Re: People Blame Lade for our woeful forward set up.

Forward line is dysfunctional.. at best ... that is a direct reflection of the coach. Players get in each others way They have no system of kicking at goal They are hap-hazard in approach Yes there issues in transition between mids and forwards. The forwards need to demand the ball how they want it....

Re: The Age says Clarko would like Ben Long at Norf

They took Guerra because he was a great kick.Clarkson also recruited Dew on the other HBF his theory was elite long kicks to beat the flood and get the forwards (buddy) in open space. Liehert used his thumping kick on many occasions to get over the press. Long does not only get a lot of possession'...

Serviceable. But there is no more upside. Realistically becomes a list blocker.
Unless he can being a coaching role to the ground ... which he hasn't given any indication.

Enforcer. Good for pitch hitting in the centre.
Every good team has someone that causes the opposition to second think. That moment of hesitation.

Re: Where to now for Billings?

Playing without confidence.
Has zero currency and is at the cross roads.
Has talent. Is there desire?
Could be used better. But needs belief in himself and a want to win.

Re: Cheerio Matt Finnis - St Kilda CEO since 2014.

My issue is the wokeness and social justice. The talk about town at the moment is getting Clarko to Essendon as he will bring back the ruthlessness. Ruthless is not something that has ever been associated with stklida. Ross Lyon was uncompromising. Grant Thomas has that aspect as well. The coaches u...
