Good news. Much upside and has that rare commodity - pace

Watch the replay, our Captain threw the towel in. I hope the media picks up on it. f****** rubbish. and beneath you champ. Actually, the opposite. He was throwing himself in kamikaze style trying to lead by example. Also reckon he may have dropped a bit of condition due to the shoulder. Least of ou...

You make a really good point Crossy66, both Jordan Lewis going to Melbourne and Luke Hodge plus Grant Birchall to Brisbane have helped both those clubs to turn their fortunes around significantly. The lack of elite on-field leadership has been a major problem at St Kilda for a long time and has bee...

Biggest issue is that the players have lost belief. They have lost confidence, leading to frustration and almost giving up the fight. At the game, you could feel the life get sucked out of them after the Marshall turnover and definately the Battle one. This is where onfield leadership has to kick i...

Agree on getting rid of some players and clearing the cap. Kent is probably gone Hanneberry gone Billings... Set him free to free up cap. Get another forward and keep Membrey in the backline. He will be AA there. Trade out Battle - he has value now Free up cap for Taranto Trading Battle would be a ...

What last night proved is that Dougal is currently our best option for fullback, which is why we badly need to recruit another tall defender. Harris Andrews and or Ben McKay say hello Any reason you think they may be available, or that their respective clubs don't want them? I have no idea if they ...

I don't subscribe to the saints umpire bias, but no question the umpiring had a major impact on the game. I just think the AFL is becoming unwatchable due to over officiating, new rules etc. So many examples over so many games. Then there is the Ginnivan thing, ruck lotto, sometimes dissent, sometim...

Without Dougal we were hopelessly undersized down back.
Battle has been very good for a while now. We also missed an in form Paton.
Joyce and Highmore couldn't take the next step, add in Brad hill who is flakey as a defender and we were too easy to score against

SL was big on balancing the list profile, which we have done. I reckon we have a good balance of youth and experience and an even list. Just missing a couple of elites. If you added a petracca and Oliver to our side and had a good run with injuries, we would be in the mix. Ok so now we are 1-2 elit...

We’d be over the salary cap

Whilst true, it's an indication of how far away we are or what player type we need to add- 2 X high impact mids.
Anyway , I am at the stadium, so have my rose coloured glasses on

I’d suggest he is a very good player for the role he plays

Kicks straighter - he’d be A Grade

A very good footballer and glad he plays for us. Really hope has a great night. Go JB!

I don't think that signing Ratts or not has anything to do with having balls or lack thereof. You can mount an arguement either way. Clarko is a sacked coach off the back of 36% & 29% seasons. He also had the cattle that Ratts hasn't at this stage got- Franklin, roughy, Hodge, Rioli, Burgoyne, ...

Neither were best 22 before last night's game. But they are closing fast- huge step forward for both last night. Great see us developing talent.

Number one for me is applying extreme pressure, cause turnovers.
That goes mainly to attitude.

St Kilda will beat those a r s e h o l e s Schitzaphrenic much. You posted 5 minutes earlier we are going so bad we have to sack the board, sack the coach, Yet you think we will beat a form team, currently equal 2nd on the ladder🤣 Yes.

It’s interesting that when Bassat mentioned they were looking to extend Ratten a few weeks ago, and Lethlean on SEN today, neither of them said he’s an outstanding coach. They said ‘we want to keep the coaching group together’. Lethlean’s comments today (not in so many words and with some serious r...

Sharman is an OK mark and a good kick But so was Arryn Siposs He was absolutely towelled up by Blakey last night and has many deficiencies in his game. Highmore Too good for VFL But behind Battle and Wilkie who haven’t missed a beat outside of running in straight lines to attempt mark of the centur...
