Re: Jordan Lewis about coaches

We don’t know and for a start, maybe Clarko may not even have gotten that team to finals, let alone GF. Some say we were already on a downer by the time RTB arrived. 2004 - Prelim Final 2005 - Prelim Final 2006- Elimination Final. Senior Leaders in Robert Harvey and Lenny Hayes and a wealth of tale...

Re: Jordan Lewis about coaches

So what was the big Collingwood turn around if not coaching and game plan? Not as simple as that They had drama in the board room and with the coach distracted from his duties in my opinion. There was some talk of Nathan Buckley retiring after 2020 and he wasn’t motivated to coach. Buckley split up...

Re: Changes this week

Rest any player with niggles or any tightness. I’d be inclined to manage Pou this week Mattaes will get plenty of opportunity to play in big games for his career. They have Ratugolea, De Koning, and Stewart. We need to isolate these guys. No long bombs!! I know it won’t happen, but I’d love to see K...

Re: SINCLAIRS NON FREE GOES VIRAL

We nearly buried Carlton. The St Kilda foot was lifted and about to be placed fair square onto their throat as we built a 3-4 goal lead late in the second quarter. We came out early in the third and after Max King’s second goal we retained a 22 point lead half way into the 3rd quarter. We were clean...

Re: Votes v Blues

For those of you who haven’t included Ross in your votes, go back and have a look at the replay and see how he wins his possessions. His contested work was easily best on our side of the ledger, and was my best player closely followed by Sinclair - and daylight to the rest. Hill best of the rest , ...

Re: Is Lyon mark 2 the right fit for the saints

Lyon has been there before. Therefore he’ll do it again. That’s the logic; right? Ratten had some success in finals AND with 2 different teams over his career so why couldn’t he do that again? Granted he didn’t go all the way, but he had success with THIS squad in recent times. Would have been a dif...

Re: Lyon and his vision of our 2023 game style.

I’m sure Lyon will be able to extract the very best out of our talented and skilful list I hope/expect him to extract the very best, but I'm sure he'll extract more than his predecessor. And his predecessor's predecessor. And the one before that too. And ideally even the one before that. Spot on Wh...

Re: Is Lyon mark 2 the right fit for the saints

Here’s my optimistic take Simon and Andrew want to turn St Kilda into a powerhouse Club. Some bloke said “Why not us” and they went with it! If they succeed in getting all the right structures in place for sustained success it will create a snowball effect that can help the club for many decades. He...

Curious to know JB, would you have kept Ratten? It worked for Geelong when they kept Mark Thompson. It worked for Richmond when they kept Hardwick It also worked for Geelong again in 2018 when they kept Chris Scott It’s not like Brett had a career coaching record of 33%.

Tim Membrey has been the Saints leading goal kicker in 2016, 2017 and 2019. He’s a role model when it comes to training He is a beast of an athlete.

I know that it’s super important for the players to unite and for the club to unite and move forward, but that doesn’t mean I have to be a sheep.
