Is he a midfielder? Because last time I checked that was the area we are in need of most.

Backs Wilkie - Howard - Webster NWM - Battle - Paton Mids Marshall - Steele - Sinclair Hill - Clark - Wood Forwards Butler - Owens - Henry Higgins - Sharman - Allison Int Ross - Garcia - Stocker - Hotton Sub Jones Emerg Schoenmaker- Wilson - Hastie Understandable but pretty underwhelming, sadly. Do...

Precisely the reason why we need to end this stupid alignment.

Nobody wins.

Rankin will get 3 They have plenty of good players, I’d tip them over there in a close one, aided by crowd based umpiring At Marvel we’d win by 8 goals Agreed on both counts, but I also meant that they will struggle for wins generally if Izak is out for a month. They might get over us, but they wil...

Well, there goes the Crows overtaking us on the ladder.

I can see us beating them over there this weekend now.

They could have had JHF and Harley Reid too. What North did was not unlike what we did over ten years ago. I think their issue may be player retention though. I think we are on the right track now finally after stuffing up our draft picks and topping up. Remember that there is still talk of Zurhaar ...

When we play the Eagles and Tigers at Docklands it would be good if we could try to kick 20 goals in each of those games. Build a bit of fluency with our scoring as well as confidence in our abilities for next year.

Done dirt cheap mate

I would like to see how he and Philippou could combine against the Swans. Hopefully he plays.

A lot of people probably felt that way in 1997 when we won only one of our first five games and then recovered to finish on top of the ladder for the first time in 32 years and play off in our first grand final in 26 years. Same as 2008, when we were bundled out of finals, and recovered to finish on...

Apparently, Max was injured on Sunday according to reports. Look, it allows Sharman to play FF, Membrey can play high HF and Marshall can rotate through the forward line and ruck. We will probably do okay against the Swans without winning, but hopefully we can beat the Crows in Adelaide the week aft...

Battle for pick 19 would be a(nother) list management disaster for us. It won't happen. We offered him the $800k early in the year, we've since offered him more. So if Hawthorn beat our offer, which they need to, we get band 1 compo. Our decision is simple, what's the maximum you pay for a third ta...

I was there yesterday, and I can tell you that Josh Battle is an absolute star and should be kept at all costs.
He is one bloke we cannot f**** lose.
Bloke is a jet! EOFS.

I certainly don't think just playing finals is the ultimate benchmark for success - a premiership is. In fact, in support of the point you were making, Port Adelaide have certainly been a far superior team to us over the past decade, but since 2015 have only won a single final more than we have. And...

For the first time I concede king is a bust I feel sorry for him. The club and coach need to take some of the responsibility for the way he's currently playing His brother is flourishing so you have to wonder what might have been if Max was playing for a different club. Max was obviously the twin t...

This would be our most senior experienced side we have had in our team all season. In true St Kilda style we still have B Crouch out, which is probably THE player we could do with the most against Port Power, but hopefully we can cover him and get the win anyways. I actually think we will win tomor...

I have thought about this a bit more and I think this will motivate our club and players.

I'm now convinced a victory is possible for us this week.

I'm with you. We are not far away from a blowout game. I think it could be this week.

And Campbell is such a good ruckman

16.10.106 against a top 4 side - i/s - suggests that they are, yes.

Wish we had another strong tall fwd.
Their talls, Gorgeadis and T. Marshall will cause us problems.

Play Campbell and let RoMa go forward. That'll do.

He might be in a bit of trouble for an incident with Berry.

Our effort nearly beating this mob is looking better by the minute, judging by what they are doing in Adelaide today.

Not anymore.

The other game where we looked good in patches was against North Melbourne where we kicked 15 goals 13 behinds for our only score over 100 for the year.

Not any more

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...
