Only Armitage has improved for me. Lenny has been great for years, so he hasn't improved as such. Disappointments plenty though. Both Clarkes, both Fishers the biggest culprits. Fraser is finished so let him go out on his own terms. Fiora would be better off somewhere else, and Rix is not AFL stand...

Cheers on both responses, and I agree with your first post however I'm pretty keen on getting a few more new blokes into the team at the moment.

Why have you all got it in for Dempster? He didn't have a bad game there were about 12 worse players than him!! It's not all about stats but here are his from Friday! 13 kicks, 8 HB, 21 P, 7 Ma, 2 Tac, 3 FF, 1 FA Not too bad I think!!! But what impact did his possesions have? I only listened to the...

SaintsRrising, how do you see Schneider at the moment, like you I was extremely excited when we picked him up and felt it was playing dividends in the early games but he seems to be struggling at the moment, I honestly think he needs to be dropped down to find some form, you've named him in the side...

It's funny with our team at the moment, we seemingly have a load of power forwards yet can't find someone to settle into Full Forward, I think our midfield is now settled and we finally have a ruck division with the ability to win the taps yet the only holes I see in our line up are us being one gen...

Alot is being said about Kosi's best position, I still see him as a full forward, at the moment I think it's a confidence thing... despite what people say he does have a fair bit of speed for a man of his size and definetly can impose in marking situations. agree. with fraser seemingly finished he ...

They've been said before and alot over the last couple of weeks but I believe Dal has to prove once again he can play against a higher quality opposition, a decent game against a young/struggling side every 3 weeks isn't enough, Gram looks so out of form/soft for the ball that he's a shadow of the ...

Armitage is showing some fantastic signs, not only can he slot one (should have kicked 3 goals at least) his field kicking is decent and he has alot of mongrel and loves getting to the packs, reminds me of Luke Hodge and I think he'll end up being a good pick up.

The first ten minutes of last night

Were amazing, that's the best I've seen St Kilda move in a long time, I know we held up soon after that but our delivery up forward and run off the backline was blistering... Montagna has really found his niche, the kid can bloody run.

Roo could play full forward much the same way that Jonathon Brown does, I like the idea of Kosi at CHF in the more traditional role.
