It's the inability of players forward of the ball to work into space quickly. There have been very few clean possessions, as well. Our mids have been non existent. I'm not concerned about the scoreboard. I'm concerned about the apparent lack of understanding between the players. It's like a washing...

I won’t sugar coat this…we’ve got massive issues…we were completely thrashed and Melbourne barely got out of 3rd gear! Our footskills are below AFL standard, broken tackles, an inability to get the ball out of our defensive 50 with purpose, pedestrian midfield, Oliver and Petracca did what they ple...

We don't need to win a lot more games to improve. We just need to bridge the gap between our good wins and our bad losses. To do that, you need a system and 35 players committed to the process. Thats what we need to achieve this year. Doesn't mean you will win, but it means you will need to be beat...

Look don’t want to sound negative but unfortunately my eyes are telling me tough ,really tough year ahead. No need to be pessimistic, it's a bit hard to say that without following all the other teams preseasons too. It's easy to buy into pre-season hype, but also easy to write a team off early. I d...

o Looking forward to seeing some footy again, but the real test of our new systems and list will be against Melbourne the week after. Look don’t want to sound negative but unfortunately my eyes are telling me tough ,really tough year ahead. No other way to sugarcoat it, but Owens , Windhager , NWM ...

This is why a stand alone reserves team wouldn’t work On any given week we have up to a dozen unavailabilities 23 senior players 3 emergencies 8-12 unavailable through injury Would leave between 8-12 reserves players Requiring 10-14 top up players weekly As opposed to 14 sandringham players? Bug be...

Highmore, Cordy, Battle, Howard Have trained almost entirely as defenders in match sim Which is a fair indication of where they will play. Sharman mostly forward with Membrey and Owens Owens I don’t agree with - he’s a mid not a key forward Not really a ruckman either ,but can pinch hit very well a...

.. .. .. ..We are training the Richmond / Collingwood style... ...speed and chaos forward of centre …forward of centre .not many players. I dread to think, but it might work for a few quarters. But we will need a plan B. Last time we played Freo. frantic speed. Ahead at half-time. Some unlucky umpi...

Stocker is not getting a game ahead of Webster & McKenzie. Actually from my observations ..Stocker well in front of Webster for number of reasons younger , better kick , as has been mentioned countless times , Stkilda will only improve by playing youth …but personally think Stocker would be a g...

Looks like a bottom 6 side TBH. Maybe Sharman is at centre-half back if it's true he has bulked up. Rotate Battle, Sharman and Highmore as potential forwards depending on match-ups and game situation. What about it ladies and gents? Paton vs Web? General Paton was ahead of Webster until he was run ...

Needed to fix up dress code at training .

Should always have been a focus From 1965 onwards The more Sandy Dragons players and Dandy players from the peninsula - the better - provided they can play Sinn Callaghan High on the agenda And obviously Ben King Our next premiership involves Ben King And that will be our point of difference- 2 x t...

It's certainly good to see that St Kilda are going to put some effort into "farming" the bayside corridor to the Mornington Peninsula in order to foster young talent. But we shouldn't get too excited about this because that won't necessarily result in St Kilda being able to draft every yo...

Hi everyone, Hope you're all doing well. Thanks for these updates. Bloody great stuff. Has anyone seen much of Van Es yet? Keen to hear how he's progressing, given our neverending need for another key back. Happy new year to you all Van Es interesting one been watching a bit at training , going to ...

Watching training think myself, prefer we break the shackles …from round one . Paton, Howard, Wilkie Coffield, Battle, NWM Hill Bytel Jones Higgins, Owens Steele Gresh, Membrey, Coops Marshall Windhager Sinclair Int: Ross, Clark, Butler ,Crouch , Stocker Emg McKenzie or Phillipou . Observations this...

Obviously we know some injuries and there will be more but what does round 1 look like then? Obviously the unseen players are a huge question mark so they are obviously a guess, probably as is the rest if truth be told. Here is my guess, what do others look like? B: Paton, Howard, Wilkie HB: Coffie...

I don't see why people think Sharman is way of the pace. The only times he has been tried forward, he has been a success. He's now fitter than ever, a smart player, a beautiful kick, a good mark....what's not to appreciate? When it mattered he was way off the pace up forward in the games he played ...

And I would not be ruling out the likes of Byrne (two sided and with ability) and Byrnes (where injury restricted him after he was preferred over Dunstan) Allison and Connolly are at the stage where we look for them to be pressuring for League spots, the reports on Allison so far positive The other...

Thank you.

Appears I have been misquoted our President advised several of us that list manager will be announced in two weeks.

NWM info didn’t have a timeline..from another person inside the club.

That's a juicy snippet. Where'd you hear that Lloyd?

Ask Mike ….he knows who..

Something not mentioned the “ President “ was in attendance and talking to training regulars ..great to see.
