the stoppage area. Ade...

slightly smaller but plays like Cripps (Blues) mainly though as a forward bull like He’s no longer smaller. He’s now 194-ish cms tall after his summer growth spurt. I thought it was bollocks until I saw him nose to nose with Josh Bruce (who’s 197cm) in the goalsquare in r2. He’s going to be a monst...

We need another Phillpou or 2 in the draft to really give it a shake At least, you need at least 9 A graders to challenge. Hunter is probably the the only one that is in the sweet spot to show if he has got A grade in him. the 2nd year players still need a couple more years before we will know if t...

Not a great sign he hasn’t signed.. From the little I know he seems very happy, the club isn’t worried, and his manager is just after as many biccies as he can get Great news. A poster on BF is alleging that Bergman wants to come back home to St Kilda even if NWM stays. If true it would be nice to ...

If this forum is a sample size of all members, then clearly we don’t care about winning and it isn’t the number 1 priority. Then filters through and this is what we have, a sub-par professional sports club. Couldn't agree more. St Kilda just doesn't seem very focused on winning premierships and tra...

Wouldn't it have been better for Max King if he was spelled and came out fresh instead of just playing him every game in 2021 and 2022 He seemed fit but there were several games were his work rate and enthusiasm seemed to be lacking Playing as a key forward in Ratten’s chaotic “choose your own adve...

He’s such a natural footballer but still a blob of an athlete. He’s the one who looks like he’s struggling to play the plan and all the running it requires.

I can see Jack Peris replacing him very soon.

I think Owens has to start some mid rotations now .. it’s a brutal gameplan to execute and we’re going to need his big frame at times at clearances. Some perspective on his new size … he was nose to nose with Josh Bruce last night. Beast of a size for a mid.
