    Preview Round 13 | Sydney Swans v St Kilda SCG | Sunday June 7 | 3:15pm

    Clanger kicks are pretty normal for most players- have a look Hill, Sincs and a few others..elite kicks normally, but can shank 'em as good as any. I think Lyon is timid and does't like risk, but Hastie deserves a run in the seniors. Banfield is still work in progress, as is Dodson.

    Preview Round 13 | Sydney Swans v St Kilda SCG | Sunday June 7 | 3:15pm

    Carroll wasn't our worse player last game, and I think maybe Lyon may go for Stocker for more strength, as Syd are a pretty strong team, maybe just a team balance thing, but we need more intercept marking down back as well..as matter of fact we need the fellas to pull their fingers out.

    St Kilda Coaching 2025 and beyond

    We looked our best against crappy teams playing bad footy where the lack of opposition defensive play allowed our guys to run free- once the pressure was on us from better teams, we came back to the pack. We couldn't win winnable games, with most players available, so there's a more to the...

    St Kilda Coaching 2025 and beyond

    Slowing down ball movement is a killer when you have momentum- too much second thinking. I think the guys are hampered by a no-risk game style/ plan whatever you may call it, that inhibits their natural game. Too many of our games over the last few seasons have had defeat snatched from jaws of...

    St Kilda Coaching 2025 and beyond

    No doubt about the quality of Harvs, but wasn't he overlooked for the gig when Richo got it?, and I don't think Collingwood were too interested in him as senior coach going forward. Maybe it's a communication thing, who knows.

    Bombers might need to get James Hird back there with some pep pills.

    List Mgmt. 2026 List management - pt.1

    Yes, we lost three games we should have won, and just got home against GWS. That was with players in that are out now. Those winnable games were really the games which would indicate that we are on the road to improving, but it didn't happen. Lyon's style is now under scrutiny as it is failing...

    List Mgmt. 2026 List management - pt.1

    Looking bottom 4 for us in reality. We are unsettled and unbalanced as a playing unit and have injury woes, not to mention a game style that will not see us trouble many teams above us. It is vital that we start to put games into the likes of Boxshall, Hastie and one or two others, as this...

    My Geelong mob tell me that Wilson and Hastie have been on their wishlist, and the return of Boris as well

    VFL St Kilda VFL 2026

    I noticed Garcia in the last couple of games, seemed to be doing a lot of chasing and not getting close enough to the ball. I think there's more work to do with his defensive game off the ball- though probably has a few mates there.

    List Mgmt. 2026 List management - pt.1

    Yeah, I remember all the talk back then, or even earlier, of premiership windows, give it time, we're competitive...but in the end the coach and list just didn't work. Seeing the same now.. some are seriously over-rating a few youngsters on our list.

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    That's why you have a coach- to fix errors.

    List Mgmt. 2026 List management - pt.1

    The only thing we're not good at is winning- 4 points is all that counts. All the promise, potential and getting close for a two or three quarters mean nothing in the record books at the end of a season. Even with fewer injuries we still couldn't win the winnable earlier in the season.

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    We also had playing, Macrae, Wood, Marshall, Wilke, TDK, Silvagni, Sharman, Sinclair, Henry, Wilson, Pou, Windy, Caminiti, Hill - all with senior game experience. What we expected was at least a competitive effort, not the weak capitulation we saw. At least Byrnes turned up at the first bounce.

    Could be that Paddy Dow comes in for Flanders- is experienced, plays a similar game. We really need to get Boxshall and Hastie in the seniors for a block of games now the season is ro@ted
