In terms of analysis of the List, conclusions include that Webster is 29, with Coffield and Clark currently injured

Just for starters

You really do read some rubbish on this site

Clark and Coffield will significantly improve this side because they are both highest class young footballers- both about the 60 game mark (noting both have endured injuries - Coffield from his breakout first quarter v Fremantle at Docklands)

There are many occasions I disagree with BM

But his opinion on Hannebery I do agree with

Much outside noise is made re the quality of our midfield

Our midfield is quite reasonable and Hannebery will further improve it

Jo has wide experience in this space, resulting in the position she has recently assumed courtesy of her workplace history

The extension is that any criticism of Brett is misplaced and badly misplaced.

And that whoever it is kicked 2 goals The work done by those who run the flanks closing down options and which does not appear in stats is a case in point. On Sunday this relentless running from defence to attack by the likes of Number 7 and Number 8 but not reflected in disposals was vital to the e...

It is my opinion that the journalist quoted has no knowledge of the St Kilda Football Club - and, worse, lifts his opinion from the uneducated comments we see on this site from certain so called supporters of the Club

There are racists among us

Such is Australia

Elections are also won federally by playing the race card in Australia - and pre selection contests

What a difference a win makes At three quarter time the comment among us was “how are we within 2 goals, because Richmond were finding space and supports and looking dangerous plus they have size against us” But Ryder kept doing it, taking the mids with him And we started to find the space and run, ...

Injuries play a part Care to list our unavailable players commencing from the Final against Richmond in 2020? Remember also we recruited from State leagues to address on a temporary basis the demographic flaw in our List This was to address experience depth on our List Whilst we now have youth with ...

Round 21, 2021

St Kilda. 14.9
Sydney. 10.4

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance

And Kent kicked 3

I note that the (usual) rubbish peddled on this site re Hannebery omits any reference to the remarks of the Senior Coach on this subject.

Me?

I concur with the remarks of the Senior Coach.

All Clubs, with the benefit of hind sight, can be criticised Drafting is not an exact science St Kilda drafted Riewoldt and Ball, both of whom failed to play a game in their first years - so was there criticism then? Or of Ball, who by any measure was not at the same levels as Judd and Hodge, both J...

In terms of experience the current St Kilda List is lead by Ryder on 269 games, then Hannebery on 223 then Geary on 207, Hill on 190, Ross on 160 and Billings on 144 The game numbers are as of the start of the season In all, at seasons start, we had 12 players who had passed the 100 game milestone S...

Off the stats alone Allison had 16 disposals - 12 kicks and 4 handballs plus 4 marks

So at the least touched the ball more than the majority

So what did he do with those 16 touches?

So how many AFL Listed players on the park for Sandringham?

Given you are only as strong as your weakest

And this feeds up to the side and n WA

With all due respect, Frawley, McKernan and Hunter were one season (cheap) back ups for the structural deficiency in our List and were never the future of the Club Absent injuries they played VFL, exclusively Unfortunately we incurred injuries Clavarino was very poor below his knees, Lonie was given...

Just to add, we have recruited the following over the recent seasons Jones, Crouch, Hill, Steele, Hannebery, Butler, Ryder, Howard, Higgins, Kent, Membrey, Lienert, Wood and Campbell. Some of those, being particularly Kent, Lienert, Wood and Campbell, are depth players. From Drafting we have added t...

For all the noise on here, in my view the reason we lost 2 Grand Finals over 2 years (so our bottom 6 and the non promotion of Drafted players to start their careers alongside the cream of those sides instead recruiting who we recruited from bottom sides) to wooden spoon in a matter of only a couple...

The question is why do those who contribute to this site present as supporters of St Kilda? Surely they should be following other sides Melbourne, because it has been a serial underperforming side whilst St Kilda were competing in Grand Finals, have had a series of high Draft picks They don’t only h...

MB I disagree with your opinions On all matters you provide your opinion on The reason St Kilda had the Number 1 Draft Pick was that we were the bottom side in the 18 team competition McCartin came into a very, very poor side, as a key forward His undoubted ability was on show v Hawthorn in Tasmania...

The McCartin/Petracca “debate” is tiresome Simply McCartin was a key forward Petracca was a mid fielder Where would McCartin be today free of injury? We may now get some idea as he runs around in Sydney colours Noting he is now playing in defence Petracca took time to establish at AFL level And post...

Zac’s concerns are an existing medical condition It has resulted in him losing 5kg and recovery is indefinite The condition is not life threatening He is receiving appropriate medical support plus the support of his partner, his family and the Club As supporters of St Kilda, we should all be wishing...

You are all on the wrong track - and totally on the wrong track. I am (most obviously) not in a position to breach confidences except to convey that Zac is very ill with a pre existing condition and has lost considerable weight. His absence is indefinite. We wish him well with a recovery - and a ret...
