So both King and Wright to miss?

Actually might be ok. I think they need Wright against us more than we need King vs them

It's amazing how much hatred there is still for Billings on fan forums (and presumably among many St Kilda fans). It wasn't his fault that he got picked ahead of Bontempelli: if he'd been taken with a second round pick, he'd probably be a fan favourite. He's never going to be a superstar, but I wou...

Tough break for the kid

Hated to lose him but it has been a miserable start got him in new colours

Kid just needs composure… has a tendency to rush his disposals Reminds me a touch of Raph Clark in that if he doesn’t have time to think and just does… he’s almost perfect every time. If he stops to think, he’s wobbly. I really like him. He’s a good player even if he churns out the odd stinker. 5% m...

Are you saying Billings has never played a good game against good opposition? Not sure I agree with that? I just look at his body of work over 160 games as a HF/wing And his numbers stack up It’s a bit like the false narrative that he is soft Asking yourself your own questions to make yourself look...

20 disposals 1 goal From Billings - in a 9 goal win I’m on your side here… but decent games in easy wins against mediocre opposition aren’t making your point for you. No one ever doubted that Billings can play good games or that he’s a capable performer. The issue is his ability to produce consiste...

The AFL really need to out and say the compilation is based around a few clubs being successful. StKilda are merely there for someone to provide a contest. If this suspension is upheld I doubt any StKilda supporter can ever believe in a fair comp. I doubt few believe that now. Any pretence was lost...

Indeed. Quite the list actually

Welcome Charlie, feel free to hang around and contribute

Looking for Arie and Garcia to put their hands up to cover Wood.

Also want to see Crouch make us all doubt whether dropping him was actually a sensible idea

could the discussion move on to .... why it's inappropriate for the forum my beef is if i was a newbie or an oldie 'n i read just those thread titles i'm not sure SS would get any more of my time This is actually a fair point. To me, this was the forum equivalent of constantly bringing up/rehashing...

Sydney Sainter. You will have to live by that s*** post last week. I admit, I was wrong and I’m very happy to be. Absolute cop out I’m sick of hearing s*** like that Very poor supporter If you want to waste your energy engaging in a measuring contest, that’s your business. I’m enjoying the win. If ...

Want to bump this post… Exactly what I’m talking about. Polar opposites almost from all three players. Higgins sinking them in from all over the place Byrnes had a shaky start with disposal early but went up to effective and looked a million dollars and whilst Owens didn’t kick goals last night… He ...

No one’s arguing that he had a good game… I pointed most of the subsequent comments about his poor performance in OP.

This was just one minor positive that I saw and liked

By a large a step down from his performance last week and I believe that that was him run down in the last, that led to Collingwood’s last ditch resurgence late in the game… not that they got too close. Estimating that with about 7-8minutes to go, Wilson got onto the end of a pass at half back… kind...

Jack Higgins is the guy… 0.4 in the practice match, 0.1 having missed a sitter last week and responded today with 4.1 off 13 touches and 3 tackles. Kicked the first goal, kicked the sealer under pressure and was an absolute nightmare for the pies all evening. What a difference slotting the easy goal...

See this is what I thought we were getting when we drafted a young man named Raph Clarke. An elite play maker that is good in the air. From memory Raph was taller and perhaps better aerially but geeez NWM is an absolute general in defence. Takes all of the hard kicks, backs himself to thread the eye...

6 weeks!!! What’s the injury? I thought he was just concussed (not just concussed, you know what I mean).

Yep. Feels like he’s since the second quarter last week, he’s been doing the role us here on SS wanted him to do last year. Not a defensive forward or a shut down BP, a running defensive mid that wins his own ball too

5. NWM - brilliant all night 4. Higgins - one for each goal 3. Marshall - keeps on producing 2. Windhager - my pick of the mids today. Did the job on Daicos but hurt them the other way too 1. Owens - I feel like he was involved in many of the big moments and did tough stuff when it mattered Unlucky ...

I wonder if there is a bit of a Windhager thing going on here. Most of us were miffed last year that after a strong finish to 2022, he wasn’t played in a traditional midfield role to win ball but still be a defensive tagger type. Both defence and offence. The word from the ITKs was that he was getti...

What did he say ?

Disappointed in Jones’ effort so far

At the risk of being the early umpire hater… Kings getting held something shocking I thought that should have been a 50 for Cooper after he was swing post mark And a Saints forward player was collected from the front in our forward line by his opponent that didn’t look to get the ball to me - Henry ...

Sinclair and Membrey get the biggest cheer from the crowd
