Post: # 449123Post Dan Warna »

more 'defensive' footy?
more free flowing footy?
will we emply 'tag breakers' as discussed post WCE?
will we have an open F50? will we have an empty F50?
will we play the lose man or 2 in defence?
will we go man on man?
a return to free scoring games?
a replica of tis season with a few more winis than losses?

what do you think we'll see and what would you like to see?

I believe we will see St Kilda play a style of footy similar to the way we played against West Coast and Fremantle.

High pressure with a strong tackle rate and aggressive forward ball-movement.

With a better pre-season and higher fitness levels, and a re-structured forwardline, I reckon this style of footy will keep us in every game during the year ... I wouldn't expect us to ever lose by more than 3-4 goals.

On the flipside, I don't expect we will thump many teams ...

Basically, I reckon you will see a fitter and better drilled St Kilda outfit similar to the back half of 2007 take the field next year.


If this happens, I would reckon 13-14 wins is on the cards, but when you play that style it could be 20 wins or it could be 8.


They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.
