Clark wanted to leave last year.

Does anybody know if that's still the case?

So, obviously no answer as to why comparing a playerto a past champion is denigrating to that player?

So comparing to a better player is denigrating?
Why?
Seb Ross knows he’s not as good a player as Lenny Hayes
He knows he’s not as good as Robert Harvey
Those facts don’t make him a bad player
Heck he’s won 2 b&fs
He’s just not as good as some others

Why not?
It’s true
He wasn’t as good as Plugger (the best full forward IMHO)

I would have thought that not being as good would certainly make you lesser, by definition
Doesn’t make you bad, just not as good as the bloke you’re comparing to.

Or maybe it’s about the mental state you’re in come game time?
Adelaide were “on” against us
Obviously they were “off” last week
Even at the selection table when they decided to “rest” Walker

It’s almost as if some posters derive more pleasure from us performing badly than they do when we perform well. What’s the lesson from that? So so true It’s just bizarre I’ve seen more posts since we’ve dropped a few games ready to attack the coach after 11 games It’s not even a joke …quite odd beh...

So North played to a much higher standard against Collingwood to only lose by 5 more points than they lost to us?

What’s the lesson from that?

Brian Cook, their CEO, knows the club has over committed to a handful of inconsistent or injury prone players, their list is flawed and their Salary cap is bulging. Looks like we get to rejoice in their misery for a few more years. :lol: There must come a point when even the most incompetent clubs ...

Also interesting which Richmond players coached St Kilda

Tony Jewel and Mike Patterson

So the questions remain unanswered How did our highly rated senior coach go against the rank novice in Kinsley? What aspects did our coaching group get right today? Kingsley?

It may simply be that opposition coaches have identified our key movers and have closed them down?
Wood and Hill haven’t been anywhere near as effective either.

Crouch has gone completely off the boil since Steele came back

I only watched the last qtr and there were at least 2 that were blatant (one he marked any way)
But he’s surely the only tall Full forward who doesn’t get infringed against by the opposition.

He was wearing a dress.
I cannot remember any other details though

IIRC
It was on StKilda Road, outside the NGV

According to Saints, Caminiti has signed a new 3 year deal

Schneider blitzes us in the 05 Prelim playing for the Swans. Misses several sitters in the 09 GF playing for the Saints which arguably could have been the difference. Apart from that, he was a good recruit. IIRC he also clapped an umpire after finally receiving a free kick - I think it was his last...

It’s not either or
We can produce a sub standard playing performance in the same game as the umpires do also

I noticed no-one is posting the cumulative free kick counts this season. Last season it was proof that the cheating maggots were reaming us. Surely the lopsided tally would validate the filthy, gutless, lily-lived maggots are cheating against us. For the record currently it's 169 for V 156 Against ...
