Get him the Sr side next week and leave him there for at least 4 games to see how he goes.

If he comes in and plays well, does that mean he should have been in earlier or that they waited just the right amount of time?

He was pretty ineffective up forward in round one.

That's just my opinion, the coaching staff noore than me so if he does come in and play well then it means nothing more than that.

Provided he isn't injured from today.


I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

Not so sure that Tom Hickey is a walk up start for next week. He was getting plenty of work done on his left hip/quad by the physios every time he came off today !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Yes he should have been in earlier.

Kosi was struggling in the VFL, why did he come in against Sydney?

Kosi clearly struggled against Sydney, why did he play against Collingwood?

I love the bloke & he's given a lot, but the game had past him last year.

Hickey was a huge investment & roll learn a lot quicker playing AFL & who didn't struggle in round 1?

Agreed. I was standing near the race to the Zeb's rooms, and in the third quarter when Sandy got rolling and he got some decent delivery he was good. His work below his knees when the ball hit the deck was very impressive for a guy of his size. His follow up efforts in a passage of play the fourth quarter when on the ball were really impressive too.

It will be interesting to see how Hickey goes once he gets over his pre-season injury.

As was said countless times Hickey was not ready injured himself been mentioned countless times by club ,coach

Hence playing Kosi long season thy need to spread load .

English translation: As has been mentioned countless times, Hickey was not ready. He injured himself. It has been mentioned countless times (as I said before) by the club and coach. Hence, the selection of Kosi. It is a long season, so they need to spread the load.

Was certainly favouring his hip at training this morning. Had quite a limp.

Thanks Eastern, I heard he was limping towards the end of the game. May not have fully recovered from the Round 1 injury!
