the slow lazy Saints have turned up again
Would like to see our captain stand up and play a captains game.

I love these arguments.... :? Yes Blake has been dropped this week, but no one here knows the reason for the decision. And to those posters that are crowing about the decision, it clearly flies in the face of the opinion of those who are paid big bucks at the club, several coaches, and years of game...

if we can win the turnovers, it will be a matter of kicking to an ungaurded player in the goal square. used to hear the same thing about lockett as he got older and less mobile, particularly during his time at the swans. "you can run off him etc, etc," was the argument. but teams often fo...

I can remember Thomas praising Gehrig for his ability to play through pain. Pity a few supporters dont give him due praise & cut him the same slack. He has been the most influential forward at StKilda since Lockett. And still has heaps to offer the club Pity a few supporters here dont cut him s...

I just have to say that Rix might try hard and do his best but he is not up to afl standad and never will be,just because you are six foot 7 and built like a brick out house does not mean you can play!!!. I do understand that we have two injury prone ruck man and we do need a back up but Rix is not...

No one said he was racking up the stats, but what exactly do you expect from him? He's just a dumb footballer. he let his man continually run free. He doesn't drop back into defence to help his defence, he doesn't run forward to help his forwards. I can't remember one hitout out of the centre to th...

Sadly the last one I can remember was Mr Magic Winmar

Agreed SRr
Rix was never going to beat the best ruck duo in the comp at the moment.
And most dont want to see his defensive work without the ball.
McEvoy is not Luenberger, and if he WAS better than Rix then RL and the match committee would have selected him.

Can the moronic St Kilda fans among us, (yes there are a lot, but you all know who you are) STOP calling for Dal Santo to play for Casey. Is that not the stupidest, most ill-informed statement or view to make. Why don't we just do the opposition a favor. Preventing them from having to worry about s...

People, we have to lay off blaming the bottom end of our list when NDS has only managed 4 possessions for half a game of football.

TO be honest I am slightly amused by the amount of emphasis being placed on our inclusions.
Rix and Birss only have to be serviceable to be worthy of their selection.
On the other hand IF NDS kicks two goals, gets 25+ possessions, 10 hardballs and 5 tackles, we will win. Simple.

Clint Jones - and stay out. Players who cannot use the footy aren't wanted. Michael Rix - possibly his last game if he does nothing. One last go... Shane Birss - must step up. Not the worst changes. While I dont have a problem with Birss as an inclusion, I think Jones is stiff, given that he has pl...

I don't think the Port game is the right game to blood McEvoy... Let the kid develop and gain confidence in the VFL. Bring in Rixy. Tell him to go wherever Lade goes - don't worry about finding it himself, and just stop Lade from being the link man. Swing Kosi into the ruck when Brogan goes in ther...

I thought Dempster played well against the Dons. Rix has been named emergency for most games this year so he will play for King.
WELCOME BACK BAKER!!!

Go Saints we're back in the Black (and red and white)

LENNY LEADS THE WAY wrote:Gardiner 2 games 2 wins gardiner out for 2 games and we have 2 loses coincidence i think not

The two wins were: Swans with no ruckman and carlton?
The two loses were: ran off our feet by the fast dogs, and out classed by the cats
MG would have not been the difference

Yes
but the question should be what is the worth of a 3 gamer in Harry Taylor who ran with and matched Roo.

NEVER
Take X Clarke on Saturday, the Umpires cant discern if it is the ground or collision that caused the concusssion.
If they bring red cards in, I will be high in the southern stand with a sniper rifle, the flouro colours will make a nice target.

I dont care if Gehrig gets pushed out to the goal square in a wheelchair. The oppositon needs to find three big talls to cover us. And Gehrigs' worth can be summed up in one easy question. As in the cats game, who in our side do you want to have the ball on the 50mt after the siren for the last kick...

In the past I have been yelled down for saying NDS was lazy, and an outside receiver who should be kicking more goals. Oh how the tide has turned It amazes me how some players are protected species on this board and in the media while personally I will go into bat for any player that may not have th...

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh yes all teams lose games in season, yes geelong lost a few early games. But we are not geelong, & no we're not sydney, we are StKilda. And with that comes all the foibles that our history as a club holds. I have seen elements of laziness creep into our game. And it p...

I cant believe the amount of time wasted on this "move Roo to CHB"
It is just plain wrong to move one of the best CHF's out of that position.
If you were going to move anyone it would be Kosi.

But LB, people are complaining on this thread about how "Dal" needs to go in a get the hardball but they can't seem to understand that you need players around the outside of a pack to receive the ball. I did meation this pages ago on this thread but no one seems to listen. NDS girl, no on...
