what? and that all-white away jumper is better?

....a knowledgeable and thoughtful response from it seems someone inside the club. as ROSSIE stated only time will tell whether in hindsight we went the right way with this admitted recycled player focus this year. i am personally pleased to consolidate our highly competitive tilt at the premiership...

i see ARMO a straight swap for BALL. and LOVETT is a shoe-in for whoever.....don't matter (re Dempster as per G.F team) i like GEARY and MCEVOY (and even MILES/STEVEN) to be getting game time and suitable replacements for any injuries (esp. KING been 'sus') but will they be there in SEPTEMBER???? i ...

great call gain ROSS. let's free up this list and blood and groom the likes of STEVEN ARMO, MCEVOY, maybe MILES. all delists have gone as expected bar BALL of course. only other surprise is that by now i take it that KINGY is going around again? is that official? thought he may retire this year........

is it just me but i did expect a stronger delist list like last year? are L. FISHER and B.HOWARD and J.GWILT lucky? if they could not earn spots in last year then....? and are all these rookies from last, deserving of another go? seems unusual? is this a sign there is not much in this years draft to...

we chased O'KEEFE (SYD.) last draft. maybe, try again?
in the end, we purposely chose LYNCH with our first pick and are looking to him to fill that role,as he is clearly a true leading HALF-FORWARD.
he has physical presence of a man to play many games next year. i wonder about his fitness though?

i hear you all about the worry of GRAM on CHAPMAN but who else is available. does BAKES have the height and GRAM the legspeed on VAROCE/STOKES if that's the case? how many GILBERTS can we have in our team? we shouldn't concern ourselves as CATS have bigger task with who to match-up on MILNEY and SCH...

here are the drooling match-ups: B> STK: BAKER DAWSON GILBERT GEEL: VARCOE HAWKINS JOHNSON HB> STK: FISHER BLAKE GRAM GEEL: ROOKE (tag) MOONEY CHAPMAN C> STK: RAY HAYES MONTAGNA GEEL: COREY LING (tag) BARTEL HF> STK: MCQUALTER (tag) RIEWOLDT GODDARD GEEL: MACKIE TAYLOR ENRIGHT F> STK: MILNE KOSCHITZ...

then that's so wrongly reported in todays HERALD SUN, it's not funny!

am i right in seeing that the EDDY listed below is our R.EDDY (from 1st eleven) and he got extra match practice as requested by the conditioning staff and he performed and kicked 6-goals! if that's the case, it will be hard to see DEMPSTER to take his place, given his role as lead-up/defensive forwa...

MATCH-COMMITTEE MEETING Attendees: ROSS, SOS, ELSHAUG, TUDOR, MISSON, CAPTAIN NICK?..and scribe (MILNEY? lol) 1. HOW MANY AND WHO DO WE TAG? e.g. CLINT JONES, also is DEMPSTER fit and room for him for this reason as SECOND TAG? 2. WHO DO WE APPLY FORWARD TAG TO AND BY WHOM? e.g. MINI and how do we k...

agree................... must still be required by medical team to wear glove for split webbing! so, agree, should do a LYNCH and 9JACK) ANTHONY take the glove off for kicking. certainly be something you'd want to be sure about which way to go in these final few training lead-ups. scoreboard pressur...

can u give me an insight into your spot-on match committee meetings thoughts please ROSS?assuming DOGGIES win.
i'm having lost sleep trying to put my backline together.
small and quick they are.
wondering who will play on who?

watched replay of MELB. game last night and noticed MELB. damaged us out wide early in game and broke thru without ever hitting our zone. we were protecting corridor only and not spread wider. is this a concern? given COLL. is taunted as the team who goes wider than most and have some leg -speed to ...

i agree. certainly seems like only these changes to our team given ROSS'S comments this week in the press. and remembering how he also said the absence of BALL'S grunt in the middle last year was crucial to our finals campaign. reading also seems to indicate GARDINER is not fully fit and we won't ri...

do you think they will be making any more changes at this stage? the preferred 22 were on the park yesterday! only horses 4 courses will bring about a change (barring injury) with MAX in. but can't see a role for him specially against Pies?!

NO CHANGE is good

come finals, a plan B is necessary and may make the difference between going all the way. i hate to say it but we may need to reshuffle the team due to early injury, poor form..... 1. IS KOSI READY TO GO IN THE RUCK? 2. CAN GILBO/DEMPSTER PROVIDE A LEADING FORWARD TARGET? 3. SHALL DAL(& MONTY FO...

did you see the latest injury list?
2-3 weeks, if i remember right?

"Oh, When The Saints"........... great win and let's put it into perspective. do you really think we have improved in all these above areas on last year? that's what the media (Bucks last night & Herald Sun today) feel are crucial to our stepping-up and premiership contender chances? h...

St Kilda - Steven Gaertner (Dandenong Stingrays), Brad Howard (St Kilda), Sam Iles (Collingwood), Halen Kay (Gippsland Power), Luke Stanton (Northern Knights), Tommy Walsh (County Kerry, Ireland) so of this list we don't have any real guidance if they are going to be picked or not. though HOWARD see...

thanks ace,
that's ace u know so much!
and looking like a more ace list, too, isn't it?

i would be even more ecstatic if we load up on some quick mids but........

hmmm...me a little confused.

is someone in a position to post our full list to date?

would be nice for all of us to then pick our starting 22, given injuries..etc

thanks

just read in another post that ths ex-MAGPIE is down training at moorabin?

anyone have a pic, stats and more importantly a feel for what he could add to us considering he's been invited down for some reason?

some run, maybe?
