Re: Simon Lethlean finished at St. Kilda effective immediately?

Could be wrong
But I got the impression that Lethlean was an AFL man so to speak
And an AFL appointee

Re: Simon Lethlean finished at St. Kilda effective immediately?

I am def. still on the Ross train and still feel the excitement and sense of possibility as much as I did when he was appointed. I think we ended up way higher on the ladder in '23 than our credentials would suggest and rode wave after wave of luck as other teams hit roadblocks - and I don't even mi...

Re: Simon Lethlean finished at St. Kilda effective immediately?

Is Ross toxic? Ross was a Captains pick by Bassett and that can create toxicity. It won’t be a problem if we are winning. Ross only answers to Bassett and doesn’t recognise anybody else in the organisation as being his master so that can be toxic also. That won’t be a problem either if we are winni...

Re: DFC

I just don’t see how the DFC contributes to StK winning a premiership? I mean, from a club point of view what’s the point of it?! Whilst having a center for mental health in the name of a beloved club icon is a good idea, (many levels IMO), to your question, well I think it’s about community and po...

Re: Let's talk about Jason Heatley

He was left on the bench too long in the second half of the 1997 Grand Final. Should have had more ground time. Here's where my footy knowledge is exposed. Keogh looked like a 'goer' to me. Obviously, in relative terms, he must have been limited. He did play 100 games in the reserves, mostly at Mel...

Heatley played a season at his old suburban club, North Heidelberg, and a couple of years with the Tassie Devils in the Victorian Football League. He then moved into coaching, spending time at the helm of Warrnambool. In 2012 he took the senior coaching job with Northcote Park in the Northern Footba...

Re: Let's talk about Jason Heatley

I’ve asked the very same question here a couple of years back. The folks around then gave me the impression he didn’t take training and physical conditioning too seriously.

So he fell away.

I had often wondered too. It I must say, on reflection, he don’t look so conditioned.

Maybe that is a policy or strategy now. Runners who are slight and wily are also injury prone? Like disposable chopsticks. Expect ‘em to break, but just hire a chorus of them, train ‘em and rotate them? Fair enough? You have one in rehab, one in Germany, one on the wing game day, one in Zebra stripe...

I suspect that after nursing Hannebury and others for years for practically zero return, the club made the decision to end its infatuation with injury-prone players. Hence McKenzie, Billings & Gresham were all let go. yeah... Feels like that from 12,000 kms away .. Now they have got Bonner, pos...

Don’t think it’s got anything to do with JB being a good bloke or not.

Are we being competitive? That is the question.

May 26th

If JB isn’t their firsts by then, whatsabet he shows up then?
