Gee that Dion Prestia goes alright, 38 possies against arguably the best midfield in the comp...anyone heard of him??

Come home, Dion. Despite what some say, we do very much need your services.

This is St Kildas injury list for Round 11

 ST KILDA

Player	Injury	Estimated Return
Jack Billings	Ankle	Test
Sam Fisher	Hamstring	TBC
Jimmy Webster	Illness	Test

 

And Billings and Webster are playing vs the Crows!  Their list is a joke and their absolute best team is getting annihilated

They were always being held together by aging stars. I thought they'd stay in the middle of the pack for another season, but it seems they might be going down sooner.

I know...that just  #@!!! with my head.  Bolton, one year  ( not even ) with that rabble has got them actually up and about despite a fair share of injuries.

 

We, with our sooper dooper  you beaut "plan"  still see-sawing ..  I know we;re heading in the right direction but we just got overtaken by bloody  Carlton FFS !!

 

Carlton could possibly win 5 more games for the year.. They've a BETTER chance than we have on current offerings. 

I think it's hilarious. They need draft picks to build their ordinary list. Like St Kilda, Carlton's team is being held together be their older players, with very little coming through below that. Cripps and Weitering. Maybe Curnow in time. Anyone else? The higher they finish, the less likely they are to ever get anywhere with their current list. They need at least another year or two in the bottom 4 to get picks. Their spine is rubbish and their midfield is old. They're going nowhere. Bolton's structures and coaching are wallpapering their deficiencies for the moment, but they will be in big trouble if it continues.

Port v Pies 

Interesting stats and highlights  why to take them with a truckload of salt.

By winning consecutive games - when did we last string together more than two...two for that matter.

Based on what? Current form of both teams?

Based on their form in rounds 1,3,5,6,7,9 and 10.

[binman 39,076]

The Saints are pretty lucky to not cop more stick in the media for their losses. Much of the footy media still bracket us with them i reckon but whilst its tru they beat us they have been absolutely smashed on several occasions and we haven't. That suggest they have fair way to go.

Have a look at Carlton's form and the looming injury list of Stkilda

I think the bigger thing is with us the " Handover" has happened, in terms of our side now belongs to Gawn, Hogan, Viney, Tyson and co and the older boys are really playing supporting roles, that hasn't happened at the Saints, they're still relying on the older boys to carry the team on the most part and that's why we're much closer to a flag than they are.

[Sir Why You Little 34,845]

It is still an absolute disgrace and blight on the FD and the playing list that we lost to both Essendrug and The Aints this year. 

The Roos era is 11 weeks away from ending and we are still a long way off where we should be. 

I expected this years performance in 2015

I will never understand why AFL players cannot kick an accurate pass to a running teammate...

we continually fail in this basic fundamental.

And yet we continue to be their [censored].

I am SO sick of losing to them, about as sick as playing against them at Etihad always and forever, even when it is our home game.

I hate how St Kilda continues to avoid criticism in the media.

I maintain that if it was Melbourne getting belted like that, the media would be all over us. 

I don't know why it frustrates me so much, but it does.

You were spot-on . Kudos. Really didn't think the Saints would get up for this one.

[hells bells 2,023]

Haven't seen it mentioned on here yet so apologies if I'm doubling up, but Kurt Tippett and Gary Rohan are likely to miss against the Dees next week.  I still doubt we can win but it doesn't hurt.

We'll win comfortably Ethan.

I bet Neville Jetta will be involved in more one-on-one contests with Lance Franklin than Tom McDonald will.
