Re: Mattaes Phillipou
Jack Sinclair was no good in his first few years. You're right... I've done a comparison of Sinclair in 2016 with Pou for this year. He was very skinny and lacked strength in his first 2 years, but he attacked every contest. I think he suffered severe concussion and it set him back for a short peri...

Re: win banked and move on
We also need to be seen as an attractive option for free agents on the move. Draft picks are not the only option. Are we aiming for top 4 in 2025? Are we flag contenders in 2026? I don't think we're either...so let the development occur organically with a core group of youth aided by the experience...

Re: win banked and move on
I'm not suggesting the club and coaches deliberately tank. I just think the long term is more important than banking wins in the short term
Get as many games as possible into our youth and continue to provide decent opportunities to them.

Re: win banked and move on
Nice cliche heading. Congratulations I know it helps our sanity having more wins and it makes for happier fans in the short term...but I'd rather we bank a pick 5 in the National Draft rather than a pick 8 or 9 or 10. Here's some of the quality that has gone at pick 5 in the last 20 years. Connor Ro...

Re: No Pressure
All our tackles are too weak. 95% of the time the player just gets hands away, or breaks the tackle. Would be nice if our players pinned an arm and dragged a player to the ground wouldn't it...oh wait 🤔 The umpires let the opposition do pirouettes and then it's play on 2 seconds into a tackle. It's...

Re: Mattaes Phillipou
Yeah nah...
Whatever you do, please don't tell us he's a ripper
I like Pou. I think he's got the talent and the right attitude to make it as an AFL player, but I'm nervous about the way St Kilda develop some of our so called 'star' young players.

Re: Mattaes Phillipou
I’m not convinced he would even get more than 20 possessions in the VFL, but I don’t reckon we’ll ever find out Bet you he gets a spell soon. As soon as Dow and Clark are available. He's no where near being a first choice midfielder. Struggling as a forward as well, but I'm not sure if that's the r...

Re: King ...out of form or
Whatever it is, he's a liability to team if he doesn't sort it out. 1 soft goal from dead in front from a free kick early in the game and then nothing Caminiti kicked a goal last week. Match committee dropped him. He actually took 2 contested marks inside 50 last week as well. King didn't take any c...

5 Sincs
4 Wilson
3 Hill
2 NWM
1 Hayes
Wood was great considering it was his first game back. Dougal was very good in his second game back. 13 marks 7 intercept possessions.
Marshall was important as was the captain Jack Steele

Re: King ...out of form or
I wonder if he's got the balance right outside footy and whether his attitude and energy reflect his personality. What does the guy do in his private life? Is he studying? Does he have a girlfriend? I don't want to know personal details. I'm not interested in gossip, but it's crucial that our develo...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Roos
So King gets to play as the number 1 forward and what does he deliver? I reckon we'd be better off with Caminiti. Trade Max at the end of this year. Get set for a few frustrating games where the coaches instructions are to look for Max at every opportunity. Don't worry... it's just a short term ploy...
