And Bulldogs were 43-6 against us at QT. I like this week better.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
What's the point of all of this? We had a great ANZAC Day ceremony before the Pies vs the Bombers yesterday.
ANZAC day is over. If AFL were played over Xmas-New Year, would Santa show up before the game on Boxing Day?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
So the players have been out on the field for more than 5 minutes, and it's still 10 minutes until the scheduled kick-off time So should I assume we've got a whole lot of ANZAC day stuff to get through?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 7 2024
Most seem reassigned to a loss Hard to know what an acceptable result would be. Am not loving the fact the Caminati is playing hurt. It’s been suggested Howard plays forward too which makes me feel we’re way too tall. With Byrnes in poor form… feel like we’re a mid down too. Seems like less than 30...

Re: Careers at StK ruined
Anyway, AFL is a sport that produces lots of injuries. Also, the Docklands Stadium was pretty s__t until the mid-2010s, causing lots of soft tissue injuries for players in all the clubs who played there regularly.

Re: Team v Port
BM is absolutely correct. 2000-03 was the most comprehensive rebuild by any club in the history of the AFL. All other clubs looked on with envy and many fans complained that we had been given a massively unfair deal in terms of the draft picks we received. Some of the players we recruited in that pe...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing
And I must be mad, but I reckon Phillipou is developing ok. IMO he’s shown quite a bit more this season than last. He’s starting to find and seriously play his position at HF. Lots of second rate players can take speccy marks. I don’t care about them. I want to see a player like Phillipou right in t...

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing

Re: Charlie Cameron suspended stiff to not get the StKilda tax
The Tribunal appears to have gone out of its way to make things difficult for the AFL. Fair enough, overturn the decision on the basis of Cameron’s record. He has always struck me as being a clean player: goes for the ball, doesn’t snipe. I know the AFL doesn’t seem to want to bring players’ past re...

Re: Team vs Dogs
It seems to me that the sub could be one of Jones or Garcia. I doubt that it would be Butler: having a goal sneak as sub seems pointless to me. If the coach isn't happy with him, then don't pick him at all. I suppose it could also possibly be Sharman, but that also seems to be a bit pointless. Posit...

Re: Could we get a selection surprise this week?
As I’ve said before, thank goodness fans don’t pick the side. Thursday’s game is close to being a must win for us and we have fans calling for the selection of unproven and (from what I’ve seen of them) unexciting first year players. Garcia looked like he might be something in the pre-season practic...

Re: Evolving
The 20th side will come from an AFL State, so either SA or WA, probably SA where the code is being promoted with the Gather Round I doubt a twentieth team would come from SA. The population of WA is now 1.5 times that of SA and pulling further away all the time. I would wager that, now GWS seems to...

Re: Evolving
I reckon Goddard has already had an impact on our midfield. It’s looking quite a bit better than it did last year. We are looking better at the clearances and he’s gotten improvement out of Windhager and Phillipou.

Re: Moving the magnets
I’d like us to keep playing our players in the roles in which we believe they might perform the best. For King that’s FF. For Battle and Howard that’s down back. For Philippou that’s midfield to half-forward, where he went very well against the Bombers and quite well against the Tigers. He was relat...

Re: Evolving
Thank goodness fans don’t select teams. In my recollection, Battle played in the ruck against Mumford (?)when Marshall went 9ff in a game against GWS. He struggled mightily but isn’t anywhere near tall enough. Apparently Garcia is now one of the first picked on the basis of an (admittedly good) game...
