Re: What Will RL Do Now That He's Our Coach Again?

The off season is St Kilda supporters paradise - We always feel much more comfortable when we don't have to recover from the previous round or brace ourselves for the next one. This year it's our lucky-dip coach and repatriated brethren to lift our spirits, for those of us who are game. OK, I've bou...

Re: Nick Coffield is…

I’m not sold on Coffield Hesitates Lyon won't tolerate hesitation. If that’s the case, then it’s odds on that Nick and JB and Hilly and maybe even Seb Ross will be among the first players to be dropped. They have to change the way they both defend…. and also the way they attack the footy from this ...

Yeah well I have been a skeptic too but willing to go for the ride, surely Ross Lyon will be hungry for a Premiership too, lets hope he gets one before he loses interest again.

Re: The Ride

I have been skeptical over Ross Lyon but was always going to get on board and support the team onfield and coaching staff when all the recent rehash was over, and I didn't see a guaranteed better option - and I must say I didn't see myself feeling this positive at this time of the year.

Re: Welcome Ross Lyon

I guess I should welcome the news - things couldn't get much worse, but ponder the hype, after all in his most recent 4 years as a coach he didn't get Freo anywhere near the top 8 on the ladder and never got above 13th in that period. Not saying I felt comfortable with Brett Rattan but he has much b...

All those supporters yearning for a coach who can't win a flag and then dumps clubs with a desperate need to rebuild.

Re: Brad Hill - trade?

With the report of Brad Hill interested in going to North Melbourne it could end up being good for St Kilda since the current coaching staff haven't worked out how to use his strengths anyway. but you can bet Clarkson will if he wants him. Hill seems to have worked out that the Saints aren't going a...

Re: Predictions. St Kilda vs Brsisbane

When I first saw it was a Friday night game I immediately became depressed. Hower, in my tipping I went for Saints by 11 points, but that was just hopeful because my tipping lately has been deplorable.

We beat them last time even though Higgins was subbed off and Steele played three quarters with one functioning arm. So it’s got to be possible.

Be positive.
Yep, Saint's by 14 points

Re: 2023 - YOT Rabbit

Thanks, I might be old and a bit thick, but if the players keep standing with their mouths open when Hill starts breaking lines he'll just do what he has now resorted to by just passing the ball off to someone else instead, so he doesn't waste his possession completely. That's one of the things that...

Re: Hannebery to play next week

Well, I've read all the viewoints but my view is simplisic. We all know we are almost certainly not going to win the flag and we'll be lucky to get in the eight anyway, so if the selection committee reckons he's ok to go, I'm quite happy to take a punt. What can we lose?
