Once again that task doesnt only rest with the coaches to pull off motivational miracles for professional athletes weekly - the individual plays a part and IMO the BIGGEST part aka Robert Harvey.vacuous space wrote: but the coaches have the task of motivating him and getting the best out of him. If they can't do that, they should really be looking at themselves and wondering if they themselves are up to the task.
I want Dal Santo back in the side BUT I want both Dal Santo's - offensively deadly AND determinedly defensive. Id hat to see his opponent simply run off him next week for Nth time and again cause the Dals learnt nothing.
He is a great players and extremely talented but lets face it he often pays no respect to his opponent and I reckon Lyon wants that in his game cause he knows Dal's got another gear that other players dont have.
Lets hope Fineys reports of 23 possies, 4 nside 50 and 4 tackles are right and hes back AND hungry.
“Yeah….nah””

Can think of about 6 spastics that shouldn't be out there
Ins-Dal Santo
Out- Numerous spastics

Milne, Dal do enough to earn recall
Chris Mitchell | June 23, 2008 12:00am
ST KILDA stars Nick Dal Santo and Stephen Milne got their hands dirty in the VFL yesterday, playing pivotal roles in Casey's 53-point win against Coburg.
Dropped for the first time this season for Friday night's game against Fremantle at Telstra Dome, both put up their hands for an instant recall to the Saints' side for Saturday night's game against North Melbourne at Carrara with impressive performances.
Milne, who played forward and in the midfield, was particularly damaging, booting four goals from 23 disposals to be best afield, while Dal Santo played onball and shrugged off a heavy tag from Coburg's Nick Carnell to finish with 11 kicks and eight handballs.
While Dal Santo refused to talk to the media, Milne said he was happy to find form in wet and slippery conditions at Coburg City Oval.
"It was a bit of a mud-heap but it was good to have a win," the 28-year-old said.
"It was pretty tough out there. It reminded me of the good old junior days in the mud. It was real (tough) footy and it was good to get a run on the ball and . . . get on the end of a couple."
Asked what his role for the game was, Milne said: "To get amongst it."
Scorpions coach Greg Hutchison said he was pleased with the tackling and defensive pressure of both players.
"I thought Dal Santo and Milne both presented themselves very well," he said.
"I thought their attitude was fantastic and their work-rate was great. We just wanted them to play with a fair bit of effort and intensity, and they both showed that.
"I thought Nick's last quarter was really good. He worked really hard, made some good tackles and put himself in the contest, which is what we asked him to do."
