Because he's the only player I can't see in the lineup on the AFL website.

Willo did a calf at training in Thu apparently.

What are they doing? Can't they kick? What is this about handballs? They outscored St Kilda 66 to 39 in handballing. This is very promissing.

Where is Schauble... PLEASE!

By no measure is Schauble behind both LRT and Saddo (for any position on the ground).
There's a story there, I'm sure of it.
...but given that we're not a Melbourne team, we'll probably never find out.

We're ultra-flooding meaning we have nobody to kick to on the rebound. We are playing a style tonight that says "lets keep the damage to a minimum". Go on Roosy, let them be daring, play to win instead of playing not to lose.

This overpossession is terrible - handball after handball to someone standing still in no better a position is killing us.

The scary thing as well is that guys like Jones, Dal Santo and Ball have had nothing of it so far for St Kilda - you don't keep players of that quality quiet for a full game.

Spot on Mike, on all accounts. Get 'em back and make it ugly seems to be about as creative as we ever get.

LRT is doing OK.
Yes, I said it.

Willo did his calf? dammit - any word on how long he'll be out?

He did it on Thursday and they thought he might still play tonight, (well, that was the story ) so it can't be that bad.

...Bevan needs time in the reserves.

Wagga must have a brilliant full forward playing tomorrow.

Umpires?
Seriously, I think we get a bad run from umpires, because we make so much more work for them .

Better quarter on the scoreboard for us, but that's about it. Still playing a crap brand of football with awful skills. Very lucky to not be behind by alot more - Riewoldt has caught our disease of not being able to kick straight.

thanks for that midaro

he he Bobby Skilton slammed the umpires on Triple M's @ half-time

pressure of matching on LRT is getting into him .

A few decisions have been dodgy, but most of them have been there. The umps could be better, but if we're relying on them to get us back into the game, we're deluded.

Mike that's pretty much what BS said

[Jeffers1984]

just like someone said before. the Aints main ball winners Dal Santo and Ball have done SFA atm.

No matter the outcome of this game. The coaching staff have to come to the conclusion that THIS FREAKEN GAMEPLAN WILL NOT WIN US A PREMIERSHIP!
