Again exonerating players and lumping it all on coaches is just dumb We saw Melb get belted by 100 points today ….poorly coached ??? Their own players skill level was deplorable and they turned it over as nauseum …sound familiar???? Think you’re falling for the 2 card trick and letting perennial Sa...

In: Heath

Don't care what it takes or whose spot he needs to take. His game yesterday was about the best VFL performance i've seen from a player yet to debut.

Can't change a team that quickly. Lyon is a great match day coach, no doubt about that. We haven't seen games turn our way on a dime like we have in the last 2 years. He'd be even better if he had 100 runner messages a game. Unfortunately, he doesn't. So it's up to the players to execute on game day...

https://x.com/stkildafc/status/1797166063593140679 St Kilda FC @stkildafc Scans have confirmed Max King has avoided any significant structural or ligament damage to his knee, however will need to pass fitness tests this week to be eligible for selection. The 23-year-old was subbed out of yesterday’s...

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. King needs to play up the ground and stay out of F50 so both King and the team can find some form. Use his skills which is his running ability, aerial marking, and ability to follow it up at ground level. Playing up the ground will be like Jeremy Cameron and potentially take...

The midfield is the core.

Need 2 elite mids, and we currently have 0.

Thought the mood was back this week.

Last week was as bad as i'd seen it.

I'd love to know what their thoughts are on how the game turned after King went out of the game, clearly they will be undertaking some in depth review of that part of the game. I didn't think it was that much of a difference in real time watching the game, but the scoreboard suggests otherwise. Kin...

Hunter was great this week, especially off the given gametime and first game back from injury.

On Crouch, watching the Sandy game he still clearly not moving at 100%.

He is a plodder

Don't see him in our best 22

What does Bonner offer that Shoenmaker doesn’t?

Bonner is probably a bit better at ground level, also experience in a young side.

But on balance you'd take Shoenmaker right now.

Collard hopefully got a trip back to WA with the team and had a week with family and friends.

It looked like Garcia with a hamstring or leg complaint in the last 5 minutes. Nothing said about it though.

Max Heath tearing it up. Best game i've seen him play by far.

Just took a ball out of the ruck, ran and broke a tackle, kicked inside 50 for a goal.

3pts the diff in the final qtr for anyone interested in watching.

Dumb football in the first quarter. Just so so in the second, but I thought we looked like we had more cohesion in that second half. Dow and Clark were solid. Excellent job Windhager Overall, a small step in the right direction That sums it up. We weren't tuned into their red time change of pace, i...

Has there ever been a player more fragile than King.

Yes, but I dare not speak his name.

A much more upbeat press conference today.

The forwardline steps up when King is out.

It's the opposite of what you want from a good leader.

I don't know if that's something you can change in a player.

Hastie is a good long kick of the footy.

Great goal for Garcia.

Heath is in everything.

People need to realise that we were still putrid for a large part of the match. Barely got on top of a still rebuilding Eagles outfit who will finish bottom 3 or 4 and were missing their two most influential players. Reid should never have been given the license to get as much ball as he did in the...

Don't let him in the forward 50 unless the ball is already in there, and he will shine.

5 Wood (4 goals straight)
4 Wilkie (13 intercepts)
3 WIndhager (6 clearances, defensive role)
2 Steele (15 tackles)
0.5 Clark (12 tackles)
0.5 Henry (9 score involvements)

For a 14 point win against last years wooden spooners and one of three clubs below us on the ladder?

Some reasonable match day changes in the middle of the game but the games are won and lost with coaching well before the first bounce.

Hunter Clark has been very good for his first game back.

We are playing like we're tanking right now.
