“Deployed in a number of roles in 2019.”
Sounds like our new Blake Acres.

I reckon it's actually more likely that Nick Coffield will end up being somewhat of a reboot of previous cult favourite Justin Peckett, and not just because he moved into the number one guernsey and bears a slight resemblance to him with his dark curls, long face and brooding confidence.

By the peak of his career, "Frankie" along with his partner in crime Matt Young, was respected as an offensive backman to the extent that opposition strategy only started to thwart his influence once they sacrificed one of their forwards to tag him. His run and linking play was a shining light among a lot of fairly average play in the St Kilda backline, as I remember it anyway.

I can't remember if Nick Coffield is a runner or not, but I do have a preference for defenders who want to be midfielders and who are comfortable setting up attacks, and that is really going to be Coff's strength with his decision making. He may not make it into the midfield full-time, but the fact that he's happy to get a gig anywhere in the team suggests he's going to find himself selected regularly when he is ready.

I'm looking forward to seeing that number one streaking down the wing with his head up looking for options again very soon.

today on Perth radio 882 6PR i was on the lunchtime show chatting about the Nicky Winmar statue for optus stadium and our push to try and get it unveiled for our round 3 match against the Dockers in Perth ... with only 50 odd days til that came its a bit of a long shot but the main item that i was really trying to push across was the need for the unveiling of this monument to Nicky to be inclusive of the St Kilda footy club and our WA supporters ...

It's unbelievable.

I'm an hour into Plugger's 3 hour highlights and it is some of the best stuff I've watched. An amazing trip down memory lane.

Yeah I dont know where they get the figures from but I believe its often the club websites themselves which just dont really ever get updated.

Riewoldt for example was forever listed at 193 but is more like 195/6 when you see him standing next to 196cm Bruce. Membrey as well is 188 listed but I reckon he is more like 190.

Classic preseason discussion, love it. Needs barrels providing specific photos to assess....

Have to agree, the Plugger highlights reel is amazing. Just finished the whole Milne one as well and as a highlights package it is arguably better, not suggesting that Milne is better than Lockett as a player for one second, but the highlights package was seriously amazing.

Fantastic video montage of the little master.
Could watch it all day.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I think the Pres spun it nicely.

I thought this was a bit of good news also. Of course Jake Niall ends the article with a boot in the club's balls but whatever. I've stopped pining for media love and am happy now for the club to succeed despite the endorsement of biased and cynical 'experts'.

Somehow I got through the paywall so

St Kilda Football Club painted the South East red, white and black last week as part of their 2019 AFL Community Camps.
The club visited 12 schools on February 4-5, engaging approximately 1200 students. They also held clinics at Somerville, Dromana, Rye and Red Hill junior football clubs.

These visits, paired with a yoga session on the beach for local enthusiasts, childcare centre visits and a community forum for 80 local footy coaches and officials saw more than 2,500 people take part in Saints activities across the Peninsula.

St Kilda players visited Mercy Place Aged Care, Rosebud.
“It’s a great opportunity to give back, go into local communities and engage with kids and try and put a smile on their face,” Saints’ wingman Ed Phillips said.

Jack Steven visited Mercy Place Aged Care, Rosebud.
While the players did have to do some training, including a gruelling beach tackling session, the open training session at Rosebud Football Club on Tuesday morning, while the players were also a hit at local aged care centres.

“It’s very valuable because as footballers we can be a role model for those in the community and it’s good to get out and show them you are a genuine person,” new draftee Nick Hind said.

Jack Steele competes in a beach tackling session was at Portsea Back Beach.
Anyone who missed out meeting the players can next see them in action at their intra-club match at RSEA Park, Moorabbin on Saturday, February 23. For more information visit saints.com.au

What I find amazing about Milnes highlights are his goals . I’ve watched lots of his highlights videos and the amount of goals from snaps that he kicks that the goal umpire doesn’t have to move because the ball goes straight over his head is unbelievable. We all know Plugger was a great kick at goal but I don’t think many people realise just how great Milne was . Even from tight angles his snaps go straight through the middle . And you have to remind yourself that he as a small forward as well . I wish we had him now , imagine him and Gresham in the same forward line , sigh !!


Don’t Panic !!
