Re: Tom Simpkin
Has improved out of sight on what we saw from last last year and I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't lost a single one on one contest for the whole year. Just amazing how often he gets a fist in or reads it well and marks it.

Re: What's up with Sam GILBERT?
Were you at the game tonight, or last week, or every week (at least in Melb) for the last few years? His mistakes and terrible performances in marking contests and so on are costing us in a big way now and he's barely a shadow of the Sam Gilbert that came 3rd in our B&F in a grand final year (20...

Re: What's up with Sam GILBERT?
Have been a huge fan of Gilbo's for a long, long time, but I think it is almost time. In fact sitting there tonight at the game, I was dead certain it is. I wouldn't have thought in a million years that I'd ever be calling for Raph Clarke to come into our side to replace Sam, especially after Raph h...

Re: VFL Rd 8 Sandy Vs Bullants- Radio, SCORES
I'd say if it wasn't for his tremendous kicking, he would be about a million miles away from playing AFL footy at the moment, unfortunately. Just don't really hear any positive news about him at all.magnifisaint wrote:What is the go with Crocker???

Re: Sam Dunell
I have heard Essendum are very angry at st.kilda for picking up Sam Dunell. Have you heard how pissed we were at Essendon making Lovett out to be a "top bloke" before we gave up our first round draft pick for him? I think this would currently pale into insignificance compared to that. Hea...

Re: the new kosi
Good article. Maybe we'll get to see the best of Kosi for a full season, perhaps better than his 2009 season, which was very good. Nice read on Kosi If you are a subscriber.

Re: Monday Night Football Sucks!
The only minor issue I have with the timeslot is that means we have to wait all weekend and then some for the game. Seems unnatural. Pretty much everyone has moved on, except that there's another game to be played. As for the "live TV audience" thing, is channel 7 doing it, or just Foxtel?...

Re: Our rookies
Kosi has another year on that contract, apparently, so I don't imagine he'll be going anywhere, as we'd have to pay him out anyway. If his current form continues he may even get a payrise!

Wow, potentially great news re Fisher. Ledger stiff, but don't mind it terribly, as it will make him all the more hungry and determined when he does finally get a shot.

Re: Our rookies
Did I read correctly that we'll be able to upgrade someone from the rookie list at the halfway mark of the season, even if we don't have a long term injury (which we hopefully won't)? If so it will be very interesting to see who we upgrade, as you could probably make a good case for Curren, Dunell a...

Re: Jackson Ferguson
Not that I've seen a lot of him, but someone who comes to mind when I think about him is Jonathan Hay, who was similarly built and sized, from memory and was quick and athletic.

Re: Jackson Ferguson
Extremely good signs from him so far, both early last year and in recent weeks. Looks like a slightly taller version of Sam Gilbert (looked an inch or two taller, in the team photo), but hopefully without the very inconsistent kicking. Apparently he's been playing on "smalls" a lot in the ...

Re: Who takes the Blues Ruckmen resting forward?
I'm just glad that we let Zac, who is ideally suited to that job, walk out the door, while making sure we signed up the likes of Peake, Ray and so on, at the end of last year. We did some good trading and drafting at the end of last year, but that was certainly not our smartest work, IMO.

Only have the guts to do it when they're s...

Re: Time for Roo to go back.
I thought Roo played well on the weekend. Marked well, and kicked for goal well (except for that one at the end of the 3rd qtr). Secondly, Carlton doesn't really have dominant tall forwards. I'm presuming they will bring Waite back for Monday night's game, but he isn't worth changing your whole for...

Re: PLEASE STKILDA BOARD let goddard and montagna go
We're in a bit of a quandry with both BJ and Joey, as both are playing quite a bit below their best and BJ has been since 2010. If they don't lift in a big way then I think it would be irresponsible to pay them "overs" (what they were probably worth when they were at their best, a couple o...

Re: Thought this was sorted?!!
Time to get very creative with our contracts. Maybe some of those who are coming to the end could be re-signed on to new back-ended contracts that will give them more in the last year or so than they would usually get. Like maybe offer Lenny a two year deal for $500K or whatever, per year, instead o...
