All of this arguing is a total waste of time.
Does it really matter which coach developed which player? The fact is that while GT was coach, once our team got off the bottom, they played long, direct and exciting football. Irrespective of the result, when St.kilda played, their aim was to kick more goals than their opposition, apart from a couple of games which we are all aware of.
Look at our style now....it is terrible. I've only been to 1 game so far this year and I will not be going to any others. I saw the Carlton game which has been our best win so far. I remember early in the 1st quarter we had 17 of our 18 players in our defensive 50 metre arc. I think the only player not in there was Gehrig. He was in the square on the defensive side of the centre. Mind you, this was early in the first quarter.
I don't want St.kilda to play like that. I don't care whether we won the match. That is a crap style of football...it's boring, it's just plain stupid. This is not how you develop a premiership team. What's the point of Jason Gram winning the ball in the back pocket? When he looks up and takes a couple of bounces he then realises that no one is forward of the centre so he has to kick the ball long and to the boundary.
Is that the style or game plan you want to see? It's not what I want to see that's for sure. I want to see our half back line win the ball one on one then Gram streams out with 3 bounces handballs to Goddard who then pin points a long 55 metre pass to Montagna. He then plays on with a long kick to the square where Reiwoldt is surrounded by 3 defenders who do really well to spoil but the crumbs are brilliantly gathered by Schnieder who snaps truly off his wrong foot for a goal.
That's the type of footy I want to see. Not this stupid Sydney s*** that we have been playing now for 1 year and 4 rounds. The commentators call it accountable footy but I call it CRAP.
Anyone out there that agrees with me? Please discuss!!

That was not Demetriou, that was me speaking from the heart, but you don't believe me do you Grumpy? You think I'm just a troll don't you?

I for one agree with Nexxus.
The paul roos style was suitable for a specific point in time and space. Applying it to our list is driving us further and further down the ladder. It's sapping player passion, their drive, energy and ferocity. Our players are just going through the motions because they are so disillusioned in the gameplan.
2 biggest bogey sides in the next 2 weeks.
Vote 1 Nexxus.

whether you agree or disagree with nexuss for 8 years he's been predicting the demise of st kilda and everyone on of its failures, while glossing over the brief and minor success.
No we aren't happy that we haven't got 1 or more premierships.
you however feast on misery.

The football we are playing is ordinary bordering on shocking at times. The proof is in our poor membership, attendances and vocal support at games. A few years ago we played hard, attacking footy and outnumbered opposition supporters easily. Now we see a team, that on paper, should be performing better than those of previous seasons but struggles with the demands of a change in gameplan. Something has to change and quick or 2008 will be a carbon copy of 2007.

Okay, so a few of you hate the messenger, but really, can you honestly say you are thrilled with the style of play in the past 14 months?
I have never been so bored at the football as I have in recent times, and that's unfortunate when I see 22 talented and capable footballers run onto the field each week.
I just see what I see, and none of it raises my pulse or adrenaline levels.
