    If only St Kilda had a tall forward or two

    Still bitter and twisted and it is not being helped by all my Bulldog and non-Bulldog supporter mates telling me all week that all we need is a big forward. Premiership teams win premierships, not tall forwards, just ask St Kilda. I am glad we have Barry, if only because I won't hear the tall forward lament as the cause of all our woes for at least next year.

    For discussion/prediction.

    What will be the "so called experts" criticism of the dogs next year.

    My prediction is too short in backline and lack a dangerous, quick small forward. Neither of which I suspect will be the real cause if we do struggle in 2010.

    Too reliant on Hall.

        I agree with this one.

        First it will be we need Hall for our structure, then it will be we focus to much on the tall option.

          Now that would be ironic

            I think it could actually be possible. Once we see that big imposing figure in our forward 50 the 3-5 forwards with him may be moved to the back of our mids minds a bit.

              I don't think this will be an issue. We'll spot up Murphy coming in and then if Hall Aker or Johnno et al can't be pinpointed we'll kick it long to Hall and hope for some tasty crumbs.
              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                  No criticism. We've now arrived, well so long as Brian stays my chum. No doubt there will be talk through the year of Aker, Johnno and Eagle re ageing and whether the right call was made in going on. Hopefully they can keep the snipers mouths shut.

                    Didn't have Ronji 's avatar playing for them. Wasn't it wonderful to see the german Diver in tears To many Farren Ray's, Raph Clarke's,Zac Dawson's and that annoying little tosspot Mr September Stephen Milne:

                      He made at least 3 awful mistakes early in the first quarter.

                      Dawson wasn't too bad though while Farren had no impact.

                        Farren must have checked his calendar hence the performance.

                          The likes of Clarke and Dawson are soft targets. What exactly has Kosi done the entire finals series? No impact against the Pies, got a pasting from Lake last week and spent the best part of 2 hours today basically falling over in the contest.

                              Kosi is an easy target too. He really is unbelievably over-rated.
