Dean Kent just limped off at Saints training and likely to miss this week and maybe more.

So, who will play first - Kent or AVB?

Oh thank you LH, exactly what I was going to say.

Maybe neither for us.

Melbourne and North the front runners.

I am neither here nor there with Richo - I am wondering what the powers that be, see as the value that he would bring, and for what role?

Richo will give us great intel in how to beat ...well....Melbourne.

Would rather try and get Balmey back.  Success seems to follow wherever the old statesman goes.  Love his " say alot but give nothing" banter with the usual press injury questions also!

Mmmm, let's not crucify Goodwin for similar traits though eh.

I think Goody's been copping it more for the "after match" pressor responses EG.  Not sure he even deals with the standard injury stuff during the week.  In fact i can't recall who does down there.

You certainly haven't seen / heard any of that the from myself.  The whole pressor scenario is a complete sham/circus with pretty much the same inane questions every week.  Don't really care how Goody handles them.   What he's doing/saying within the four walls is all that matters IMV.

Personally I don’t see the appeal. Goody doesn’t know how to set up and play at the ‘G. We need a coach who has come from a successful club who’s home ground was the same as ours.

Richo had no issue playing the G when he met us.

Won 3 of 4 meetings at the G.

I think that was more to do with his opposition rather than the venue.

Yeah - let's get Malthouse. Could be a director of coaches?

20 or so people who contribute to the Herald Sun were asked at the start of this season who would make the top 8. Malthouse was the only person who didn’t tip Melbourne to finish in the 8. He was lambasted at the time. Maybe he’s not a crazy old coot.

As someone said he is very much the alpha male and I cant see him fitting in and supporting - he would want to be the dominant force. Pass.

Ha! Madhouse hates us. Had always have us outside the 8.

Regardless, he's a crazy old coot

It's not about having any claim to fame on the G...nor having won a bit of silverware. It's really about having a footy brain and a normal brain that knows when to do what. I for one wouldnt judge anyone per se just  because of a StKilda association. There is no stranger fish than the StKFC. But he seems a reasoned and experienced football mind that seems capable of bending like a tree. We've got to many rock -types currently.

Hell...he has our lot sussed.

I saw him over summer down the surf coast with his missus. He was cracking it because pedestrians were walking on the wrong side of the footpath.

I hope he gave it a stern dressing down and kept it in its place!

Malthouse was probably telling the tree how poplar he is.
