Interesting to see Butters let off for an identical incident to that of Windhager.

Just saying

Four disposals, 2 goals.

Butler had ONE disposal. One.

Two goals, or even two misses, would’ve been rather handy this afternoon.

Butler has to go. Been poor for two years.

Get Collard in. And leave him in.

I also think it’s fkn disgusting to debut players as Subs Probably the biggest moment in their lives, they get at best a quarter. I can tell you, your first senior game, the first half an hour is a blur, you legs go heavy and your out of breath the whole time - it’s pretty normal to take a quarter ...

He was very good in rounds 1 & 2. Less so in rounds 3 & 4, but still a critical part of our structure.

Good to see we learnt from last week's horrendous conversion of 9.13 by kicking 9.13 this week.

And don't forget the 9.14 kicked in Round 1.

Can't win Grand Finals kicking 9.14. Actually, what'd we kick in 2009? That's right, 9.14.

If Hastie had done enough to be selected, he needs to start. You can't pick a kid, give him 35 minutes of footy in two weeks and then drop him.

Butler, Caminiti out.

Collard, Windhager in.

Jones sub. Hastie starting 22.

Hill might be touch and go off a six day break and two flights.

Completely agree.

Dumb joggers. That’s all they are.

Honestly I don’t know what the plan is here by the brains trust. I’ve watched it a few times. Just don’t see how he gets off. Take the week and move on. Save the appeal for when we really need it eg. finals. This could be double edged in my mind We have nothing to lose, it's not going from 1 to 2 w...

Why do they even bother commenting on umpiring mistakes?

It's like the Reserve Bank commenting on inflation.

We lost a game of footy and some people think the finger needs to be pointed at Mattaes instead of the senior players I'd be starting threads on Crouch, Hill and Mason Wood before people criticise a 2nd year player. Spot on. Can you imagine the uproar from the same posters if our top ten draft pick...

The f…ing score 68.

It haunts us.

We should win.

Geelong will be bottom 6 this year.

Try this one then...

As much as I think what Webster did deserved a significant suspension, it is comical that a player walked free from a similar act just five games ago. There will be similar hits during the 2024 season, and you can be sure that they won't result in 7 week suspensions. Jimmy stupidly put himself in th...

2024 is only the 7th time St Kilda have had an undefeated preseason (since it began in 1979).

When going through the preseason undefeated, St Kilda have a 50% record of going on to win a final that year.

And a quirky omen for 2024, the winning margins of our two practice matches.... 19, 66.

Positives Ball use was very good in the first half, moved the ball through the corridor from congestion and it worked well. Controlled the air with good contested marking and solid contests. Wilson, Shoenmakers and Garcia have all got plenty to offer. Henry and Bonner are Round 1 locks - arguably ou...

There's some seriously harsh judges on here.

Excellent performance for his first AFL level hit out. Disposal was fantastic in the windy conditions, regularly looking to switch play or kick through the lines with purpose. Nothing like Dougal Howard in my opinion.

Port hadn’t even been inside 50 by the time of the ground invasion. The way things were going we could easily have been 6 goals up by quarter time, had Port not had that chance to regroup. The way we started that game was some of the most scintillating footy I’ve ever seen us play. I suppose the ot...

A team can only be predicted to fall out of the eight if they were in it.

It's a nice problem to have.

Typical saints. Bytel not good enough to get a game or a fair go with us but gets signed by the premiership team. I hope you star with them Jack and go on and have a good career which was denied to you at Moorabbin. How'd that work out for Luke Dunstan? If he's good enough, he'll make it. To this p...

Port Adelaide are by far our modern bogey team. We have won just 1 of our last 13 vs the Power. We won our first five matches against Port, but have won only 6 of 30 since. We have not beaten them in Melbourne since 2010. Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne currently hold the longest winning strea...

Caminiti above Membrey is amusing.

This screams of another one shown the door because he dared to disagree with Ross the boss. I know I am in the minority but I really don't like Ross Lyon and cannot understand why he is touted as some kind of supercoach. He has only had success, moderate success at that, when he has been handed A-g...

Anyone know when tickets go on sale for this one?
