Ferguson, clearly a forward, ends up playing full back when we can't score more than two goals in two quarters - put him up front and leave him there
So many players handball and then fail to shepherd but just sit back and admire, we then get caught or kick under pressure and thus don't hit targets
Kosi is either unfit or mentally not tough enough - he often starts well and then drops off as the game wears on
I would trade Kosi even though he will be star somewhere else
We can never create scoreboard pressure by kicking straight
Blake gets played at FF - did OK actually but really not his spot.....
The umps are clearly fools (but we did get lots of frees yesterday)
We don't have someone running for the hand ball receive from Gardi - please leave hitting up leading forwards to someone else...
Only two of our players really tackle or have any hard ball gets.....

He couldn't get a touch up forward even when we were dominating in the first quarter.

He competes at least and puts pressure on and that is his best position - none of our tall forwards were kicking goals.
Play him in a position for a while and get him used to being the third tall.

I agree CeilidhSaint, leave him up forward. Especially against teams like the bulldogs who set up so much from their backline, we need as much pressure as we can get from our forwards and Ferg definitely has a go.

At least he touched it twice while he was there. He went back and didnt get a stat for the rest of the day. :oops: Top move. :shock:

I'd be inclined to leave Ferguson in the VFL.

But, then, I'd have been inclined to dump him in 2006 and stick with TS 40, who was faster, stronger, and a better kick.

As so many people tell me, I guess I'm just stuck in the past too much.

Problem is that, as far as St Kilda is concerned, the past was a better place than the present....
