I don't understand why the AFL feels the need to come out and publicly clarify contentious calls. There will be mistakes. There will be games decided by free kicks. There are more close games these days. There are more rules and ever shifting interpretations. Live with the decision and move on. Club...

Imagine not being able to break into a side that has won 2 of their last 33 matches.

I'd be interested in the stat "hit outs to disadvantage " , because I reckon Roma would be right up the top of that list. Seems to have an unhappy knack of punching or kicking to the opposition out of the ruck. Yes, he makes up for it around the ground. Spot on. Marshall is extremely valu...

St Kilda are the only team to have not played at the same venue in consecutive matches this season.

We don't do so until Rounds 16-17. Then again Rounds 19-20-21-22-23-24.

Our fixture this season is simply bizarre.

Can someone please tell Rowan Marshall to stop grabbing it out of the ruck and hack kicking it?! Our opposition are set up for it, it never works.

It's worth remembering that this exact time 12 months ago, Carlton sat 15th, with just four wins. The media was ripping into them, fans were furious and Michael Voss was in deep trouble. Many overlooked their difficult draw and their soft run home. Sydney & GWS sat directly above them. Also suff...

Ross & Bonner out for Crouch & Schoenmakers.

Wouldn't mind Heath coming in if King isn't right. Marshall & Heath rotate forward.

Saturday further proved that the game plan and effort are not the issues.

Midfield ball use is.

Anything below 60% is poor at AFL level.

Efficiency
Ross - 33%
Steele - 47%
Windhager - 50%
Owens - 54%
Marshall - 55%
Wilson - 57%
Clark - 58%
Wood - 59%
Hill - 61%
Dow - 68%
Sinclair - 78%

35 tackles between Crouch, Pou & Garcia.

Things you like to see.

This team can’t carry Wood, Henry, Hill, Bonner, NWM, Higgins, Caminiti, Membrey, Owens & King and try to play defensively.

We have at least 10 ‘one contest’ players. If they don’t win the contest immediately, they’re out of it.

We'll win this weekend. We go well at Perth Stadium.

Why do people continue to post garbage from Cornes and other AFL media clowns on here? It's exactly what those tools want.

I avoid AFL media for exactly that reason, I'd rather not see it on here. It doesn't deserve the oxygen.

We've been void of AFL-standard leadership since Riewoldt retired.

Looks like Hayes, Garcia & Byrnes all not playing.

We know how this goes. Melbourne kick the first four goals. We chip away but still go into half time 20 points down. We win the third quarter, get close. Then fade away in the final term, losing 71 to 52. We surprisingly break even in the clearances but take just 6 marks inside 50. The headlines ign...

I'm always bemused by the way we take so long to bring the ball in from a kick out, often just to kick it 15m. Yet our opponents almost always bring it straight in, often with kicks of 30-50m.

In some very intelligent fixturing Sandringham play at the same time as St Kilda, so despite having next to no injuries, one or two of our emergencies won't play at all this weekend.

Pure deflection story from The Age. ... post a story that can try and capture and retain the interest of St Kilda supporters. Frankly Jake I don't care where they play or where we are based , just win ! So on this week's "Real Footy" podcast Matthew Stokes in place of Caro et al. St Kilda...

The last time St Kilda had consecutive losses where we scored 55 or less against sides sitting outside the finals positions was Rounds 5-6 in 1956!

I'd say he's building up to it. Doesn't look even 90% fit to me.

Neither does Mason Wood - who was seemingly avoiding contact for most of the match.

Have gone back and watched the replay… Kick really wasn’t that bad. Whilst I stand by my earlier post RE kick out pecking order… that one is entirely on Hill. Kick could have been better sure but it was very markable and wouldn’t constitute a Clanger. Unforced error by Hill and his opponent did get...

Suns are torching Cats. 52 point lead in the 3rd qtr. Happy for Long. Suns are playing fast, daring, exciting footy. Long must be loving it, being away from our disgrace of a 'club'. Inverted commas because it's not a club, more a disjointed rabble. Suns are gonna win a flag before we do Ben King l...

As usual with St Kilda, there’s a truckload of overreaction when we have a poor game or two. And the reality is, that’s what it’s been. Two poor games. Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn. Throw in the first half vs Richmond and the second half vs Essendon and you could say three games in total. Two of th...

When Goddard was telling our young players that they need a passport to get to Tasmania and Hugo said I'm not stupid and Goddard kept going on with his stupid joke that's when I realised there is a disconnect between player and coach...Goddard came across as a dick. So if our players think the coac...
