Re: Extremely proud

Why was the coaching good. Don't understand this comment.Too many times we were kicking to a non existent forward line. Is this good coaching? To leave Stanley on 'Choke' for the whole game. Was this good coaching? To have Kosi is the side. Was this good coaching? Why wasn't Millera in the side? Was...

How good is the skipper?

Thought for a moment he was going to win the game off his own boot. Sometimes I don't think we appreciate how good Nick is. For me he is the best CHF I have seen. Hope he plays for many more years. We'll need him to.

Re: Outs from tonight

Saad is not the issue. Last quarter him was opposed to someone who was twice the size he was.Maybe we should be looking to those who deliver the ball to the forwards!!!!!!

Roo is amazing
Roberton will be great

What about Nathan Ablett ?
He nominated for the draft. So i guess he wants a chance.
Is he worth a go as a mature age rookie?
Any thoughts.

Everyone is saying it without really saying it.
The coach is the be all and end all. Time to look at the coach.
What the hell is going on. He must be held accountable.
In Ross we trust? I'm not sure any more.

There is always a bit of conjecture about the first coach to be given the flick during any given year.
Maybe Ross will be the first.
The start to 2011 is TOTALLY unacceptable.

Maybe we could have traded the captain to the Gold Coast for a couple of first round draft picks.

You are joking. Really . This is the same player who was meant to replace Ball and now the player meant to replace Hayes. Not even in the same league. If he was the best of the rest tonight then this only proves how badly we are traveling at the moment. Hope he improves over the next season or so, b...

Coming to grips that we are gone. I don't understand this. We come off two, repeat two grand finals and all of a sudden our two best players (IMO) think we are f***ed. Bull s***. We are gone simply because we haven't had any sort of second wave coming through the ranks. The coach has seen fit to foc...

Given the crap served up in the past 5 weeks, we probably don't have many that should be a long term option with the club. Gilbert hasn't been the worst IMO

No plan B - Go now.
The stuff being served up in 2011 is embarrassing. The coach takes the blame.
Life is so fickle. A couple of kicks to advantage and Lyon would be seen as a duel premiership coach. Instead we may well see him as a defensive obsessive. Such a shame.

Round 13 - After the 2 months of hell

On the pre game footy show on ONE HD last night, a question was directed to the velvet assassin about the possible ladder position of St Kilda following a very tough schedule leading up to Round 13. The idiot assessed us as capable of winning only one of these games, (against Melbourne)leaving the S...

Can't believe some are still trying to justify Kosi getting a game. His marking is inconsistent and has been for some time. By all means have him in the side to crash the packs and provide a target, but if that's all he is going to do then we are in trouble. He is far too easily pushed off the conte...

Who is the next A grader?

We constantly talk on this forum about the need to find a young player with the necessary grunt to make it to the big league. We confuse this with the need to get rid of players such as McQualter, Peake,Dempster, Clarke,Blake, Baker. But who is ready to make the next step. No one IMO has shown me en...

Good old has been Milney became the go to forward. Did a pretty good job of it as well.
Leave him alone. Been a damn good forward for this club for a long time.

Roo would be the ideal sub.
No need to worry about three to four players hanging off him for three quarters. Bring him on in the last and play him where the team needs the most impact. Got to be a winner.
