Re: Raph Clarke will cost us a flag
Regardless of how bias anyone is, how can anyone not see how slow, Indecisive, clumsy and poor skilled this guy is.
I love our players too but anyone who jeopardises the best chance that I feel we have of winning a flag for as long as I remember must go.
Just thought i would come on and pay my respects to the great man . I used to watch him play against us and he was a true character and remarkable athlete for his size and a great guy. A sad loss to football and AFL QLD .
R.I.P
Yeah he's an amazing St Kilda Passionate Clubman . Being a little bit older than him ( but Not Much) I'm fortunate enough to have been following his career from the start .Does anyone remember the flat top hair style he had as a teenager with us? One thing i DID notice was in the video clips in...
If we can come out playing like we have in the first quarters recently and HIT TARGETS with out doubt . I still stand by what i said that thats the difference between looking like the side in the NAB cup and being in the mess we're in now.
In todays football it doesnt take much a few missed...
Re: Robert harvery inspirational stories
Wow i have a bit of a lower back problem if you wouldnt mind having a look at that for me.Could have sworn Fraser Gehrig had something like that and in the end jumped off a chair to snap it?
Reminds me of the day we not only smashed Sydney but big Plugger also smashed Peter Cavens face in. The only thing is a bit of the gloss was also taken off his 12 goals cause if i remember correctly Ablett kicked 14 the same day (prick).
Incredibly not they were just standing beside each other and it came from nowhere. No umpires saw it and most spectators were all watching play up the other end of the ground its the most amazing thing ive seen in footy.
Early 80s (Showing my age here) at Moorabbin watching from the grand stand end in which footscray were kicking to , they had a player Williams ( cant remember his first name ) closest to us up forward and we had a backman on him Robert Mace. The ball was up the opposite end in our forward area...
Not surprised about Raph but i am surprised about X . I think hes a very skilled player that always shows good signs when back from injury and keeps improving each week but unfortunately just when hes coming back to his old self racking up plenty of possesions sadly he gets injured again.I...
Yeh but as i said im talking about ALL footballers today lining up for goal 25 metres out directly in front absolutely Sh--ting bricks looking like they wish they never took the mark . No wonder Brian Lake played it up for someone else to take the deciding kick for goal maybe this will will be...
The only difference is Milnes free kicks given away were 25 metres away from OUR goals not theirs as with the clangers .Disposals all depend where they go but what you have established is that he is a more effective player than Lenny Hayes ,Luke Ball,Brendon Goddard , Stephen Milne and Leigh...
Which opens another discussion.Why are players of this level such poor kicks for goal today (and theyre getting worse) consitently missing from 30 or less metres out directly in front is the pressure greater today? It certainly isnt the pace of the game today because im talking set shots....
Im sorry to say i agree and dont at all understand how anyone cant see it .ive been saying for 2 years hes penalising the side . When Robert Harveys playing with a walking stick he'll still be quicker than this guy.I know we all get defensive of our own players but my hearts in my mouth every...
The interesting part about it is on this post its all about being "annihilated" in the midfield and the serious problem we have eg too slow,too old whatever and on another post we're putting in our best players votes and adding praising comments and look who they all are and thats not adding...
So what does this mean Lenny Hayes,Luke Ball,Robert Harvey,Nick Dal Santo and Leigh Montagna arent the talent we all thought they were and up to the standard of the other teams mid field players? Or is it theyre not working as well together or what? Obviously if we need to look at other...
Well done Dees very proud of the effort but please no matter what (and trust us old Stkilda supporters we know ) no matter how soul destroying it gets times like this show what supporters are really made of, NEVER turn on them and ALWAYS stand by them .
Ive got a bit of a soft spot for Gram in a game where there is so much frustration with short chipping and passing going nowhere till a turnover occurs sometimes i love just seeing someone run bang the ball long. With the more inside 50s the more chance you have of scoring sometimes i wonder...
Im with you Tassie Saint this might not make sense but i thought we showed less fire in the belly for that win than we did in the first couple of quarters of the previous losses . Richmond have found a nice structure but looked more like how weve played recently plenty of purpose and posessions...
Yes we did benefit from some great picks but unfortunately since then we have wasted our opprtunity and lost too many good players that made up that great list and that is why i say that people who want to put Grant Thomas up there as a great coach really bear in mind how poor we played in...
Im with you FOXY DAL im not a Blake fan either but then again im not a Raph Clarke or Matt Maguire fan either . All too clumsy and turn the ball over too much. I think the best thing thats happened for us this year is the return of Brendon Goddard. Playing as solid as ever and sharp off the boot...
Hi Squizzy im not so worried as i said the structure early is good plenty of numbers around the ball with quick handballing and clearances and we look quite impressive then we run the ball out kick to a lead or at goal and miss what my sister could hit. If you notice average teams we get away...
Thanks Sainter ive been a mad keen saints supporter since going to games back in the late 70s as a teenager. For the last 13 years ive lived in Brisbane which only has a small community of aussie rules followers and if they are they're almost all Lions supporters . I used to be able to go to...
Hi everyonyone im new here but reading some of these posts i must be seeing something different every week. I believe we are playing great footy we now play with more purpose as a team we had no structure under Grant Thomas ,they used to hold the ball up all the time because they didnt know...
