The skipper needs to have a big game with his longtime nemesis Jack Steele no longer a Saint. We need to find a player to stop Jack Sinclair too, that bloke never plays a bad game against us and is constantly on his own without an opponent just racking up possessions and running us ragged. I think I want to beat StKilda more than any other team in the comp given the Carlton connections, cant have them stealing our players and then having bragging rights about beating us. Thats too much to cop from such a rubbish club and even their president Andrew Bassat annoys me with his cocky bravado, about the only thing I like about the club are Lyons pressers which are comedy gold and I look forward to seeing him perform when we beat them..
I feel uncomfortable when judges, in some cases such as this one, come out and find the person not guilt but state things like (sic)"you probably did it". In my view, the judge should leave it at not guilty and let the prosecution appeal if they feel hard done by.
I’m tipping the Pies, just hoping I’ve got it wrong.
Cookie, Won't get a better chance of beating the Pies with their average form and key players missing or sore. We have to win this one or else I can see the pressure on the club ramping up both internal and external.

Just had another look at the ins and outs. Thinking about it you are right. With Moore, DeGoey and Sidebottom all out this certainly lifts our chances. We must dominate the stoppages and stop their ball movement. Not sure we can do this all game. Let’s see what we can do with our best 22 available so I’ll go for a roughie and change my tip.
Too mentally strong for us and big reason why they have beaten us 19 out of the last 23 times.
McCrae will outcoach our man and will come up with a system to beat us regardless who they field. They got within a goal of Freo who are a top 4 team by trying to strangle them and it will be like shelling peas for him to come up with tactics for the 16th placed team to get the job done. As usual Voss will have no answers to counter it on match day.
Add in Nicks 100 game and they will get the 4 points.

In the last two weeks we have appeared to have almost put the game away half way through the final term. What is Voss supposed to do from there? Surely that's on the leaders on the field?
We should have on field generals/leaders who are capable of marshalling the troops in these situations to lock games up and go on to win. That ability seems to be completely absent, we become a rabble and fall apart. If this doesn’t get fixed then we would be wasting our time changing the coach. IMHO the leadership group’s, including the captain’s, actual leadership performances need to be closely monitored and fixed. On field generalship and coaching seems to be sadly lacking and it has been a problem for a long time.
Well I guess we all knew it was going to happen. We have too many substandard players. I'll single out the captain today, he was woeful from start to finish. Handed that ball to LDU in the centre when the game was in the balance, instead of steading the ship, he actually launches the missile that sinks it. Very disappointing.
GW’s review needs to start with the captaincy. I’ve been saying this for some time now.
