Away wins are particularly satisfying for two reasons. First, it gives the Saints fans who live there something to experience and cheer about. Second, it provides the cheer squad, who made the long trek to fly the flag, with a memorable trip away in another city. I guess some of them went by bus, a ...

Jack Steele was on Reid in the first quarter and kept him quiet. Steele was released in the second quarter and Dow went to Reid. Worked alright most of the time until WC had a dominant period at the centre bounce and Reid, being untagged and alone on the defensive side of the ball up, capitalised. W...

The only way to out reach someone who is significantly taller is to out jump them or to push them with your body (not hands) away from the ball drop. Jason Blake was able to out ruck most of the best ruckman who were taller than him for short periods. Jumping takes energy. So, two or three against G...

Most of our players are about 85% of the skill level required in a top 8 team. Today, our few top players were dragged down to that level. Sometimes, game plan and effort can make up for that, to gain a win. We are 15 players away from a top team and there really isn't much we can do about it. One w...

I reckon we are bound to kick 10 by the end of the year.

It sounds like a wonderful idea. Certainly better than having a drink every time we score a goal, which could leave one feeling a little thirsty. Plenty of drinks in this patch: Round 8 2004 St Kilda 21 12 Collingwood 13 13 Round 9 2004 St Kilda 26 13 West Coast 9 14 Round 10 2004 St Kilda 31 10 Ca...

It's a game plan to enable a team of low skilled and slow players to stay with better teams in the hope they we might win on the back of their errors. It's worked pretty well. Just how we replace 15 players, in order to be a top four team and threat for the flag, will be a bit tricky.

An amazingly bad team performance from an amazingly bad team.

Looks like they left their dogs at home.

Yes, it was pretty silly kicking it straight down the throat of Paton who is one of the worst players ever.

Why have five handballs when you can have six.

Game over - players aren't good enough. Too many really slow players (like Pou) and too unskilled.

I'm sure this will send a very strong message to anyone thinking of importing or using drugs in the future. I expect all drug use to cease today. Five years' jail will cost taxpayers about $1 million.

Saints v Swans

Five minutes into the last quarter, the Swans were up by 8 goals.

St Kilda should now be targeting bottom 3 on the ladder. Then use the pick wisely No McCartin at picks No 1 No Billings at pick No 3 No King at pick No 4 No Phillipou at pick No 10 Yes, not picking the best midfielder on offer. Of the team that played yesterday, 15 of the 22 would not be part of mo...

"Clark is not built for crash-bash footy, King should be traded for a top 5 pick, Pou will never make it."
Fixed.

He's a champ, especially in our team.

Yes, but he can't, so he won't. We need to hope that he doesn't go too bad and trade him for high draft pick to get a midfielder who is 196 cm tall.

Perhaps he can reflect on life after football - which should be next week. Absolute dud. We must be recruiting talent scouts from the RVIB. Settle down. Moronic call. Alas no. Once I make the dud call, it's over for the player. I have never been wrong, although perhaps I was a little harsh on Steph...

Bit harsh on a 4 gamer don't you think ... Yes. A couple of things to note. He can kick either foot - I'm not even sure what his preferred is. He can take a mark. He fumbled a few times yesterday, once on the back line in the last quarter which could have been crucial. He was immediately surrounded...

We're tankin' !
