To be fair pressure acts don't tend to make highlight reels. Honestly he is more offensive than defensive but he's a quick ball of muscle who pressures the opposition effectively. The only issue when he played in the seniors for us was that he'd go missing for chunks of the game. He'd have a...

Glad to see Minch picked up. As others have said, a combination of injuries and poor coaching conspired against him at St Kilda. I'd love to see what body of work he could have put together if he was given the same amount of opportunities that Weller/Lonie had. Minch is quick, strong, skillful...

I wasn't saying it's smart, just possible

Bruce is a reliable spearhead. Lonie has been getting a heap of shots on goal but not converting; hopefully that changes soon. Billings and Sinclair hit the scoreboard consistently and recently Mav Weller has become a serious forward threat (5 goals so far this year). Jack Steven and Tom Hickey...

Fisher will take the biggest, strongest Hawthorn forward. I dare say that will be Ceglar or McEvoy at any given time. Agree that Dempster will take Gunston as Fisher doesn't have the agility to go with him. I think Webster will take Cyril, Geary on Bruest which leaves the issue of Sicily...with...

There's not much point in trying to stop Riewoldt, Milne requires an experienced defender who won't fall for his tricks, Dal Santo is easily tagged and Hayes is not someone you need to stop. St Kilda beat Collingwood because of Sam Fisher, Gram, Raph Clarke, Gilbert, Blake and Goddard cutting...

??? Please elaborate In every interview with a St Kilda player/coach/official over the past few weeks they have been asked if Harvey's retirement has been discussed before match day and every time they have denied it. This is a beat up by the media, not St Kilda.

You don't think the fact that St Kilda had 72 more disposals, 81 more marks and 20 more tackles shows that there was a bit of a difference between the two teams? And I wouldn't have thought you'd all be so confident about Riewoldt since he had a lazy 22 touches, 10 marks and 6 goals against...

Honestly I do see huge similarities between the two teams. Lots of young guns (St Kilda's from 2000-2003, Hawks' from 2001-2004), star CHFs, strong midfields, slightly undermaned defence etc). However in what was supposed to be our best period we made a few simple mistakes that cost us our...

Hudghton has been injured pretty much all year and we wouldn't want him in the side when there is a 50% chance that he won't make it through the first quarter. I think Sam Fisher will get Franklin (it has worked before) and Gilbert will get Thorp (beat Bock last week so should be able to take...

Sounds like a Barry Brooks case. Brooks was a gun junior, drafted with huge wraps but loses all confidence after a serious injury (in Brooks' case it was a knee being wrecked and his leg wasting away). Brooks struggled in the reserves for a year or two after returning from the injury...

Max won't be back, and we really don't need him this week. Goose isn't 100% but has already made huge improvement in his 2 games since returning from injury. Was solid as a rock when we were under pressure against Adelaide and his fitness base apears to be fine. He is still giving away some...

He is hitting some solid form, but he still isn't damaging sides like he used to. He can easily rack up 25 disposals and 10 tackles without ever really standing out. Opposition teams wouldn't be too worried about him at the moment. The saints suppoerters might have that mentality, but the...

In the midfield Sewell would probably be your only tagger against Dal. Hayes is hitting form but is struggling for consistency, Harvey should go head-to-head with Crawford and Ball is now playing as a tagger. Montagna has probably been our best midfielder this year, so should at least command an...

We should see a much better game this week compared to round 8. We had 23 players to choose from in round 8 and tried to prevent a flogging rather than win the game. Players injured/suspended from round 8 that will be available next week Gram X.Clarke Thompson Watts Hayes...

I think you'd probably need to put Croad on Gehrig and have Roughead on our third tall (either Kosi or Brooks). Croad has played on Riewoldt a few times before and has been left for dead. I think your best chance of stopping Riewoldt is by playing Brown on him with support from a guy like...

We'll give you Michael Rix, Matthew Ferguson and Pick 26 for him! :) A monster ruckman, a key defender and a decent draft pick would be pretty handy for you. Does it come close?

I hope Goo does well, but assess his performance at the end of the season, not after one nab cup game. In his first kick for us, he scored a beautiful super-goal, and continued to dominate the Wizard cup, then the first 9r ound of the H&A season. After his 7-goal bag against West Coast in round...
