Kosi has changed his body shape and size, and also injuries mean he is now TOO slow to play CHB. Melb do not have power forwards - Holland , Miller - not Brown or Bradshaw, so no need for Kosi CHB anyway FF is the spot with him with a pinch in the ruck. Problem is too many players either have poor s...

After watching todays game StKilda will be no more than a middle of the raod team as they have too many players who are down hill skiers and not mentally able to work hard when things are against them. The problem too is that many of these players are the middle rung which any side requires to stand...

Interesting to read the panic that has hit the pages here after 2 losses . Chnages yes but keep it in perspective 3 bad quarters against the dogs , who are 4-0 and a respectable loss to Geelong 4-0 and reigning premiers. Usual suspects -Fiora- was pretty good against Dogs and at least gives us run B...

Real test for Riewoldt. Hayes would have been my choice. To me he compares to Harley, very good but not the best player but real leadership. Test for Riewoldt now could be the thing which takes him to the next level as a footballer. The decicion makers are closer to the place than any of us so we mu...

While I have liked what I have seen with Geary in the NAB Practise games lets not get too carried away. Yes he make it and become a handy contributor or he could be the next jason Trianidis ( very good pre season player) L Fisher has proved he can play at this level and I thought did ok last night. ...

In bold are the players we were missing today. Have included Gehrig as he only got 1 kick before getting injured. B: R. Clarke, M. Hudghton, J. Geary HB: J. Gram, M. Maguire , S. Fisher C: L. Montagna, N. Dal Santo, B. Goddard HF: C. Gardiner, N. Riewoldt , X. Clarke F: S. Milne, J. Koschitzke, F. ...

Feel free to trump me on these ones. Going borderline on a few guys like Tuck, Madden, Ayres and Watson that were also around before the cut off date, but retired some time after 1990. My suggestions for improvements to your guys in brackets. Filled in most of the blanks. 16 and 28 are tough. I thi...

JUst an exercise I was doing with a couple mates. We went to 20. Please feel free to fill in the gaps: 1. SOS 2. G Williams 3. M Voss 4. A Lockett 5. G Ablett 6. 7. N Winmar 8. 9. 10. 11. G. Archer 12. M Richardson (better than Riewoldt at the moment for career) won't be popular call though 13. M Lo...

It is like the Sienfeld episode you support the jumper not the players. That has started in the AFL about 10 years ago

look to the other major sporting codes in the world and you will find AFL players are very loyal to their clubs look to the NBL matt Shannahan has played for a whoping 7 clubs !!!! , look to the NBA were players move on a yearly basis and legends of the game are traded off to the highest bidder . A...

Ticketmaster or not Stkilda mad ethe offer they have to take responsibility for the stuff up.
IT is then up to the club to work out the arrangement with ticket master

Assume everyone is fit and available ( attard, Baker aside) what would our best 22 look like. I'll have a go: B: Maguire, Hudghton, X Clarke HB: Gram, S Fisher, Goddard C: Montgana, Hayes, Gilbert HF: Dal Santo, Riewoldt, Schnieder F: Kosi , Gerhig, Milne Foll: King, Harvey, Ball Int: Fiora, M. Gard...

X Clarke has to be under the micro scope. Shows flashes but makes some bad errors for a guys who has played that many games. MIsses key shots on goal and bad turnovers. Raph is younger and should be given more time given he is also taller. Showed some good signes towards the end ( freo game stands o...

Depends on how advanced the pre season is. If hit the ground running then would expect 8-3 ( Coll better at G than Telstra). If not then could be 5-6 and behind the 8 ball.

With Sheedy talking a Richmond Kangaroos blockbuster StKilda must move now and arrange a blockbuster with another club for regular event. Perhaps play Easter or when ever, but they need a game locked in. They missed the boat a couple years ago with Geelong, and now we may be left behind all together...

you forgot Paul Morwood and Joel Smith
Unfortunately between Breen and Lockett and Thompson some of the aura was removed

I read in the herald sun it was going to be a straight player swap, no picks, although dod not mention the player from StKilda's end.

We do need smaller players who can kick goals though?

What Judd Said: I want to go home for family What Judd Meant: I can't stay here, too many drugs, etc What Judd Said: I want to go to a team who will push for a Premiership What Judd Meant: I want to go to a team who will pay me the most WJS: I want to play for a team who plays at the MCG WJM: How mu...

Couple of items not mentioned in the email: * Barry Brooks - This long legged fashion statement was a design that never realy caught on despite all the hype and excitement when it first hit the stores * Stephen Milne - this very loud outfit is one which can look great at times and terrible at others...

Did a brilliant job uniting players/supporters but too slow on moves & lost me when we went into Swans final without a ruckman, in spite of Brook's good game agst. Bris. Also - 'though may Not have been GT's fault recruit choices poor at end. Anyway what's done is done,let's move on!! GO SAINTE...

I beleive you can only receive 1 type of priority pick per season. So Carlton at 1 Richmond at 18 and 19 etc

I remember about 3-4 years ago it was the big call of a race to see who would win the Premiership first StKilda or Geelong. Well we all know the answer now. Why? After even 04 and 05 , where we were probably just in front and both had sub par 06 Geelong has run ahead. Some may use the injury excuse,...

Very harsh on some: * You rate Howard an Below Average pick after 1 year when the boy weighs 70 Kilo dripping wet, yet after 3 seasons McQaulter is listed as Average . Give the boy some time please * You are very kind on Sweeney too Otherwise a very detailed review. Do you have too much spare time o...

Barker- past best by then and often injured. A great player though.

Ball Good argument , perhaps I just rated Sziller higher than most

Shannahan got S Fisher covered at this stage.1 swallow doesn't make a summer
Baker is in back pocket

I think we need pace through the middle more than anything else, therefore we need to look at who is available that can help this. Kane Tenace is one that springs to mind. Cats will have salary cap prob soon and may trade him for 2nd rounder. We should keep pick 9 , unless a no brainer trade. Bigs. ...
