Re: BRANDON WHITE

So he told AR in 2017 that he’s leaving at the end of 2018. That would be a good move for his 2018 season. If he said that in his 2017 exit, he would have been delisted. I think it’s a much more simple reason There is deficits in his game which keep him out There are deficits in every players game....

The conflict may have occured last year or in 2017. Perhaps Brandon was too honest in his exit meetings. He's young. Sometimes young blokes are naive and let things slip which can have consequences

Re: Margin vs Fruit Tingles

Listen, I am hoping against all logic, that not only will we finally be competitive in Radelaide, I actually hope we play with flair and courage, and manage to snuff Tex and Betts. I want the lads to take the game on, trust each other, not go into their shells, kick a winning score. I want us to wi...

Re: Rays of hope

The Doggies were playing in off in consecutive prelims in 2009/2010 and so if we use a similar logic then their rebuild would have started in maybe 2011 or 2012. 4 years later they played finals and in the fifth year they were premiers I'm not suggesting we are going to do the same because I believe...

Re: Give Ratts The Job

Ok. I am going to make an early call on this. Forget Brad Scott and especially forget Ross Lyon whose name shouldn't be mentioned in any way with St Kilda after what he did to us. Ratts is the man for the job. That's not an early call. As Mick Dundee would say....'This' is an early call: http://www...

Agreewith you there Ape Man Speaking of commentaters jacking off.

The derby in WA this year

I dunno, maybe another team in the AFL has only kicked 2 goals for an entire match this year and I missed it

I suppose when you've got your heart set on the bloke whose team can only kick 2 goals for an entire game of footy in 2019, I can understand how you'd go to the stat sheet to support your opinion

Re: Great Captains Game!

So he should be getting 3 votes every week? Then we’d need to up his contract a bit? As he would be an Elite mid. Which of course he is not. However unlike nearly all of our players, especially midfielder, he consistently wins the footy, and occasionally gets a best on ground, which very few of our...

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee

Can we PLEASE appoint Ratts NOW! Struggled to shake off a truly pathetic Melbourne. I've never seen a team turn the ball over more in one game ever. Melbourne scored 13.7.85 and coincidently also conceded their entire score of 13.7.85 in turnovers. St.kilda actually turned it over a lot... it's jus...

Re: Trade Long

Plenty didn't rate Long. Gone into hiding once again. I rate him, but overall would be disappointed by his year. Was good tonight, though. Thats what he needs to keep doing. He'd only played 14 games of seniors footy prior to this year. He might double his tally and still be under 30 games by the e...

Teague worked with Scott Watters in 2013
