Re: Injury update
Port hadn’t even been inside 50 by the time of the ground invasion. The way things were going we could easily have been 6 goals up by quarter time, had Port not had that chance to regroup. The way we started that game was some of the most scintillating footy I’ve ever seen us play. I suppose the ot...

Re: I'm tired of it YOY
Let's face it. North are going to be a bottom six team for a decade.
Goldstein, McKay, Cunnington, Ziebell and Thomas all leaving at once leaves them terribly exposed.
Without those guys and guys like Brown, they are going to struggle for years.

Re: Bogy team(s)
I think based on not only 2023, but since 2020, the bogy teams definitely seem to now be Port Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane Lions, Collingwood and the Crows. Given that four of those sides have been top 4 for much of the decade so far, it's hardly surprising. Bar those five, I am pretty confident of...

Luke Stubbs' perceptive take on Ross at Saints
This video was made 11 months ago, before the 2023 Saints had played a match against opposition in anger. His analysis on what RL might bring to the StKFC turned out to be pretty accurate. One thing I found very interesting was that he includes data Jake from Saints TV unpacked that during the 2022 ...

Re: I'm tired of it YOY
Year on year is usually an financial term to describe comparisons between years. In reality, positions 4-14 are very close and I don't think you can even come close to picking a top 8. It will almost certainly come down to luck and injuries. The comp equalisation strategy is finally working. Until ...

No thanks, I used to go and watch us and I reckon those two years were the all time worst as a St. Kilda supporter.

Re: Bogy team(s)
It must be the Adelaide-based teams. Geelong at Sleepy Hollow only. We've beaten them away from their taxpayer-funded dung heap often enough to disqualify them from true bogey status. As for those Adelaide teams, as other posters have pointed out, we don't get many chances to play them at our home....

Re: David King on St Kilda 2024
We are not as good a list as Sydney Untrue. This is vexing. On paper we should be better than Sydney - however - game against them are never easy to pick - they seem to have our measure some times - and we run over them others. As always - it depends on the St Kilda team who hop on the bus. Amen to...

Re: David King on St Kilda 2024
Fair enough. But teams always had to play their best key back on him (and sometimes more than one defender). They (and we) won't have that problem anymore.

Re: I would love the club to officially recognise Mike Patterson.
I think the real end of the 09/10 era was 2017 That was when Roo and Joey retired, Dempster finished up, Gilbert finished up. It was rebuilding time again!!! In Clark, Coffield and King Nah, there were a few retirements in that final match of 2013, Milney, Blake and Kosi, but we also lost Goddard, ...

Re: I would love the club to officially recognise Mike Patterson.
Anyone of my vintage would know (born '63), that St Kilda were sliding into the abyss just as we were hitting our teen years. We were too young for the glory, but now, he were gutted. Then came the 1978 season.... And it was as if we were back. Although we fell in a mighty hole mid-season, we recov...

Re: David King on St Kilda 2024
We beat Sydney with pace and outside run last year at the SCG. I think we look like we will be a quicker team this year going by our inclusions.

Re: David King on St Kilda 2024
On balance, I think we are clearly better than these teams atm: Essendon Fremantle Geelong (at Docklands only) Gold Coast (in Vic) Hawks North Richmond Swans The Bulldogs The Eagles And that's being realistic/conservative. Based on our 2024 fixture, this gives us 13 wins again in 2024. I reckon that...

Re: David King on St Kilda 2024
Predictions mean SFA. I think it suits our team to be underrated. We could finish anywhere from 5th to 15th. I think we’ll finish around 10th. I hope I’m wrong and we finish top 4. I reckon a 13th place finish (as predicted) is a bit ridiculous though. Was that Kane Cornes? I’m still worried about ...

Re: I would love the club to officially recognise Mike Patterson.
I think the club just wanted to bring Jezza in as coach, but yes, I have heard that story too. From memory we had a great preseason, even beating Carlton and hopes were high. I still remember how deflated everybody was when Melbourne (who weren't rated highly) beat us easily at VFL Park at the start...

As a coach old Swamp Fox was a real St. Kilda legend, right up there with Alan Killigrew.

No coach worth his salt would put up with players lying down on the field after a run. Jeans certainly wouldn't. Neither would Mike Patterson.

Re: Bet the house on Ross
That's an interesting comment. Seems like the press have found something to stick their boots into. Now Ross has too much power. I wonder if the same could be said of other successful coaches? Let the media stick their boots in, it's probably going to take a few generations to end it, and that's if...
