Re: The list

I tend to agree with the majority of the media on this and that we are likely to slide. I personally predict us to finish somewhere between 10 and 14. I think we have a reasonably list but we have less top end talent than other teams that will be looking to make the eight. We really lack any true ga...

Re: Webster appalling

I have no issue with 7 weeks being the expected punishment for a hit like this, as it was incredibly stupid, as long as it is applied consistently. However, I think we all know it simply won't be. Last year Maynard got let off a simply horrendous piece of thuggery and should have missed the Grand Fi...

Re: Round 2 Tickets

I have been a St Kilda Social club member for 30 plus years and this year I am finally wondering if I should bother renewing next year. I just purchased tickets to a St Kilda home game. That is why I have a membership so I don't have to buy tickets as all home games are included in the membership pr...

Re: A bit of help from regular game attendees pls

You can get General Admission tickets easily on the day. That will give you access to the third level which is where I always sit even when I have been offered level 2 or 1 seats as I think the view is better from there. It won't be a huge crowd so it shouldn't be an issue. If however you want 7 sea...

Re: Jack Bytel training with Collingwood

The reason he didn't make it here was that he is a one position player as an in and under coal face midfielder. It is a role we have no shortage of with Ross, Steele, Crouch and have just added another in Paddy Dow. The Pies have most areas covered on their list but one area they are short, with the...

Re: Is Jack Sinclair a ‘First-choice midfielder’?

Jack was drafted in 2015 and spent the first 5 years as a good ordinary player running through the midfield. He was not an automatic selection as a midfielder but was often a rotation through the bench. Then he was given a chance to play off half back and his game has become elite becoming one of th...

Re: Innovators win, not imitators!

There is nothing innovative about going all out on athletes which is what this trade and draft period has been. Ross has always put more value in effort than skill and athletic ability over footballing ability. Gresham leaving was neither here nor there as he was just after money and we weren't offe...

Re: St Kilda's Strengths and Weakness

I believe our biggest weakness is we have a coach who will always sacrifice attack for defence. Our game plan is to flood back in order to stifle the opportunities for the opposition. Other teams also flood back but not with the same numbers as we do. This means that when we get the ball we have to ...

Re: Thank god!!!

Marshall is a great round the ground ruckman, as good as any running around in the competition. However, he is not a great centre square ruckman and definitely not a forward. He needs to play as the number one ruckman and we need to accept that his tap work is his weakness in that role. His tap work...

Re: Who replaces Gresham?

Gresham was an X factor player who could do the occasional spectacular thing maybe Henry is the replacement for that.
However, he was an absolute ball butcher and that we have replaced with Paddy Dow who also has the elite disposal skills of a drunken baboon.

Gresham vs Henry - little difference. Henry quicker both truly appalling kicks of the football. Billings vs Dow - Billings at his best is better than Dow but as Billings has been injured probably ahead with Dow.
