what? kosi's not a horrible kick at goal. accuse him of many things, but here's his conversion figures:bigred wrote:2.3 for mine
Its Kosi remember.
2010: 30.16 = 65.2%
2009: 48.30 = 61.5%
2008: 30.21 = 58.8%
2007: 26.13 = 66.7%
2005: 24.14 = 63.2%
2004: 20.10 = 66.7%
career 62.8% is pretty solid conversion, a bit better than riewoldt's 60.5%.
I am pretty certain he will play, but I don't reckon it's rushed back like other 'publications' are trying to make out.

ST KILDA forward Justin Koschitzke could make his season debut against Richmond this Friday night, as the team attempts to boost its fire-power in the wake of last week's low-scoring affair.
Koschitzke missed the round one loss to Geelong and the entire NAB Cup and NAB Challenge series after undergoing surgery on his troublesome ankle.
Saints assistant coach Peter Berbakov said Koschitzke would be considered at the selection table.
"He's been in training for over a week and a half now so another full training session today and I'm sure we'd love to throw him straight back in," Berbakov said on Wednesday.
"But it's the balance between the number of full training sessions coming back from some surgery as to whether we throw him back in this week or the next week."
First-round draft pick Jamie Cripps is another player Berbakov said the Saints would consider. Cripps was an emergency last week after impressing on the track and in practice matches over the pre-season.
Koschitzke terrorised Richmond's defence in round 21 last year, slotting five goals in St Kilda's 21-point win.

Richmond defense with no Rance, Tuck, Templeton (and no Cuz as a sweeper this year)...if you were going to drop him back in at any stage, this is the game. Having said that Archer could have a crack at kicking 0.10 too.

Spot on. I usually feel a lot more confident when he is lining up for a shot on goal rather than the other big fella.bergholt wrote:what? kosi's not a horrible kick at goal. accuse him of many things, but here's his conversion figures:bigred wrote:2.3 for mine

Because my ideal ins would include Kosi and a FF in Archer or Lynch, really reckon Kosi would rock in the (and I use the expression reluctantly) 'leigh brown' type role

Interesting to hear Dave say it'll take four to five weeks for the players to hit their straps fitness wise. I reckon other clubs aka essendon, sydney, richmond - are further ahead with their physical conditioning for obvious reasons.SainterK wrote:http://www.saints.com.au/injuries/tabid ... fault.aspx
Reckon if he isn't ready, Dave will win the battle with Ross.
Does that mean we just have to get through the next two games?
Also - in my opinion you're a pretty odd Saint supporter if you're slagging Kosi off already. He's had his surgery, he's getting back to fitness, we need him... what's the matter with some of you? jesus christ
My own little stab; Stanley or Archer as super sub for Kosi this weekend.

Spot on about the five weeks. Our preseason was a slow, somewhat metered recovery/build up. I reckon we are a month behind.

2010 was a very, very tough year physically for us. We were always going to take a fair while to recover.
And my little digs on Kosi within this thread were purely tongue in cheek. We are a better side with Kosi in it....a FIT Kosi in it.

Cahill kicked a few against VFL POWERHOUSE Frankston. Get him in there!BigMart wrote:That will improve our speed.....a 6'6" ruckman, with no pre season who is like the queen mary......
Smacks of desperation and another example of not trusting the youth....would rather bring back an underdone GOP than try a kid.....
Why recrui any at all
Stanley MIGHT get his jumper dirty. Get him in there!!!
Lynch may run around like something other than the deer in the headlights that I saw late last season. Give him a go!!!!!!!!!!!! He deserves it!!!!!!!!!
"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!'

Put an unknown kid on the field instead of a 5 goal forward...now THAT smacks of desperation. Besides, after the sky falling in last week, Ross will no doubt be planning a water-tight attack against Richmond's weakened defence, to keep the fans happy.BigMart wrote:That will improve our speed.....a 6'6" ruckman, with no pre season who is like the queen mary......

How about never giving them a game......
If stanley, cahill, lynch as 3rd year players, are that poor.....then why are they on the list?
Cant even be considered for a game....even when we are bereft of fwds
Get rid of them...they havent dominated a game, so how on earth can we select them...
We would rather play blake as a key fwd and an underdone kosi....than play a kid who was recruited three years ago for this exact thing......must instill shitloads of confidence....which is why our kids develop so quickly, i suppose.

Do Geelong and Western Bulldogs fans bleat and carry on like this too? Displacing Brodie Moles with Cooney, when they should be giving the kids a go? Johnno past his prime. Leaving Nathan Djerrkura to waste away on their list, when Stevie J was obviously past it. Lets not mention that hack Hawkins! Etc, etc...especially after R1!
