Are St Kilda really that good?

[South of the Yarra]

The question was asked whether Collingwood was good enough when St Kilda beat us. We must now pose whether St Kilda are really that good. 6 goals on a perfect day, another failure in front of a big crowd and Milne failing again when it counts. Are St Kilda really that good?

 

[dan warna]

no we are terrible on today's form. Is today's form endemic, or a one off?

Pies are on top of the ladder so they are the form side in the competition at this time.

crowing rights to the pies right now.

 

[Stumpy Pete]

Yes, yes they are.

I just think the Collingwood coaching staff out smart them today. The St Kilda players aren't that bad. Credit to the Collingwood coaching staff on their tactics.

milne?
wtf?
you're kidding me

he played?

 

[clobba]

No we suck, I am just sooo devestated that our season is over

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Yes they are. They beat Geelong. Which Collingwood haven't yet.

Everyone gets so carried away with one win. Mike Sheahan is the worst at it. There will be a column on monday about how Collingwood are the new flag favourites and Geelong and St Kilda are slipping based on one week's games. Next week it will be completely different. Until 5:30pm on Saturday, September 25, nobody can pass judgement on how good or bad a team really is. Anyone can beat anyone on their day and the pies had a good day today and that's it.

 

[jerry springer]

we have won exactly he same amount of flags as Stkilda over the past 3 years-Zero

Difference is the st Kilda supporters actually carrying on like they have won something of note

 

[Ant85]

Yes, St.Kilda are good.

They don't have stage fright. They beat the Cats a few weeks ago.

Next week's match against the Hawks will be another big game and big crowd for St.Kilda, and I'm sure they'll rise to the occasion.

The question that has been answered today isn't whether St.Kilda are good or not, we know they are, it's that Collingwood is just as good on present form.

 

[AG]

lol. Collingwood are the measuring stick now?

 

[Sttew]

Collingwood on top, clear by 2 points. They are THE team to beat in 2010

 

[absfab]

St Kilda were always in trouble from the moment the teams were announced. The absence of Anthony, Cloke and Maxwell was simply too much for the Saints to overcome.

 

[Quinz]

Collingwood should really go on and win the flag from here.

 

[db swannie]

Let's hope this is a nail in the coffin of the Saints style of play. Doubt it, but it would be good if they finally realized that they can't keep playing this snorefest style of play. Aside from that sequence of play just before halftime, they never looked dangerous in any attacking sense.

Ring the siren...

Ring the siren!!!

 

[rhaz]

Yes, they are good. They took Geelong right to the wire in last years grand final and will go deep into september this year.

 

[Wokko]

Yes, they are good. They took Geelong right to the wire in last years grand final and will go deep into september this year.

Out in straight sets. Geelong then Hawthorn. Bang, bang.

 

[Vdubs]

Rare loss against a desperate Pies team, yes Saints are that good, and for me, the team to beat. But Pies and Dogs are that good too.

Comes down to which team in September is at their peak, not rd 11 or rd 16. Could well be Hawks vs Pies GF, but IMO, Saints will be there

 

[Blues_Man]

Collingwood are on top of the ladder having just beaten the Saints ..Pies should go on from here and win the Flag comfortably..anything less and it will be considered a choke .

 

[Invigoration]

Overrated and can't play the MCG. Not going to win anything in September kicking 50 points a game Ross.

How long til the knives come out for him? It didn't take long for them to give Thomas the boot after two years of what was considered to be underperformance.

 

[Hump 17]

No clearly there no good. Riewoldt has been dominating for a months and was shown up today, Dal Santo was well held and clealy everything fell there way and couldnt get over the line. They also had the advantage of a less days break coming back from the rock hard GABBA why didnt they come out running Why after a week back after 6 games out cant Gram dominate? As for the coach this training loading crap six weeks out is all a myth.

 

[HyperAgressiveDonk]

Collingwood should really go on and win the flag from here.

Yes they should, because it's all over by round 16 and we should just stop the competition now and award the premiership to Collingwood.

 

[Roby]

They are still the favourites. They will want it more come finals. On the other hand while Collingwood will end up finishing on top, they probably won't replicate that in the finals.

No the saints aren't that good. There's at least 3 teams better than them at the moment.

Looks like the Saints are gonna have to wait another half a century to win another flag.




Kinda feel sorry for 'em.
