Re: Team Saints V Melbourne
The other observation is that Richmond are in the same position we have been at this season and leading into last week - so a very weak VFL side with only a handful of AFL Listed players Performance may have been considered on that basis - so knock the door down by performing consistently Jack Byte...

Re: Jon Ralph is a tool.
I think we were in advanced talks with Tom De Koning weren't we? Easy decision for him in the end. Why would you leave a club on the rise and go to a club in rebuild? It's going to take a lot of convincing...or a truck load of money (Weitering offer) to get a young star to come to us. I'm sure plent...

Re: RoMa in the ruck
Team vs Individual It permeates throughout the team if ALL players are sharing the footy. It’s a mindset. He’s able to pick an opportunity to grab the footy out of the ruck. It’s a really good talent that Roma has. Cotchin and Selwood also mentioned Max Gawn. They said Max could probably do the same...

Selwood was asked a direct question after they showed vision of Marshall’s clearances and he said something lik...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
Owens over the past 3 weeks has attended 8 center bounces for 1 center clearance It sounds like you are arguing the point well that Owens hasn’t succeeded as a mid. The only problem with your stats are that he wasn't actually in the centre as a mid. He was the ruckman Easy to misrepresent isn’t it?

I think Melbourne are a shambles I realise we are longshots but I feel we can win this, especially with May out of form and Lever missing Are the media going to focus on Melbourne and how the wheels have fallen off, or will they say the Saints aren't as bad as everyone was making them out to be?

Re: Play the kids etc.
Nice stat for those who think we haven't been doing enough to develop our draftees. The most matches played from draftees in the past three years has West Coast on top with 199 games, from St Kilda (186), Hawthorn (177), North Melbourne (168) and Adelaide (122). Where are you getting these figures ...

Re: Innovative or perish. Part 2
takeaway, Staying conservative in your thinking is not the answer to St Kilda improving. Considering Brad Crouch as our 'best inside mid' is flawed. Windy was only in his second year, Sincs was only starting to be used in the middle and Steele was injured. Crouch is fading just as Seb Ross is. He a...

Re: Innovate or perish. Part 2
takeaway, It's relevant because tony74 reckons Mich has poor disposal. The data points to Mich having higher contested possession percentages and STILL having higher disposal efficiency. You can be as dismissive and condescending as you like, it doesn't alter the stats Staying conservative in your t...

Re: Innovative or perish. Part 2
This is very interesting data Scollop, thanks for gathering the data. I had also thought that Owens was blazing away a bit last year, so good to know it wasn't really any worse than other players. I agree, we should be giving time in the middle to our young players to develop them, especially while...

Re: Innovative or perish. Part 2
Nice analysis. Cheers mate It doesn't make sense to say you can't use Owens because of his poor disposal, when you are currently using Crouch who has equally poor disposal We know Owens is still very raw. He has only played 40 games. He has upside. We have time on our hands to allow him to grow int...

Innovate or perish. Part 2
The worst thing St Kilda could do right now is go backwards. I don't want to see a midfield with Seb, Steele and Crouch. I think there is a growing chorus of Saints supporters crying out for Owens to be used as an inside mid. I don't want him to be the second ruck. It's like the Blake Acres debate a...
