After Last week game were we were constantly out marked in the forward line why not play Row as a key forward, he came to us as a KPF and drop Cordy play Campbell as the ruck and give him 60% of ruck work Row 40% we could try it for the next week game. It would allow our mid size players Owens, Mat...

He is certainly a great player and was probably BOG but the media keep quoting his disposal stats to emphasise his excellence. However he takes all the kick-ins for opposition behinds which inflates his stats significantly. For example today he had 40 disposals which would have only been 29 without ...

Steele only 2 touches?? Phillipou, Steele, Membrey....all ineffective. Pretty good strategies by Voss so far. He was and is a clever bastard. Not to mention a much as it pains me...Blues have some flippin class players that when they lift have the raw talent to leave us standing 'Membrey one our be...

I can't see that he has made a significant contribution in any game this year, including the practice matches.

Surely Campbell would contribute more as both a 2nd ruck and around the ground.

How many did Daicos get??? Who was assigned to him?! Surely that’s who is dropped??? I struggled with that as well, but just maybe RL wanted to keep a few cards up his sleeve for later in the year Remember 10 of his recorded possessions were from kick-ins from our points scored. On that basis Crouc...

I listened to the game from o/s on the ABC. Is "Curly" Malthouse's secret ID?! I know a lot of posters on here have no time for him but for mine he's St Kilda tragic through to the bone. \\ I didn't hear Malhouse's comments but I have no doubt the Pies had the rub of the green from the um...

Frees 10 to 4 against the Saints to half time.

Hopefully the umps try to even it up a bit in 2nd half.

Paton has to learn not to kick into the man.

Twice it created scoring opportunities for Collingwood including a goal.

Maybe Gresham too from his scarce possessions.

Did not call him back

Very harsh!

Getting thrashed in the clearances.

So much for ruck dominance. Not there

The debate is more about the actual efficacy of Cordy in the structure. You are correct in that the role he’s playing is one of relief ruck and tall forward and that there’s no one else that fits the bill other than Campbell that could specifically do that. However… Cordy’s hit out returns so far 1...

And please stop spinning the ball as he comes in to shoot for goal which can't help his accuracy.

The media continue to pump Carlton up like last year.

Most tip them for top four again.

Only a small sample but I can't help noticing our improved shooting for goal this year. So often in recent years have our behinds outnumbered our goals in matches. This has been the reverse this year in all matches and our collective tally for the first four matches is 55 goals 34 behinds. The figu...

It’s always a little ego boost when the coaches votes mirror your own votes on Saintsational 😁 Likewise. Still dumbfounded how five people voting on Saintational omitted Sinclair from their votes and Banger9798 listed 10 players but excluded Sinclair. Unfortunately some of that anti Sinclair bias t...

The favourable treatment of some clubs and some players at the tribunal is a farce.

He no longer plays for our club, but we all observed how harshly the tribunal has treated Ben Long compared to others.

Jim someone, kicked 4 goals. Jim Wallis maybe? I think Bob Murray also debuted. Yeah, thanks mate. It was Jim Wallis. He was a ruckman from Quambatook and another Sainter whose career was cut short by a knee injury. Bob Murray was a Sandringham boy recruited as a forward who became one of our great...

It certainly didn't help us get a quick start last year.

We were slow out of the blocks in so many games last year, even early in the year when we were winning matches.

I think the opposition scored the first couple of goals in less than 2 minutes in our first 3 games from memory.

Owers is going very well. Has a player with only 11 game’s experience played better? Not sure. I can always remember Dad talking about Big Carl’s first game when he was BOG. Dad was a fan of The Shadow, can any older SS members recall how Carl went in his first season? Big Carl was amazing in his f...
