Your Finals X Factor?
Who will step and truly make a name for themselves in this years finals?
My X factor is Gardi. He has not done a lot lately with injuries and in different form, but I reckon he will come in a stamp his name all over the 2009 campaign.

Goddard. He was born for this sort of stuff. I really hope he spends some good time up forward, too. He could do a D Jarman and kick 5 in a quarter.

I'm not so sure about Gardi. He obviously was the x-factor round 14, but i don't think he can deliver that over the course of an entire month.
I'm also going to have to go with Goddard. I reckon gonny will step up and be our luke hodge; a f***ing hard nut streaming off the backline pinpointing passes to our boys straight down the guts.
Then again, if Gram learns to kick short and straight after sprinting through the middle, rather than bombing it god-knows-where, we are virtually unstoppable.

Yep. They will become legends over the next month!! StKilda football club - Premiers in 2009.matrixcutter wrote:the entire side
I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

True, so true. If we play as a team, like we did against Hawthorn and Adelaide (both times) especially, we'll win, unless something catastrophic happens. Our guys have been waiting for this month for a long time. We can s*** it in.matrixcutter wrote:the entire side

Agreed. I'm tipping the G-tram to kick a bag in a big final (hopefully the BIG one).spert wrote:Gram -he seems to be able to find space on the MCG and has played well there in the past.
With our midfield so deep Grammy is one that slips under the radar & he has to have his best month of footy in his career.

If all the big names play as they are expected to (and I agree Kosi is our X factor) I think our 'wild card' is McQualter. He gets under everyone's guard and pops up for a handy goal or two. His tackling pressure in the forward line is second to none. He's the sort of player who makes his name in a Grand Final side.

Not sure about x factor - but I reckon Milne, Schneider and Mcqualter. We need their fwd pressure. This is the key to our entire game plan. If that returns, then look out.
We had 68 inside 50's to about 38 on the weekend. The reason they were able to score so easily from relatively few inside 50's was b/c they were getting it out of our fwd line too easily, so the midfileders couldn't get back to give a chop out. We need to lock it in our fwd line. This is the key to our game plan and has been all year. These 3 blokes provide that fwd pressure b/c of their speed and tackling ability.
