It was a very good win. Beating Fremantle by seven goals interstate is a worthy win. Fremantle hase not been bad the past 2-3 weeks, and St.kilda has rarely won matches at Subi.
Not sure why so much negativity on this form tonight. Did it ever occur to posters that St.kilda do not have a great list, and that we are actually more a middle of the road club, than say a top four club.
We have 6-7 great players. That does not make a great list. It's by no means a bad list, but not a good one. (Players like M.Gardiner, Gehrig, King are past their best)
Agree. We have always needed another successful draft to address some deficincies in the list (pace & skill). McEvoy, Connors and Steven have hardly played yet, and Baker/X/Kosi/Goose/Gehrig injuries have exposed our depth.
The other thing holding us back is the goalkicking. Again a problem with Roo from set shots early in the game, and Milney's snapping (failing to make the distance from 20m out directly in front).
But the tackling pressure was unbelieveable - not something you can rely on every week (as we have seen this year) but it's great to watch when it happens, particularly on the road.
