Dougal Howard is the full back you have when you don't have a full back.
But you have to play him because the team is better with him there than without him.

If Higgins does not get off the penalty should be down graded due to Alir's contributing negligence trying to kick the ball and then failing to make any effort to protect himself.

With our lack of list depth we above most other clubs cant afford the injuries we have been carrying, its basically killed our season. You realise that no club has adequate cover for 8 players being out. What the list of injuries does not show is that the average number of players unavailable has a...

Zak Jones still leads the stats. It was good to see St Kilda listed players leading stats and not the Sandy players. Indicates they are not all duds. https://www.afl.com.au/vfl/matches/6345#player-stats Campbell will come in to St Kilda who are likely to rest Marshall with his injury. Jack Hayes sho...

3 weeks for Higgins is an AFL effing sick joke, but who is really surprised Michael Christian seems to really enjoy plucking out BS reviews on St.Kilda players. Did Plugger belt him back in the day? Did Spud iron him out? Maybe Spud. But I thought he was a defender, which would have meant he was mo...

Hastie noted as injured on the AFL stats? He came on at three quarter time but his stats show 19% time on ground. That means he spend a quarter of the final term on the bench. As the sub he should have spent the whole quarter on the ground. Injury would account for the lost time. The only other pos...

Only if the media forces them to.

Certainly was bizzare. The Garcia comment was very strange. Had no idea who was 25 and who was 10 apparently in the free kick count..yeah right. Just my opinion and it stands out like a sore thumb of late but something just doesn't add up with him. The AFL forbids coaches commenting on the quality ...

But Lenny will never play again.
He got too old.

Pou pick 10 in 2022 draft. IMHO Wilson has gone way past Pou despite Wilson pick 18 in 2023 draft and a handful of games. Garcia pick 50 in 2023 and a couple of games is as valuable as Pou and has overtaken Hastie pick 33 in 2023. But Pou will should continue to get games until the teams injury list...

The umpires won by at least 10 points this evening.

Yes, normally he plays the entire 100%.

Hold the players that continually turn it over accountable.

Simple.

Ok

Crouch
Clarke
Dow
Wood
Webster
Paton
King
Howard

Who would you like to pick?

Howard instead of Cordy.
More height, more mobility..

Poor St Kilda team there tonight so far.

Sam Darcy 208cm, Rory Lobb 206cm, Aaron Naughton a tiny tot at 195cm.

Zaine Cordy 195 cm, Josh Battle 193cm, Callum Wilkie 191cm

Dougal Howard 199cm is an emergency.

I feel the need for someone to bring the ball to ground.

After moving Battle into the centre bounces to add some strength, there is a possibility that Schoenmaker could replace Battle in the back line.
But St Kilda needs talls capable of silencing Naughton and Ugly Hagan to beat the Dogs.
I am not convinced by Cordy.

That meeting was Cringe Elshaug convinced Richo that McCartin should be pick 1 Richo was challenging him on his diabetes and weight. Elshaug was hilarious stating the the diabetes was a positive thing because he had to manage it. AR stressed we had to get that pick right On Daniel - Richo questione...

The AFL is planning to change the father-son rule for the 2024 draft. It recognises that Geelong and Collingwood have been massive winners of father-son no matter what the rules. So they intend to change the rules so that all clubs can make early selections of any eligible father-son players as happ...

Separation One leads to the flank 50 on the side from where the ball is coming - he leads toward the ball Another leads straight down the ground toward 50 to receive a centring ball One stays home. The aim is to split up the defenders. So they can block our forwards If one defender sags off then pun...

Bolton 5 + 5
Steele 4 + 3
Wilkie 1 + 0
Taranto 0 + 1
Hill 2 + 0
Battle 0 + 2
Sinclair 3 + 0
Martin 0 + 4

Me too on Jones (Oh damn am I becoming Woke)

The stats show he only played for 52% of the game time but when he was on the ground he fought hard.

Luke Davies-Uniacke will turn 27 in 2026

Yep that was the game where Gary Ablett Snr proved himself to be pure filth. KOed Burke out of the game.
