We really need to start beating those teams we never seem to beat. We're starting to do that against Geelong and the Swans (well, once) and Adelaide but Brisbane and Port are two we need to get better against.samuraisaint wrote: ↑Sat 07 Sep 2024 8:44am Well, anyway you call it, Port have had our measure since 2012. They've won 14 out of 15 and beat us everywhere. And it is their midfield which does the damage.
Having said that 6 out of the fourteen losses have been by less than a goal, but it is pointing out the bleeding obvious to state that we always get their season rolling every season.
I believe our club has kept Kenny in his job. He should send St. Kilda a Christmas ham every year.
How'd the midfield go?

As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: How'd the midfield go?
We've actually beaten the Swans four times since 2020 and beaten Geelong the previous three times at Docklands. So, that's a significant uptick.Jacks Back wrote: ↑Sat 07 Sep 2024 9:11amWe really need to start beating those teams we never seem to beat.

Port, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne are our current bogey teams. And apart from Melbourne (once) none of them have won a premiership for over 20 years, so there's no excuse.
Your friendly neighbourhood samurai.

Re: How'd the midfield go?
Yeah that didn't age well did it.
I'm still not convinced about the Hawks though.
We will soon enough if the Hawks build is an emerging trend or not built for finals.
