Saintsational poster’s true identity exposed!

Billy gets picked in the team for the first time since round 2.

Stonecold has not been sighted around here since then.

Coincidence? I think not!

Not enough time for forums when you’ve got a plane to catch!

Good luck Billy/Stoney! ;)


All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

BLonger?, I thought he was THickey. He was just being a bit hard on himself, to conceal his identity.


*Allegedly.

In an age where the leading ruckmen in the competition are credited with 20 or more possessions a game, so contributing around the ground, St Kilda in their wisdom go back to a knock ruckman who otherwise minimally touches the ball

So in effect we are one player down before we start

From what I hear of last week it was a cumbersome, out muscled and out run midfield that led to the rout particularly with Steven negated out of the game

And that cumbersome mid field is retained - along with other non contributors including those whose lack of pace puts their disposal under pressure aka Ross

No doubt Geary will come back after the bye to add to those the opposition wants to see the ball in the hands of

We had a round table reminisce en route and recounted the transition from Bill Wedding who was a multiple All Australian when we were all school kids in Adelaide to Neil Button who transitioned from a ruckman to a class CHF - as did Davies at Sturt and Carey at Glenelg

The focus was on SA footy because some of the guys did not cross the border but in the VFL ruckmen such as Teasdale and Moore among others replicated what happened in the SANFL

The knock ruckman was a dinosaur of a previous time

And now St Kilda go back to a knock ruckman whilst not addressing to core reason the team is languishing as it is

Players who lack a point of difference that makes them dangerous

So the one paced players and others with most obvious deficiencies survive

The options must be tried because that is where St Kilda is at

We need to know ahead of 2019

Those who saw last week's game were absolutely scathing - and Hickey was not the focus of the rants

The consensus is that the Ruskies would have outscored us yesterday

Mind you they were significantly dismissed prior as the worst side the Ruskies had put on the park - and 5-0!

Having Longer in the team means we're minus 20 possessions + having Nathan Brown in the team means we're minus another 20 possessions = minus 40 possessions

Team selection was self presivation cowardice.
Sometimes you have to go back to go forward.

Hoping for a loss tomorrow against Gold Coast.

Then
Sack the coach and his mates
Longer to never play again and Armitage to carry his bags.

Finally we can start to build a team of people that can make us a great club again one day.

Stone Cold loading up on protein bars and watching rocky movies as we speak.

Getting pumped for tomorrow's game.

Stoney is possibly Lazar, but who knows

Stonecold may be Stonewarm on the Gold Coast this weekend

Sadly no superman, batman and barely a robin this year but the Joker seems to be well represented.
