Read the contribution of Tony74 And a question Given our prior Coach ranked our List at 14 (and improving), an analysis the Board concurred with why would it be that we are now in the top 8 (noting the injuries and suspensions)? The List continues to improve basically due to the development of our y...

Go look at the final v GWS

Cordy was a weak link in defence - absent Howard who was underdone in his recovery from injury

A back up player in case of injury to Howard or Wilkie and pending the development of our younger potential key defenders - and how smooth is Keeler?

I am of the view that Owens should be allowed to develop as he is being developed The reason? As is mentioned, he excels in the contest Where we have Steele and Ross who have been selected - so experience I do not currently have a read on Owens leg speed so the ability to not only contest but initia...

Whilst people are surprised at West Coast, what has decimated them over recent seasons has been injury to their experienced, class performers who remain from their most recent premiership To those resources you add Kelly, recruited from Geelong at cost They are getting their A Grade side on the park...

Clark played at Sandringham for 3 weeks because in his first game he injured a knee hence did not complete the game Scans cleared him of any serious damage And he played the next week, at Sandringham on managed time This week he appeared to contribute across the full game - and no doubt his performa...

Apart from Sydney (so far) Richmond and North Melbourne all sides are up and down for a raft of reasons but principally that the competition is such that results must be earned And the sides sitting in the 8 have all had very narrow wins The sides sitting outside the 8 have all had narrow losses Som...

So it is now revealed that Wellard Saint is a Gold Coast supporter, on this site to disrupt (along with others) Long played a few good games for St Kilda (including Brownlow votes when we beat Richmond a couple of years ago when Carlisle got the 3 votes) but lacked consistency He was embraced within...

And Jones among the included players

Well, well

I thought his papers were marked by the Coach (no less)

On such Forums as this everyone has an opinion - but I would suggest that that is precisely what it is - a personal opinion

Not the position of the Club

Darren Jarman The criteria is that they can win games for you including because they can be deployed Simply, our mids do not hit the scoreboard anywhere near enough Why is this? My opinion anyway Then on the one hand we are critical of our midfield but on the other hand defend players who have been ...

The system is designed to rehabilitate Such that upon release these people can successfully re enter society and contribute The first invitation is good behaviour As an example is Terry Jenner who continued to break the law including in the employ of the Godfather to his daughter where that offer of...

Petracca gets forward and kicks goals Steele? Don’t get me wrong, Steele is a very valuable footballer at St Kilda but given the position he plays he is compared to (list the elite mids) 2021 was 2021 but it is now 2024 I just do not rank Steele as competition leading - unlike Marshall, Sinclair, Hi...

But, Jones has played at AFL level AFTER you offered what you offered

So your compliment is returned - and upped

The cold hard facts are that we have a core of players at the level So Marshall, Wilkie, Sinclair and Hill We have a bunch of kids we have hopes for, starting with King, Wanganeen-Milera, Windhager, Owens, Phillipou and now Wilson So that is 10 players we hope will influence the results of games wit...

From the same sauce which informed that Jones would never play again after arguing with Lyon and that Crouch will never play again because of a knee concern Says it all And the same sauce which is on here 24/7 promoting its credentials Mind you, I am contributing as evidenced recently but my activit...

Scallop With their injury list, who constituted the Hawthorn attack? Noting Hawthorn won the game by only 5 points So that is one game against a lower ranking Club And what happened when we played the Western Bulldogs, a team with variable form The challenging sides do not rely on one KPP sized play...

Well there is a State game between the SANFL and the WAFL this weekend But I do not suspect there is a Judd running around in either of those sides And how many named in those sides have already been on AFL Lists and delisted? Needle in a haystack stuff thinking there is a gem out there And given th...

And if he had kicked a far, far easier one on three quarter time?

Ifs, hey?

If we had of recruited x instead of y

Mere speculation

No side plays perfect football The metric is making less unforced errors than your opposition Look at the Adelaide player, probably one of the best kicks for goal across the competition On the three quarter time siren he sprayed a set shot, virtually straight out from goal and just managed a point -...

And how much better would our defence be with a class KPP sized defender leading our outer defence?

Releasing the under sized Wilkie and Battle to more appropriate match ups

Remember also that Silvagni is on our payroll - and his son is on Carlton’s List

And just to add, I would not expect any comment from the Club or any employee of the Club (which includes Phillipou)

In fact, if I was in a responsible position at the Club, that would be my ultimatum

Read the Coach opinions on his game for Sandringham? The season before last Phillipou was playing Under 18’s for Woodville West Torrens in the SANFL He did not represent WWT at League level nor Seconds level - so never against players over 18 years of age Then straight into the AFL So there you go

We have never replaced Carlisle - and that has been to our detriment My view is that you build sides from defence So there is your answer from me Yes, we also need support for Marshall and for King but the question is where are the options across the competition And mids - well, we have started with...

How many DAYS is it since Phillipou extended his Contract by 2 years? And, no doubt, both Adelaide Clubs were in contact with his Agent Or his Agent in contact with the Adelaide Clubs saying he is gettable These are the facts The Manager is attempting to get the most favourable terms and conditions ...

Or have the opposition improved?

There is an opposition you know, don’t you?

I think the addition of Wilson and Henry has improved us from last season, both adding skills and pace

Before you get to any incremental improvement across the List
