Armo's attempted "bump" on Hille.
Was anyone else pulling their hair out when they saw this?
As hard as he can be, that was as soft an effort as I've seen.
One of the most frustrating things for me is when someone attempts to bump when they could easily tackle.
And if you go for the bump, at least make some kind of contact.

Was such a disappointing effort. Everyone I was sitting near let out a shameful sigh when it happened.
I know there is a big size difference between the two of them but you still have to try and lay a tackle.
It will be addressed in front of the playing group and Armo will be pretty embarrassed by it I imagine. Hopefully he learns from it.

I always find it pretty funny when they talk about Byron Pickett/Gary Ablett as being tough as nails because of some of the bumps they delivered.
Bumping is taking the easy way out. Takes more courage to cop the full force in the middle of your chest than tucking your elbow in and launching yourself at the man.
Thing that I found most disappointing is that I thought Armo was the type of footballer to relish that sort of contest, after all he is nothing if not tough, but for some reason he just wasn't up for it yesterday.

Is this what we are up to now. Questioning a players courage. hahaha you guys are awesome. What did you want him to do to Mcveigh, wait till he picked it up and then ask him to fall over. Are you guys serious. You obviously arn't saints supporters because Mcveigh got pinned for jumping in on Dal Santos head and we got a goal out of it.
yeah dave a Mcq you guys are s*** for giving away a high tackle and us getting a goal out of it.
If they didn't go that hard I bet you punces would be questioning him then.As for Hill, I guess being wrong footed doesn't count for much.
I wander who else is in the leading tacklers for Saints.
I really hope Dave pays no atttention to some of you expert footballers or maybe he should. You guys seem to be able to do better.

The critisism says alot more about the supporter and their lack of self esteem (so tied up with thier team they question a player like Armo's courage FFS ) than it does about the player.
I hope NONE of the players come on here after the cowardly garbage posted on here by supposed supporters.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

Um if it was head high, why wasn't it a free kick??? Also Mcveigh was also going for the ballsunsaint wrote:is that tongue in cheek?clarky449 wrote:Did you see the hit on Mcveigh though, that was tough
Mcveigh was head over the ball and got collected head high by Armo and McQualter(?) front on, then Mcveigh gets pinged.

A midfielder getting wrong-footed by a 7 foot tall lumbering ruckman with the turning circle of the Queen Mary and who's only recently back from a serious knee injury? Armitage is better than that.DWOODROW wrote:Is this what we are up to now. Questioning a players courage. hahaha you guys are awesome.

It was a mistake - a bad one - that's what it was.
Don't mind him.Beno88 wrote:Good call from someone with a picture of a former StKilda player with 'liar' written on it attached to every post they make.
He throws his toys out the pram as soon as a player is criticised... like criticism of a professional athlete is some kind of new phenomenon sweeping the world.
It's kind of sweet, when you think about it.

Well I'd like to question some other peoples soft attempts at tackling or even soft attempts at putting a players soft attempt in the spotlight.Beej wrote:A midfielder getting wrong-footed by a 7 foot tall lumbering ruckman with the turning circle of the Queen Mary and who's only recently back from a serious knee injury?

Does it even bother you when we lose?

That was one instance from him and the first that I've seen since he joined the club where the hardness that he obviously has wasn't on display.SainterK wrote:I actually think Armo is one of our more aggressive players, I wouldn't question his courage at all.
He made a mistake, I'd back him that he wouldn't make it again.
As I said above, Armo is nothing if not tough. He's as tough as they come, but that effort on Sunday was soft.

Are you serious you clown. You are having a go at a young players courage and opening it up to a public discussion to emphasise it.Beej wrote:Does it even bother you when we lose?

Where you there when David went in with his head over the ball got knocked out and had to have his ear repaired and re-attached by a plastic surgeon. Where you there when a 110 kg monster elbowed him straight in the head and knocked him senseless.
If I didn't care whether Saint Kilda lost or won then why would I bother to get onto this site to listen to people like you. I actually Barrack for North Melbourne but because I have an interest in someone close to me I'm now not worthy of commenting on this forum. Good one
I'll back David to the end especially from people like you who start posts on his courage.
To be honest I'm not even sure why there are so many posts about David.
Why don't you find something useful to talk about like the lack of depth in the saint Kilda team at the moment and some of the players that are playing like they are in Under 17's.
If you'd like to discuss it further them PM me otherwise how about supporting your team and the PLAYERS that play for SAINT KILDA.
Absolutely Pathetic
