marginal call on kosi. kosi is providing more output than rhys stanley so keeps his spot on current form. but not by much. hell certainly need to maintain current form or improve or he might find himself out. marginal call.dcstkfc wrote:Bad call, Mark Le Cras will take the only all-Australian small forward spot this year- and Betts' pressure puts him ahead of Milney as well.Beej wrote:Bad call, premature call, don't be so quick to judge call.dcstkfc wrote:Sorry need a new one myself- Jason Blake is being found out in one-on-ones
Blake is better than your average defender in one-on-one situations. Defenders are also at the mercy of the accountability of the midfield.
Milne will be an All-Australian this year. Good call, bad call?
Jack Steven should be run through the midfield as we have a dearth of midfield rotation options- good call, bad call?
bad call on dal. dal does what he always does. but he needs outside support to dish off to someone with some dash and toe. hes not getting outside support which makes him look less effective.
good call on jack. we are one midfield rotation short and jack is not getting enough ball to justify his spot at present.
jack steven and jarryn geary will not keep their spots in the 22 ahead of cj and one of alistair smith and mcqualter. good call bad call.
Good call re Geary out for Jones, bad call re Steven- Lynch might make way for Smith though. Baker will take Dempster's spot ultimately I reckon.Con Gorozidis wrote:[jack steven and jarryn geary will not keep their spots in the 22 ahead of cj and one of alistair smith and mcquater. good call bad call.
Our premiership hopes are hugely dependent on Michael Gardiner- good call, bad call?

bad call. gardi is super important. but if we dont get some midfield run and ball movement then not even gardi will be able to save us.dcstkfc wrote:Good call re Geary out for Jones, bad call re Steven- Lynch might make way for Smith though.

Good call, but only so far as MG is part of team and only a team-wide effort will get us there.dcstkfc wrote:Good call re Geary out for Jones, bad call re Steven- Lynch might make way for Smith though.

Kosi given two years contract purely to ruck after MG retires at season end?
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
Bad call, but not that far off the mark call- Kosi will be used as a ruck/forward in the future, playing third fiddle to Roo/ Stanley in the forward line, and playing second fiddle to Big Mac in the ruckThinline wrote:Good call, but only so far as MG is part of team and only a team-wide effort will get us there.dcstkfc wrote:Good call re Geary out for Jones, bad call re Steven- Lynch might make way for Smith though.

The strength of Ross Lyon's gameplan will ensure that we need less absolute stars to stay in premiership contention going forward- similar to Sydney

A double that will interest:

good call on lynch, bad call on heyne. Heyne is developing nicely at sandy level and took his time at senior level well.

Lynch needs to work on his speed, tackling and decision making. Seems a long way off
It would be better for people's sanity that the cats win the flag and not the pies (if we don't). Good call or bad call?

good call on zac. will play 150 games plus. hes 195cm and can run. tall defenders dont grow on trees. he got a bit skinny this year. but hes hard to replace. will be around for ages yet.dcstkfc wrote:Good call, great call- even if we have heard it all before the professional and positive image portrayed by Ross, Roo, Lenny and Joey in particular gives you great faith that we can turn it aroundsaintbrat wrote:Bad call from memory he tried years ago and it wouldn't take... turned green or orange..SainterK wrote: Roo was lying when he said he doesn't die his hair?

good call on darcy. what a flog. what is he crapping on about?
divided call. im confident heyne will be ok. lynch worries me a tad. but hes only young. so no call yet.

Look at the way quality sides this year have blooded youth:
Geelong - T Hunt, Duncan, Hogan; Improvement of Varcoe & Stokes etc.
Bulldogs - Grant, Moles, Everitt, Wood, Stack
Hawthorn - Stratton, Peterson; Improvement in Whitecross, Schoenamakers & Gilham
Freo - Roberton, Crichton, Pearce, Fyfe, Morabito, Silvagni; Development of Hill, Ballantyne, Broughton etc.
St Kilda do NOT blood enough youth during periods of success (thus, when they are thrown in to the deep end due to injury/suspension/form, they are not ready). Good call/Bad call?

this year we've got early games into: steven, stanley, heyne, lynch
and seen improvement in: gwilt, mcevoy, geary
i think we only need to get about this number of players through the side every year, so if we'd done this in past years we'd be more optimistic right now.
my call: all these current problems are mental and we've still got plenty of time to turn that side of the game around.

agree call- how much affect to the negative has winning over Geelong had( we know we can do it), and the Nick return, and the constant' Saints have an easy run' had
Ross is looking like he copes better with the pressure than Bomber does
