They weren't the only who said their game wouldn't stand up come finals. Could easily pick out a few more. They're quiet now..

How's their shrewed recruitment? Markov and Hill added for extra speed and skill that compliments their game plan.

Kudos to McRea, he's a fine operator.

They won by 7 pts 1 pt and 4pts They had class at the end of the GF in SS and Pendlebury but loads of players who were ineffective or barely touched it all day. A few standout performances.

Got to be a bit careful about drawing too many conclusions other than the fact they seem to be very good in tight games.

By contrast our guys soiled the bed against Carlton when we could have and should have iced the clock. So much for leadership.

which means we should have been in a PF

But it doesn't really. Kicking for goal a skill just like kicking inside fifty and from defence

Yeah I get what you are saying, but it just cuts extra deep doing enough to easily kick a winning score and not getting the job done. Worse when it happens on several occasions, champion teams just don't do that...

THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda
THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

REPORT: St. Kilda
REPORT: St. Kilda

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
