My favourite aspects of DMac's game is his ability to win one-on-one contests, which i think people may underestimate at the moment.

Agree.

Please not farking Longer. Anyone but bloody Longer!

Agreed lets move on from Longer!

Longer should come back in this week as he has a history of playing well against Gawn. Marshall stays in too of course. The name of the game is winning - and I remember Billy toweling him up at the G a couple of years ago, when he had been on fire form wise until that stage. He's beaten him once! L...

Very disappointing for Paddy and for St Kilda, but it's hard not to criticize our recruiters. When Bart Cummings went to the yearling sales he selected the healthiest young horses with the best confirmation and scope. We've deliberately selected an overweight diabetic as 1st choice in all of the co...

I have the feeling he really doesn't want to give it away but is going to be forced that way. It's quite sad

Sinclair is not a forward neither is Acres.

We either play them through the middle or don't play them at all

We were murdered out of the middle despite winning the hit outs easily. Really missed Jack Steven.

I don;t know why they didn't throw Acres into the middle for a few center bounces.

Jack Billings has been awesome this year... bloody loved his game tonight, he messed up a few times... Should have taken a couple shots he elected to pass but he's really building at the moment.

Marshall will beat Hickey when they play each other

Clarke for Mackenzie

Problem was Longer has / had no market value

Pretty happy but worried about our defense.

In the fact there is not a lot of speed or dare to rebound and that was an issue last week especially late.

I don't like Geary on the wing either unless he's going to be a pure tagger

or though his opponent took the mark i was also very impressed with lonie running back with the flight. in a marking contest on the suns half forward flank

Marshall would have got thumped today in the ruck as well but then I am sure he would have beat Witts around the ground and taken some good marks / provided a target.

Marshall for Pierce
Clarke or Acres for Dunstan
Hind for Mackenzie (I thought we lacked a bit of dare and speed out of the back when the game got tight and think Hind can bring this)

Hi Sainters, Just looked at the injury report video (thanks for posting Bratty) - when it gets to Paddy, we’re informed that he’s still symptomatic and can’t be fully assessed at present and then our physio says that they’ll have “an update for you (I.e. us) probably in a FEW WEEKS” -yep, that’s wh...

After last year we can't expect nice things written about us or people to expect us to do anything good this year. It angers me that we can't really defend the club verbally because a lot of it is justified... Having said that I have a feeling last season has really resolved the playing group to bou...

This guy is one of the worst Journo's around.

He has a high profile but that's because he has strong opinions and is not afraid to bend the truth.

Frankly I think he has an agenda against the Saints as well, I don't say that lightly

The skills were not the best but the conditions were very windy on the ground this was mentioned by quite a few people.

I would not read much into the skills at this point.

Hunter has been excellent as well.

No Billings, Gresham, Steven, Steele, Long, Membrey Webster, Carlisle and Hanners so fair chunk of best 22 out

Ball movement has been good for mine.. Paddy should be passing it to himself he's hit a few guys up on the lead but no one seems to be able to hit him lace out.

Parker outstanding

We might do worse than just kicking up the guts as far as possible where Billy would lurk and just take our chances with the chaos ball that results. The tired old set piece of last year was ineffective so there has to be a change up and a few scenarios used to at least try to confuse the oppositio...
