You only need three or four speedsters in the team to break the lines. Look at Geelong. Their midield has Bartel, Corey, Ling and co. who have never been seen as super-quick. They are no quicker than the Saints, and they had a super season in 2007 True, you need some speed in your team, but just how...

In a pretty one-paced team, Jones is a valuable asset even though his kicking is third rate. Make no mistake, he is super-quick.

Replies: 43

Riewoldt had some cartilege problems when he started at St Kilda. Could it be that this has flared again? The Herald Sun reported last week that he had knee tendonitis, which as I mentioned in a previous post, is a bugger of a complaint - very painful, and reduces a player's ability to do a lot of r...

My wish list: Armitage to show something, and run out the game. Geary to show why he was elevated to the main list Gardiner and King to get though unscathed and have sufficient game time Howard to play, and use his superior pace to advantage Allen and Steven to play, just so we can get a look at them.

Also, I notice in the Herald Scum that Gram has a hip injury. Is this the same hip injury that troubled him for nearly all of last season?

Another worry, as he's in out top 4 most important players.

My understanding is that Riewoldt's knee soreness has been brewing since mid January. The positive is that it didn't flare up two weeks from the start of the season proper. We know he had a solid base up until January, so some rest now might see it settle down a little bit without adversely effectin...

Knee tendonitis is a bugger of a complaint - very painful, hard to shake off, and can really restrict the ability to do a lot of running during a game. We may be seeing Riewoldt playing out of the goal square a bit this year with Koschitske pushing up the ground. Riewoldt will have to be managed ver...

Don't be surprised if Riewoldt or Hudghton don't play.

I think they're being cautious with those two.

The thing I liked the most was that Greg Hutchison is also 'Senior Development Coach'.

No more Saints up-and-comers sitting on the pine for weeks on end. Nice work by Lyon and the board on that one.

Take Gehrig and Harvey out of the equation and replace them with 18 year olds and the average age would drop down to where Collingwood sits on the list.

No one here knows what the financial gains may be. They could be huge, and if that's the case, the club should go for it. We have only made a profit in recent years due to internal cost cutting, all this occurring during a successul period. The board has every right to investigate the option and cho...

Leigh Fisher was in our top three players up until round 14 this year. He's no speedster, but he's an honest hard worker who you know will give 100% in every single contest. Birss is wishy-washy and would need to improve about 20% to become a regular in our team. Not all players need to be superstar...
