Autopsy Saints v Dees
Is there a team in professional sports, anywhere in the world, with a greater capacity to disappoint its fans? We are now staring down the barrel of another failed season. 0 and 2, with GWS away, Brisbane off a bye and back to back away games in Adelaide to come. Barring a massive turn around in... -
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... -

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*

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... -
Autopsy Round 5, 2021: St.Kilda v Richmond *MADDIE'S MATCH* *CARLISLE 150TH*
Yep, I accept that and I conceded that point exactly in my email to the club. However what they are in control of is communication to members and the financial arrangements with members. At the moment there are many, including me, paying for things that are not being provided, access to reserved... -
Autopsy Round 5, 2021: St.Kilda v Richmond *MADDIE'S MATCH* *CARLISLE 150TH*
You definitely won't get a response today. Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but I tried to ring the club the club this morning and got a recorded message that the entire club is closed for the day and all staff have been given the day off. May relate to the fact that the players have... -
Autopsy Round 4, 2021: St.Kilda v West Coast
A few rules for the rest of the season backed up by Saturday night's game: 1. Do not drop Jack Bytel for the rest of the season. I don't care if he has a bad game here and there, what he brings we don't have a lot of - the ability the win inside contested ball and feed the outside runners. HE... -
Autopsy AAMI Community Series - Game 1, 2021: Carlton v St.Kilda
There have been a few comments about Max King needing to be on the lead and running at the ball instead of grappling with his opponent. Being at the game, I like to watch what's going on off the ball which is not always possible watching it on TV. Liam Jones on Max King last night was like... -
Autopsy Round 17, 2020: St.Kilda v West Coast
There is never just one reason for a loss. But not selecting Carlisle is a head scratcher. Before the game there was talk he has not been offered a contract for next year. There must be more to this than meets the eye. Seeing Patton outmarked one on one by Kennedy, Coffield outmarked one on one... -
Autopsy Round 13, 2020: Brisbane v St.Kilda
We don't need to "turn" them into midfielders, they have probably played midfield their entire junior careers. Common AFL practice to use young mids as HBF while they develop physically and also develop their AFL level game awareness. They are both just about ready IMO to move into the midfield... -
News 2020 St.Kilda Media Thread
Caro also criticised Carlisle for not giving the ball back directly to the umpire at a boundary throw-in. If she actually watched games she would know that a lot of AFL players do this a lot of times. I suspect that some teams have it as an instruction to allow their team more time to set up at... -

I suppose with Collingwood having nearly every week on free to air, even the AFL have to worry about appearances and schedule the odd Collingwood game on Foxtel only and might as well make it against one of the usual whipping boys, the Saints. -

The so called "big" clubs, who also seem to have presidents with the biggest mouths, will get the prime time slots and the bulk of the free to air games. You can argue the justification for that from multiple angles and most people would see the realities of it. However, while that basis for the... -
