Re: Concerning Recent St Kilda Stories

From the ABC interview with Rod Owen, the Little League apparently wasn't run by the club, the article didn't say who funded the team (jumpers, drinks, etc) but the club let the team use Moorabbin? Did wealthy supporters put money into it? It started as SSB (State Savings Bank) Little League, the ba...

Re: Mid season draft. What every club needs

I can't see why we wouldn't use all four picks if they are signed until the end of the season. A ruck and mids, if anyone else goes down there we're screwed. Most clubs will have at least one pick now and I dont think the talent pool is that deep? Callum Twomey reported most clubs have no more than...

You can't put Coffield back in, after his dismal showing in the VFL. I love the kid, but after less than 10 possessions - seriously??? No Carlisle either. Too slow. Geary for Marshall - leave the rest as is. Give Highmore another go. Coff was on a great trajectory last year. Intercept marks, drive ...

Re: King signs until 2026

Perhaps we should have linked the remuneration to set shot accuracy! Each set shot he misses from under 50m, he should be penalised $2000. Hit him in the hip pocket. He ain't worth $750k until he decides to get serious with his accuracy. Until he can convert at about 65%, he's a huge BUST in my boo...

Re: Can we still make finals?

There's a huge gap between our best and worse. The only players who get the job done, are Steele and Crouch (Brad had 28 touches n 9 tackles vs Cats) The others might 'try their hardest' and 'are hurting too' but raw numbers say they're not doing their job. Hell, even Skunk goes missing in large pat...

Re: Lonie courage

Yes Lonie showed incredible courage. But Sincs should NEVER have done that to him. It was stupid footy by Sincs, as Lonie was severely outnumbered in size and weight. It was a low % play, just kick n hope. Sure, if King hadn't fumbled, he might have goaled (or missed, more likely) But...a hospital k...

Re: Dougal Howard's point.

Sitting right on front of it, I thought he handballed it so it would just hang and drop down, but it kept going to the boundary due to the momentum of the push from behind by the tackler. Hoping it might go over the line is not the same as deliberately making it go over. From my angle it looked lik...

It was such a 'St Kilda' thing to do. Not Lonie's courage; no... The dinky kick by Sinclair to a tiny player outnumbered, destined to get crunched.
