So in the same boat as the guy described by a Judge as going back into the Lion’s Den to recover his hat Simply, Howard draws the best key forward - and those key forwards can touch anyone up particularly given a midfield dominance Would you care to list the significant bags of goals these principal...

Can not go forward and can not go back because he can not mark the ball overhead So restricted to tagging roles in the midfield Hence the number of goals he has kicked over his career A GOP who has achieved above expectations to reach 200 games But the pressure will come on him with the players abou...

They probably trawl sites such as this for their negative material

Such reporting is symptomatic of media - and the reason they are becoming redundant

There was once a terminology “Whinging Poms”

Well, guess what?

So you get a game based on credits in the bank now Dating back how far? There is an old saying that you are only ever as good as your last performance Owens - and others - are the future of the Club Ross is in the twilight of his career - relying on credits including B&F’s in years where we were...

Just a few seasons back the demographics of the List saw the Club go to experienced players from the State Leagues to fill the hole between our older players and our youngsters. To add that mid range of mature bodies and minds - knowing what footy is all about. Hence Wilkie, Hind, Parker, Young et a...

I don't know where the idea comes from that Lyon is not showing his respect for his Assistant Coaches and their input because I am of the opposite opinion. The Sandringham side yesterday included Hayes, Collard, Jones, Allison, Shoenmakers, Campbell, Dow, Hastie, Keeler, McLennan, O'Connell and Pato...

So there you go

The simple fact is that St Kilda have no relevance to the AFL apart from making up the numbers for broadcast rights The AFL give favour to sides with influential financial backers and large supporter numbers Apart from that they give favour to Interstate sides to maintain an interest in the National...

Well, I happen to know for fact what Rattan’s marking of the List was, that it had improved and the strategy to further improve it But the marking was low The Board agreed including with the strategy - but replaced Brett regardless The strategy remains in place, focussed on youth and, if available, ...

The AFL are a (controlled, so no questions) publicity organisation Last night they “ingratiated” with ANZAC Day, demeaning a day of reflection and sadness IF Port Adelaide had have lost, for the post match carry on there would have been no one there The feral Port Adelaide supporters would have exit...

Will the AFL, for the second week running, actually fess up that they delivered the result in a game?

Correct Ace Then the reference to the draw and preparation The compromised and corrupt AFL, dictated to as it is and feeding the incompetent media as it does, dictates that no employee or any employee of a member Club will question it or its operatives including umpires, umpires who, as we saw last ...

The rubbish contributed to this site by the usual continues IF we want to discuss non contributors what about Sebby Ross With our other experienced mid struggling to impact what was Ross's contribution? There is commentary on our "weak" midfield and signalling out our kids But what about o...

Steele had 15 possessions With him down, what did Ross do? There were too many players who did not contribute putting the pressure on those who did contribute (and Marshall battling on) Hence cohesion was missing And it is not our kids who went missing The stats can often be misleading but tonight t...

Howard did NOT leave Alberton because he did not want to play as a forward He left for an entirely different reason and which was not an on field matter The Port Adelaide CEO alerted the St Kilda Recruiting Manager of the circumstances, circumstances which were unable to be resolved Port Adelaide di...

Come in DB Cooper, Loris and Willard Saint because you are all exactly who I am referring to And I back in the knowledge of the likes of Lyon, Enright, Harvey, Hayes and Goddard over the nonsense you all contribute here They have all at the very least actually played the game at the level The people...

To all the serial complainers, list the players available for selection and not in the side So where are the options Given that some who are reappearing need match conditioning to be fair to them and to the side Campbell is a journeyman on our List given injury to Marshall Hayes had a stellar career...

What I am attempting to call out is the nonsense some (continually) contribute to this site If you are of the opinion the Irish recruit is just having an end to end kick, otherwise in the bar and that the Collingwood Coach would be more benificial to his education, then go follow Collingwood or whoe...

There is a Club, now nearing a history of 150 years averaging a premiership every 5 years, which went from 1950 until 1975 between premierships They went down the recruiting from interstate “fix” which saw 2 Grand Final defeats in successive years making 5 Grand Final losses over those 25 years The ...

As I understand St Kilda had a period in time where they recruited significant talent from Interstate starting with Baldock from Tasmania (who also represented Tasmania at cricket making a 50 against the WI touring side of 60/61) Post that period in time the sides with significant backers which tran...

Can’t develop? Marshall, Wilkie, Sinclair all off the Rookie List Then the likes of Wood and Membrey and Steele and Higgins who all came to St Kilda seeking opportunity and who have performed to the level that they are automatic selections and perform to competition standards The likes of Coffield a...

And I repeat, the words of Lyon today are significant and they deliver confidence that the Club is on the correct trajectory in a competition which is fierce and which will become even more fierce post Tasmania Lyon is backing in the Club, from the President to the supporters And taking responsibili...

West Coast is a side which has been decimated by injuries - including that some senior players from their most recent premiership have now been forced to retirement But they still have the remnants of that premiership side including a couple of key defenders They are also the beneficiaries of the “g...

You play to your strengths So given the wailing re kicking to leading forwards, who are our “leading” forwards? Membrey? Caminiti? Higgins? Butler? Because these are our established forwards Noting King is our only established “tall forward”, Caminiti 196cm and played because he has height and in en...
