2001

We picked Ball at 2, Judd went at 3.
We picked Clarke at 5, Bartel went at 8.

Ball and Clarke are now gone.
Judd and Bartel each have a brownlow and a premiership (or two).

Hindsight is a frustrating thing.

I would be in terested to see a breakdown of player by player frees for.

Sorry, I can't help with that one. I've searched everywhere.

Frees Against. S.King 11 S.Milne 11 Z.Dawson 10 S.Baker 8 L.Hayes 8 S.Gilbert 8 L.Montagna 8 M.Gardiner 6 J.Gwilt 6 J.Geary 5 D.Armitage 5 A.Schneider 5 S.Fisher 5 J.Koschitzke 4 J.Blake 4 B.Goddard 4 R.Clarke 3 B.Peake 3 C.Jones 3 N.Riewoldt 3 B.McEvoy 2 F.Ray 2 N.Dal Santo 2 A.Pattison 1 J.Steven ...

St.Kilda average 6 more free kicks against per game. The next closest is Hawthorn at 4.8. St.Kilda have had 15 free shots for 10 goals. The opposition has had 29 shots for their 18 goals. Against North Melbourne, Collingwood, Port Adelaide and Western Bulldogs, more than 30% of the opposition's goal...

2010.

Frees For : 94 (ranked 15th)

Goals Against From Frees : 18 (out of 50) (2nd)
Difference : 8 (2nd)

How is it a stupid suggestion as opposed to just a suggestion? We have a medium-tall running defender coming back, so a medium-tall defender makes way for him. Against a side that has several small forwards. Gilbert, Dawson, Blake, Baker, Ray or Fisher aren't going to make way for Gram. Raph is firs...

I would bring Gram in for Clarke not Steven

+1

+1 more

I'd prefer Giansnipercusa to have broken ribs 5 minutes into the game rather than before it.

What about the Tuesday public holiday?

If/When we have our 15 wins and have our tpo 4 spot sewn up. Any thought of it before that is getting ahead of ourselves !!

It'd wanna be a top two spot sewn up with Brisbane, Sydney and Fremantle all pushing for top four spots. Don't wanna travel first week of the finals.

I'm actually interested to hear what all these Zac-attackers expect from him? He beat McPhee comfortably in the first quarter and a half, was then moved forward, had three goal assists and could have snagged a couple himself if he was luckier. Everytime he touched the ball in the forward half it was...

Haha!! Very clever!!

I guess Nick would have been lying on the Etihad Stadium turf last Friday night thinking of the obvious one "I'm Stranded".

Actually, if we're gonna talk about The Saints, then technically that isn't off-topic.

Fair enough, at least you know what you're talking about. I'd like to continue the conversation but we'll probably get told off for being off-topic.

I must say though, I've never heard Tim Rogers compared to Madonna, but I'd love to hear her do Berlin Chair. haha.

Slagging off Paul Kelly and Tex Perkins. Are you for real? You've obviously never seen them live. Wanna take a dig at Mark Seymour, Bernard Fanning and Tim Rogers while you're going?

You're right above Nick Cave though.

Zac's had more disposals, more marks, more spoils and conceded less goals that he did in the first three games last year, yet this time last year everyone was raving about him. Now, despite statistically improving, everyone is calling for his head. Makes no sense.

The way the papers are going Nick will be getting his leg amputated by the end of the week.

Spot on

Collingwood expect Sam Fisher to play... "Obviously Sam Fisher, an insider has got to us and we expect him to play tomorrow night as well, so they are going to be a pretty full-strength side.'' - Scott Pendlebury http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/presti-will-play-pendlebury/story-e6frf9jf-1...

We started as flag favourite because we have won 31 of our last 38 games.

We are still flag favourites because more money has been put St.Kilda to win the 2010 premiership than any other club.

It's the Preseason!!! Only muppets like Jake King and Setanta O'Halpin go to the extent of getting fired up in Feb-March. If I read one more bulls**t post about things we've done wrong in the NAB cup I'll spew! Our record was 3-1, we played all our games at home, picked up no long term injuries, bag...

Dempster. No brainer.

Gwilt next in line.

Good review. Just on King, I think he's harshly judged. His ruckwork in the middle is second to none. He gets clean hands on the ball about 80% of the time and usually hits a target with the tap. Seven shots on goal on Saturday night came directly from his ruckwork. First clean hands on the footy in...

I'm actually looking on here to see whether I should head in tonight, so can people please just post factual info rather than bigfooty tripe!
