Mitch Owens is a freak of nature. Need a ruckman - he will tap it better than a 5th year player. Need someone to park as an aerial threat down field kick - he will clunk the mark, body his opponent and even if he doesn’t will win the ball and RUNS. Need someone to kick a goal - he will kick it on t...

Windy and Owens in!! Hellejullah!!

Paton, Sharman Clark out.

We didn't deserve the win. Hawks were harder and spread more. Our midfield is C grade at best. The coaches need a rocket as much as the players, as they keep going with the same players and expecting a different outcome. Ross Steele and Crouch cannot play in the same team. Everyone can see it expect...

Yep looked like his old self last that last quarter.

He'll get his chance. I want to see him in the team as much as anyone else but maybe the coaches have said something along the lines of "Give a us a string of good games in the VFL. Force our hand here". He's had a couple of good ones in a row. He plays another blinder this week and he's d...

Someone had mentioned we'd had a pretty hectic training block leading up to last few games so combined with shorter breaks I'm not surprised we've been looking a bit flat after our fast start. I'm guessing they've tapered the training back a bit to freshen the boys up.

JWeb comes straight back in for Paton, who has been ok but not exactly setting the world on fire. Hammer is also back from suspension which begs the question does he come straight back in and for who? I think he should come back in. We need more marking options. Sharman seems the obvious swap but I ...

Honestly I'd rather see a forward line of

Billings King Sharman
Butler Callamitti Higgins
Ownes Gresh Poe rotating through.
This is the future.

We shouldn't underestimate anyone at any time. We should take them as seriously as if we were playing Melbourne or Collingwood. Complacency is dangerous. You only need to be off a 5% and anyone can beat you on the day. IF we do start beating them up, then great, but we need to keep our foot on the t...

Steele hasn't looked right since his return. Maybe the injury is hampering him either mentally or physically or even both. I think they've rushed him back too soon. Should have given him a run around in the 2s for a couple of games to get his confidence back and let Windy and Bytel get proper gameti...

Playing them here for the first time in forever, defintley helps our cause. Jonas is a big out for them. Farrell also gives them drive off HB so he'll be missed. Need to keep Allir honest. He likes to zone off for the intecept. Reckon we match up well aginst them around the ground. Hopefully Dixon d...

If been impressed with Howard so far this season. Playing to his strengths and haven noticed too many stuff ups. His field kicking has been excellent and he's kicking forward alot more although that's more the system than the player but he's doing it well.. Also we seem to be able to keep Wilkie fre...

Bing would give us real flexibility as he can go both ends of the ground. They would be poster boys for St Kilda for years. Marketing wet dream. It's the cost I'm worried about. We have to be careful to keep this young core together and I don't want Bing if it means loosing one or two of our young g...

Saad is an important out for the Blues Without Saad the Blues are now treacle slow. They were slow already. Im going to be very disappointed if we drop this game. Our outside run should have them well and truly covered. They'll come out breathing fire to answer for last week's debacle but they just...

Just said in another thread surely Highmore gets a gig next week for Paton. He's been our best in VFL every week. Paton doesn't look right at all. The leg break curse continues..

Surely Highmore gets a gig soon. Too good at VFL level. Replace Paton who has been average.

Agree. We weren't great tonight night but the system works so well we still nearly pinched it. Against one of the best teams in it. We start getting our good players back and we dont loose anymore and we're in it up to our eyeballs. We won't loose too many games this year if we keep playing the way ...

No - I just think he’s a a pretty ordinary player And hasn’t done anything to suggest otherwise We are quick to criticise when we are losing - but players can be poor in a winning team He is one of those I’ll guarantee when we start losing a few (inevitably) He’ll be the first criticised - by the v...

I'm confident so long as Sunday doesn't take too much out of us. Hopefully ground holds up under games/rain and we're not running on the spot. Carlton bottom 6 are very ordinary. How much would they love a Stocker right now? And their bomb it long game style has become so predictable. We know how th...

We keep with then till 3qrt time, our superior fitness should prevail. I've got no doubt we are the fittest team in it. We'll have ruck supremacy so we need to exploit that and rest Marshall forward when we can to stretch the Pies defence. We can't bomb it into the F50 as DM will kill us. Our defenc...

Back to his best last night. Got his swagger back.
Still forget how young he is. Could be one of our best small forwards to play in Saints colours.

Ok. So next week will be a real litmus test but seriously, where the hell has this come from? Ok so I understand we have better coaches, better system etc but half the team in looking AA ATM. Was the list just not as bad as we thought it was? Most folks had us bottom 6-4. We look Top 4 easy at this ...

Ball looks like it must be made of soap! Can't get a clean possession. Probably worst quarter of the year for us with skills. Can only get better. Need to settle.
