Uncontested mark in 50 and lacking in experience

Too many small forwards...

Such a poor strategy

When the heats on, there’s little they can do without the momentum

When your game is reliant on making the most of your limited opportunities... can’t afford to fluff all of them

Don’t throw the baby outwith the bath water here

There’s been a lot to like and a big lesson about structure

That is same old St Kilda, goal kicking killing us as usual.
Looks like a completely different St Kilda to me.

Looks like a bunch of dudes that have barely played with each other and don't really know WTF each other is doing.

Which was exactly what was expected to happen.


Having said that - the kicking for goal has been an embarrassment.

It's alway the coach's fault at St Kilda ... the next coach will sort it out, and if not him/her then the one after.

Agreed.

We’ve fluffed this by going to small and undervaluing skill and size

Need to lose one of Lonie/Kent for a bigger guy like Battle
And I reckon you can’t have all of Ross, Steele, Dunstan and Hannebery in the team - not enough class
