Good post.

I followed each of Peake's disposals in the 2nd half - did one hit a target/goals?
Very damaging player if he could turn this around.

His decision making has definitely improved, and his confidence. He backs himself now. I reckon he could handball about 50 meters too. +1 But unfortunately important games often are judged/decided by winning 1:1 contests in the D50. While I'll celebrate as much as the next guy when Raph/Gwilt sets ...

Is the question whether he controlled the ball before/after the boundary line?
Or is this another incident we're talking about?

What makes people think that will be inundated with news about the other 15-17 other clubs? 98% of forum are st kilda supporters we're not suddenly going to be posting about Tom Murphy's thumb injury. As hard as they try there's only so many sex scandals at st kilda to keep this forum humming along....

+1
Or if Harry O'Brien kicked 11 would probably be chairing the G20.

How many more scandals away are we until it actually becomes amusing?

I hate when i hear 'saints footy' in the media Why, surely this is the idea behind it, coaches and players use it and now the media use it, it is also our membership slogan, its like advertising our brand for us. Saints footy is everywhere. Brilliant concept, well executed IMO. +1 Use to cringe whe...

If the club make a rule though that ONLY the designated reserve seat holders sit in a certain area, and ppl buy those tix on the pretext that there will ONLY be saints supporters in their area, well how can you argue against that? Poor effort IMO..and if that had been an Etihad home game, Id have n...

not in play

There's no weight attached to in/out of play any more. It probably just makes it easier to establish that it was intentional/reckless/negligent etc.

But having said that I'd LOVE to play them in a Prelim or GF.

As long as it doesn't involve a flight to perth.

I must admit I've tried googling Vertex while at the game to figure out who they were, couldn't find any information.

It's kind of funny that Collingwood have high altitude rooms, and we have a caravan :lol: +1 But seriously it really is fantastic to see sponsors have impact like this on the club beyond simply buying a few seats to overpriced functions etc. It has a much greater effect on my attitude towards the c...

Decent chant from the st kilda supporters during his on the ground interview.

Only a lazy $2500 per member if Mr Magic's budgeted estimate is accurate - who's ready to pledge?

He's relatively quick, finds space well - but I find that his finishing is suspect when it comes to kicking to a forward target or towards goal. I reckon he would have scored about 2.10 this year if you include out-of-bounds etc.

Easiest steam to find is on fox sports. Honestly if u really want to watch it that much and u can't get to all the games then invest the money and get fox. Illegal streams should be shut down! It's a joke and is blatant stealing. Fox has paid for their product and should not have to put up with tha...

I know it’s not much, and it relies on Roo coming back fit, in form, and not having any set backs, but in the circumstances it may work out in our favour that the Cats don’t get a “sighterâ€

I might get flamed for this however younger females are smarter than what they let on. Men (in general) are dumb as dogshit and the younger 'facebook/myspace photo posing scrags' know what they are doing. Who knows where this is going however I am going to back the club and the players involved unt...

Raph had a hand in both goals (to st kilda).

Impressive fantasy scores for Nick Heyne and Zac Dawson...

He's still very defensive at the post-match pressers - he'll make it very clear when he doesn't like the premise of the question. I'm not convinced he (or the club's media people) have worked out the best way of responding to any gamestyle/free-flowing questions by the media. Especially in the pre-s...

Anything but the booing from years past...I think more people are wising up to the merits of keepings off. Couldn't believe it when you had large proportion of saints 'supporters' booing their own team after they had managed to grab the 4 points.

Agreed with the OP, but you are ignoring Dawson's disposal skill level when he was in the F-50, he was lucky to get a wobbling kick to Milne and that was about it for his performance.
But it's probably his first time up there for a decent stretch - can only hope he improves as a forward option.
