    VFL St Kilda VFL 2026

    Boxshall has to play next week. Not the cleanest kick but tough, wins his own footy, good overhead and tackles hard. Collard impressive and Dodson with a dominant last quarter including a couple of nice intercept marks. Stocker and Hastie solid but unfortunately Trav not showing much.

    Autopsy Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn

    Injuries, travel and fixturing clearly a significant contributing factor. However missing set shots from the top of the goal square, fumbling under zero pressure and allowing opponents to waltz through tackles is down to attitude and effort. Our 2nd best defender going forward and actually...

    Preview Rnd 12 | St Kilda v Hawthorn Marvel Stadium | Thu May 28 | 7:30pm

    Clearly VFL form is not a factor for senior selection. Having said that Keeler just needs 7 touches to exceed Camineti’s season outputs! Having zero impact as a forward so hopefully he fares better in defence. Have shown a lot of faith in LOC but he must be running out of chances. I know he has...

    I really hope you are right but there is still a level of conjecture on his AFL availability this week. I thought there was precedent set last year for AFL players suspended in the VFL but various sources (including AFL website) suggests he is not available until June. Clarity from the club...

    Nobody is on the pints. It’s simply that finding a definitive answer is proving difficult. The AFL and by extension St. Kilda’s own website say he is not available this week. Like you I believed there was precedent set last year but there seems to be a lot of confusion. To me, and I think to...

    Thanks but I'm still not sure. Common sense not very common in the AFL. From AFL website: "Tauru is set to be suspended for two games if he accepts, although St Kilda has a bye in the VFL in round nine, meaning he won’t be available until June" While not foolproof, AI suggesting this: No...

    Apologies if this has already been answered on a separate thread but does anyone have absolute clarity on Tauru’s suspension. Is it 2 matches (VFL/AFL) or 2 VFL matches? Also any ITK mail on Rowan Marshall’s likely availability this week? RTB’s recent track record of injury assessments gives me...

    Autopsy Rnd 11 | Walyalup v Euro-Yroke

    Agree with much of this but Caminiti in his 4th year has gone backwards. With Doogs and probably Marshall missing he will be saved by a lack of tall options. But please never again play him forward of the ball. Keeler’s VFL form does not warrant promotion but probably has to play forward...

    Autopsy Rnd 10 | Euro-Yroke v Richmond

    I agree. Hard to judge his efforts from the TV but live you can see how hard he works to get the ball. Just runs non-stop and his outputs as demonstrated in your post are very good. Perhaps his kicking is impacted by how hard he runs but overall he has been one of our most consistent players. I...

    Autopsy Rnd 10 | Euro-Yroke v Richmond

    Yes and no. I'm seeing some promise and that his skills are improving. He certainly has some attributes but for a wingman he simply doesn’t find enough of the pill. Further development in the VFL and he probably gets there but not sure how long we can continue with those outputs, especially when...

    Autopsy Rnd 10 | Euro-Yroke v Richmond

    Frustrating game. We looked very flat and happy to just bank the 4 points and move on. Great games from Garcia, Hall & Carrol while Pou showed what he is capable of. A few others impressed but plenty looked to be just rolling the arm over. Granted he kicked 2 (very fortuitous) goals but Camineti...

    Opinion Who is the most 'complete' player?

    Bont by the absolute length of the straight. Ticks every single box. Elite kick, great mark, runs all day, hits the scoreboard, tough (as in plays through injury, never shirks a contest rather than ‘faux’ tough by belting blokes, taking cheap shots etc) and is great leader. While maybe not part...

    North vs St Kilda: who has better short and long term prospects?

    Obviously my opinion is skewed towards the Saints but there are valid arguments either way. By any measure the Saints have had a much tougher draw. 4 interstate trips. Played 5 of last year’s finalists including the premier, minor premier and prelim finalist. Did not get a ‘neutral’ opponent in...

    Autopsy Round 9 St Kilda vs GC Suns

    Good call on the first paragraph. Evident watching the VFL yesterday that our depth is an issue. Remain very bullish on Taura and Banfield and they could be anything. Boxshell, Dodson and Fincher could become decent AFL players but hard to see many others developing beyond GOPs. Some just look...

    VFL St Kilda VFL 2026

    Has uncanny goal sense. Also seems to be pretty good on the lip as everyone wanted to belt him! Couldn’t get a regular game at Box Hill and in recent seasons played more often in the VAFA. At that size you need to be freakishly quick and skilled (Nick Watson et al) to get drafted. Looked...
