No not at all. People think out ex players and ex coach couldnt play and coach. I am just amazed with all these issues that we made 2 GF's in a row. zJust wondering how we did it with all these issues.whiskers3614 wrote:you baiting again Plugger?

Greatest strength was his pin-pointing of a target inside 50.
He sure was s*** in 10 & 11. It actually started from the 2009 GF.

McQ was awful regardless of where the team finished. He always was awful and will continue to be awful. He will not play a game for the Coasters. He will be overtaken by the youngens a month into the season.saintkid wrote:Moccha wrote:St.Kilda was propped up by half a dozen players.

Why?
Because he is awful.

One of the problems is that the injuries of Steven and Armitage weren't given much publicity so people understandably feel Mini was preferred on form alone.[/quote]dcstkfc wrote:in the 2010 finals.
My argument is that if Mini had stayed dropped since rd10... maybe we could have developed someone else into that role
e.g. Miles
Maybe Armo or Steven wouldn't have been injured
Or Geary etc

A bloke is drafted by St Kilda and early on shows some promise. His career stalls and he is delisted, however the club then drafts him back as a Rookie. He plays well in the VFL and is eventually promoted back on to the Senior List. He then performs very well in a side that wins 19 on end and goes within a breath of winning the flag.
Over the next two years his form slips under a very rigid and demanding coach and an inadequate St Kilda/Sandringham partnership. And at the end of 2011 he is delisted as a new coach is appointed and the list is cleared to make way for new blood and to address list problems of the past.
Sound about right?
And yet a thread about the delisted Saint getting a chance up North with an inexperienced new franchise is about to head into it's fourth page with many posters jumping on to bag the bloke.
Fair dinkum!
All I've got to say is good luck Andrew, both with GC and with the rest of your life.

Not sure Geary or Miles could play forward. Actually not sure Miles could play. And yes I know someone is going to say we didnt need to play Mini like we did but RL used a structure that he thought was important. We were one bounce off him being correct. And I am unsure you ccan say maybe a couple of players may not have got injured. Maybe 10 players would have been injured had Mini not played. Hypothetical. They were injured so they couldnt replace Mini.
