Funny how every other stadium hasn't got a roof and no one complains about a star that's been there for billions of years.
Let's hope someone has told Richardson that there's no off-sude rule in Australian Rules.

That's because every stadium without a roof is aligned correctly so as to minimise the issue.
They didn't bother to do that at docklands stadium, because...it has a roof!


*Allegedly.

Richo just admitted to the coaching group getting it wrong last week


I reckon we’ll see a different style of play but pretty similar end result

Teally Geeling is north south like Etihad, so was Moorabbin and Waverley. The only two that were east west was the MCG and Princes Park.

We are looking better than any performance so far this year

Structure is there and we have players to kick to forward of the ball

GWS currently leads the tackle count 11-4. St Kilda was the No.1 ranked team last season for tackles with an average of 6.6 per game more than its opposition. This season the Saints are ranked 15th with an average of six tackles less than its oppositio

An interesting stat

Coffield is an absolute gun.
So clean. So quick. Good size.
Look out.

Reasonable start

Billings miss for goal was very frustrating

Coff long gresh Jake white have been pretty good and Weller has made a reasonable star

Coffield looks a player.. Billings... not much more needs to be said to be honest. Good to see Dicko is making a difference down there :roll:

Loved that run and long flat kick off half back. Going to be a star.

Great to sees some tough tackling pressure, Coffield has all the makings to be a star, white really having a crack. Can’t afford to drop any pressure. And Long showing a bit, good on him.
