Re: Jon Ralph is a tool.
From what I’ve seen of Jon Ralph, he is a pretty fair-minded guy. What has he said that can’t be backed up do you think? I guess it’s like, we’re allowed to criticise our own, but look out anyone else who does. These guys are paid to report news and to have opinions. They’ve got to find something to...

Form is temporary, but class lasts. I feel we are in for a tough one.

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
So in a side which struggles for potency up forward... Scollop would like us to take the forward who just kicked over a third of our score and move him to the midfield because he wins contested footy, which incidently is a stat we have won the last 3 weeks in a row. Owens over the past 3 weeks has ...

Re: Innovative or perish. Part 2
The worst thing St Kilda could do right now is go backwards. I don't want to see a midfield with Seb, Steele and Crouch. I think there is a growing chorus of Saints supporters crying out for Owens to be used as an inside mid. I don't want him to be the second ruck. It's like the Blake Acres debate ...

Re: RoMa in the ruck
Perhaps the fact our mids are struggling to win clearance and we played a very good midfield has something to do with this tactic. Without Crouch we lack clearance strength so to negate this perhaps this is the tactic which has been used.? I think it has everything to do with it and he is probably ...

Re: “Innovate or perish: Why the numbers just don't stack up for Ross Lyon“
As someone who witnesses training twice a week I can assure you it’s not the game plan. The training drills and ball movement are fast, in some cases kamikaze speed. It is basically all out attack. But obviously the defensive part of those drills are less than frantic as injuries would happen all t...

Re: Is it the midfield, or our forwards?
As far as I can tell our midfield is setup to try and negate rather than do anything constructive I get that our midfield is not flash but they need to play with some freedom and dare Coaches need to stepup and make proper use of what we have Crouch, Clark and Ross will make a difference and make u...

Re: Sack Lyon
Clearly playing the list to see what’s what. Collard over Membrey Patton over Ross Yeah of course he’s going full tilt Are you suggesting we're tanking? Certainly may as well now. Not saying he’s tanking I’m saying he’s developing the list. Yep, I think he has carte blanche from the president to de...

Re: Is it the midfield, or our forwards?
Last night there was hardly ever space for our forwards to lead into. Our indirect, sluggish and uncertain ball movement allowed the Dockers time to crowd our forward line. They then scored with ease on the rebound into a wide open forward line. Forwards need space in which to operate. Congestion is...

Re: Play the youth
Who should be playing that is match-fit and isn’t? Look I daresay Seb Ross would offer more than, say, Phillipou … but the sad reality is that we aren’t contenders this year. And won’t be until we unearth some players

I maybe and hope I am wrong But I am completely staggered that Collard gets a game His form in the VFL has been ordinary at best and I think it does nothing for selection integrity for him to now get a game Sir Doug Nichols round? That and also we desperately need a small forward. Maybe not deservi...

Re: Team vs Freo (Walyalup)
Don’t mind the changes. It seems an attempt to address our midfield (Dow and Jones) and forward (Caminiti, Sharman and Collard) shortcomings. And it’s not necessarily a reflection on the guys omitted and managed. Will it pay off on Saturday? Who knows, but at least Ross is trying things as he must. ...

Re: Changes for Freo
Owens attended only 3 ctr bounces for the entire match. That's crap! Just start him at ctr bounce and let him drift forward like Horne-Francis, like Prestia, like De Goey, and like Dusty I remember those three times well. We looked like we had ball-winning intent. I agree with your ideas of how Owe...
