But Starcevich was a revelation at Brisbane?!

Agree though, the handling of Ball in 06 was atrocious, same goes for Kosi! A bit of the old school in GT and his attitude towards conditioning.

But you just said in this thread that GT was a 'terrific developer of our kids'.

Which is it? Similar to other topics, you throw inconsistent opinions all over the place.

Bit embarrassing.

Wasn't Starcevich in charge of condition? As you indicated?

GT would have given a direction about what he wanted the players to be able to do.... Which I know was... Bulk up like Brisbane... He wanted more 'Meat and Potatos' they did triple the amount of Squats with heavier weights.... And he wanted size... As did Geelong!

Starcevich would have been in control of the program and individual levels... The physios responsible for injury/rehab/recovery

Bit like GT picked some bad kids in the draft or masterminded some trades.... Even though he had type preferences for list profiling.... he told me personally, he had little input into both as he WAS not an expert in recruiting?!

Not really embarrassed

Think before you post, perhaps?

And yes...

GT did develop the list very well

Jones reignited back to HB
Brett Voss from fringe bit player to terrific HB
Dal Santo an AA at 21
Hayes became a dual AA under him
Baker a B&F
Joey an emerging gun
Gram to RU B&F
Fisher from state league CHF to 3rd in the B&F CHB
Maguire and X pre injury were great
Raph was terrific in 2005
Ball an AA at 21
Gehrig from inconsistent flakey whipping boy at WC to a power fwd
Kosi... Excellent in his first year, and again in 05... Injury stuffed him
Gwilt... Into a SF at 19yo

He struggled with Goddard though? Even though they had a great relationship... He did not know how to utilise BJ with Aussie playing QB

He had a lot of talent, yes.... But so has other teams. He (and other coaches) developed the talent and gave it opportunity.

I didn't indicate anything of the sort. So that is another distortion of the truth.

This is the reason you don't quote anyone - it allows you write lies and reference non existent posts. This blurs your accountablilty as it's difficult to follow the crap you write.

Don't make stuff up that other posters have said and reference to me.


You should be embarrassed. You can't hold a single point in any thread - and you lie.

ST KILDA have committed to winning their long-awaited second AFL premiership before 2020.

The struggling Saints released their strategic plan at Thursday night’s season launch, with the club also declaring they want to build an admired culture.

While St Kilda expect the next two years to be very challenging on the field, they have planned to be back in the top four by 2018.

The old "Five year plan" is now a "six year plan" :roll:
