Re: Petracca and Bont
Our F*** ups hard to hear about Yorkeys?! Perhaps we should ignore our history??? There's acknowledging our history. And then there's dwelling on it. A week rarely goes by when someone on here doesn't bring up McCartin/Petracca and Bont/Billings. I totally get the frustration. Those picks were wron...

Re: Petracca and Bont
Would be great if we could let the Petracca/McCartin and Bont/Billings thing go. Melbourne picked Trengove and Scully over Dusty and now they're playing in a GF. Bloody good on em. Let's focus on what we can do rather than what we didn't do. We've got a solid list that needs some tweaks. Hopefully w...

Re: Lonie
Which match winning goals? The one against GWS in round 1 was alright I thought it was Membrey Snap over his shoulder from the boundary. In the wet. Right hand end on the TV. Pretty decent kick. Next goal was Butler after a free against Cal Ward. Lonie, I mean. Though I do agree his time has probab...

Re: Not Good Enough (Or Was It????)
This will probably get howled down, as their are a few on here that have been calling for Butler to be dropped - and rightly so, to a certain extent. But I'd love if we tried playing him on a wing in the final few rounds. We really need the ball in his hands more often, especially going inside forwa...

Re: Culture of St Kilda Football Club
The culture is changing for the better. Good coaches good Pres. Inspirational captain. Recruiting recently been ok overall. But we know change takes time and players that won't or can't get on board have to go over time. However AFL does not have flexible employment arrangements and most players ta...

Re: Culture of St Kilda Football Club
Anyone on here advocating for us to relocate or merge needs to take a decent look at themselves as a St Kilda supporter. That's the kind of weak-kneed capitulation that we as a football club need to distance ourselves from. Can't believe how quickly and easily some people on here turn. Lose a game a...

Re: And That's Why We Torture Ourselves!!!!
Said after last week's fourth quarter that our fadeouts were all too to do with negative mindset and conservative ball movement. So glad we kept taking the game on in that last quarter when the games was still in the balance. Couple that with our effort, pressure and physical aggressive, we can beat...

Re: Can teams actually get fitter late season?
Though fitness could be an issue, I blame our fadeouts on a complete lack of courage with the footy. When teams come at us, we tighten up and use the safe option. We go into our shells and want to save the game rather than win it. That said, our connection going inside 50 was atrocious all day. Gave...

Re: 26 man squad
Strange time to drop Battle. Thought he was pretty good last week. Has been pretty average before that. Why drop him now?
Anyway, rapt they retained Connolly. Keen to see more of him.
Go Sainters

Re: What we did
I thought the style of footy we played was as promising as I've seen under Ratten. Hard, accountable footy. Worked in numbers. Didn't scoot ahead of the ball looking for free kicks. It was a workmanlike performance, which hasn't been a trait of ours under Ratten. Give me that performance over any of...

Re: Changes for this week
Looks like English will miss for them again. I think we really need to exploit their lack of ruck options with Martin out as well. So I'd be against Battle playing as a second ruckman. It pains me to say it but either McKernan or Hunter should come in for Row. Geary in for Lonie and get Gears to loc...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Suns Round 8 2021
Still feel that whilst Hunter Clark is seen as calm and composed with the ball, hes often way too slow when hes chasing the defender. Im not sure if its that he simply doesnt have the tank for it, or is not a fast runner, or just doesnt try? But his lack of speed is noticeable when he doesn't have ...

Total over emphasis on running forward of the ball. Only person willing to run both ways is our skipper.
