    VFL St Kilda VFL 2026

    9 goals to 1 in the last 25 minutes. Pathetic when you have 11 AFL listed players out there. Sad reality is our depth is horrible. Some of these blokes just completely uncompetitive. No defensive pressure and they seemed to score every time they went forward. Forward line non-existent. LOC and...

    VFL St Kilda VFL 2026

    Some decent passages but perhaps lucky to be leading at half time with the Tigers missing some opportunities late. Clarke dominating. If he pulls up ok I reckon he goes straight in next week. Several other listed players looking impressive but not sure about the quality of the opposition. Is Box...

    VFL St Kilda VFL 2026

    He was taken with our first pick (#26 overall) in the 2020 National Draft. You don’t generally burn your first selection on a project player. He was recruited as a KPP but never really looked like making it. Perhaps that was due to injury or our inability to develop players during that period...

    Injury Max King's knee

    Taura’s output last week was 2 kicks, 1 handball, 1 mark (albeit a MoTY contender) and 1 goal. Was just marginally better the week before. I have no doubt he will develop into a gun player but right now he is having very little impact and is still some way off being an attacking threat. Would...

    VFL St Kilda VFL 2026

    Not disputing any of that. And I think your analogy is spot on. However personally I would rather see the AFL listed players step up and lead and be given a chance to develop.

    VFL St Kilda VFL 2026

    I might be in the minority here but just don't get the hype about a mature age VFL recruit who has already played at 3 VFL clubs. Phillip’s is a solid VFL standard defender who played one AFL game. He was taken as a mature age SSP at Hawthorn following a number of pre-season injuries to key...

    Autopsy Got away with a win!

    A bit off topic but relevant to the attached post. Saw a comment on main board suggesting that the number of registered AFL players in Western Sydney is alarmingly low and going backwards fast. A decade and a half into this 'experiment' is it time to move them somewhere else? Aside from the...

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 2 - GWS v Saints Sat March 21st 4:15pm AEDT (Engie)

    Brave win by the Saints. Short week, interstate travel, Giants looking for redemption after a belting last week, difficult conditions including a delayed start. Lost a key defender early with several playing injured and others feeling the lingering effects of the flu. Not pretty and had some...

    VFL St Kilda VFL 2026

    Watched 2 and half quarters. A few nice passages but totally outplayed for the most part. Got within 18 points early in the last but ended up losing by 44. Of the listed players Howard and Fincher good, Dodson and Trav ok but nobody else really putting their hand up. Perhaps he was carrying an...

    Opinion Have St Kilda been overhyped this year?

    Nothing comes without risk and that’s part of the gamble involved in this strategy. Aside from a handful of players (who are essentially now locked in) it’s a bit rich for the playing group to be resentful when they have put together consecutive 12th place finishes. If not for the NAS heroics v...

    Opinion Have St Kilda been overhyped this year?

    How dare you bring logic and balance to this pile on! Finally someone seeing it for what it is. Of course they overpaid. They had to. And it certainly is a gamble but as you point out it is one they had to take. While i know this will never happen, the strategy should be judged at the end of...

    Opinion Have St Kilda been overhyped this year?

    I’m a big RTB fan and bought into the 'second coming' hype fan but his constant deflection and arrogant responses to legitimate questions is becoming tiresome. The lack of accountability and acknowledgement about the Daicos & Pendlebury influence in Rd 1 and the decision to bench NAS and leave...

    Preview Saints v Dees @MCG 3:15pm Sunday 15/3

    He was a bit curlish, even by his standards. Maybe he’s feeling the pressure. And so he should be! I actually found this one less irritating than the post Collinwood game presser, which bordered on delusion. The only person on the planet who could not acknowledge the influence of N.Dacos (41 and...

    Autopsy Opening Rd - St Kilda v Collingwood

    Cooper Sharman says “hold my beer”. Dropped several marks he usually takes with his eyes closed, including a couple in the goal square. Missed an absolute sitter kick for goal at a crucial stage in the 3rd and to top things off puts a knee in the back of Marshall’s head (and drops the mark)...

    Preview Saints v Dees @MCG 3:15pm Sunday 15/3

    Had some passengers but personally don't want to see them wield the axe after one loss in game we really should have won. Clark or Stocker in for Marshall is the only change for me. Neither are ‘like for like’ but Clark would provide some class and Stocker some hardness. Probably lean towards...
