    Autopsy NAB Challenge Week 1, St Kilda v North Melbourne, Saturday 20 February 2016, Wangaratta

    How would anyone ouside our club have any idea what Sexton does or doesnt do? Isnt he the Director of Coaching he might be rated as good stategist but have you seen any significant results to support that? Regardless of what his role is at the club Im suggesting is he has no background in the...

    Autopsy NAB Challenge Week 1, St Kilda v North Melbourne, Saturday 20 February 2016, Wangaratta

    Remember that article was written by Mark Robinson - burningdwarf, who also has NFI about the game. What wonders has he done with the Saints since becoming an assistant, turned an average list around form 18 to 16th well done Danny! All that says is he has a teaching background and can waffle...

    Autopsy NAB Challenge Week 1, St Kilda v North Melbourne, Saturday 20 February 2016, Wangaratta

    What does the club see in Danny Sexton? He has the personality of a 'dead carp', he barely looks interested and never seems happy. He reminds me of an English teacher a had in high school who always looked like he hated his job. How can this type of personality be a positive around a club. He...

    Can someone ITK please explain WHY when we win the ball in contests eg ball ups we want to handball backwards to a stationary post player. On a number of occasions we did this when the guy with the ball was facing forward and was clear to take off, only to handball backwards to a stationary...

    He was the same in the intra club - no energy. Remember his QLD issue I reckon he is just one those guys who cant cope with the heat. Either that or hes been kissing Bailey and has Glandular Fever also, because he has been terrible in both games. MG has aleady said it is just the NAB cup. But...

    Hickey has looked better rucking than forward. He has no idea as a forward but serviceable in the ruck. Is a major weakness in our list...McKernan would have been handy. Teams must love Dempster having the ball in defence as heva look w ays give the opposition time to cover options. Always slow...

    No way is Goddard ready to play as a key defender. I know its early but where is the improvement? Opposition still splitting us with rebound thru the middle. Struggle to find one change or positive in our ball movement ...

    Paddy must be injured or crook? Good effort but the same dumb disposal skills killing us. Is there one player on the Saints list that can kick the ball to the benfit of a leading forward I dont think there is. We were very poor at this last year and nothing has changed. Otherwise we leveled up...

    Pre-Season 2015/16

    I recall Ross Lyon said after going away with Clarko and the Australian side that kicking would be Freo's priority in the pre season. Watching the game tonight in windy conditions Freo's kIcking skills look first rate. Thats the level we need to get to be a realisrtic threat...

    Preview NAB Cup Rd 1 St Kilda v North Melbourne 20/02/16

    30 degrees in Wangaratta tomorrow. WHY do the AFL still program games in the hottest part of the day in summer? Will definitely be a test of fitness in that heat I hope our blokes have been acclimatising and training in the heat.

    AFL & protective head gear?

    After reading the Sam Blease article on the AFL site where concussion ended his career prematurely it got me thinking about WHY dont more AFL players wear protective head wear. I believe its a cultural stigma issue where players dont want to be seen wearing them. Daniel McKenzie is a classic...

    Griffith wouldnt have to play a KPP role, we have Paddy and Bruce for that. He would just need to play that David Hale role wich I think he is more than capable of.

    You are possibly over rating Hickey and underating Griffiths - I would be happy just to get Griffiths to the club. Either way it would be a good trade for the clubs, they have Vickey & Elton but need a No 1 ruckman, we need a player similiar to Ben Griffiths. Then we could upgrade Holmes as a...

    At this minute you are probably right but Hickey wouldnt get a game in too many other sides in the comp. The simple truth is he wont be at the Saints when we next challenge so we need to find or develop other options which with our current list are slim.

    I don't have an agenda and not everyone thought Hickey was great. It's just the Hickey defenders/fans who disagree & that's fine they are entitled to their opinion as am I. As I have agreed he was the best our the ruckman forward but did not kick a goal surely that's his job in a dominant...

    Game Day Intra Club Practice Match @ Trevor Barker Beach Oval 5pm

    I never quoted who played in the ruck in which quarter. Holmes plays with energy, aggression and creates space for his team mates. Hickey plays like a slow moving light pole that avoids contact at all costs, amost like he is still playing Volleyball. The single thing you have correct is that...

    Depending on how Freeman goes - but after watching yesterdays game I believe our. most pressing need is a mobile 2nd ruckman. I had hopes for Hickey but he hasnt improved. Pierce wont make it and Holmes doesnt have a forward game. The club has a history of terrible trade decisions and most of...

    Joop thats the beauy of footy there is a million ways to look at a game, but I maintain.Hickey was poor and wouldnt be in my starting 22. He mainly rucked aginst Peirce who is useless, but when against Holmes, Holmes killed him. i dont need to watch a replay that know that Hickey is another...

    Most has been covered but I find it extraordinary how vastly different peoples perpective of games are. My first message would be dont expect significant improvement this year! Secondly I thought Hickey was very poor and showed nothing to suggest he will sucessfully fill the 2nd ruck role. I...

    That is like having a suspended sentence, I would be surprised if the appeal court cant alter that determination? People are suggesting they cant but I doubt any of the posters are International Law experts. Getting an extra penalty is generally the expectation of a failed appeal - wasting the...

    I wonder if they lose the appeal as expected can the appeal court alter the penalty eg criminal court. Would be comical for all involved if they lost and then got the full 2 year penalty - which IMO they deserve in any respect.
