All great points sRr. One worth dwelling on is: Can Shoenmaker become a genuine CHB and take the 2nd tall forward? I think not in his first 20-30 games at AFL level but that should be the goal. Height is overrated from key defenders. We trust Wilkie at 191cm to take on some pretty big forwards. It'...

It's actually quite difficult to find player heights these days,

We are in a stage of the season where we are seeing some magnets move around the board at a fast pace. I want to ask some questions of you all. Sharman - Having the least productive season of his career. What's his position? This year I don't thing he knows as the Coach is throwing him all over the...

Two second rounders are not going to land a Big Fish.

Arie doesn’t have the tank or speed for a wing. He’s playing good footy but plays the role of Battle or Wilkie, two of our better and more durable players. Unless he replaces Sharman, in that forward/ back hybrid (nothing) role I don’t see it. I would love to see him get a run and bang a couple of ...

As part of the Tribunal Ruling, Cameron deemed a Good Bloke and gets off as a result!!!!!!!!!!

AFL officially acknowledges that now that they make biased rulings based on their view of the player, and not just the action.

As I’ve said before, thank goodness fans don’t pick the side. Thursday’s game is close to being a must win for us and we have fans calling for the selection of unproven and (from what I’ve seen of them) unexciting first year players. Garcia looked like he might be something in the pre-season practi...

The rest of the forwards must understand that they are just as good as King and to present in their own way and not play second fiddle. I think it is more that the rest of the team need to learn to always look for the best option. When Sharman is allowed to play forward you will note that he leads ...

The Selection Surprise this week would be if Garcia does not come into the 22.

From inside sources - P hillipou has asked for more time in the midfield to learn the craft. Considerably hard position to learn. Which is probably why some of his games need to be at Sandy where he can play as a mid all game. He came to us a year early, so in some ways one should think of this as ...

Get Collard in. And leave him in.

Based on today's game as well as his form in other games this year it is Garcia who would come into the 22. He also laid 7 tackles. Only Saints to lay more was Ross with 7.

What's the statute of limitations these days? There isn’t one for sex offences Have to wonder about timing though, whatever the merits of the case. I am confused by your comment. Why would you wonder about the timing? 39 years have past. Tasol. And? Over the years I have heard, or read, the stories...

Hammer for Windy.

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster so far… 2/2 with a combined losing total of 13 points Injury ravaged list Some what erratic form With a little bit of luck, we could have been 4-0 . Certainly the Essendon game is one we lost rather than one that they won… and we’re pbly all feeling a bit relieve...

Dow and Henry were both meant improved our midfield this year. Henry showed he can. Dow is not yet in the team. Crouch was good for our midfield last year, but started this year proppy, then got worse. So our midfield is now worse that it was last year. Not better, though it may improve later in the...

That team tells us FA It’s a squad - there’s 26 named!!! Can’t see two ruckman being picked - which is good At AFL level Campbell is an average ruckman and worse forward He’s definitely break glass in emergency Yes, only one of Marshall or Campbell will play. Being interstate TC gets a trip just in...

A slender physique hasn't held Bobby Hill back. Collard looks the goods. Yes, he needs to become stronger to survive the physical rigors of the AFL, but retain his pace and maintain a "wirey" type of strength, for example like Tuck, Bartlett, Fletcher et al. from back in the day. Booby on...

Did any SA Based St Kilda Members miss out on getting a ticket?

My daughter cannot go now and so I have one adult and one concession ticket spare.

If you are a SA based St Kilda Member send me a PM. if you can 100% attend.

Poo is less than two weeks older that Arie. He is still very young at only 19 years, 3 months, and bodywise he has a long way to go. Most young players do not arrive as physical beasts like say Windy has. Bodywise he is still quite boyish. I would tend to believe that only from next season we will g...

Crouch, who has just entered the last season of a four-year deal worth $700,000 per season, triggered a fifth year of a contract when he played his first game in round two against Geelong. There you go That's why he put his hand up to play in round 1 Let's hope he can regain some of his best form f...

Me too.

The Candy Stripe was my original Avatar for many, many years, and so it has now returned back as my Avatar again!

We still have a fair side in so it’s a good indication that we do have depth due to the fact of the large amount of injuries we have Yes but we are barely covering all our needs now. Just as well Windy stepped up as a mid against the Pies, otherwise that "depth" would have be really teste...

Forgot Hill He is a first choice Winger Yes wing we have good options. Hill, Byrnes, Wilson and Jones. All have very good tanks, even Jones while not at the level of the first three is still a good runner. Sharman can also rotate through there. The coaches have been using Sharman both this season a...

I guess he’ll be Mason Wood’s temporary replacement. My guess is no. Does not yet have the tank, and to play wing these days you need a huge tank. If King gets suspended. Caminiti to come in. Wing will be Byrnes and or Jones. Jones was the sub and will come into the 22. Wilson to also rotate throug...
