    2025 Draft Thread

    Just watch at draft time when all those "journos" who have been saying the club should stop whinging and just do better, start saying oohh the drafts so compromised, the AFL should do something to fix it.

    Autopsy Crows hammer Saints by 63 in round 1

    That was pretty much as expected. Five minutes in I tipped a 100+ point loss so I suppose there's a positive in that. The AFL early season fixturing (with the emphasis on fix) has conspired with an untimely slew of injuries to almost guarantee that our season is pretty much over before it has a...

    News 2025 St. Kilda Media Thread

    Nearly had a heart attack scrolling the AFL site and seeing a headline saying "Marshall's season in doubt after training injury". It is Port's Marshall, bad for him and Port but I admit I breathed a sigh of relief.

    List Mgmt. 2023 Trade Thread - Part II

    John Ralph is a clickbait generating half-wit. Whenever he comes up with his hypothetical deals, which never actually come to fruition, he always frames the deal in a way that would benefit the bigger club because, well, clickbait. He is the same with his predictions on MRO/tribunal predictions...

    Autopsy Round 11, 2023: St.Kilda v Hawthorn

    Thoughts after 24 hours, to let the anger subside to volcanic levels: Our game plan during that early part of the season was built on manic levels of intensity and effort. If, as a lot are suggesting, the reason for our drop off is because that cannot be sustained across a season, then it is...

    News 2022 St Kilda Media Thread

    I think it's common knowledge on this board that David King is a card carrying member of the KSHC (Known St Kilda Hater's Club) but he out did himself on last night's Fox Footy Trading wrap up show. They waited until the the dying minutes of the show to "dissect" St Kilda's trade period...

    Autopsy Round 17, 2022: St.Kilda v Fremantle

    3 points: 1. We are very easy to play against. We defend the ground with a structured shape of players in a grid guarding space. This is, I assume, what Ratten experienced first hand working under Clarko. Except we can't seem to perfect it. Oppositions bring the ball out of defence by going wide...

    Autopsy Round 15, 2022: Sydney v St.Kilda

    It doesn't matter what changes we make for next week. There is something not right with this playing group and the coaching group. There is a major disconnect. Even when we were winning earlier in the year there was a bit of "by the seat of their pants" about the game style. They are a group...

    Autopsy Round 14, 2022: St.Kilda v Essendon *SPUD'S GAME*

    I would like to hear an explanation for that performance from the coach. No BS excuses, no cliches, no weasel words, an actual EXPLANATION. I think after being a supporter for over 50 years and a card carrying, paid up member for over 30 of those years, I'm owed one. It was evident from the...

    Autopsy Round 1, 2022: St.Kilda v Collingwood

    All the debate about who should and should not have played is irrelevant (apart from the ones about NWM being picked to debut as sub, which I agree with) because it would not have mattered who played, while the game plan and the work rate are not up to scratch: 1. We were out-coached by a coach...

    Autopsy Round 13, 2021: St.Kilda v Adelaide

    On a topic that quite a few have touched on, the fitness of the team. I agree, we are not fit enough to run out games or even quarters. Our performance and stats in red time prove this. Those who follow the Premier League in the UK, would know of Leeds United and their manager, Bielsa, "EL...

    Autopsy Round 13, 2021: St.Kilda v Adelaide

    Been following this team for a long time including the late seventies and eighties when we "won" 7 spoons in 11 years. That was bad, but tonight was almost the nadir of my lifetime following this team. I didn't subscribe to ECO but it is starting to appeal. Between Covid and the Saints, my love...

    Discussion Random Discussion (No Politics, Religion) - SHOW CHIN PASSPORT ON ENTRY

    Well done to the club and Lethlean. Constructive criticism is one thing but Lyon's and Brown's negative commentary towards King during the game was incessant and unnecessary. As for the so called "flop", there is nothing in the rules that says a blatant push in the back 50 meters off the ball is...

    Autopsy Round 5, 2021: St.Kilda v Richmond *MADDIE'S MATCH* *CARLISLE 150TH*

    Posting this here as George closed off the Autopsy thread where this discussion was taking place, after describing my expectations of the club as impractical and illogical and before I could respond. I don't think that was fair as I was sharing information that may be of interest to others. I...

    Autopsy Round 5, 2021: St.Kilda v Richmond *MADDIE'S MATCH* *CARLISLE 150TH*

    Maybe that's because you have come across in most of this thread sounding like an apologist for the club and saying things like it's virtually impossible for the club to respond to grievances. You have not exactly made it sound likely that the club would or should respond. As stated previously...
