Re: Changes for bombers

This would be my team for this week, 4 changes, and pulling a few surprises, like Bruce to CHB and Newnes to back flank. All 4 backs can kick the ball and have speed, not including Full back and Centre half backs. Geary to play as a midfield tagger only. Long very lucky to stay in this team based o...

Re: Changes for bombers

Wilkie will play without doubt. He looked very comfortable. Who does Brown replace? I reckon speed and good intercepting marking will be front and center this week so does Brown fit the bill? It wont surprise me if Wilkie and Battle are our new poster boys in the backline by years end and Brown is ...

Re: Battle: Star

Really good OP RF and concur.

Beyond the slap and tickle generated about the quality of the game, the 1 point margin and the expectation we should have won big, Josh was one of the massive wins within the win. A big tick to the coach and Josh for taking the risk.

Re: A win for the True Believers

It was positive that we got the points I guess. We had moments where we played some good football. But we also had some real stretches of shyte where we were nowhere near it. Now we need to knock off Essendon. Anyone else just have zero confidence though. I just cant back em. I reckon the patches w...

I heard Richardson is our 2nd longest coach in st.kilda's history ? really .... I think st.kilda as a club has listened to many supporters and constantly given in and made choices, like replacing the coaches. Its obvious st.kilda are going through a difficult time with strategy's and players and i ...

Re: A win for the True Believers

No. It doesn't work like that. Everyone had us as the heavy favourites We were playing at home and we were expected to win. We also got a huge advantage during the game when they got those injuries It's good to win and I'm happy for the players...but "A win for the True Believers" my arse...

Re: A win for the True Believers

The list is fine. Yep and I think the selectors need a pat on the back for this week, considering some of the players that weren't available for selection they had the courage to go with 3 debutants and a couple of underdone players. DMac needs a special mention, his selection shows how much high r...

I chuckled when Josh ran into an open goal for a gimme and just gently guided it along the ground.

So proud of the club and players tonight. They have endured so much crap of recent times, sadly mostly from thier own supporters. I loved the passion they showed singing the club song.

Re: What are the qualities of our coaching that people rate and respect?

I can confirm he is widely respected. Regarded as a good coach but does get things wrong. Who's perfect. The worst performed coach in the history of the AFL still coaching because his contract was extended when it clearly should not have been. He is now going into his sixth season as "coach&qu...

Re: Rd 15 2018. The day Gawn was found out?

The game plan worked really well that day against Melbourne, it helped we had 3 talls fit and functioning. Alan really exposed Melbourne's other weakness that day by moving the ball quickly out of defence, especially going wide. Sorry in advance for mentioning positive coach traits.

Re: Clark & Marshall miss yet Lonie gets a gig...

Ran whole pre season with 3 talls, McCartin goes down surely Marshall comes in as can play multi position and allows Bruce to stay forward. Is Acres injured - obviously not Richos favourite we all know that? Hopefully have a plan B forward as both JLT games were set up for plan A? Like spert said, ...

A. Collingwood. B. Hawthorn. C. Gold Coast. D. St Kilda. E. Sydney. F. Carlton. G. None of the above. Please lock in your answer and your reasons..... Last time I checked there was 18 teams :) Kind of hoping Melbourne goes off the rails a bit. Mainly because we seemed on somewhat even footing (or e...
