I can't believe Dwyer and Jack Daniels are mentioned :shock: Faults yes ... duds definitely not. They were both very good footballers in their prime. I would hope it is Mark Dwyer ex Fitzroy player who played 1 or 2 games and claim to fame was 3 games for fitzroy for 8 or 9 brownlow votes and not M...

Just relax a little Harvey Unlikey to play - Birrs back in Kosi Doubtful - Ferguson to Full Forward ( if wet McQualter in if Dry Fiora) Mcqaulter not in yet coulod be salary cap issue to as more payments per senior game could be an issue. King back rules out McEnvoy and Allen as too top heavy plus b...

Don't forget Rob Malone. Offered a trade by West Coast for the pick for Brett Heady and word is Hudson veto'd it for this guy who was that slow yesterday went past him. What about LAwrence Bingham and Darren Flannigan or Monky . Tony Antrobus must be in there also and S Clarke along with Mark Dwyer

Perhaps where we are on the ladder reflects our ability as a group. We have beaten below us, lost to those above ( syd exception) and split even with us - Carlton , Port. Strengths - hard midfield and power forwards Weaknesses - Lack of Pace, Lack of def accountability , injury prone players If you ...

Brian washed by my Older cousin. The old man (richmond supporter) worked Saturdays and therefore couldn't take me to the footy so my cousin used to drive us sown to moorabin to watch us get flogged ( except 1978) . Was brain washed with gifts , family days etc. Unfortunately once the passion exists ...

Geelong, Collingwood, Bulldogs. 3 games against top teams which we had the opportunity to put a gap in the game in the 1st quarter and didn't and end up losing games . Reality is StKilda is no more than a mid on the rung team , and due to the lack of internal development nothing will change. We have...

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?

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...
