i think coaches are overrated. It's convenient and neat to package all our problems and assign them to the coach... but arent we denying the real issue that way? I think we idealise our players too much and think they're better than they are. - we dont have enough runners or goalkickers and some of ...

Our Strength is also our weakness

We have tall marking forwards - that's our strength. Kosi and Riewoldt can take a lot of marks or at least contest marks inside 50. But they dont kick enough goals - we can only rely on 1-2 goals from each. So a lot of effort is put into delivering the ball to them - for little return. And when the ...

Asked him how many possies he had - i didnt know :lol: 8-) I said that he may have been a bit silly in saying that he should have given it away last year and that it was good to see him stick it to those who were stupid enough to pull the curtain down on a champion too quickly!

Pureoctain - your team looks good. but what happens on the injury front will determine how we finish in 2008 - the 95%. the rest (including the coach) amounts to 5%. As Lyon said (during the season, following Riewoldts return from injury) he's a better coach with Riewoldt in the team and he will be ...

pace is not over rated - it's an ingredient that we need more of - for team balance. All else being equal - pace is a major consideration - and what St Kilda needs more of. consider this 1. when the ball is in open spaces - and the MCG has plenty of open spaces - we get beaten to the ball more often...

Most of the public seated in the lower deck around the wing position(where I was seated) had their faces roasted last Saturday and a lot moved out of their nice seats to stand upstairs under cover. I hope some of the administators who decide on this issue got som...
