Doesn’t Richo have a media ban? Did he go rogue & agree to be interviewed on SEN? Shades of Scott Watters prior to his sacking. What an embarrassing interview. No doubt the media loved it & grabbed a couple of anti St Kilda headlines. Like taking candy from a baby!

Blake has had the misfortune of being in a program that has lacked the capacity to adequately develop & coach their players. Hopefully the club & by extension the players (including Blake) have turned the corner.

3.2 over 4 plus 800 over 1 if he plays a quota of games. I doubt he reaches that quota.

This quote from Richo suggests it may have finally clicked.

“There needs to be a real element of smarts to our play as opposed to just being about pressure which is probably where we’ve been.”

Alarm bells are ringing if our second highest ranked player averages 6 kicks per game - Daniel McKenzie… and if he is our second best player according to CD rankings, why didn't he get a game until round 10 last year? The main problem with that list of players is that only one is a genuine mid - St...

I think you are looking at it from the wrong side. The biggest potential rot stopper is not a player, it's Ratten or our next coach/es. Players progress based on coaching staff and they all have talent but we need to get the best out of them and then give them a game style to suit I’m not going to ...

Who will stop the rot? Maybe it’s not who we imagined. Taken from a recent fox sports article that I’ll link below includes our best performed players rated by champion data & another group that are rated above average. What stood out to me in this article was there was no mention of Carlisle. O...

Paddy is cooked that’s obvious to all the sundry. Just now a legal and liability issue re how it’s handled and when and by whom. Very messy and may take a while to sort out. I won’t be happy if he plays again due to the impact it may have on our club in the future. I wouldn’t be surprised to see hi...

Fantastic news, best of the pre season.

The fact that Billings agreed to part of the leadership group is a massive positive. It shows he wants to help the club go forward & improve. If he intended to leave it would be far easier for him to decline being in the leadership group.

At least in rugby league they know where the opposition is coming from so they can brace themselves. AFL is a 360 degree sport where they often get caught/hit unawares from any direction on the field. In addition AFL is a much faster paced game where collisions are often similar to a car crash. Lea...

I would’ve put Long into the leadership group to be honest.

Surprisingly, Gary Lyon who has very close family connections to Paddy stated that hopefully Paddy will be back playing in a couple of weeks. Both Brown and he also stated that there was a lot of misinformed hysteria over concussion in general and Paddy in particular Didn’t realise they both had me...

“Misinformed hysteria over concussions in general”

Wow. Please cease listening to Lyon & Brown & conduct your own research. That statement couldn’t be further from the truth.

I wonder if the diabetes had anything to do with the lead up to the latest knock Paddy suffered? Paddy appeared punch drunk prior to the incident. He totally misjudged a mark in the goal square. He fumbled two marks against Caleb Daniels where he was awarded a free kick each time. The act of going b...

I wouldn't have any former St.Kilda player, Lenny, Robert or anyone else as coach, they have never played in a premiership, would rather someone with Premiership experience, full stop!!!!! How many premierships did Clarko play in? Go through a thorough & well informed process & get the best...

I never said that the club insists he retires. I have said that if he decides to continue that they treat him like any injured player and not select him. The bit I was talking about was Paddy’s refusal to retire. And what might flow from that. The club will have to take a position of some kind. Eit...

Just to make it clear. Koby made his own decision to retire and the club supported that decision, as the club would have supported Koby's decision to continue playing. Based upon the several video interviews that Koby made at the time where Koby discussed they matter, including his symptoms, I do n...

I believe the player has received advice to retire. He has refused. Whilst I believe he cannot be cut from the list, I certainly hope the club does not select him to play at any level. Totally understandable. He is a young kid who is playing his boy hood dream & it has all been taken away from ...

I’ve never used the report function however I think there’s a place for it. But my gripe extends to ‘recidivist reporters’ that should be pulled up for making vexatious complaints & wasting the time of the moderator. Use the report button for serious abuse & online bullying but for commentin...

“Gubby Allen has a horrible name inside the industry for double dealing. Finnis is regarded inside the industry as a joke of a CEO.” Both of these statements breached the rule. How? He didn't say he thinks Allen is horrible, or that he thinks Finnis is a joke. He just said that it's an industry opi...

Stay away from the report button....slowly move away from the report button...
