You went to training before Walsh left I assume. I spent the first two weeks observing. Walsh was running the rehab sessions. No doubt about it.B.M wrote: ↑Wed 31 May 2023 11:05pm Another misnomer in footy

As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Our midfield was just smashed.
Literally every one of their midfielders had 25+ disposals
Moore -31
Newcombe -31
Day - 30
Nash -27
Impey 26
Worpel 24
Our midfield
Steele -14
Ross -16
Byrnes - 17
Gresh -15
Sinclair -18
Wood 18
Basically we just don't get enough ball.
Gotta look little deeper than overal numbers it’s like free kicks…often end up even at end of the game ….but those numbers don’t tell you that 1 side got 6 inside fwd 50 abs the other got their “evener uppers” in the back half with 5 mins to go when the game is over…
“Yeah….nah””

Re: Interesting stat on SEN
It appears clearances are useless when they result in turnovers. Sicily loves a good St.Kilda clearance as much as he loves an inside 50.Teflon wrote: ↑Wed 31 May 2023 11:41pmJacks Back wrote: ↑Wed 31 May 2023 11:37pmClearances

Re: Interesting stat on SEN
The key here is the quality of the ball and where it went. The vast majority of our clearances were blind kicks resulting in turnovers, while Hawthorn extracted by hand, drawing players and giving the easy one over the top, utilizing the spread.Jacks Back wrote: ↑Wed 31 May 2023 11:37pmClearances

Interestingly, St Kilda's 4 centre clearances that went out the attacking end of the square, resulted in St Kilda scores.

The problem is Gresham’s ego, he actually really, really rates himself!!Ghost Like wrote: ↑Wed 31 May 2023 9:28pm I wish Gresham was half as good & half as invested as Papley is with his ability & intensity.

Well tickle me pink.
He’s a dud and a half.
Problem being, who is there to replace him? We’re stuck with him until we get a quality tall.
I’d rather that and be crap (even worse) for a few years than gift players season after season. Howard was ok in the Covid year, seemingly more mobile too. Now he can’t get out of his own way, can’t keep up with opposition forwards and if he does, is comfortably outmuscled a lot of the time. What does he actually bring to the table?

Our opponents have clearly identified that if you back in your forwards and isolate him, then the forwards will win the one-on-one 9 out of 10 times. For the most part, Howard will spend more time berating his teammates than marking his opponent while they take a set shot.
Howard is a liability in his current role and the club needs to trade for a quality backman, as Wilkie is not a fullback and Battle is an okay 2nd or 3rd tall, but not a fullback.
