Fiora

[Bentleigh]

Still reckon he is a gun?

 

[Skeptic]

still doin better than Knobel

 

[Terry Tan]

he's as soft as butter. Very, very ordinary footballer.

You can see him pack himself when he goes near a contest, and his decision making and disposal are below par.

When is he going to lift?

honestly, what do Stkilda ppl think of Fiora now they have seen him for a good while? he showed he is capable at the start of the season, but appears to have dropped off. courage and consistency appears to be a weak as ever - but admittedly his best is much better than he played at richmond.

for the record, im very happy with Knobels input at richmond - second highest contested marks from all ruckman in the league, willing to break packs, and usually fairs better than his oppenent when it comes to hitouts

Fiora is a very capable player. He was selected to high by Richmond, but when he is going well can be instrumental in giving a side run and carry. Should play on a wing, without the thought of moving him. Had his worst game for 12 months on Fri night.

Will bounce back.

It seems it's going to take Fiora a while to unlearn all the bad habits he developed at Richmond... it seems that in the pre-season hype we all forgot that we picked up a project player not an automatic gun

It seems it's going to take Fiora a while to unlearn all the bad habits he developed at Richmond...

.......and learn all of St . Kilda`s

What is the relevance of comparing Knobel and Fiora? Richmond got Troy Simmonds, Saints got Fiora and Dockers got Heath Black. The question for Saints supporters is Heath Black or Fiora. For the record, unlike many other Tiger supporters, I was sorry to see Fiora leave Tigerland. But the die was cast, we had lost Ottens, at that stage didn't have Knobel and needed a big guy. We had to give something up to get Simmonds, rather than depend on him nominating for pre-season draft and risking the vagaries of trade week.

Good luck for rest of season - Saints are great to watch when flying - and I'm sure you will be flying again before year end and creating havoc come September.

Fiora had a hamstring injury that kept him out of Rounds 10-12. Two or three bad games are expected when returning from an injury.

I am confident he'll be fine within the next few weeks.

Heath Black, 35 touches today.
