Saints have some work to do

[Damp Squarie]

Reinwoldt looked OK
Bourke was quiet
Stewart Lowe is over rated - (And that NOT a troll)
Milne was good
Peckett played well


Just my obs

 

[Portia]

My observation was how many players St Kilda have with Germanic surnames

Fraser Gehrig
Aaron Hamill
Trent Knobel
Nick Riewoldt
Troy Schwarze
Brett Voss
Daniel Wulf
Stewart Loewe

Its eerie....

 

[Falchoon]

Koschitzke wouldn't be from too far away either.

 

[Darkhour]

Wha?!.. Am I missing something?...

Loewe you must remember is old and his kicking has never been that good but if he has a good day then.... 7 goals vs Kangaroos last year etc...

If Stewie Loewe can spend 80% of the year at full forward or in the pockett he will kick 40-60 goals. Still capable enough to kick big bags, but if he is struggling down there he can be thrown into the ruck.

The Saints achilles heel will most likely be their consistency, will beat a good team one week and then lose to a bottom team the next. I think they still need another 1 or 2 good in and under onballers, some quality small backmen to back up Lawrence and Jones and luck with injuries.

However I can see them winning 7-11 games for the season and if a lot of luck goes their way maybe a spot in the 8.

after seeing last weeks game, i am not sure that when stewie is struglling he should be thrown in the ruck. i think he should be taken off. get another ruckman in. one of the problems last week was the centre clearances, st kilda didn't win centre clearances until everitt moved into the ruck.st kilda's other 2 ruckmen are injured at the moment.

St kilda need to win some early games to not just to gain confidence in themselves but to draw more supportes to become members. and that may take a while!!
