And, given his unfortunate injury history to date. In how many games has he been unable to play out the full game? And managed time on the comeback trail? So statistics, statistics and damn lies Further, his introduction to AFL football was as a defender - his transition to the midfield more recent ...

Thank you for your contribution, DB Cooper Barrie Robran, who is of the same vintage as me, was indeed a champion footballer for North Adelaide (the side Wilkie played for) And also a State cricketer where he and I played for the same side His knee injury was a tragedy And his 2 sons played for Norw...

Given Hawthorn beat WB, who thrashed us by controlling the ball (and have done it before against us), imagine the vitriolic response on this Forum if Hawthorn also beat us!!!!! No St Kilda player will be spared - all duds by varying descriptions of their missing attributes The internet, hey? And key...

Unfortunately, there are times when attending AFL matches you do not feel safe This is because of the reactions at what is transpiring on the field by certain in the audience (so the other side of the fence from the players and the umpires) Then you read what some contribute to these sites I would a...

Missed a couple with a knee complaint - and to me it appeared there is still restriction but not enough to keep him on the sidelines Players do post sore Hopefully what we will see from here is Hayes continuing to impact (and take advantage of King being present), taking focus off King who is our on...

Good news indeed - for both of them

Clark is class - and 2 sided

So given Henry is back this week, who from Sandringham yesterday demanded AFL selection? Noting Clark and Allison were injured during the course of the game What is the criteria for AFL selection (given you are not of established quality)? Webster came straight back in because we lack a lock down de...

Mind you, the real positive is that Wilson, Windhager and Wanganeen-Milera all featured in the votes

And the NM full back who was obviously given a specific job and performed - so 4 Votes from the NM Coach?

I always rated Acres and was disappointed he was Richardson’s fall guy then when he left As I have out on here before, I asked the question to be told there was no reason other than a view going home to WA would be of benefit to him And he was not looking to go back to WA, which his return to Carlto...

But I thought a contributor to this site said Jones’ papers had been marked by the Coach, who Jones had challenged? And Dow did not do sufficient to earn a recall - noting he was generally unable to command selection at Carlton Phillipou put himself in the right positions but the ball just did not f...

It should be a bit of fun watching Hill, Henry and Wilson in the same side Then Sinclair and Wanganeen-Milara chucked in as cream on the cake Mind you, having said that Hawthorn look like toppling WB, who gave us a touch up after media were reporting on WB as they were So who knows? What is pleasing...

Well, the Great Flog presenting that someone waa flogged says it all

And in weight its fellow flogs

Shows both poise and class And, looking to the future it is my opinion that we have no leg speed player to put on the elite small forwards across the competition so in a side I offered I parked him to cover that deficiency It was noted that today North Melbourne found plenty of space we could not cl...

So given the content on this site by certain, which players on St Kilda’s List are not duds?

Should be an interesting response!

Into Hamish Brayshaw’s open letter to the AFL, reported on the ABC Website today, insert the name Jack Higgins Simply, with the AFL it is a matter of which Club you play for, the “big” Clubs which provide the AFL’s revenue by attendances and television audience and those they rely on to present that...

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...

Extended for 2 years

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, ...
