Yep dead in the track...waiting for the screen to be placed round the horse.
I think you have a touch of sunstoke Devilhead

So that narrows it down to the forward line as our major weakness?? Definately I still think one of our major problems is midfield pressure from rebounding out of our forward 50, not so much the forward line itself. Our onballers are very good at stoppages the stats and games show that. Where we ge...

the stat that matter are not published
#burst leg speed Stkilda Vs opposition
#total distance ran vs walking
#meters covered while flat out running to create turnover through interception or tackle (instead of trotting 5m off your opponent)

Life's pretty good really...what would that make it 15 minutes goal kicking practice all up? Total training of 45min?
I hear Neil Craig is thrashing them at the moment...!

Give me a team of Clint Jones' and I will beat your team of NDS' each AND every time.
every poster here that claimed he should never wear the red white and black should have a tattoo accross their foreheads.

For the record Geary was NOT on acker all day, RL tried everyone
And I wonder if it is the same people who are crying about poor "kid" Geary on acker are the same people who are screaming for play McEvoy, play the kids...?

RIP '08
sorry Harvs. I tried my best.

Aussie Jones is ripping into Roo on abc radio at the moment
Mentally shot and beyond a joke.
Someone calling it like it is...

Cant believe people give Birss such a hard time, he is our "only" goal kicking midfield/tagger.

I dropped austar this year because we know get more footy than we ever did under Nine in Qld. When pay tv axed the dedicated AFL channel it was a decision swamped with lunacy. Lat week against the Dees, the Saints game was replayed at midnight on Sunday. Hoping the same will happen again this week :...

The other advantge with Birss is his offensive side, he can kick goals, so it will give Acker something negative to consider about his own game.
The other ace we now have is the human tackle magnet, CJ
Go Jones, prove "them" wrong.

the fundamental difference between the two is that the blocker came off worse than the blockee.
still doesnt change the fact that Bakes was sold up the river...

Back on 18 April ACE wrote Some coaches are fools. I remember one coach who kept playing Guerra on a half forward flank all the time. He was not a success on the half forward flank so obviously can't play. He goes to Hawthorn they try him on the backline. He proves he can play, it was his previous ...

On Fox just now, BJ held the ball above his head with 4.31 to go of actual game time - from mine that is waaaaaay too early when you're 70 odd points up. Even a close game, way too early. As the commentary said, why on earth would we do it? Just to bring us fans back down for the last few minutes m...

I shudder every time a StKilda player holds the ball above his head to indicate lockdown.
It guarantees an opposition goal everytime.

My only concern really is that our backline line looks tall and lumbering. We need one more smaller fast player (eg Richmonds' King) to tackle the likes of Wonamerri(sp?) Maybe C Jones could have a crack. Very glad that Davey is out, we dont really have anyone capable of holding the likes of him. C ...

While trying not to be so harsh as the OP
I think the question should be, does Nick play for himself or the team?
If he was injured on Sunday and thought he could not make the distance 20mt out and directly in front, maybe he should have dished it off.

didnt he limp off a few time last week with a corkie ? i dont think hell play yeah it forced him off the ground, but the Hawks were on top by that stage so no loss to the side. Still a corky can go either way, depends on the severity, and quality of physio dept...hope it is the quad on his drive le...

In a word Oooh yes
He will be a perfect replacement for a retiring Harvs, while Armo gets another year under his belt.
He might even teach NDS a thing or two
I would appoint M Gardiner as his re-location minder.

Kosi would be up there with Brown. Brown's contract is up this year and his last negotiations were back in a time that BL players made pacts to keep the core group of "Threepete" players together. I would consider his previous contract to be "cheap" in comparison to his last thre...

yep definitely the filth
I hear the dept is called C.O.C.K
Collingwood Office of Complaining Kibosh
E Maguire & M Malthouse lead the steering committee

In the first quarter we were competing well at ground level in the packs, yes they missed some shots (but that was the other end to me at the time) BUT the miss by Roo seemed to have an effect that swept the team. The second quarter was completely different, we still won the ball in close, but as so...

firstly as bad as it looked on TV it was worse at the ground. You could see things unfold with a sad inevitability that the Lions were going to thump us. It started with Roos miss in the first 1/4 it was the easiest of kicks, and how he shanked it is beyond me. For a player of his calibre and pay ch...

Sorry folks .. not for the comments .. but meant to post this as a new subject...dopey dopey me
