Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
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...

Re: For the "In Ross we Trust" brigade
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...

Re: Gold Coast, Ben Long
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...

Re: Team vs Freo (Walyalup)
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

Re: Cold Hard Facts
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 ...

Re: Cold Hard Facts
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...

Re: Cold Hard Facts

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

Re: Cold Hard Facts
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 -...

Re: Chasing Weitering
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

Re: Philipou’s Manager
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

Re: Philipou’s Manager
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

Re: Chasing Weitering

Re: Cold Hard Facts
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

Re: Cold Hard Facts
The old story was that winning a premiership meant you had to improve by at least 10% the next year including by personnel being recruited
And work on the basis every other side is going to improve by 20%
The fact is that you are always building

Re: Crab watch
At that time we had Clark and Coffield parked in our back 6 and both performing.
Hind played forward and played one decent game.
Hind was among those we bought in to give mid aged experience to a List which had gaping demographic holes.

Re: Philipou’s Manager
In regards Harvey, who is a St Kilda legend and a top bloke, the story I heard was that Hawthorn were preparing to cut him from their Coaching ranks when St Kilda came knocking
Hawthorn were surprised St Kilda offered yet another coaching gig at yet another Club
