I see RoMa had a ton of Supercoach points, grab, kick, turnover...Meek beat him in the ruck contest and gave their, equally average, midfield a better than 50% chance of a clearance. We need a genuine centre bounce ruck or else we will always be playing catch up from our D50. But, hey, RoMa got alo...

Mediocrity in engrained at the club

Ratts looked happy in the Hawks coaches box

Stodgy midfield. It's the same old story. The only player we can count on to win a clearance is Marshall. You see the way Newcombe attacks the clearances with speed, aggression and energy. Our guys are tentative and flat footed. I've said it many times and I'll say it again. We will NEVER be a top ...

We are no good, plain and simple.

Low standards, mediocrity accepted week after week, poor skills, poor coaching.

12 of 52 inside 50s were to our advantage.

Pathetic.

How easy it looks when you kick it to a forwards advantage…

Lol

Win or lose, the damage is done. 2024 is us fighting to not finish bottom 4.

42 inside 50s and only 8 have been to our advantage…

A big issue is there are a bunch of stars at our club who are put on pedestals BUT have huge deficiencies that cost us.

Anyone who plays in the St Kilda forward line would be.

Look at the skill in that ball movement by Hawthorn.

We could only dream of that.

Maybe he could actually present as a key forward Instead of lurking around behind his opponent Trying to play Jack in the pack He is one of the lowest ranked players on the ground- again He is presenting, and they’re kicking over his head, or 10m in front of him, or to the Hawks bloke zoning off.

Well the Hayes fairytale didn’t last long!

King needs to fkn get in front of his opponent instead of looking for cheapies out the back Midfield is a horror show It is obvious their game plan is about small forwards He is in front of his direct opponent, they’re just getting a player to drift in front and cut off the inevitable poor kick.

King isn’t to blame, is working hard but getting nothing from our mids. They’ve hit up the bloke standing in front of him plenty of times!

One inside 50 to our advantage that quarter. One. That’s 4 out of 24 for the game. Pathetic. 2 instances stood out, Sinclair on a centre break running forward just bombed it on top of Membrey’s head. Wilson running forward under no pressure with plenty of space and targets forward kicks it straight ...

King will want to be careful or he’ll get rubbed out again…

Wilson running forward with no pressure and butchers the inside 50

I’ve been focusing on our inside 50s and King, and of our 11 entries only 3 were decent, which is an ongoing issue for us. Compare to Hawthorn who have had less entries but more quality, hitting up multiple leads and free players. King has been working hard but literally only had one half decent cha...

We’re just not that good.

Would love all the stats obsessed to mention what percentage of homicides are committed by men and what percentage by women. That would be a hard one to twist… It's over 90% men. How is that relevant to the point of Dis-believer's post? So saying “men need to do better” is probably spot on.

lol, some only know how to play the victim.

Melbourne bloke is lucky he didn’t get a fine for staging.

I think he’ll be a gun, by that doesn’t mean a run in the 2s is a bad thing, probably should have had one last year too.

Still a few locked-in fragile colonials around I see The efforts to show respect and to recognise & acknowledge Indigenous people and the terrible effects of colonialism, dispossession and accompanying racism are good things. However When was St Kilda FC ever an Indigenous institution, when was...

I was very critical of him initially (we still paid too much) but his years under Ross have been great, comfortably in the top couple of players
