Interestingly enough… it’s reportedly suggested in the news (according to FB) that North are showing interest in Membrey and Ross to bolster their leadership/experience. Very very happy to deal Membrey would be good for them actually Ross too - excellent leadership, durability, low kms …sign here C...

as RTB said, "they are screaming for umps"

not to mention the caning they get from Curly....
If Stengle can kick with his non preferred he's an upgrade on Higgins playing deep forward. He's worth the money in my book. Higgins can impact up the ground as a high half forward and Stengle can stay closer to goal. We have to try and bring in A grade quality and he's still quite young. It pains ...
Not great news about Nas, hope everything turns out ok Surprised about Jones. Obviously didn’t want to go interstate too young. Crouch is cooked I reckon Sub Jones, Sharman, Ross or Wilson Probably Zak Shyte coaching Good coaches fix player family issues with a click of their magic fingers… Poor Lyon
He was their most dangerous forward- that much was obvious Let's be clear, there is nothing obvious about that performance. 1 goal from their most dangerous forward...Explains why they struggled to score for most of the match. In a team that went at 76.7% disposal efficiency for that game, you reck...
You cannot just have a clear out and go to the draft needing 6 or 7 players. Then you end up with picks in the 70s and 80s who you have to give 2 year contracts to and whose chance of ever being good enough to become a regular AFL player is about 1 in 20. You can bring in a bunch of 26/27 year old ...
There's those of us who believe the overall strength of the side more than makes up for the lack of one or two A grade midfielders. Steele almost won the Brownlow, so he's definitely A grade. Then theres Clark, Dow, Windhager (who can shut down a Naicos) ... and we have strengths in other areas of ...
RTB takes his finger off the pulse more often than not, then, judging by our wins vs losses. We have talented players like Hill, Wilkie, Battle, Nas, Clark, King, Wood, Sinclair, Windhager, Steele ... when the wins come, they are largely as a result of the abilities and efforts of these players. We...
https://www.afl.com.au/news/1149955/st-kilda-coach-ross-lyon-says-league-has-gone-too-far-with-free-kick-clarity ROSS Lyon claims the AFL has "gone too far" with public explanations of contentious umpiring decisions after the league admitted Max King should not have been paid a free kick ...
In 2009/2010 I was very content with our scoring prowess - I’ve not experienced another year like 09 where I would go to the footy and opposition fans were shyte scared of playing us cause they expected to lose…. I want that level of sustained performance again No other available coach out there ri...
I read today that Hawthorn are right in to Battle, but he has strong relationships at St Kilda. So it would appear the only way we lose him is if we try to low-ball him. Apparently been offered 800 over 6 by club That’s a good deal If Hawks want to go stupid then ok it’s on them and if that trigger...
If he is such a guru Firey Why is his team performing so poorly And CANT he make changes to fix the issues - not just personnel but also game style Lyon also needs a bit more selection integrity. What’s the term for a group of muppets? A gaggle? Anyway , Schoey in this week love that RTB is driving...
A gun midfield is much more important than a "two prong attack". A gun midfield makes an average defense and offence so much better. Like someone said earlier, Pies won with no gun forward. The Dees won with Ben Brown. Geelong had a dynasty with an elite midfield making guys like Hawkins,...
Due to Is what you actually said Don’t back track, just say you didn’t mean it and meant to say Maybe it’s contributed You are actually arguing but not stating the factual commentary Lucky I don’t use the quote button eh?! Then you make some personal insults because you know what you said. I have e...
There has to be a balance ... it's the mindless OTT adoration of RL by some - that's what we "hate" on this forum. Hate is a strong word, Mr Magic, mind you (be careful using it). RL is just doing his job - no-one hates him for that. We might not like his game plan, and see other shortcom...
Marshall - A Grade Steele - A Grade Sinclair- A Grade Wilkie - A Grade Wanganeen Milera - Almost A grade if he’s not King - Should be A Grade (kicked 50 goals two years ago) Hill - we pay him like an A Grader Potential A Graders Henry - played out of position Wilson - tracking well Solid foot soldi...
Sometimes the hatred is so ingrained the person is not capable of seeing what the reality is. And they convince themselves that the hatred doesn’t exist but it’s only healthy skepticism What’s that expression - one can’t see the forest for the trees. Or there are none so blind as those that will no...
I don't expect us to make finals.. I do. It's a long season and we are only three games out of the eight. You want to be coming into form the other end anyway. Our injury list is nothing like it has been for past 18 months and other clubs are copping their fair whack. And our players pilloried to p...
Seems to me that some coaches figure out a way through this RTB’s plan and some don’t. When they figure it out… we tend to look pretty bad. That said… I thought RTB put on a master class on Saturday night Only lost three games by over 4 goals since the man took over. And it looks as if the boys jus...
We get the entries but they're mostly wasted long and deep that opposition know is coming and get setup to rebound out. If we clean up entries to hit targets, I'd suggest another 12-15 controlled 30-35m looks a game. If those shots are at 50%, there is the 100 points and we're lauding Ross the atta...
Seems to me that some coaches figure out a way through this RTB’s plan and some don’t. When they figure it out… we tend to look pretty bad. That said… I thought RTB put on a master class on Saturday night He packed the backline and hard tagged a running mid and that was about it.. pretty basic stuf...

On more than one occasion against GC hill and nas were gesturing to the forwards to lead at them and king and co were behind their opponent .so they just bombed in ,happens alot and really noticable when you watch them live.another major issue is our forwards getting outmarked and not even halfing ...
And on Saturday night we played a team with a gun midfield. We won. And we won because the coaching strategy thwarted Gold Coast's highly talented mids. Make no mistake We won Saturday because the coaching strategy out witted Damian Halfwit who admitted they couldn’t cope Taking Miller out of the g...
