My fixture says it's on Channel 10

"tackling someone after they manage to pass the ball to a team mate "

Pretty sure that wouldn't be counted as a tackle, more likely a free kick.[/quote]

No forward pressure? Koschitzke ranks 5th in tackles for the club. Milne 6th. While 3 of our top 4 tacklers often rest up forward. We've had more scoring shots than our opposition. We've scored more in the first 11 rounds than what we did in 2005, 2006 & 2007. Forward line pressure isn't St.Kild...

Milne is currently ranked 6th at the club for tackles.

Only behind Hayes, Ball, Montagna, Dal Santo & Koschitzke.

McEvoy must get a game this week or at least be an emergency. We were badly exposed last week having no talls in the emergencies. We must play a tall that is near 100% fit, King and Koschitzke are battling injury, Riewoldt is still not at peak fitness and M.Gardiner is playing the best he has for us...

i'd like to know their accuracy rate per SHOT rather than per scoring shot. I'd be confident in saying that Riewoldt and Koschitzke have had several shots that have not scored this year.

in - armitage, gwilt, mcqualter, ferguson, mcevoy

out - l.fisher, fiora

Having a look over our stats for 2008 a couple of things stand out. Tackling & 2nd Quarters. I'd obverserved over the past few games our poor tackling technique, players tackle the hips but fail to pin the arms, it seems as though the tackler is only focussed on grabbing the player rather than d...

1997 prelim vs north is my best.

and being at vic park in 93 to see us beat the pies there was fantastic too.

1995 round 6, lost to fitzroy at waverley, it was confirmed that all the promise of the early 90's had come to nothing.

2002 round 4, drove all the way down to geelong to see us smashed by 122 points.

and of course 97.

I tend to agree that Jason Blake has a massive heart, and his endevour can't be questioned. His skills and decision making need to be developed further for him to become a consistantly effective footballer, but he isn't far away. Having said that, I think his inclusion in the side often comes down b...

Since our amazing start to the 2004 season, our first halves of the season have been pretty ordinary compared to the second half. Rounds 1-11 2005 : 5 wins, 6 losses, 104.4% 2006 : 6 wins, 5 losses, 113.7% 2007 : 4 wins, 7 losses, 85.15% Rounds 12-22 2005 : 9 wins, 2 losses, 168.9% 2006 : 8 wins, 3 ...

A very reliable source has informed me that Fraser Gehrig and Aaron Fiora have both been omitted from the side for the Essendon game. And Luke Ball will play forward. Not sure who the ins are or if there's any other outs. I guess we'll have to wait til 5.30 to see if that's correct but as I said, th...

HARVEY (ST K) Thigh. Copped a heavy knock early in the game from teammate Justin Koschitzke. Reports suggest he’ll miss this week’s game against the Bombers.

Despite the fact everybody seems to be declaring season 2008 over already, I don't see it to be all doom and gloom. Far from it actually. Ok, we've lost the last two games by an average of 40 points, one of which we were never expected to win, both against sides that not only remain undefeated, but ...

Fiora has to go. Last year, we had no depth (due to injuries) and he played. Now we have depth and good kids. He is not in our best 30, let alone 22. I cannot understand how he continues to get a game.

Saturday Night, 24th May 2003 Collingwood 8.4 10.8 15.12 22.17 (149) St Kilda 0.6 7.7 10.8 12.12 (84) GOALS: Collingwood: C.Tarrant 6, P.Licuria 3, L.Davis 3, N.Buckley 3, A.Williams 2, M.Lokan 2, R.Shaw, J.Molloy, S.Burns St Kilda: F.Gehrig 5, N.Riewoldt 3, J.Peckett, S.Milne, M.Maguire, S.Lawrence...

He's named on the half back flank for Casey this week.....

What message does it send when somebody as couragous as Jones is dropped and somebody as soft as Fiora stays in?

Very poor selection decision.

Even Charlie deserves a game ahead of Fiora based on recent form.

It's great that we had so many great leaders to pick from, unlike Collingwood who were considering the likes of Fraser and Maxwell, and Carlton who have a skipper who's never played a premiership match for them!

Even if it's not announced this week, it's probably fair to say whoever is captain on Saturday night is likely to be skipper for the season. I can't see us having a temporary captain possibly holding up some silverware. That's providing both Riewoldt and Hayes play on Saturday night. Mind you, havin...

It was right infront of me. Looked like he got him in the upper chest and throat, but could have slipped up to the chin.

The Essendon player seemed to get straight up though.

Wizard Cup Semi-final Results St Kilda: 1.4.5, 1.8.7, 1.13.10, 2.16.12 (126). Essendon: 0.1.1, 1.5.3, 1.9.4, 1.11.9 (84). Nine Point Goals: St Kilda: Goddard, Thompson. Essendon: J Johnson. SIX POINT GOALS: St Kilda: Gehrig 5, Riewoldt 4, Milne 3, Hamill 2, Blake, Ball. Essendon: Watson 2, J Johnson...

Hawthorn supporters comparing Franklin to Riewoldt is one that makes me laugh.

Interesting to note also that three players who's positions in the best 22 are threatened, Blake, Milne & Fiora, have played every game since Ross Lyon has been at St.Kilda, including all pre-season games. The only other player to have done that is Nick Dal Santo.
