I recon Jones might be a starter for this game, maybe Pou as sub. We need run in the midfield

This will be a good game for those who really want to step up- you won't get that many chances.

Re: Cold Hard Facts
As usual with St Kilda, there’s a truckload of overreaction when we have a poor game or two. And the reality is, that’s what it’s been. Two poor games. Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn. Throw in the first half vs Richmond and the second half vs Essendon and you could say three games in total. Two of t...

Re: David King and Whateley analysis of what's gone wrong this year
Ross needs to give the on field leaders license to make those calls in game. I think he's still a bit too much of a control freak, despite the outward demeanor. That’s just utter speculation and rot with respect Lyon is on record multiple times stating they do not sit the players down and say “play...

Re: Do you enjoy supporting the Saints?
Been supporting the Saints for decades- but haven't enjoyed it much as time goes on. I'm not really in the fan club of any coach, but I was very disappointed with the Lyon leaving, Watters changeover, very disappointed with the lack of support the management of the club, and a few sooky senior playe...

Re: Sandy at Wonthaggi
Clark definitely deserves a call up to the seniors, most likely for Hastie. I'm not sure about Dow. In both the games I've seen Dow play, he has struggled with the pace in the early stages and has only begun to deliver much after half time. At AFL level the players tend to be a little fitter, so th...

Re: Chasing Weitering
Not going to leave Carlton for us as long as his @rse points to the ground. Fine by me if we up his price and stretch Carlton’s salary cap. Tall defenders are not our pressing issue. Midfielders and more of them please. Like most others I wonder why Owens is not tried as a mid, there must be a reas...

Re: Byrnes for Zebs
Maybe just lost confidence- I did see him on the wing against a Hawk twice his size who was grabbing lots of marks and was wondering why they left him there (could just be that Batchelor is a sh*t coach). But in that game, all our mids/ on ballers were terrible and only put in a passable effort late...

Re: Philipou’s Manager
Might be a foolish thing to put on line as a manager, but probably factual. Owens and Pou are young players out of form, and clearly can't carry out what Lyon's game plan needs, and King is highly talented but doesn't work hard enough defensively.

Re: We are kidding ourselves.

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks
Let’s not let the truth get in the way of a good story Here’s some truth for you armchair I counted 8 clearances between Marshall and Steele from a stoppage where they turned and kicked the ball directly forward. The ball went low and somewhere between 15 - 30 metres in a straight line towards the ...

Re: Votes v Hawks
Got to base my votes on effective effort over four quarters, not just stats so..
5. Battle
4. Wilke
3. Bonner
2. Marshall ( though his opponent did well early)
1. Steele (another slow start to a game but I'll cut him slack for coming good later)

Re: RTB's Presser
I remember well the time around the club when Lyon left years back- it was common knowledge that he wasn't interested in rebuilding teams. The Lyon I used to notice at training back then looks and sounds a lot different than the one I've seen at training now. Back then he was clearly driven and whol...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks
Whether the game plan is right or wrong doesn’t explain dropped marks, fumbles, missed tackles, mis-kicks, poor accuracy. Too many players not up to it. That's the kind of thing you have a coach for- amongst other things, to work on deficiencies. I think Lyon is only interested in a game plan and s...

Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks
We need give Tim a rest and bring Coops back in- usually looks more like he is going to kick a goal and tries to take a few screamers. Very unimpressed with King and Hayes as well today- letting the Hawks dictate the play.

Paton is the sub Breust for Hawks Do’h I don’t get it. What could you hope to get from Paton late in the game other than for him to come on and possibly blanket a staring Hawk mid. I’d have had him top 22 or nothing Sub out Henry or Wood or Membrey or Ross, or Hayes and put Paton in the middle and ...

Re: Is it time to play Pou at HBF
Might just be a case of one of those highly fancied recruits who don't crack it at senior AFL level. I wish him well, but I'm not seeing much so far.
