Leave Stanley as a forward. Looks a lot more at home there.

Well that also makes the Hickey drafting a complete waste. Not saying Stanley playing forward is wrong but they cant play together as we have always known Ben cant play forward.

A valid point, but it also highlights we need a key back because Stanley is a better forward than back.

Didnt Geelong play 3 rucks last night?
Heck I dont care where anyone plays. We just need 22 good players.
Right now we have about 8.

I'd also play Dal Santo back pocket/flank for the duration of his time...

Could get a few years out of him still, uses and reads it very well...

Time to generate a new midfield with Steven and Armo to 1-2 guys, and keep Dal and Lenny in new supporting roles..

Exactly my sentiments on the game today. He is much more settled there.

Correct. But remove Hickey from the team. I'm not putting him down but that needs to be the way for balance. McEvoy rucks for 80% and Stanley for 20%.

But Hickey is a better ruckman

Hmmm

Did someone go against popular opinion with this, but was scoffed at as per usual, because Stanley was the next Fletcher?!

Did someone also argue about the poor trade with Hickey, as we used a FRP on a player who really is surplus unless we get rid of Ben?!

I think so...

But that's not saying much, Ben is horribly out of form, too much made of his loose in defence game v the Blues.

Hickey rucked early in the first. Do people watch the game. ben was better than Hickey but neither were good. I have a feeling that you are so much into geary being captain you are watching both through one eye. geary was killed todayas he has been lately.

I have a feeling you are full of shite - what issues are there at the club in your humble opinion - you have dodged the question all day

I'm not sure that SK is seeing through one eye so much as you defending Ben who's been poor for most of the year. Ben's strengths, in his around the ground marking, is diminishing quickly and he is fast becoming a liability. He is currently no better than Hickey and that is saying something. Should be dropped until he finds form.


I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.
