I think Gallagher leaving was a big loss. Better than average strike rate for a list manager. Much prefer him to Silvagni.

Re: Steele Carrying Injured Knee
Makes sense why he hasn’t had prolific numbers. He’s been instrumental in some of our wins and played poorly (like many of his team mates) in some of our losses. People neglect the fact that he did an AC joint last year and fractured his clavicle this year as well as this current knee issue. I’m st...

Re: The non free to max
And for the record as it hasn't been highlighted elsewhere, Buddy's second goal wasn't a goal at all. He kicked the ball when both his foot and the ball were behind or over the goal line. The commentators were too busy wanking over Buddy to notice. Sick making really. I called that as it happened. ...

Re: JB’s future at Moorabbin
Hotton will only have to be a middle of the road midfielder, who turns up consistently to be a better player than Billings in my opinion. Billings is the classic historical St Kilda player who looks good in a bad side and supporters cling to him because they have nothing else to be positive about. ...

Re: Maybe we’re not attacking enough
Hard to attack if you haven’t got the ball. It all starts in the midfield. Which is why I suggested trying the likes of Sinclair in the midfield! Sinclair did play mainly in the midfield vs Hawks. All of the 2nd half anyway. Result - lowest possession tally by some margin for the season, and involv...

It's hypocrisy to say that Windy and Bytel need 'development' at VFL level but Mattaes gets to play 11 full games in a row. If you count the 2 practice games against Melbourne and Essendon that's 13 in a row!! I like Pou, but surely we can't be playing favourites if we want to be a successful AFL c...

Re: Where we are at
Forward line - Tick. Doesn't need Membrey in it. Backline - Tick. Wings - (NWM, Wood, Hill) - Tick Midfield - No good. Part of this is players like Higgins, Butler, Gresham, Paton, Byrnes, Stocker, Phillipou - not really mids and can't fit them all forward and back. Philippou and Stocker probably t...

Re: Predictions this Round
Crouch is certainly a ball magnet, but I don’t rate 30 or35 touches if it means you’re handing back the footy to your opponents a third of the time. Most pundits here (and also the Saints official media team) were claiming Crouch would get a podium finish in the Trevor Barker Medal in 2022. He ende...

Re: Side v Hawthorn
As scollop I think pointed out in another thread, Marshall also averages something like 5 clearances, himself, which I reckon trump hitouts to advantage - as there is only a chance with those ending up as clearances. I'd prefer hitouts to advantage, especially Ryder hitouts to advantage. Not really...

Re: Our midfield
We don't set up well and we often have three in-and-under players (Steele, Ross, Crouch) at the bounce, giving us no run and no spread.

I agree. Trouble with the Green(e)s. I thought Webster would go to Toby.
Battle not agile enough, and Wilkie on Greene wasting his intercepting ability.

Re: Our midfield
I don't know why posters want Sinclair shifted permanently to the midfield. He is very dangerous (AA) from half back, where he can use his superb ability to read the play and launch attacks, also intercept plenty of threatening moves forward by the opposition. That would be negated somewhat in the m...
