People saying freeman's body is shot I don't agree.. Hes only 23 and kids at that age have a remarkable ability to recover.

He may not totally have his explosive speed and confidence back yet but he hasn't had a knee reco. No reason he can't get explosive again

Realistically every teams game plan is pretty similar. They all follow the teams that have success the previous year and basically try to copy it. Of course there are always tweaks and exceptions but they are all very similar. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with our game plan. When we play a ...

tony74 why are we bombing the ball inside 50 without looking over, and over and over and over and over again?? We would be better off telling the players, right look for a lead-up target and if one doesn't present then don't pull the trigger, don't even allow them to bomb - try this for a few quarte...

Yet we bomb it in like we have locket and Lowe down there

Agree he's always trying to nurse it through... should have blasted that last one through post high and not been so tentative

Probably played his last game of AFL.

I personally think Seb is being under rated here.

Put him in a better team and he looks much much better. He aint slow either his goal kicking and lack of x factor are the only real things that go against him.

Our backline is too slow and offers no rebound. I wish Geary would stop racking up backwards kicks and handballs and play purely as a stopper which he is good at. His ball use is so defensive and while his efficiency is high his meters gained would be very very poor. Gilbert, Brown & Geary shoul...

Out: Hickey!!!!! In: Anyone else!!!!! The fundamentals of team sport have been totally ignored when you single out just 1 player. It's this sort of post which continues to push an agenda where you lose all credibility. It's biased and subjective and has nothing to do with reality. You and some othe...

Word on the street is Freezer is in. I hope so the boys love him and it would give everyone a lift.

I think we're in a position now where we have to give everyone a chance and for mine he's well and truely earned a game.

Gresh will be one, Billings will too... hes had a 30 touch 5 goal game not many players can do that.

It’s funny, my match report of Longer at the Sandy vs Frankston the week before he came in copped a lot of criticism here... At the time I said that despite being the dominant ruck, he offered little around the ground with the suggestion that there was little to indicate that he’d developed his gam...

Hickey better than Longer.....but face facts....we dont have a first ruckman. In Marshall we may have a 2nd ruckman. Play him for the rest of the season with Hickey. Longer HAS to go...will never make it. Probably right but I'm not convinced Hickey is as bad as some say yet, the team has been playi...

Watching the game Longer gives us nothing beyond the ruck contest. Our team needs more than that given where we are . Stop the experiment stick with Hickey and Marshall He doesn't even do that. According to the AFL website Hickey has been better than Longer this year in the ruck. 8.6 hitouts to adv...

No Tom Hickey......give me a break Not surprising really. As unimpresive as Longer was on Sunday, he played in a “winning” team and given the outs of Carlisle and Battle, Richo is probably reluctant to make further changes to the talls than he’s already had to. Without knowing the state of current ...

As long as we don't give up our first round pick

Hitouts are the most over-rated stat there is - and anyway, Longer lost in the hitout department too. And Billy was absolutely destroyed around the ground. Melbourne is in sh1t form (losing their last 3 games), but despite this Gawn had a huge influence on the game (and was clearly BOG) - and had V...

Geelong would be all over Longer and I would think Hawthorn would be interested. Yeah potentially. Not sure though on Clarkson he's mentioned before that he thinks hit out's can be a pointless stat sometimes so assume he values around the ground work more. Ben Mcevoy certainly never that good at wi...

I find it hard to imagine any team would be interested in him. On the other hand he has age on his side and is good in the ruck but I'm not sure clubs today would be willing to look at someone who hasn't proven he can do literally anything around the ground at all. Fingers crossed he's competes hard...

I hope Longer makes it but honestly when watching him (hit outs aside) I can't think of a less mobile, more useless player around the ground. He's a liability as his opponent runs riot

Hopefully he comes on in the next 18 months

Hickey & Webster in

Acres too if fit.

The selection of some players, starting with Geary and Longer says it all about where St Kilda finds itself IF the Coach and the selection Panel prefer these non entities on an AFL field of play then they need to be moved on. I agree, I don't think Longer is even VFL standard. No other coach in the...
