    Autopsy Round 9 - St Kilda v Carlton *SPUD'S GAME*

    We lack true leadership and skills. There needs to be transition in that area by seasons end. We are young and inexperienced in quite a few key areas. We are not as fit & fast as we think we are. We grossly over rate players that we want to BELIEVE are special talents...but are not. These are...

    Preview 2025 AFL Season - Round 7: St Kilda v Brisbane (Saturday April 26, 1.20pm - Marvel Stadium)

    Plans B and C should've been perhaps worked on a bit more during pre-season. Port Adelaide - even though they lost - started to work us out and this was then shown up moreso by GWS; it was then ramped up considerably by WB (Who played out of their skins, and was one of those games where...

    Support pants might be the best option.

    Preview Saints v Dogs, Easter Sunday night 7:20pm @ Marvel

    Great to have Henry back in. The dude is an energy bunny...but won't be surprised if it takes him a couple of games to find his groove, so not expecting too much. Be interesting to see how Ari goes. I thought he looked okay in the team last year when given a chance, and thought he should've had...

    Injury Our Injury List

    We need to move on from King. I'm sure there's other guys going around that would offer similar, and even potentially lead for the ball, tackle, and chase the opposition full back when required. If the club need to save face or appease the King cult or whatever keep him on the books for another...

    List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion

    He seems to love the place and is - by all accounts - extremely popular with his teammates and coaches. Buuut, I love a good conspiracy theory with a bit of a back story, so kudo's... let's run with it. 😎👍

    Autopsy Rnd5 2025: A Giant expectation instance

    We're not a full game side just yet. We have great quarters, and then look shaky for another. The Giants are likely going to be top 4, and have the experience and personnel to ride out games. We're not where they are. We'll get there... there's still some good to take out of the game.

    Game Day Rnd 5 St Kilda v GWS GIANTS Sunday, 3:20pm, Norwood Discorectangle

    Beaten by a better team, but we weren't disgraced. I think we've done well to be 3/2 at this stage. Regroup and hopefully get the job done next week.

    Game Day Rnd 5 St Kilda v GWS GIANTS Sunday, 3:20pm, Norwood Discorectangle

    If we're switched on from the outset, and know when to hold and when to go, we will give them a shake. It's certainly winnable, but we won't be able to afford any luxuries. It has to be a 4 quarter effort from the first bounce to the final siren. If we do win...I wonder how many commentators...

    Yeah, hope you and others are right. I'm neither cynical or pessimistic, but I do believe in reserving judgement until the errors of the past are overcome. Since Max can't play presently, I can only go on what I have seen of him in that past context. Almost everything is in place for a sustained...

    Now there's a player i'm enthusiastic about seeing in the team again 😆 The guy is all energy, creative too. Him and Collard should be good viewing.

    Preview 2025 AFL Season - Round 5: St Kilda v GWS (Sunday April 13, 3.20pm - Norwood Oval)

    This is going to be one of those games where our mids are going to have to get on the scoreboard by running the ball in, and our forwards spreading out of the 50. We did it well at the back end of last year a few times. Looked good too.

    Preview 2025 AFL Season - Round 5: St Kilda v GWS (Sunday April 13, 3.20pm - Norwood Oval)

    I hope that's the case. Also hope they move King to CHF. I still have bad flashbacks of when we were kicking to a stationary King in the goal square 99% of the time, and him missing shots from anywhere and everywhere, whilst there were at least three other better options that should've been...
